There's only one Julian Orchard !

I'm expecting like around 2000 striker minutes?

Basically all the cup games, and to sub haaland off in the premier league and champions league.

Haaland to get the other say 3300 or so minutes.

 

[eversince 76]

Brought in under the radar and with all the attention going to Haaland, he might surprise a lot of people and media pundits.

 

[jrb]

He might be impressed with the £150mill CFA?

The sadness of Zuculini at JulianAlvarez's farewell. The now former River will be traveling to Manchester in the next few hours to be officially presented alongside Norwegian Erling Haaland.

 

[Chi-town blues]

Is that you Julian?

rag?

 

[p.taker]

Zuculini must be thinking, "What if?"

 

[14aguero]

Hopefully, about five league goals and five more from the domestic cup games.

On the plus side, it’s the middle of Winter in Argentina atm, and he’s flying in with a guaranteed week of hot weather in Manchester before the team fly out on the US tour.

How he will fair playing through Autumn and Winter in England when he is used to playing in the Primera División throughout the Summer in Argentina is anyones guess.

Old habits, sorry...

 

[JRockBlues]

I wouldn't be surprised if he starts the Community Shield. He''ll be more match sharp than anyone else at the club.

Torres played 300+ mins last August, 200+ last September, fwiw

.. I am getting Sergio/Tevez vibes from this player. He seems to have his head screwed on

Hmmm Tevez might have looked like his head had just been screwed on but I'm not really sure it was attached in his golfing period!

 

[Heath Park]

players with unconventional number do well for us usually.

Indeed
Numbers 21 and 42 were not bad at all!!

 

[Bluemoon_420]

Hard not to get excited about him…

 

[SebastianBlue]

Hard not to get excited about him…

Very early days, but he reminds me a bit of a young Van Persie, with more pace.

If he progresses similarly he’ll score and assist many, many goals in a sky blue shirt.

 

[crazyg]

Surprised hes had 19, thought he would have gone for Raheems 7 when he goesView attachment 49053

Colin Bell's number in Mexico 1970. He's got a lot to live up to, and I hope he does!

 

[remember arthur mann]

Can't see the lad fitting in, he wants to shoot on sight, from any distance, anywhere. Won't fit into walking it into the net or tiki taki football !!

It was weird when some adopted the North east slang mint, apparently as a geordie with a low vocabulary used it a lot on Big Brother.
