Is it because journalists are desperate for them to be in the conversation to push on like we will next season? This seems like a distinctly paranoid take. Everyone gets linked with everyone, particularly those with money. That’s how this works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Man City's signing of Julian Alverez seems to have massively gone under the radar but he scored another 6 goals last night in a 8-1 River Plate win. All the talk is that he's one of the best talents in South America, 22 year old wide forward......15 goals in 19 appearances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cracking player, which is why Pep wants him at the club this summer for pre season. Might take some adapting to the physical side of the league, but if/when he does, he’ll be great.

Guest Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Do you think Alvarez will stay with City or maybe a loan for a season to someone like West Ham or Leicester in the group just below the top 6? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay with City and come in like Foden did. Really can’t see them loaning him. Edited May 26, 2022 by Manxst Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'll be a rotation option across the front three. Bedding him in slowly and eventually an option when they rest/rotate Haaland. I don't see him going anywhere on loan now.

brummie Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 re spending - if the money is there, try to improve. What other teams do won’t come into it, it’ll be about backing the manager. Our owners have got plenty of money and are doing exactly what you want from owners, making the funds available to improve the squad whilst at the same time growing the youth policy (Jacob Ramsey a great example). For all the money spent buying players in, the investment in youth is also there (building an inner city academy literally next door to the ground, also buying promising youth talent from other clubs for example). We’ve just sold a youth product for £100m after all, shows how important that side of things is as part of the bigger picture. regarding buying players, my take on it is that spending a lot of money on players does not guarantee success, but not spending pretty much guarantees failure Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one club who has messed up whilst ignoring countless examples of successful clubs who have done it by spending money.

The Prophet Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Got to admire Villa's ambition. I'm not sold on Carlos though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 The Sevilla fan on here absolutely loved Carlos and I could see why, despite some of the moments of occasional madness. I think that's a very good signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 He's a big imposing lad, but as when we were linked in January I'd worry about how rash he is, particularly with the faster pace of the PL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) Would've liked Carlos, but we need a younger squad anyway. Good deal for Leeds, he fits their style perfectly. Edited May 26, 2022 by Ameritoon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Coutinho, Kamara and Carlos is an excellent start to the window by Villa imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
