MWARLEY2 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Lets get him in . He can play as a non playmaking no 10 and then Emi 2 and Jack can do the wing and playmaking roles between them leaving Alvarez to score 30 goals assisted equally by Jack and Emi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a single mention of Aston Villa in the Alvarez thread so far this summer. Plenty of debate with regards to whether or not he should have been in the Argentina squad for Copa America or Buendia... TBH, it looks like they were divided on that front. And we could potentially line up with both of them. The forums of the mighty River Plate talking about 3 Villa players…let that sink in.

Get your cash in Ollie to be top scorer now! Not sure if that was said in jest or not, and I’m not sure I’d be staking too much money on that bet, but highest scoring Englishman is something I definitely wouldn’t bet against. Especially if Kane remains at Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penalties are definitely something he should be working on, I’m sure he is. It’s probably a confidence thing, if he can settle with a technique and a routine that he’s confident with and can bang one in, hopefully that will get him going. He’s probably going to be on the pitch for the majority of games, all being well, so we could do with him being our penalty taker. Hope Alvarez joins us too.

PaulMcGrath_5 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 If he signs would this mean we are still in the market for a number 10? Or is it a case of Jack, Buendia and Alvarez all switching at different times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
