Bruno Alves - CB - Zenit St Petersburg (12 Viewers)

[Xperd]

Or if we are so interested in getting a young-ish defender with potential we can have a look at Kyriakos Papdopoulos from Schalke..Beast in the making..Would be expensive but much cheaper than Hummels..

Schalke want Elia,so we could reduce the price if we are serious about him.

He dominated in air, but really bad with his feets and gave away many passes. Not a good match for our game, and his almost 31. Look elsewhere.

 

[Völler]

We should buy Daniel Agger!
Don't think he'll leave Liverpool though...
The problem with Agger is that he's injured too much. But he's one of the 10 best CB's when he's fit.

The chronic injured player? No thanks!

I also like Kyriakos. Not sure what offer Schalke would need but he's interesting enough.

 

[Nzoric]

i'd like him here

With out tactical setup he doesn't have to play any passes, just short passes to Pirlo. Defensively rock solid and sturdy, great threat on set pieces and vice-versa when we're defending against them. For backup, more than approved.

 

[Xperd]

During the whole game he gave the ball away. Conte type player? I don't think so.

Is he specifically on the lookout for a ball-playing CB ?

At this moment with Bonucci's great form and rapid growth our team calls for a backup ,this guy is more than decent for a backup.

 

[PedroFlu]

Yeah, he commited a mistake that almost led to Iniesta's goal in the beginning. He was too slow, 0 agility.

30 years, he looks older... I dont know, I'd go for someone else. Probably wont be that cheap.

 

[Brujitas]

Chiellini, Barza, Bonucci, Alves ? Come on , it would be more than enough, more than ok, dont be greedy. In fact, i couldnt see us buy another CB except for youngsters.
Could you imagine a line up with Licht, Caceres, Alves/Another Name of that caliber, Chiello, Barza, Bonucci , Paolo and possibly Isla lalso as a wing back?
There would be some serious whining on the bench if you ask me. I know we play frequenlty 3-5-2 and I know there is also CH L this year, but I seriously doubt that we ' ll get another CB.

If Conte wants Hummels(won't come apparently) then i think we'll go for a CB of that type. He'd still be ok for the bench but would he come here and risk losing his spot with Portugal? Doesn't he have high wages playing in Russia?

 

[Fake Melo]

He is on a little over €2 mill IIRC.

I would love him here. I don't think he risks losing his spot with Portugal, who knows he might get enough playing time with us.

 

[nemnem]

Hummels we can forget for sure, I think he even renewed his contract for 4-5 years and he is happy with his team and Klopp is a great coach. Dortmund is going to be a pain in the butt next CL.

 

[swag]

Yeah, but can he avoid hitting the post on PKs?

 

[Bianconero81]

No to Alves; he's slow and clumsy. I'd rather we go for someone younger, and with more potential.

Hummles is out of the question for now, but perhaps in 2 years...

 

[da_ledgeaun]

I would not mind him at all,was better than Pepe last night for me, came to the rescue on more than one occasion,unlucky to miss the penalty.

They just tested the water last year, they needed to mature. And now they also have Reus who is a great talent.

 

[Powis]

Before the match against Spain Alves had just one tackle in this tournament, that's pretty weak actually.

I thought Pepe was Portugals best player vs. Spain.

I think you're right. But Coentrao's defensive prowess came back to his near-WC-2010 form.
