Bruno Alves - CB - Zenit St Petersburg (98 Viewers)
- Thread starter Nicholas
- Start date
It would be absolutely perfect for Freddy to remain as one of ourback up CBs, with the highly experienced Alvez, Chiellini and Barzagli to learn from, and finally at least one decent RB and two competent LBs to allow the youngster to deputise in his natural position, rather than as cb/rb combined...
First of all changing Chiellini main role to LB is retarded
Its like taking Zambrotta (back then) from a LB and let him mainly play LW or RW
While Chiellini is a great CB he is not even remotely close to great playing LB therefore we lose a great CB and gain an ok LB
Lugano and Alves are good players but are not great (saying this based on comments here) therefore we gain nothing by putting both as our starting CBs
Also it is quite a risk putting 2 new CBs in the starting 11 especially when there is no much time left for them to adjust.
If you look at it this way you gain 2 good (not great) CBs and 1 ok LB while losing a great CB
I rather buy 1 of those two and get a great LB which would give us 2 great and 1 good players which is a way better scenario
Anyway you look at it changing Chiellini`s main role to a LB is retarded
(I`m not saying he shouldnt play a single game as a LB. I`m saying that shouldnt be his main role)
As for Alves- It seems like it could be a done deal but we wait to see if we could get someone else otherwise why should it be postponed?!

ive seen alves put in right back position on occasions whilst at porto he did well, we could experiment as. Chiellini is perfect cb but his competent lb. if an alves and lugano partnership works out then theres nothing wrong with moving chiellini on left. Obviously not all the time but ive never been so excited about our defence ina long time. bruno and lugano would be great. sorenson can learn shitloads under these defenders and lets face it injuries are inevitable so we will have good cover. barzagli can play in coppa.all the time but ive never been so excited about our defence ina long time. bruno and lugs would be great. sorenson can learn shitloads under these defenders and lets face it injuries are inevitable so we will have good cover. barzagli can play in coppa.works out then theres nothing wrong with moving chiellini on left.
