Dani Alves

My money is on Homar being the same person as Conormcfc...

Na, homar is funny (:

That's just a list of (admittedly great) right backs.

Did any of them ever put together a single season worthy of that Maicon year? The last 3 certainly not imo, maybe Lahm in Bayern's treble year? I'm not old enough to tell you about how good Maldini was in each of those seasons but I've seen enough of Maldini as a full back to know that his all round game (going forward as well as defending) wasn't as good as Maicon's. That's not to say Maicon was better than Maldini cos that's absolute bollocks but I haven't seen anything to suggest a better individual season than that one. Everything Maicon did that year was exceptional.

Maldini's game at full back wasn't as good as Maicon's. I've literally heard it all now.

 

[SWP's back]

Where? Words in my mouth again. I said that I doubt he's been signed as first choice but IF he has then it's a risk.

'IF' being the operative word.

I've maintained the whole time that he'd be a good squad option.

He will also be a high risk signing if he's signed as the first choice goal keeper.

Maldini the far better player. Maicon better going forward. Make more out of the point than there is if you want, not bothered. I'm stating the obvious.

Ok...

Anything relevant to add? Or summat I've said that isn't actually made up? Or are we done?

Being relevant would be talking about the experience and knowledge he brings to the squad as well or are you just blinded by his age and the unnerving worry that you think he is being bought as our first choice right back??

I've not made up anything you've said. I'm just adding my own caveats on the signing.

Are you asking?? It happens to be what I'm good at (;

More disorganised attachments, actually (;

I approve of this signing and as I know more about football that everybody else the worriers can relax. :-)

You forgot to write " I repeat " ;)

 

[snorky]

But you're the only one saying he is being signed solely as the "first choice" RB.

I may as well add my own caveat, RB will be an awful signing if he drowns himself in the bath before ever playing for us.

But there's statistically a much greater chance of slipping in shower

Thanks mate, that is a weight off my shoulders :)

Stones will play the majority of games. Pep didn't buy him to sit on the bench.

Pep didnt buy Bravo to sit on the bench.

Well it's a lovely sunny day - even up here in Glasgow so it's only fair I give the good folk of bluemoon something less to be concerned about.
Maybe everyone can get themselves a nice mint choc chip cornetto and go sit in the garden. :-)

Alves. Right back cover for Walker. Sounds like a plan. Cheap. Experienced. What's not to like?

[Kompany is King]

Walker will have to be impressive to keep Alves out of the team.

It will be interesting to see who gets the most starts in Europe & PremierLeague.

Inaccuracy?

You might have to revise your theory as cover for Walker. He might be the right back with Maffeo covering.

If you're right and Walker is still on, I think it would be Walker who would cover for 12 months at least

Do we go for a 2nd right back, or a centre back? In an ideal world we'd go for both but even we have a budget and also if Alves completes, Walker might not fancy it.

I don't think Alves would last a full season plus CL as the main man. Fine in the slower paced Italian leagues but not in the fast paced PL. Walker might be still on, seems suss to me that he was "injured" for a couple games at the end of the season, but it might be someone else. We would still need a world class right back. Alves was, and now isn't.
