Totally disagree. I think he has been bang average this season. I know he is behind Haaland but the few games where he has played up front, he has not convinced at all. I think he would struggle in a lone striker formation for any team bar City. His first season at City he looked a lot better. This season, he has been underwhelming. He may be a better finisher than Jackson but I don't think he is ready to lead the line for us at all. If we are going to go for a CF, defo think we should look elsewhere.

You may be right. But I think I’d still rather take a chance on him than some other unproven young talent coming from another league.

Only Rodri, Foden, Walker, and Edison played more minutes in the PL for City. 

I prefer Sesko personally, Alvarez is solid but i don't see world class player in him.

Not sure that this will pays into transfers at all. 

[Thor 2,779]

Alvarez for 50 mil. Shouldn’t pay more. Not a starter. Doesn’t lead the line. Great potential. 
 

I doubt that gets it done though.

I'm okay with either of them, maybe leaning towards Alvarez a bit more.

He was at Cobham 2 years he's not our youth product he was an Arsenal youth product. We are just going to capitalize on his potential.

Semantics. He came through Cobham is what I meant., and he's been with the club since 2008.

And that's BEFORE he even went to Arsenal after rejoining Chelsea. So in my view, definitely MORE of a Chelsea youth product instead of Arsenal.

And capitalizing on Chelsea youth is what this new administration is good at. While stockpiling youth from other clubs at fees disproportionate to their performances.

No, not if we accept the Conference League, as then we are under the more strict UEFA FFP regime

Agree with this. He's a good player but won't break the bank for him considering its clear we have to do some accounting gymnastics to make our signings. 

We have Nkunku who's a similar forward too. Would prioritise a leading #9

"accounting gymnastics" 😆

Essentially, if we don't sell our academy products for decent money, we're screwed (that's why I see Gallagher being sold as I don't think Chalobah or Broja will get that much in transfer fees).

Maybe James, Fofana and Lavia were getting bored and they want a new buddy in the treatment room.

Again he spent 4 years with the club and was released - he then received a footballing education in his formative years with Arsenal 8 years as an Arsenal academy player where he earned his footballing education. If that is the case you can say he also came through at Charlton Athletic.

Please let it be true. 

The worst buy of all history is Lukaku and that happen with Roman and Tuchel.
