They've already bought Silvinho who can play in Alverez's position.

I think that most players would jump at the chance of going Citeh but i think they'll be a tad cautious at the moment as they could be playing in the C'ship or lower next season if some of the experts are to be believed.

Although alverez is a pretty versatile forward and pep doesnt seem that keen on a traditional no9, he was used pretty much as back up for haaland, if they were replacing alverez, I'd think it would be with someone who plays further forward than eze and could play no9.

If he went to City the same thing that would happen to him that has happened to Grealish. As brilliant as Pep is, I'm not sure his tactics really allow for instinctive players like that to do what makes them special.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold...
