Peps a fucking moron for not getting the best out of Alvarez -
It’s a disgrace he was allowed to be sold - a disgrace.

Alvarez's home brace were his 15th and 16th goals for the club since his summer move from English champions Manchester City, and the Argentine star has scored an impressive six in the Champions League alone.
The 24-year-old also has 18 goal involvements across his 13 Champions League starts across his time at both of the European giants.

Agree. I was a big fan of this lad. That said, I don't think he settled in Mcr. We got good money for him so it worked out well for both. Be interesting to see IF we get this Egyptian kid whether we have the same issues in playing him with Haaland. Add Bobb to the mix and that's not a bad set of options with Savinho

He definitely asked to go, no problem with that. Just wonder if it was game time and position or purely personal. Great player and will do well in spain. Good luck to him

Alvarez definitely didn’t leave because of game time! He started 31 Prem games for us last season. He had his head turned by Atletico - they have Argie players and manager so would have been easy. The guy will go there and win nothing, we got good money for him, everyone’s a winner.

Correct

He's also scored 6 in 20 La Liga games this season so he's hardly flying.
He scored 20 PL goals in 67 games for us over 2 seasons so his ratio is pretty standard. Just less than 1 in 3.

He didn’t play one match for us as a “winger” mate. He played up front for most of last season, Haaland was out for months. When Haaland played Alvarez played just off Haaland and it fucked up our structure.
