Danilo

[J_Bow]

Feel like too many people are judging this guy despite never seeing him play. He was backup to Dani Carvajal, one of the best right backs in football for starters.

We now have more Brazilians than an episode of the Real Houswives of Cheshire .

I've missed most of this. How close are we to signing him?

As close as Alves was a few weeks ago.
Some can't wait for the Txiki-player-signing-deal picture.

Players who proved they are good enough at the top level because they were given the chance to play there yes... you can't definitively say someone is or isn't good enough to play at the top level until they are given the chance...Bojan was a monster at youth level, what's he up to these days?

isnt this why we've invested in a Spanish and Dutch teams let players go play at higher level we couldnt have a B team so we've bpught one

 

[The Riot Club]

Is he any good?

I'm assuming (hoping!) an upgrade on Clichy or a 34 year old Sagna, but is he actually close to Walker in ability?

I guess he must be reasonable if he was at Real and us and Chelsea wanted him. Maybe he'll shine now he's out of Carvajal's shadow.

Dom wouldn't last a day in the hole, nevermind a month..

At least we get to see ours for £35.00, you'd need about a mill just to get an up skirt off them fuckers.

It's like 2008-10 all over again. :-)

It can't have been easy at Madrid knowing even if you came in and played well, you were going to be out again. No chance to get any real rhythm, confidence going. Could be a great signing.

 

[KingOdin]

smart move :-)

 

[philjoneswho?]

Looks good on the various YouTube clips I've seen on here (thank you for posting). Great thing is when he gets in the "Navas position" edge of the box about to cross...he picks a player out. Which is great to see maybe even Navas looks good on YouTube but I certainly wouldn't be watching them! Another thing again on the clips he anticipates the pass therefore he's on the front foot to intercept usually quite high...so judging on them (clips) and them alone I'm excited to see him in Blue.

Losing out on Alves scuppered the plans and Danilo isn't too bad an alternative. I think he helps Pep in tactical flexibility and not only as a RB back up. I think that Danilo is a lot better going forward than defending so I could see him being used as a wing back (which would be a lot better than Navas or Sterling) with Walker on the right side of a back 3 in certain games depending who's injured or needs rest. Also helps that Danilo can play LB if need be.

 

[Kompany is King]

If we sign him and it looks likely. Credit to City for acting quickly & decisively after the non signing of Alves.

 

[Le Havre Oswald]

I feel a bit embarrassed that we are spending that much on a back-up RB. And despite it not working out at Madrid. He is by all accounts a highly rated talent.

If we sign Mendy and Bertrand as well. We will have spent about 150m on FB's this season.

really?

 

[Tevez City]

It seems Maffeo has no future with City now. Kyle & Danilo are 27 years old and should book this position for the next 5 years.

So your embarrassed for what reason?

Fresh fish (:

I hope we do not end up in a situation where we are playing 32 year olds at full back ever again.
