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

[StrutterBlue]

Whatever people think of him and his status as a United legend and all around dickhead, he would have been sensational as our false 9 in the short term.

In all seriousness, I agree, imagine where the rags would have finished without his goals last season

 

[Chi-town blues]

has he scored yet?

A lot of people are sleeping on Alvarez, especially outside the club. The media want the Haaland clicks and seem to have all but ignored this signing, which only further exposes their ignorance.
Like Cole Palmer I think he will surprise a few as next season progresses

Had the dippers signed him the media would have spent the last few months telling us he’s better than peak Messi.

Should've marked this post that some viewers might find this disturbing.

I don't think he'll get much more than the odd ten minutes here and there for his first season but i think he'll be a big player for us eventually.

You’ll be wrong

And that's the real benefit to all of this

Guy looks good, fast, strong..

Im 50-50 as to whether we see him regular, hope so though.

I think in or out the team it will take a couple of seasons for this guy to adjust to life over here.

Nobody knows.
Not even Pep. After he has initially settled, the Club and he will decide if he needs a break first.
Then he needs to be assessed fitness wise, learn a new style of play, pep will assess his strengths as to where he may fit in, then if each stage goes well he may get some minutes, if it goes really well he might even get a start.
Hope the weather stays good that will help.
