bluesman2610 1,430 Posted July 27, 2024 Share Posted July 27, 2024 If Maresca can fix our defensive issues I don’t see why he can’t do well here. The main thing will be concentration as he shouldn’t have his goal peppered like it was at Villarreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 19,248 Posted July 27, 2024 Share Posted July 27, 2024 Obviously we should all hope for the best and give Jorgensen a chance before we shit on him. But goddamn, do we have to give everyone we sign a SEVEN year contract?! Especially a keeper. Did we not learn our lesson with Kepa when we gave him a 7 or 8 year contract? If this guy comes in and flops in his very first season the entire football world will see it because he‘ll now be on the biggest stage rather than under the radar at a smaller club like Villareal. Then how would we shift him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wise Old Man 38 Posted July 27, 2024 Share Posted July 27, 2024 Sánchez is already a championship standard keeper. De Zerbi outcast him at Brighton as he was a constant liability on the ball , which he also proved last season, giving away goals and chances. I know we won’t go and get the worlds best GK but is it too much to ask to have someone competent in goal? Someone who isn’t a constant drain on our points. Could easily be the difference between top 4 or another year outside the CL. if Sánchez starts or this guy turns out worse than Sánchez then the season is already over , it isn’t viable to achieve anything with goalkeepers who throw away games routinely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are currently more stable. They need a striker as much as we do. CL football. Enzo Fernandez could help with that. They spent a lot of time together not long ago. I think that playing nice football becomes a possibility once you have multiple skillful players in your team, and signing Alvarez would def move us towards that direction esp considering what the manager intends. I honestly think a signing of this caliber would put us back at the top. Yes, we'd still have weaknesses, but IMO players like Alvarez raise the overall level of play of a team. I'd not be surprised if Enzo himself improves having Alvarez around, and the club may be thinking that as well given the investment on Enzo. His xG is irrelevant in my view, because he's a player who can help increase the 'x' (expected) variable. Oh well, let's hope.
