Made a name for himself playing well in Austria at a young age, but he has performed several horror shows for Leipzig and Bayern, not reliable at all. And somehow still made it to Deschamps' squad. Hope we miss out on him, stick with Adarabioyo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll probably be pretty tricky to go out and try to convince a very good striker to come to City knowing that they’ll be Haaland’s backup.

Not so difficult if it is someone like Alvarez himself; someone who can play behind the striker or on the wings. Haaland himself is a pure striker -- can't really play anywhere else.

He has plenty of games there as CF and SS. He has 16 more shots on goal than Jackson, and the same amount on target. Also 5 less open play goals since he took 2 penalties... I just don't think he is the sure fire lock that people think he is, and he is 80-100 mil... Stats, Strike and Costa19 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His shot on goal, conversion rate and total goals is less than our younger striker who people say isn't great and want to get rid of. Given our "money watching" - I think the fee for the risk is ridiculous. He should be a 50 mil player. Stats and Costa19 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like good players regardless of position, and Alvarez is one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 2,831 Posted June 6, 2024 Share Posted June 6, 2024 Alvarez is a similar profile to Nkunku but will more than likely cost us double and then some. Probably a more relentless presser of the ball - but I think its wild to pay that much. Costa19, Strike and mkh 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar in a way that he play in multiple attacking positions, but I'd say Nkunku is more of a ST/LW while Alvarez is, like you said, more of a passer and operates better in a CAM, so ST/CAM/RW. Still see them all complementary to some degree and he could be backup for Cole as well. Still unsure about Nkunku's fitness to entirely honest. I no longer try to second guess the transfer market as fees are completely nuts tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
