I remember some La Liga fans (the overly silly ones) thinking Dani Alves was better than Maicon. Usually, you don't hear Serie A fans saying the same thing.
I talked about both club and NT footie. And people do and should care about int'l footie. Peak Dani Alves was playing at the same level for Brazil.
You seem to have a hard time distinguishing between a player being one of the best of his generation (in his peak) vs the performance level of the same player when he's past his peak.
Here's an example: Pirlo was the best regista of his generation. Do you think Pirlo is still a WC player let alone one of the best registi in the world?
Dani Alves isn't as useless Pirlo is now of course, he's a good signing and with our fitness program we'll get two good years out of him (he should be even better than 2015 Evra, Evra was clearly worse in his last season at United), but you're being incredibly naive, fanboyish, and showing lack of footie knowledge thinking and arguing that we're signing the peak Dani Alves.
Not sure what you and Hist mean by "even Sevilla." He was as good in his late Sevilla years as he was in his early Barca years. You're talking about Dani Alves at his best when you say Sevilla.
I'm surprised it took you multiple posts to get that, and you still aren't sure.
I'm actually not surprised that you don't know that Dani Alves deteriorated, but I'm surprised that you're finding it really hard to believe that a 33 yo footballer is past his prime.
Answer to the silly, meant to be very difficult lol challenge:
2015-16:
- Mario Gaspar, Juanfran, and Carvajal from La Liga
- His countryman Fabinho (I can add two more names in Danilo and Bruno Peres but Fabinho easily. Danilo better with Brazil and Bruno Peres did very well with Torino, but Bruno Peres hasn't been tested at a big club.)
- The player Barca is trying to replace Dani Alves with: Bellerin
- Piszczek and Lahm from BuLi
- Aurier the Mentalist from Ligue 1
Those are the really easy picks.
lol at some people fapping nonstop thinking we're signing the Dani Alves at his peak.
It's a very good signing, a good Cuadrado replacement (less of a dribbler now but can assist better), and someone who'll bring his CL experience with him, but the truly nonstop fap occasion will be if we manage to sign Mascherano from Barca.

Double lol at Gaspar and Belerin
Triple lol at freakin Aurier being better than Alves
Maicon was a beast in this period, a unstoppable powerhouse running up and down the right flank. 
Where the fuck did i ever claim we're signing the peak Alves ? Please read posts more carefully.He's past his prime but he's still playing at an elite level,thats basically my point so he would defo be of good use.And there are some other posts with fap smiley just to rile some members up.Nothing more than that.
Go shove some of that arrogance elsewhere.

The ones you mentioned are not bad but Alves is better than most if not all of them...

Juventus can afford to make one expensive signing. As I have shown on my numerous financial posts, it is possible. We have been looking for a #10, and James is one of the best young number 10s in the world.
We save so much money through signing players on frees that we can afford to buy one big name player. Other teams buy multiple. Also, unlike a lot of the EPL teams that want James (united), we can offer the Champions League.
Ultimately, if he goes for 60 million euro, that is worth it, given his age. You could spend 30 or 40 for Cavani, but you get him for 3-4 years. You get James, an incredibly marketable player for a decade. It is a no brainer to make the investment.
