He is that combative ball winning defensive midfielder we need, moving Bruno back to the roaming playmaker role he thrived in last season.

The team is lacking a defensive minded midfielder that breaks up play. Far too easily do teams run through our midfield. Been the case since last December. We do well with Kante and/or Kovacic in the team but when they are both out our issues are apparent. Gilmour is off to Brighton and Chukwuemeka I'd imagine will be eased in.

OrangeKhrush Posted September 1, 2022 Author Posted September 1, 2022 we had a 35m bid rejected on the weekend so Chelsea would have to hit 45-50m to tempt them
Panna King Posted September 1, 2022 Posted September 1, 2022 Alvarez has refused to train this morning at Ajax, he wants Ajax to accept the bid from Chelsea.
Cicero Posted September 1, 2022 Posted September 1, 2022 Virtually know nothing about him. Screams panic buy. We had 3 months to bring in another midfielder.

He is a typical ball winning defensive midfielder, combative and scrappy. Marco Van Basten said he is to slow though, which is strange considering how well he did last season.
Cicero Posted September 1, 2022 Posted September 1, 2022 We've moved to Denis Zakaria as an alternative. Confirmed move. Loan with option. Probably the best we could realistically do this late in the window. Completely flopped at Juve so expecting a Saul 2.0 Going to be a long and frustrating season in midfield.
