FFS Alvarez?
Is somebody going to create a song for him...
I normally scorn posts about songs. However, the Volare (Mancini) tune is tailor made for him.
Alvarez rhymes with Mahrez,FFS Alvarez?

Julian rhymes with hooligan.

I'm a little confused on the loan situation. With just about every promising young player we have its deemed more important for them to be in training every day learning from Pep but Alvarez is 22 years old and not only is he staying for this season we might even let him play in Argentina next year as well. Also we're signing a striker this summer. Is this a CFG signing?
Its more like the Jesus signing than a CFG one. He went back to Palmeiras until their Libertadores run was complete.
Same thing is happening here only we’ve signed him before their season rather than midway like Jesus. Probably also muddied by the WC in November.
Ultimately it’s not the right time to bring him over, we know what Pep is like during the run in and his minutes would be limited. He’s tied down now and July or Next Jan works better for all parties - by then we should have sorted our striker situation and have a better idea where Jesus/Sterling/Mahrez contracts are heading.

Don‘t you just love it when a player is written off unseen, before even pulling a shirt on?CFG signing. Will be surprised if he ever pulls on a City shirt.

Deary me!
He's on the brink of making the Argentina WC squad, he wasnt gonna move without playing time, the loan suits us both right now. He's tied down, under a manager we know and like, he gets playing time. I expect the deck to be shuffled in Summer with maybe two out of the frontline sold or shopped around.
If he's 22 and we don't think he can get playing time over Grealish, Jesus, Foden or Sterling, none of whom are very good at all as a central striker, how good can this guy really be?
