Andrew 5123 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 I think hes perfect for us positionally. As wyki says, he sits at the base of the three with Joelinton and bruno more advanced. Weve seen Bruno playing further forward last season and how much he produces when he does, I think we lose out currently with him at the base and willock more advanced. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 22639 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Was listening to the wireless on the way home last night. It's the biggest transfer spend for a window in history. What cost of living crisis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 49560 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 He can do anywhere from 1cm to the length of the pitch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How’s his passing range I can't say I have seen him a lot, seen a few european games and I'm reading and looking at stats to see the details tbh. He has good passing completion and apparently prefers medium range passing to particularly short or long. What I'm reading makes him sound a lot like we were expecting from Bruno funnily enough when he was being described as this all action number 6. What we've got seems quite different now hes settled into our side. Differences between the two that I can make out is that Alvarez is more physical, doesn't have the same flair and is a busy intercepting/screening the back 4 sort of player who can pass well enough to break the lines. He almost sounds half Joelinton, half Bruno. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That he plays the ball well from behind and that he is quite aggressive when it comes to defending. Since Hayden's departure I think we don't have that specific defensive player profile, so I think signing him could be very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite agressive but his pressures are really low, I guess he's more about shielding the defense than rushing to close down, that's not an issue because Bruno and in particular Joelinton are very active in that regards.

One important detail must be taken into account. Ajax dominates and easily wins 25-30 games out of the 34 that their league has each season. And those who win, it is usually by landslide on many occasions. Of the 18 teams in the Netherlands, there are 13 or 14 that would not have the level to play in the Premier League and many of them not even in the Championship. And with Ajax's high-possession, high-pressing style of play, where they win the ball back in high situations, it's easy for Edson to have very shabby passing numbers, and his attributes on defense can hardly be seen.

Fair call, and being part of high tempo pressing play like that will bring good experience for what Howe is beginning to do here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
