It's always easy to say in hindsight.

Yeah, but people that are smartasses about players they never saw :einstein:

To be fair, in my mind, Alvarez is an overachiever, while people like Guarin are underachievers.

Could you elaborate on why you think Alvarez is an overachiever? It's not like he's playing with one leg. Just curious on your reasoning, and why is Guarin underachieving? Hope it's not because of his sick 5 min Youtube videos while in Porto.

It's exactly that: Alvarez is playing with one leg, his left.

His overuse of the left leg is kinda too obvious. I am baffled that a player like him became our main player at certain point. His decision making is too slow to be an AM, there was a lot from him to be desired when he played on the wing and he had to play as a CM because our midfield was retarded (and we played 352). Never really liked him, some of his runs/dribbles brought us goals, but he wasn't a player to rely on.

Now with Guarin it's different. Guarin has everything to be a great player (excluding brains)....but for the most part, he isn't.

Alvarez must be thrilled with the situation!

Inter: He's yours.
Sunderland: No, he's yours.

Sad how things turned out for him, some people actually thought of him as a left-footed Kaka!

I remember talking with an Argie Journo the summer we bought Alvarez... he was convinced that Alvarez is the second coming of Riquelme, a director in the midfield! :yao:

If you saw him play for Velez he was very good there, much better than Lamela production wise. I preferred Lamela because he was younger and I thought he had more natural ability but it wasn't farfetched to think Alvarez was better.

Sometimes shit happens. Edu Vargas was magnificent for U de Chile and the National team but has failed to stick at any club yet.

How fucking long does FIFA need to take a decision on a contract? Fuck FIFA!

I feel for poor Ricky. I hope he sues the shit out of Sunderland once FIFA takes a decision.

Reports saying that he's close to signing for Club America.

I'm glad he's found a club, and at least it's a top side (in America) so that might give him a boost of confidence.

club america is in mexico, not the US.

Yeah I was going to say South America but that's technically not correct and was then going to say Latin America but that would exclude Brazil so I was trying to refer to both North and South America.

Latin America does not exclude Brazil cause their language is derided from Latin as well. Hispanic America (literally Spanish speaking America) does.

But I got you from the beginning. America is the whole fucking continent not just the US.

I think that if he stays fit he can be good here, so I hope he comes. :)

When you say "here" at an Inter forum, please be specific. My heart literally suffered palpitations before I realised what you were actually saying.
