Julián Álvarez

Since Gavi is injured this guy has no competition for “the most overrated player” prize.

overrated to what exactly for both players.

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

These days every striker who doesnt score 50 goals per season is overrated

 

[JohnN]

As a world cup winner, he is not overrated. he is rated exactly as he should be.

 

[fergus90]

He’s not overrated be got bought for 30 odd million and for that price he’s a good investment.

One thing I don’t think suits him whatsoever is playing that CAM role, he loses the ball way too much. Needs a rest currently though and looks burnt out.

With a full strength squad at his disposal he’s probably a rotation player currently.

As coach of Argentina, I would choose Lautaro over him every day, without any doubt.

 

[Temptation]

I don't rate him. Wouldn't even think of exchanging him for Nunez. He's comically overrated on this forum because of his nationality.


He's perfect for the role he has in a full strength City squad.


He doesn't have the attributes to be a lone centre forward.


I see his future as either a squad player/rotational starter in big club or as a starter in a mid level club.


Good player no doubt. Not world class potential in any way, shape or form.

Overrated to what though?

Not sure what you are seeing, but he has a lot of attributes to be a great lone centre forward, scoring in a lot of big games and being versatile. Even if he doesn't score, his overall play and especially his pressing off the ball is a great asset.

Would I start him over Haaland? No, but Haaland is a monster and Alvarez would absolutely start in clubs like Arsenal, Spurs, Man United, Chelsea and etc.

In a full strength City squad his role is benchwarmer as it was seen last season.

He's better than that.

I'd say a rotational starter/squad player level. Kinda like Ferran is for Barca now.

I think a total benchwarmer would be harsh.....

He is not rated as a superstar like haaland that's why I say he is not overrated. he is a great supporting player and always turns up. in that respect reminds me if of Pedro. you need these players, because stacking superstar power like galacticos takes you nowhere

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

Nice chest/shoulder goal !

 

[Iniesta Ultra]

Weird, why didn't he stay standing and use his foot?

I'm not excited about Alvarez but shouldn't be compared to trash like ferret.

 

[FC B]

He doesn't play exactly on Ferran or Cardiphinha's position but I'd take him in a heartbeat over those two bums combined.
