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

I think the biggest obstacle this lad may face in his 1st season will be moving to a new country & language at a young age.
We might have a new predator on the books ,that was all kinds of natural finishing .

Sadly for the players they have so many internationals in June most probably wont get a break till mid / late June. With an early pre season cant see them getting more than 2/3 weeks off which when considering the last few seasons of absolute relentless games, just doesn't seem enough.

Its about time commonsense came into these prolonged shit international games that have no meaning ,just about greed .
Let the players have a proper break instead of flogging them to death .
No doubt next season their will be international games in late August ,sept , October leading up to The Winter World Cup & they will still want the season to end in May !

Agreed but there’s little doubt Haaland and Alvarez are an upgrade on Jesus.
Hopefully we can still get good money for him.
We are now really starting to see the fruits of Pep’s work and legacy; we are able to attract top players without having to pay through the nose for them.
They want to come because we are the most attractive proposition out there. Money is no longer the driver.
Being a City fan just keeps getting better!

I don't really think you can come to that conclusion on the basis of the Haaland and Alvarez signings. With Haaland we reaped the benefit of a release clause that was obviously set way too low, and with Alvarez, fees are way lower in S. America than they are in Europe. £15 million or whatever it was is quite a lot of money for a relative unknown in Argentina. And Alvarez probably earned peanuts at River Plate, I'm sure the money would have been a huge incentive. he'd probably never even heard of Manchester City before we approached him.

It ends on 28th May 2023
 
Looking at his double hattrick he looks like a proper player. He is very quick , good movement , scores in and outside the area. He looks a really good player. He won't be a bench warmer

I am sure City always give the players the recommended 3 weeks off. This would mean they should be back around 5th July from their 3 weeks break

Plenty of time before the first relevant fixture the community shield on the 30th July

We shouldn't have the same problem starting the season with an under prepared squad
