Wasn’t called out but he’s a very effective destroyer although slightly limited in terms of his passing (which has improved recently tbf). Basically a rich man’s Hayden. I don’t think Ajax fans like him all that much, but he’d be great for us as we don’t have another midfielder like him (a pure defensive dm) currently.

HaydnNUFC Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Alvarez is literally the perfect midfielder for us, allows Bruno to operate further forward more often and prevents teams getting space between the lines. Really hope that one is true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Oh man would love a proper deep mid to free up Bruno from defensive duties and let Joelinton rampage forward what a mid that would be Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) How's Alvarez on the ball? I'm assuming he can ping it about? EDIT: Seen @McCormick's post Edited August 26, 2022 by Hanshithispantz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 I assumed Howe would want someone who can do the Shelvey role like, rather than just a destroyer, given how we play. He seems to have really good long ball accuracy but rarely hits it long (FBRed) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Yeah if we were to bring in a destroyer DM it would leave us a bit light on players who you really would fancy to pick out a pass. Would be a bit much on Bruno's plate, which is why the idea of a Maddison type appeals to me and leave Bruno deeper. He's not really a destroyer but he's sharp defensively IMO and Joe is the real physical presence in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Relaxed about any links from here on out. Pretty damn happy about the squad. One more who could play in either RW or CM would be groovy but don't mind if the club have decided that's enough for this window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mansour Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 We were linked (if true) with three different types of midfielders the past month. Maddison (offensive), Kone (central midfielder/ box to box), and Alvarez (defensive midfielder). It will be interesting to see what type we are going to end up with.
