Dani Alves

[Manchester_lalala]

Plenty of didn't want him anyway's in here tonight. Quality player and would of been a great stand in for a year, especially on a free.

 

[cibaman]

Sources in Italy, France, and England all said we had agreements with the player. We dallied and allowed him to go elsewhere. The end.

If we had an agreement with him, how did we dally?

 

[The slaughtered lamb]

Thought this would be the easiest one to get over the line, given his relationship with Pep and it being a free would have been handy. Him and his agent have used us in the past to get a pay rise though, so he can eff off to Paris with my blessings.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Fuck him

12 months ago we all laughed at the rags for paying a has-been a fortune

Let him take the easy life in semi retirement in a 2nd rate league and we can sign Walker, a proven PL player hungry for trophies, and promote Maffeo or another kid from the academy as 2nd choice

Well said chaddblue

 

[frothy]

Thought he would have shown more respect to Pep. When dealing with these transfers it's an almost impossible job if the player you are courting is simply using you as a stalking horse. Don't think you can blame the club if they have been played.

We don't even know if we wanted him, not heard through any official source at city

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

This is exactly what it looks like. The usual tossers who seem to scrape their opinions from piss soaked floor of a Wetherspoons' urinal are jumping in at the first chance to throw their miserable view of our club in everyone's faces again.

Exactly. But it's a forum and they're entitled to their opinion, they say. I see it as a fucking weird version of support.
Especially as the criticism is usually concerning areas of the club that most of us know very little about.

 

[alan47]

I don't want us to be the club that gives old players one last pay day, he couldve easily been another Maicon. Signing a 34 year old does not solve our right back problem.

 

[Manc in London]

Be interesting to know when we found out about this.

I'm philosophical about it. You win some, you lose some. Further opportunities will come along.

I think that many has lost money on betting on this one... seems unreasonable anger and for me that might be the reason for the bitterness

 

[Martin*]

No sorry my mistake. Was confusing left and right. Maffeo perhaps?

I'd like to give Maffeo the opportunity to get some game time. He looked good against United and although I haven't seen him in his loan spell, some on here who have said he was a key part of the Girona set up.

There has to come a time when we trust what we're producing from the academy. I get were wanting to have long (and hopefully successful) runs in all competitions but blooding somebody like Maffeo, playing the cup games and odd premier league game, learning from senior players can only benefit us in the long term. I do worry about the message it sends out to the constant stream of 16-18 year olds we bring in when nobody is given a real shot at the first team. I was convinced A. Garcia was the one to cement a place in the squad but even he's now been pushed out on loan, ready for the inevitable sale next summer no doubt.

 

[Thenumber1blue]

Shane has spoken everyone !

Reminds me of when Forest Gump stops running and everyone waits with bated breath.

 

[bluemoonmatt]

Why come out a like bunch of spoilt little bitches, all this 'well fuck him' shit all this 'never wanted him' all this 'over the hill last payday shit' ? Fuck me are we not the richest (if not one of the richest) clubs in the world yet some of us are so smalltime little brats taking such cheap shots.

He looks like choosing Psg,, well fair fucks he can choose who he wants, he doesn't need money, has a beautiful wife who adores the Paris and for those who haven't been it is for me too a wonderful city. Manchester is too but get real it's a different proposition, and the belittling of Ligue 1 let's not forget who put us out of Europe last year and all the teeth gnashing when we got psg.

The guy may or may not have snubbed us, isn't the first time won't be the last, he may yet even sign one thing is for certain, we will have our fb's sorted. Five weeks ago no one would have thought him even available given juves season, now our world has fallen apart because we've been 'snubbed'. City will thrive, with our without alves but whatever good look to the kid his choice and he appears to have made it.

 

[bluemoonmatt]

Well said chaddblue

Yep and all that laughing died down a bit in the end didn't it

 

[blueincy]

He bottled it

hahahahahah

Brilliant!!

 

[ballinio]

Michelin starred restaurants

Ponsy shite, Nando's would be good enough for him .

 

[City Raider]

It's a brutal business. If salary rumours are right, PSG wanted him more. Maybe we were given the opportunity to match and said no.

 

[chaddblue]

Yep and all that laughing died down a bit in the end didn't it

True, they may have been paying a geriatric £350k a week but his 40 goals made them worthy champions.... oh hang on a minute

 

[deano ou812]

Beginning to have a similar look this transfer window to some of the past,when looking to get deals done as early as possible or before pre season to bed players in we end up going to the last days of the transfer window or deals get dragged out and then other clubs come in late on to try their luck,this supposed free agent Alves was apparently nailed on and now according to reports is off to psg,it's the fact that we are still looking to bring defenders in with pre season upon us and it just has that deja vu feel about it..

 

[SilverFox2]

it's his last payday, I doubt he gives a flying one about sporting stuff anymore.

As I understand it he was adept at bending the rules in his favour as indeed many so called sportsmen are so perhaps hoodwinking a friend is not that difficult or even out of character for certain individuals.

Absolutely spot on !
