Welcome Julian Alvarez | Signing confirmed on a five-and-a-half year deal

[colorado blue]

I would think that if he doesn`t already City may ask him to start looking at taking English lessons,sooner rather than later.
I`m certain I read an article just before Pep arrived saying that he wanted all new signings to be able to converse in English and I think the only player who I havn`t seen in an interview speaking English is Eddie, but he may feel more comfortable in speaking in his native language.
However he can say "Call for Carson" in perfect English. ;)

According to Carson, Eddies English is broken but really good.

I watched the first half of yesterday's 0-0 friendly. This video is pretty representative of what I saw. It features 2nd half action from the latest arrivals to the River squad - Quintero and Barca - but you can watch our boy Julian at striker. He's the one in the ManCity blue boots. [wink]

I watched the entire match live yesterday to scout him. First thing I will say I noticed about him that was beyond world-class and noticeable straight away was his link up play that was as good as suarez at his prime, infact I would say that his game play until the box remind me very much of suarez. but inside the box he is not all like suarez but instead very much like agureo in that he tries to have a bust of pace on the blind side of defenders and get a first time shot, I can see where the aguero comparison comes from though I would say his burst of pace for 5 yards is not as good as aguero but the top speed is similar. added to this alvarez like jesus is a relentless presser and harasses anyone in sight. all in all it is no wonder pep bought him.

Looking at the state of the pitch at RP, he'll love the pitch at City.

The pitch, as the team, is still in preseason form lol.

Regarding Álvarez, that was probably his worst match in quite some time. He still almost scores a golazo (7:00 minute mark).

I watched a good part of Unión de Santa Fe 1 - 0 River Plate and Alvaréz didn’t look good playing in the setup below. Granted, their season is still starting, but I don’t see Pep using him like this
