Wes Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Just following up on my earlier comment... River Plate lost 1-0 at home in the first leg of their Cope Libertadores Quarter Final. The second leg is next Tuesday. Alvarez getting a lot of plaudits as being one of the best players on the pitch and he played the full 90 minutes. I'm still hopeful there's truth to this one. As I said before it might be a last week of the window deal, with him travelling across during the International Break (unless he's called up of course) or set for a move in January. He's not going to stay in South America for long that's for sure. He's too talented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately Wez as much as I'd love Tammy to still come to us or Alvarez, were prob done in the striker department now after Ings. I think if we're going to bring someone in,it would most likely be midfield where I now feel we most need one or two players who specialise in certain areas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 There was something in this...hopefully there still is. Milan were very interested as well. Their recruitment has been incredible since they went down the data route as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weren’t we meant to in for Leao when they signed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather be looking in the same market for players Milan, Atalanta, RB Leipzig are shopping in than say Everton or Arsenal are shopping 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Well... I'd be surprised if we sign him now. He'll be heading straight to a champions league club with the season he's having, the lad has blown up. If it was us deliberating over money we got it wrong I think. A gaff. Fingers crossed something was agreed and put off until next summer...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Yes, it seemed like this move was all but dusted...maybe he decided he wanted to stay close to home, at least for another year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaFaninLondon Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I really wanted Alvarez in the summer and I’m not sure why we didn’t get it over the line, he has a buyout clause of around £20m in his contract but we decided not to activate it. I’m still hopeful that Buendia will come good, you can see technically he has it, but Alvarez for almost half the price who is younger, already has 4 caps for Argentina, and is more versatile probably would have been a smarter move. Although I think we could have bought both. Ideally we could still buy Alvarez in January but there will undoubtedly be more competition now.

villa4europe Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 we would have used him given our injuries too long term el ghazi / trez replacement, he would have been a great signing for the money touted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I wonder if the lure of massive wages could tempt this guy to Newcastle? Hopefully, Newcastle will go after Premier League experience first, but you never know. Would like to think with agent Martinez and Buendia, they’ll give Deano the lowdown of how good this guy is though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted October 22, 2021 Moderator Share Posted October 22, 2021 I think I’ve posted this before, I’ve a friend who is Argentinian and a former professional player turned agent. Spoke to him a lot about Buendia who he doesn’t particularly rate which concerns me, but he reckons this lad is a superstar of tomorrow and will be the Argentinian number 9. If we were interested I suspect we have missed our opportunity, he will be at a top club before long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
