What a signing that would be.

And why shouldn’t we go for him? “Ohh we can’t go for one of City’s players no way would they entertain us.”

Bollocks. City have shown previously if you stump up the cash they’re more than happy to do business with a PL club.
Spot on, my man.

Even if they said 70-80 mil - I reckon that's his market value - we got the dosh...and some.

Also, Romero would have a volcanorgasm seeing his Argie pal come to the Lane.

But...I personally reckon he's off to Barca. They need their statement signing after Real got Mbappe. Lewa is getting old, they don't trust Ferran that much...and perhaps Pep will be back at the helm after next season. Yeah but Barca have no cash, no? Bollocks! That mafia of a club always finds a new stash of cash.

If it ain't Barca, it'll be Bayern...maybe a kinda part exchange with Musiala.

70-80m for a player that’s scored 11 goals last season and 9 the season before.

It’s probably his market value but I’d rather we spent that kind of money on foreards that will score us a shit load of goals. Alvarez is a very wasteful finisher. Every time I watched him last season he missed chances

100%.

The obstacles we would have luring him would be:
- stumping up the fee to show City we’re serious.
- stumping up the wages to Show Alvarez we’re serious.
- having the pulling power to convince him to join. Our fall off in recent years would hurt us, and no disrespect to Ange but I don’t think he’d have the respect yet that even someone like Pochettino would have in this situation.

He’s the type of player we should be all over if he is indeed available. But unfortunately, I reckon the likes of Toney and Gimenez are much more likely shouts…

very good presser up front but would prefer a gyokeres for that

who has a bigger build

There's more to a forward than just scoring goals. Alvarez works hard, he presses, tackles chases lost causes. And he creates chances for others with his activity.

Also, give that kid a starting spot week in week out, have players round him like peak Bentancur & Madders...and I betcha he bags 20-25 in all comps.

Was always gonna be tough for him at City when you see who else they got up front.

19 goals and 13 assists in all competitions last season, many of which were in games where he was playing on the wing to accommodate Haaland, are pretty good stats mate.

He would absolutely explode if he joined a team where he was the main man up top IMO.
 
The Gallagher one is interesting, Chelsea currently have 3.5 weeks to sell some homegrown players so unless they manage to sell Broja, Chalobah, Maatsen anytime soon this 'we demand £50m' is a massive bluff. Factor in the Euro's as well. All clubs wanting those players need to make them sweat.

They got £30m for Hall from Newcastle too don’t forget. Plus Dortmund would have to pay similar for Maatsen. There’s definitely a world where they don’t have to sell him and can tie him down to a huge contract. Then sell him for much more next summer when they will also need to raise funds for PSR.

You’d be happy with him as our CF signing?
