Dani Alves: "Don't spread s**t, Higuain sent a video for me in a television programme... don't do your job badly, please." #Juventus #MCFC

Hmmmm...... maybe a runout without substance?

Tony Book, just saying

Mendy could learn a hell of a lot too, even though he's on the other side.


People always say Alves is the kind of modern Fullback who doesn't defend, but if you actually watch him he's an absolute master at defending spaces through positioning the way that Pep loves to, and he's better than anyone else at coming into the midfield to create numerical advantage there when needed.

God I hope this happens.

So we're replacing old fullbacks with...well an old fullback. Great.

Is he more mobile than Zaba and Sagna tho? Not gonna pretend I have seen much of him but appears so. Im all for it.

Agree with @domalino, he's a top fullback defensively and would have a major influence on our younger targets. He completely shut down Monaco over two legs in the CL and has been consistently unassailable through his professional career.
Throw in that he's Brazilian and you've got a soft landing for Ederson to work with. He's mates with Bravo too.

Hmmmm...... maybe a runout without substance?

The Higuain video is irrelevant to the discussion. Multiple, reliable, sources here and in Italy are confirming he wants to leave Juve and City are in on him.

 

[domalino]

You don't need to watch a team play to know they exist...it's the football equivalent of fake news

Oh and you've got a detailed knowledge of clubs in Brazil's second and third division?

Thought not.

 

[domalino]

Kyle Walkers comments about us are far mor damning by the way.

Dani Alves has already given his personal consent over a move to Manchester City. [@romeoagresti]

Great signing if we get him.

For those worried about age did you not see him last year in the Champions League he was outstanding.

Get him in.

Better than Kyle Walker by a mile.
