No opinion on this guy either. Opinion seems divided on this guy, big time, from what I've read elsewhere. Some say he's a bonehead and shit, others say he's good.

I wonder...

I've Never really seen him Play... Between alex Lugano And rhudolfo where do you rate this guy
Pros: Deserved Portuguese league player of the year in 2008. A smart CB (won't pull Alex's boneheaded moves) who can be mobile as a DM. Generally decent, albeit not great, defending. Solid also for the Portuguese NT, which CR7 isn't even. Leadership qualities from the back.

Cons: Getting on a little in years. Can make irrational tackles a la Zebina at times -- could use a cooler head. And the old: "Portugal CB? Remember Andrade?" problem...

I'd say he's a legit improvement over Bonucci, for example, but the mystery is how he'd adjust to a club like Juve.

A friend of mine, Zenit big fan, told me that they really want Bonucci and they are ready to let Alves, go! He think Bonucci is wordclass because he is a "starter" for italy.

I don't think that non-Juve fans watch Juventus' games every week. He may have seen very few. Just like you guess for other team players and call them wordclass.
