He's a legit left back. Would have rather had Danilo, who has more leadership (and earns less disciplinary cards) and can create more going forward (including scoring goals). But he's more a RB and we wouldn't pay Real Madrid lunacy pricing anyway.

Sandro could be a starting LB for many years to come. So a good play. :tup:

(And no, Marcelo can't defend for $#@!e... don't see him as the same player.)

And we saw how badly Porto went to crap when they played Bayern in the CL with Danilo + Sandro vs. without them. :sergio:
Thanks ,good insight. Just wondering how come he doesn't get call up for the Brazil NT , i really don't rate Marcelo or Luis Felipe much. Marcelo is a talent going forward but horrible defender, meanwhile Luis Felipe couldn't even crack Azpi, a RB at Chelsea. And even when Marcelo got injured for the Copa, Dunga instead calls for Geferson. Any thoughts on that? @PedroFlu can help maybe?

Anyway we are overpaying for Alex since he has 1 year left only on his contract
Left backs are hard to get by these days, even Marotta once had interview on how difficult to find a good LB in the current market. When you look at the context of a LB, its not overpaying.

Not nearly as legendary as Frederik Sørensen vs. Samuel Eto'o when the former made less in a season than what the latter made in one match.

That 20M is obviously too much considering he's on his last year, but buying from Porto is hell and especially since there are only 2 weeks left.

If true, this signing is very good.
We could also negotiate it and see some EPL club wake up ;)

never seen him play but people say he's awesome, I've seen stats of him looking very good.

love these types of signings

good job paratici and beppe

now TREQ
You missed Porto - Bayern Munchen ?

Sandro and Danilo absolutely wrecked them. Both got suspended for the return and it made a huge difference

Laudisa knows NOTHING!

Portuguese media are Benfica wankers. Only mentioning Benfica getting Jorge Jesus in court for joining Sporting
:D
Laudisa tends to try to go opposite of GDM when GDM goes for a story, despite knowing nothing. That way people consider him right, when GDM's story doesnt deliver.


Been like this entire mercato tbh.

He's basically the best LB available in the world today, considering his quality + age.
Best fullback in serie a if he comes, and its not even close. FAR from close :D

I think it has been said before by... Swag? But yeah, the only downside to his game is his temper. Not exactly a madman but he might come up with some stupid shit that will get him booked easily. He's a mix of Peluso and Fernandinho.

Yeah, like owning the living shit out of bayern fucking munchen with his parner in crime danile, and then both get suspended for the return by incredibly idiotic unneccecary yellow cards, with porto losing the return, mostly because of their suspensions.

Didn't know he was gonna get so much love

Imagine, just imagine @Bianconero_Aus, if he makes a mistake that cost us a goal on his debut, much like Lúcio did. Tuz will show how easy love turns to hate in a second :lol:
