Dani Alves - RWB - Barcelona (8 Viewers)

[Zacheryah]

How long can a player like Alves continue though in a general sense? We all agree Licht is on the decline and he's a year younger. Are we of the opinion that Alves is a superior athlete? He's a superior player yes, but age is going to affect him too. I feel the same for Evra. I feel Evra has one year left in him at best.

Alves is a temporaty solution to assure quality , just like evra was when we had asa.

It allowed us to wait to spend untill sandro came, and we are doing the same om the other flank now.

We all agrees the depth wasent as reliable as we liked. So we make sure it is now.
Alves is short term fix, so we can invest elsewere this season and wait for an opportunity.

Typical Juve transfer. Beppe's doing it for half a decade now and it's proven successful. We get proven top quality for little or no money only if these guys are old-ish or deemed needless by their clubs (Pirlo, Tevez, Khedira, Evra). That allows us to invest more money on potential top players, who will fight the proven players for a spot in the starting XI (Asamoah, Dybala, Isla, Alex Sandro).
So far it works really well with the proven quality we buy on bosman or cheap, and we sometimes got it right, sometimes wrong when we paid top dollars for potentials.
We're not yet a club that can simply pay 30+ millions for every player in the starting XI, thus the above.

As for this particular case, we desperately need a RB. With Caceres' injuries we were a Licht injury away from huge problems. Even if Cuadrado stays, we'll need a new RB/RWB. If there is no Alex Sandro available for the RB position, then it's smart to get an Alves until an opportunity opens up next summer or later.

same was said about Pirlo look how he turned out.

Look Alves regardless of age is an excellent signing especially for free, he assisted more than any of our players in the CL this season, his transitional play is still fantastic and to be honest as much as I'm a Licht fan Alves is better going forward and has a better end product. In comparison to Cuadrado who I also am a fan of Alves is a better fit both to a 4 and 3 man defence, if I had to choose between the 2 on a free i'd still pick Alves over Cuadrado

Alves actually has technique and skill on the ball, something Licht can only dream about. Licht has his athleticism to back up his defensive skills and that's about it. Alves has that same athleticism and can actually contribute to the general play.

can't defend though. @CrimsonianKing

He will be fine defensively.

People bitched and moaned that Cuadrado couldn't defend and look what we made him do.

His one-two passing with players around him is insane. Very difficult to quarantine that kind of play.

Him next to Khedira and Dybala

Him next to Khedira and Dybala

I'm more excited to see him surging forward linking up with Dybala. Pfft...who needs a midfield at that point.


Imagine slotting in Mascherano there though

Neto
Alves-Barzagli-Evra
Khedira-Marchisio-Pogba​

All for a million.

I bet Pereyra can't wait to get some fashion tips from him.

Man, you're always negative these days. What the fuck happened to you?

Well Evra has been great and he is older then Dani Alves and not as good. And look at how good Cafu and Maldini were for Milan at an older age.

I think Alves will be amazing and if we play him in 352, with three CB he will have less defensive responsibility. He will be one of our most important players I feel and will be allowed to be a bigger protagonist then he is at Barca given how much attacking talent they have.

Something people dont understand. U can lose your speed and athleticism, but not technique, vision.

Our vicecaptain expressing the respect and admiration they have for Alves, makes sure that the only ones to complain about his 5mil salary, are some people on tuz.

The guy won 35trophee's (seriously wtf, 35), sever CL's, and we all heard how Evra was beeing a big influence on the dressing room.

This guy has been THE worldclass RB for so many years, and a winner.


Huge statement he'd come here, and the players are happy about it.


I personalt find this testament to how far we came. A guy from Barcelona who wants a last stint at a top club, that wants to come here.

Also, there were some doubts about Evra's character too, with everything that happened with Suárez and the French NT, but he has proven to be a leader and a winner; just like Alves.

please don't compare uncle Pat with a clown like Alves.

The best right back in the game hands down, for like 10 years now.

Always dreamed of seeing him play for Juve, he's a very welcome addition maybe a few years too late but Barca wasn't letting go of him because they knew he's the best. And on a Bosman too.
