Ricardo Alvarez

[Raul Duke]

What gets to me is that 90% of the fans were asking for:

• A young talented midfielder
• Someone other than Sneijder who's able to provide some creativity
• Someone able to dribble
• Someone able to pass & take risks

...you got him!

With inexperience comes inconsistency, with inconsistency+risk-taking comes disaster. Either have patience with him or stop demanding a young creative midfielder.

 

[Suneet]

He's not someone who's done 1 good season in Bundesliga or French League or Spanish League and hasnt cost 40m and doesnt have enough youtube videos. blivious:

You forgot the last one:
QUICK and 2-way CM (aka faster, better, more consistent Motta)

 

[cloudq]

you forgot one thing:
- his name is cesc fabregas

 

[Uncommon]

I believe it is little to early ta call in flop/Mancini vol. 2...first season with us, first season in Italy overall...,Gasperini plays him in wrong position..., our whole team sucks), our manager is not the sharpest pencil in the box...he has not even got a real chance to prove him self..

 

[Ziyad]

I agree too early to judge plus too inconsistent still in a new league.

tribalfootball is all bs like goal.com right?

With great power, comes great responsibility.

Also, I would have hoped for someone who could actually run slightly fast.

When we bought Alvarez I just assumed he was going to be the right sided forward in a 343. Turns out he can't play anywhere near the sides of the pitch or he'll get scared of falling off and play like crap.

 

[Raul Duke]

Yea, I thought we were signing a Robben style player too. Though I'm not disappointed that he's a more central player, wingers are easier to come by these days. And yea, I thought he would have more pace

How could you miss my Spiderman reference? :yuno:

anyone else think coutinho should get opportunities ahead of alvarez?

ME, dont get me wrong I love Riki, but Coutinho is my fav player!!!

 

[Suneet]

Coutinho is not a trequarterista, if we learnt anything about him that is it. He is more of a player closer to Zarate, he doesnt have the off the ball movemnt to play as a 10. He needs to be coming in from the wings as a SS, that is where he will play well. The closer he plays to the box, the better he will become.

 

[Batman]

Exactly, I think he plays better in the wings in the 4-2-3-1 formation..

 

[NeonBlade]

Ok I know I shitted on Ricky alot, but what the fuck is going on? That he can't even make a sub appearance much less the bench. Is he so lost even in the eyes of Baresi?

 

[Choppin Onions]

He was on the bench according to the match report. He seems out of favor at the moment which is a shame because I really think he could flourish in central midfield if given an extended chance.

And its not like we have Fabregas who's starting ahead of him or something.

I think this okerface: sums up my feelings about him.
