Rumours around Julian Alverez have started up. Was expecting these to be honest, his best mate is Enzo (our midfielder not manager)

City was 70mill apparently. 

No one is going to pay that.

Alvarez and Enzo reunited? Atletico Madrid for Alvarez?  Maybe Enzo the younger would join him there?

Dewsbury Hall is a rumour I’ve seen in a few places now.

Is he any good?

Decent player, had a very good year in the Championship. But it's the Championship. At PL level I suspect he'd be a poor man's Anthony Gordon.

Aye I think is a price to put clubs off.

£70m for a striker who doesn't score goals.

I'll be honest mate I don't know too much about him, so please feel free to call me out. Just looking at his goalscoring record though I'm not sure he's worth £70m for us. Would prefer a finisher rather than a bits and pieces forward.

Edited June 6, 20242 yr by Gordon Bennett

I don't know if he's just overshadowed and out of position at city, but he has looked total w**k since he moved there.

Been played at CAM or at wing this season and still produced some good numbers. 

We are the English club linked.

70mill is too much. Good finisher played out of position at City most of the time.

Surprise surprise lol.

Looking at the options and quality for value, 70m for Alvarez doesn't seem too bad. 

Proven PL finisher who works very well in tight areas.

I think the 70mill is a price City dont expect to get and, ideally, puts teams off buying him as Pep likes him a fair bit 

 

On 100k a week at City.

My guess with no rumours to back this up?

 

We offer City 45mill plus 5mill in add ons and the price, like with Palmer, goes up and negotiations move quickly, settling on 55mill plus 5mill.

 

The Caicedo 150,000k a week package for him on a 6 plus 1 year deal.

 

Assuming we are actually interested.

The Gastonedul bloke is fairly reliable on the agent side of Argentine footballers. We've likely inquired about him.

Is he a proven  finisher though? Doesn't seem to have a particularly impressive goal record anywhere he's played.

Fair. City do have a policy of if a player asks to leave they let him go, no matter who he is. So depends on if Alverez asks to leave.

I’d like us to go for Kelleher at Liverpool. He’s a very good keeper imo and better than what we have.

36 goals and 18 assists in 2 seasons whilst largely playing out of position or 2nd fiddle is a very good return. How he does in tight areas is my main appreciation of him. 
 

Lolololol Liverpool may very well be returning to their Benteke/Carroll era

Can confirm there is no interest in Olise from Liverpool. They are however looking at wide players and have had initial talks with Nottingham Forest regarding Hudson-Odoi.

City just beat us to the next Messi in Claudio Echeverri so maybe off loading to make room.  Although I think he’s like Paez in only joining City next summer.  
Have to say I like Alvarez, think he would do a lot better given a run and did alright when Haaland was injured.

Way too high. Looks to me like a guy whose figures are largely due to his surroundings.  Picking up pieces around Foden, Silva, de Bruyne, Doku is one thing, and even there he seems inconsistent,  but working with hit and miss players like Madueke and Mudryk I'm not so sure.

70m for this guy and it makes me feel like City redressing the balance for the value for money we got from Palmer.

Christ, how many next Messi's are there. I thought we'd just signed Messinho, the next Messi.

Knowing our luck the next Messi we'll end up with will be the next tax fraudster Messi or maybe the next growth hormone injection Messi.

Think he fits us like a glove personally. 

Alvarez.  Not sure he is a player that we need.  We have Nkunku. Alvarez is not the type of striker that we could use.  A second striker and/or attacking midfielder.  I mean he is a very decent player, no doubt. But he is short, only 5ft 7".  His goal scoring record is good. 20 goals in 67 games for Citeh.

£70 million for Julian.
£60 million to trigger Olise's release clause.

I thought we had FFP issues.

How tall was Aguero? Wouldn’t read too much into the numbers, he was playing out of position for most of the games. He has 7 goals in 13 games playing as a CF which is very decent considering he didn’t start most of these games. Fans keep forgetting he is still only 24 so way off his peak. I feel he is perfect
