Meh, that's why until he has a contract with the first team can't even be bothered to watch this guy.

So, he's the first Catalan unofficial citizen to win POTS in La Liga?

One thing's for sure, we must sign in defense. And if Gvardiol or names like that won't be able to be signed, the club must have viable alternatives. It can't be like, oh we tried to get Gvardiol and Bastoni but their clubs wouldn't let them go, so we are left with Gerard Martin and Araujo. This...

130m :lol:

We don't leave him as an option. We continue to see him as no1 option for no9, and we move on securing other positions. You just don't lock the money for Alvarez. If you can only afford Alvarez without any improvements in defense, then it's a problem and we shouldn't even have this discussion...

And Mbappe outscored everyone, both in Spain and in Europe. What's the point if you don't do much outside of that? Any player is a risk at 100-120m. Alvarez included. But Osimhen is wild risk, older, didn't even play in a top league, a nutcase who could blow up in our face. Totally a wild bet...

Dembele won't last long. Alvarez is younger.

I have the CL stats in front of me. Osimhen ran 72.46 kms in a total of 841 mins played. Alvarez put in 149.98 in a total of 1240 mins played. Calculated per 90 mins played, Alvarez clocks at 10.88km per game. Osimhen at a mere 7.75km per game. Based on the effort put in per game, Alvarez is a...

If we don't get Alvarez, I can see PSG splashing big on him. Easily.

We have multiple scoring outlets in the team. I read some stat that we have the most different scorers. And with 6 players in double digits. We don't need someone to hit 30-35 goals and slack off pressing and workrate. It's the opposite of what we need. There's a huge risk with nut jobs like...

Who the fuck cares about his individual stats if you win as a team. Does somebody care Kvaratshkelia and Dembele scored a combined 11 goals last season in France? It's all about CL. That's where you make a difference for 120m.

He doesn't. He played 9 with Argentina.

We have that tactical setup already in place. This reminds when Roberto Firminho was starting for Liverpool under Klopp. It worked because of the same reasons. And I'd say Alvarez is better than Firminho.

The fact that he is not a clear box attacker is also helpful for valuable things like pressing, passing ability, ball recoveries, and so on. Alvarez has 10 goals in CL this season btw. One of the best scorers. Tied on 3rd place. But other factors also appear. He has 34 ball recoveries. Kane...

That's right, and if you take important scalps in CL, you usually win the competition. There's no big names around atm apart from 2-3 sides at best. Is City a big name? This Madrid trashed them twice in back to back seasons. Most of the bigger sides have problems themselves. It's a funny period...

At Barcelona he won't be asked to drop this much 90% of the time. That's the biggest problem with how Simeone and AM are using him. They put in midfielders with defensive mindset, and ask a lot from Greizmann and Alvarez to sort it out on the offense. That's not how we do it. We will use him...

They're not a bad team, just a team that is using Alvarez as a do all in terms of offense. He is asked to do far more than just focus on scoring goals. Look at his heatmap.

Meh... I bet the worst driver on the F1 grid would finish above Verstappen if he had the best car and Verstappen would drive a Haas. Unfortunately, the only way you check Alvarez output at Barcelona is after you sign him and pay the fee.

Stay away from this dude.

So, simping for sides like Bayern who barely drew at home vs Celtic with a goal in min 94 to stop an extra time last season, while saying oh how mediocre Barcelona were under Flick in CL is pure bullshit.
