Alex Sandro (146 Viewers)

Don't know about the Brazilian league part but I agree with everything else. He lost it after the Chelsea moved dropped.

Ahahhaa he would have never made it in EPL. He only had money on his mind when he thought about going to Chelsea. Will probably injure his eyebrow in the first game and get fat paychecks while hanging out with the doctors.

Seriously, there is a reason why lolzilians have not been producing great long lasting footballers. Just a bunch of fancy namehos who could dance samba with balls waiting to move to China to buy a casino.

Selling him and trying to replace him under current circumstances would only lead to additional holes and lack of balance in our squad as we'd hardly be able to actually upgrade that LB position.

When i say circumstances i am referring both to the fact it's still an pandemic out there with so many uncertainties and with a short time-frame to actually maximize profits or to get an better replacement, whereas if we take our time to look from a different perspective at it while leaving all that i've said above aside, then i'd say let's just not forget how we've previously handled replacing our RB's or our CM's for the past few years, it doesn't take much to realise just how much of a hustle would be to turn Alex Sandro into one of the main culprits and to have him replaced now when mostly everyone (aside from a few) clearly understand that this guy is one of the lesser pressing issues we are currently facing to the squad.

We should not sell him. We should only bring in a competitor to his position

But we are even looking to sell the guy we had lined up to do that...that's crazy to me.

Great Fullbacks are the water in the desert in today’s football. Extremely hard to find, a dying breed almost.

Yes, he has been playing nonstop and looks tired. Yes, he’s nowhere near what he used to be. Yes, he barely makes any runs down the wings and will mostly be in a static position when receiving the ball. He’s been having to compensate for an inefficient midfield. He doesn’t have a player as intelligent as Pogba to link up to on the left. And maybe he’s been dealing with injuries all this time, etc.

All y’alls points are good, we need another fullback but not to replace him to maybe add a little competition and bring the best out of him again.

Except @Hustini ’s. He just want us to dive deeper into a bigger hole replacing the guy with the De Sciglios of the world.

Our fullback situation (both sides) is a joke right now so selling him would make it a much more hurtful joke. He shouldn't be sold unless there is a viable starter who is going to ink a deal with us.

Our U-23s really ought to have something better. Sandro has already retired.

I’m in favor of trying anything but selling the guy unless we have solid tried and proven replacements. Never really understood why we never give our youngsters a chance. Most are probably not good enough but there might be the one kid whose progress is brought to a halt when he’s forced to go to a bottom-of-table/lower division sides to play next to shitty players. Or maybe we just can’t produce anything worth mentioning.

Sandro is replaceable. Don't blame me, blame the guy that checked out mentally when his move to EPL fell through.

We might need to sell him to get the money to buy someone.

Even when we had a healthy backup over the last couple years he still underperformed. So its a toss up for you guys between needing competition & being overplayed...but even when those were NOT the case, he still blew hot and cold.

Because literally everything Tici has been doing feels random and without a thought plan. So I am not surprised anymore.

That's what you're not getting. Nobody is happy with his performances in the last couple years. In truth he is disappointing quite a lot. But what everybody is saying is we can't simply sell our best fullback and take a chance with some nobody (Especially since good fullbacks are hard to find).

Otherwise as stated by many here there will be another hole and we have enough holes in other areas of the pitch right now. We need a transition year where he's still part of the squad but will be fighting for a starting spot. If the new guy proves he can do better and this guy doesn't show any progress we let him go.

I get it. By me hoping to sell him, it should be inferred by most reasonable people that it would be because we have someone else coming in. When did I ever suggest selling without ensuring depth is maintained? I haven't. He should be sold. Use the money wisely and if Pellegrini is coming then we can look to find someone else to replace MDS.

Two LBs, Sandro not one of them. How many years is this massive club going to give to inconsistent players hoping they improve? He had someone as a backup every year he has been here and the ONLY time he has been consistent was his first year and a half here. So if this year he sucks its because he is being over played and/or coming back from injury, what was the excuse when he had a reasonable backup LB to give him competition and yet he still was inconsistent?

Maybe he has lost his hunger to win after being part of a winning team for so long. Maybe a change would do him well, I don't know what other reason to explain his massive inconsistencie other than that's the best we are going to get from him. Maybe that's the kind of player he is.

Quote this and remind me next year if he proves me wrong, I will say I was wrong if he is still here.

Lolzilianism at its best with this guy

 

[rainhard]

What do you think if we can get Renan Lodi as his replacement ? Yes or no ?

Will be very hard. He has a contract until 2025.

I read on reddit he has 44m release clause. Been searching but cannot find in official site stated his exact release clause
I think if the number is true, this move will be like Pjanic <> Arthur swap in our LB department

Or we probably can enter Reguilon race too

Our U-23s really ought to have something better. Sandro has already retired.

When have our minors produced reliable first team starters we can plug in?

When it comes to build vs buy this club is the latter

I seen around 6-7 games this season, putting in occasional good cross to get assist in attacking width side is not all thats required from an LB. I'm not sure what you are seeing, but I dont see much of a talent when I seen him, young and raw, but his abilities dont exactly scream come and start for Juve, the opposite, seems rather limited. It would be significant downgrade to sell Sandro and have him as starter as it is currently. It is one thing to want to replace Sandro, but if you are aiming this low with replacements (Pellegrini or likes of Emerson), then its no point doing it. Only LB in Serie A I would wanna replace Sandro with is Theo Hernandez. Or Gosens if he counts as LB and not LWB.

Same for me. People who are screaming that Pellegrini has to start next season are people who haven’t seen him playing. He’s nice but no starter material yet. I hope that he gets a chance at us, as I like to have some more Italians and I’m hoping that he’ll be the left back for the Italian team in the future, but right now I’m not sure if he’s staying. In the attacking phase he’s good enough as he has a nice cross and he runs a lot at the left side, but defensively he should grow and mainly his positioning is far from great.

Sandro is the perfect example of a player who’s been used to much. Second year in a row without a replacement, last year Spina was injured and this year we don’t have anyone. I agree that he’s been average on a lot of occasions, but besides those few mistakes he’s been a very reliable player in our defense. His weakest part is defending set pieces imo.

I disliked this match a lot of Pellegrini. First a horrible cross and Berardi who scored on the counter, and afterwards rookie anticipation giving Sassuolo the second goal:

This one was better tho:

I just came from the future to rant about his shitty performance against Lyon. Sell ASAP
