Ricardo Alvarez

I have seen quite a few news sites over the last couple of days linking us with a move for this guy. Some state that it he is an £8 million purchase while others say that Inter want Sandro in return.

26 years old, midfielder. Looks like a more creative version of Dembele, by which I mean he is fairly big and is a good dribbler. Do our Italian football experts have much to say about this guy?

He has failed to impress whenever I watch him and I watch ALOT of Italian football, probably more than I watch the Premier League. But if we end up signing him, I will back him. It's a different league, some people have impressed over here who haven't impressed in other leagues and with him being an Argentine, I imagine Poch will know him a lot more than all of us, Baldini too considering his Italian links.

No thanks

Has really struggled to make a mark in Italy apparently - too slow for out wide and is easily overpowered in the middle: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1349841-inter-milan-whats-the-problem-with-ricardo-alvarez

Would reserve judgement but wouldn't be excited by this signing, suspect it is lazy journalism too, because we have an Argentinian manager now of course he will look to sign XI Argentinians

We've been linked with him numerous times.

The thing is that if the rumour originates from Italy, then it is likely cobbled together as a result of Inter wanting Sandro.
