We should defo be in for this guy. Does it all in midfield
Edson Alvarez
- Thread starter Nobby style
- Start date
Considering he played for ETH and the Dutch league it should be a priority signing.
I was impressed with him on and off the ball today. Good player!
Upgrade on Rice for sure.
Brilliant player. I remember Ajax fans saying he wasn’t good on the ball.
He’s been very good on and off the ball in the PL.

But… we went for Mount 
This signing made so much more sense.

Mount is a 10/8, Alvarez is a pure 6.But… we went for Mount

Exactly. Mount was a player we absolutely didn't need. Whereas Alvarez is a player type we absolutely did. If Casemiro is out for a significant amount of time we have no backup. We could make a five a side team of 8/10s. Mount was a ridiculous waste of money when our FFP position was so tight.
He was good today for sure
Amrabat was supposed to be that backup. Thankfully Mainoo has emerged as a more than competent 6 as well.
I agree with your overall point on Mount though. I was happy to sign him but not for 60 fecking million.
Yeah he looked impressive. Broke out of our press on multiple occasions with very good footwork.
seen him play a ton for Mexico....always quality on the ball and would be a really good partner for Kobe
Our chance to get him has sailed. West Ham will only sell him for silly money
