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.

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 30,085]

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

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.

Tosin for me can be the next Azpi or Cahill sort of defensive signing. Those two were bought for absolute peanuts and turned out to be some of the best pound for pound signings we’ve ever made. But in this case it’s FREE. 

As for Alvarez, I’m getting more and more convinced that he can be the guy we’re looking for. He has been “pretty good” at City where he has forced to be more of a supporting cast player but just a short time ago when he was at River Plate he looked like he was going to become a genuine £100m player. He could seriously be primed to explode into what his potential showed in the same way we saw with Cole Palmer. Maybe just needs to leave City and be given the faith.confidence to become “the man” instead of just another cog in the Guardiola machine.

If PSG have half a brain (questionable) they would take that €300m (£256m) or so they saved with Mbappe (they do not have to pay the massive loyalty payment plus his huge salary) and buy Osimhen and Leão (Leão now has a crazy £148m release clause but AC Milan will take 5 payments over 5 years and I wager they would come down a bit as no other huge club will drop or can drop that type of money)

or swap out Leão for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia

or swap out Lautaro Martínez for Osimhen

the only other top 35 valued players who are actually available that PSG doesnt already have are

Wirtz

Musiala

Bruno Guimarães

Julián Álvarez (perhaps available)

Alvarez for the right money / salary no brainer imo. Hard to say what the right price is though. 

I think it is pretty normal that when you're stuck playing second fiddle to Haaland your form / confidence / motivation drops off. I'd go after him or Sesko to compete with NJ and open up the option to play one of them as a LW in a 4-3-3, similar to how we had Malouda or Anelka playing out there when really they were more of a forward and a clinical finisher. Those were the golden days...
