Thor 2,817 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, mkh and Strike 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...

lluubbeenn 188 Posted June 7, 2024 Share Posted June 7, 2024 (edited) We are in silly season at its best. We are close to buying or selling a different player every two days. All this information confuses me. I am really not sure what I want for the club. There are a lot of pros and cons with most of these transfers both ins and outs. The only thing I know is that we have zero leeway because of the past two horrendous seasons. We MUST get it right and be one of the top teams this season in order to keep our reputation. Let’s hope we manage to build a fit, competitive and exciting squad and support it with all our hearts! COYB! 🔵 Edited June 7, 2024 by lluubbeenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people are clamouring for Alvarez as our main man ahead of Jackson, clearly did not watch him last season. I watched him a lot last season and he was really underwhelming based on the team he is playing for and considering he got several opportunities up front as Haaland had a few injured spells last season.

Alvarez is a good overall player but spending that much is crazy, he would end up like Havertz here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 31,037 Posted June 7, 2024 Share Posted June 7, 2024 After watching a lot of clips of Omari, I am convinced he can play and do well on the LEFT wing as well plus at AMF where he assisted from the left side or scored a goal with his right foot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costa19 858 Posted June 7, 2024 Share Posted June 7, 2024 (edited) Im not hot at all on Alvarez. Maybe for £30-40m maximum. If Jackson played for City, people would beg the club to pay £80-100m if we had the chance. Jackson is better and younger.
