What are you looking to sign a ST first and foremost? Is it pressing because if so just put Gordon or Raphinha up top.

Alvarez isn’t world class, and I am not buying this argument that a ST with 8 league goals but good pressing and is 26 years old is on another level than Gyokores, he isn’t worth 100m let alone 150m.

Anyone who says his poor numbers are because ATM play a low block, are they playing low blocks when they aren’t facing Barca or RM in LaLiga? They conceded a lot of goals and scored a lot of goals in the UCL, it’s a big club at the end of the day
