It's amazing on here that a player we signed for 100 million of the Queens finest is allowed a 12 month "bedding in" period, yet a young kid , with potential from Argentina is expected to rip the Premier League a new one next season.Granted I've only watched 6-7 matches if I had to guess, I've seen nothing to indicate he's ready to step up from the Argentinian league to the best team in the world and one of the best teams the EPL has ever seen. I'm surprised at Txiki's comments jumping the gun confirming Alvarez will be with the first team next year without having played a single minute. Why not see how he looks in pre season and go from there?
If Alvarez finishes next season with 10 starts and 6 goals and a couple of assists , he will have done exceptionally well.
