Those who matter at our team?

I think having Evra as a mentor couldn't be a better way for him to make a step up in his career.

I've never seen him play before, but for that reported sum, I'd expect a world class full back. Roberto Carlos, Maicon, Cafu... etc

I better not wake up tomorrow and read Man. Shitty made a last minute deal that fucked us up in the ass. You hear me GDM? I will go nuts!!! Now Beppe send them faxes FFS!

Those are extinct, bro. But for today's standard we're getting someone talented enough.

8 off them

From the group stages i watched juventus game one day, and porto the other. I missed one game that was on a tuesday, dont recall wich one but they won it.
From the knockouts i watched both bayern games , and the first game versus basel, again, the return was on a tuesday.


I got interested in the Portugese league, after doing 8 leagues in FM2015 with Sousense

Why are fullbacks so criminally undervalued by people these days ?

20 mil for a fullback "demands world class", but if its any other position, its "filler"

Because historically fullbacks were always and still are much cheaper than say midfielders or forwards of the same caliber.

I've seen a show on BeIN once where a lot of respected footballers, coaches and pundits voted on the least important role on the pitch. Guess what, it was fullback.

In 2001, Thuram cost 40mil and was considered a rightback at the time.


Defenders in general are lower value'd. And plenty of teams that value good defenders, get them from within the league. Nowadays good fullbacks are extremely rare. If they are remotely good at going forward, they cant defend like shit.



Meanwhile, when we look back at Maldini's days, we saw several fullbacks in serie a alone, that had technique and tricks one only associates with creative players these days, but beeing hard as balls in defence.


Madrid made a mistake. While both Danilo and Sandro are excellent players, i'd prefer Sandro.

Why are people complaining about he transfer fee? Is it your money?

Thuram was WORLD CLASS and could also play as a centerback which is always a plus. Definitely deserved a big sum of money, even though 40m was excessive and only the result of too much cash after the Zidane sale.

My point is, if this Sandro dude has the potential to be world class, then it's an excellent deal.

We obviously cant be happy at signing a worldclass leftback, top 3 in his position, defensively speaking probably the best there is.


Cause we paid 20 mil.
