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

Wow , some excellent finishes there.

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

He shows intelligent movement, he's quick off the mark (without being rapid), has a venomous strike with his left or right, works his socks off, can drop deep to pick passes...

I'm actually seeing similarities with Tevez.

And we can talk about the quality of opposition, but Carlos didn't leave South America until he was 22 - and he ended up doing OK didn't he?

 

[Tarzan41]

Some really City goals there as well. Arriving at the right time. Pressing the keeper etc.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

all six ...

Seems we have a south American Halaand.

 

[razman]

great goals that !

This guy is CF, he isn't winger as some expect him.

He had 1 appearance on the right & 1 on the left

while he played the remaining games as CF.

He’s been a striker mostly in a 2 this year at club level but is capable of playing left and right and he will play there because Haaland is going to be the main man, and he’s going to play on the wing for Argentina most likely.

What was it Pep said at the time of signing him? “We have incredible reports on him.” IN-CRE-DI-BLE :)

Clearly the opposition was pathetic but even so, the confidence and exuberance that his finishes exude is something else.

Yeah, you have to factor in the opposition for sure but some lovely finishes though

To go from no strikers for 2 years to 2 world class strikers who can score with either foot is just fucking scary.
In fact some might say it’s City cheating again lol

Oh, they will, they will.

 

[vin]

He reminds me of Aguero/Jota. Very low centre of gravity, can score with either foot.
Honestly think he’s going to fuckin explode in this team. We’ve signed a proper player here.

 

[ancoats]

alvarez could well sneak under the radar and then shine in this city squad next season
options that's all pep wants/needs up front ? Yes the false 9 works, but it's bloody hard work when players are being asked to score goals that are not natural to them, square pegs in round holes

give pep the right tools, and he will add the polish to this build
