Wes Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 54 minutes ago, Jareth said: Is it now easier to pick up non EU talent cos Brexit or something? Specifically South American players at top tier clubs there. The primary reason being that the Copa Libertadores is now given the same weighting, points-wise, as the Champions League. So if you have a South American target playing regularly at a club in this competition, especially if they're in Brazil or Argentina, they will now almost always automatically qualify for a work-permit. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks good on his youtube reel but then I would probably look good on mine - if I had one!! He looks a cool customer and more able to carry a ball than the likes of AEG.

nnock1984 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 That Alvarez fella looks more like he will turn into a striker for me - back-up to Watkins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made In Aston Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 (edited) 50 minutes ago, Wes said: Here's a post I made in this very thread Three Weeks Ago, on the 3rd of June, where I said to look out for Julian Alvarez and the reasons why: So naturally I would love this to be true. Would be the kind of emerging signing that we should absolutely be after. He must be a bit of a late developer as by the age of 21 you would expect a top young player to be getting regular game. This lad has 6 starts and 6sub appearances in the last two seasons. Grealish had played over 40 top flight games and a full season with Notts county by that point. Not saying he won't develop into something good, just that it is less likely. Edited June 21, 2021 by Made In Aston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has appeared 69 times (41 starts) according to Transfermarkt and has a cap for Argentina. In that time he has 16 goals and 17 assists. https://www.transfermarkt.com/julian-alvarez/leistungsdaten/spieler/576024/plus/1?saison=ges Edited June 21, 2021 by dont_do_it_doug. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Argentinian league was also suspended for half a year or something like that due to Covid so number of games will be effected by that. They cut the league short just like they did in France last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 (edited) So is he a winger, striker, or both? Article is a bit confusing. If he can do both, obviously brilliant, and just adds to our capability to run defenses ragged with varied attacking approach.

All I know is Villa won the Champions League with him at RW in Football Manager so he's a good one to get. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
