Chelsea Transfers

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.

he really said this?

He’s so bitter he wasn’t in the running to get the job again

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.

I mean. It’s probably happening. This stuff always leads to it.

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! 🔵

9 assists looks pretty good as someone who often played as an AM https://www.transfermarkt.us/julian-alvarez/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/576024/wettbewerb/GB1/saison/2023

Assists is good but if we are wanting him to be our main man, he isn't the answer imo.

there always be a context in this kind of a number

we are paying to city. he is only 24 years old and a very decent ratio goals/minute 

He had several games last season where he played up front and he was underwhelming in most of them. 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.

If we're looking for more of an attacking mid/winger type, surely the guy to go after is Eze at Palace.  

Alvarez is a good overall player but spending that much is crazy, he would end up like Havertz here...

We have a good chance with Alvarez because:

1) he's only 100k/pw

2) can promise starting spot which in City is not gonna happen 

3)  Pep have this philosophy when player says I want to leave he just says ok 

4) Enzo best buddy 

If Alvarez is determined to leave City then I think he may prefer a Champions League destination like PSG.

80M pounds its too much but I prefer give this for him that 100M pounds for oimhen, for example

Osimhen's release clause is €130m (£111m as the pound is bit up versus the euro since March, when it was as high as £113m)

Alvarez over Osimhen all day

Alvarez would be a superb bit of business

£70-75m or fuck off

and I really do not want to sell him

but £70-75m is a lot

£50m?

fuck off

he is a vital player and his stats back that up

his all-round stats are off the charts when taken as a holistic package

Tosin is now confirmed by the club

[Vesper 29,046]

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
