New striker?

He’s probably not near enough the finished article for us, but there’s just something about River Plate’s Julian Alvarez that intrigues me. I know Ajax want him and apparently Villa, too, and he’s almost certainly bound for Europe soon. He’s been a winger but is starting to fill out and has the physical strength and that low centre of gravity that helps to play through the middle. Got a brace in the Superclasico yesterday and now has 7 in 11 in the league this season. Call me nostalgic but I do miss having an Argentinian in the team.


He will go to Ajax for peanuts then he comes to premier for millions
 
I think Lacazette would be a good and cheap temporary option in January.

Will have six months left on his £180k a week and determined to leave. Arsenal will take pennies.

A bit injury prone, but very quick and knows where goal is.

I agree. We could take him on loan till the end of the season as a sort of extended interview.

Not a fan.

I'd rather us play Torres over a has been striker for the last 3 years.
 
Torres needs a run of games. He is quick attacks space in the penalty area. I say play him as much as possible until the transfer window. Then City will know if he can be a striker worthy of this great team or not.
 
If I were a betting person, I'd bet on Vlahovic. Going into his final year at fiorentina therefore a slightly discounted price, probs in the 50-75 range. Not a lot of evidence that city have the stomach for a big deal that doesnt have a release clause these days, just can't see city paying Raiola 50 mil and alfe inge 25 mil and dortmund 150 mil and erling 500k a week. Would love to be wrong.
