Alex Sandro interest

[sam-caddick]

Siqueira-Juve: all done, agreements found. But in the last hour opening by Portugal for Alex Sandro and Juve want to try

spoke to the Portugese football expert, Jan Hagen @PortuBall on Twitter, he think it's very unlikely :

O Jogo the best connected paper to Porto thinks he's going to renew. They've also already rejected a €30m bid for him this summer from Alteti (and he's in the last year of his contract - typical Porto).

He is very good though, would be a big upgrade on Clichy/Kolarov.

No he wouldn't, he would be a downgrade. He barely stands out in the Portuguese league.

fair enough, respect your opinion. But I've always thought he's an excellent player, has so many different facets to his game.

No worries but think of the damage Kolorov would do against União Madeira, Arouca, Tondela etc etc whilst playing for Porto.

Some big losses though Jackson Martinez, Danilo, Ricardo Quaresma, Oliver Torres and Casemiro

Alex Sandro has apparently turned down his contract extension from Porto.

Meaning instead of costing over €30m, he could be going for a knock down price given he's only got 10 months left on his contract.

Juventus want him, but I'm assuming we can compete with them if we are interested.

If Aleks continues to play like he did on Monday, and when Clichy is fit again, and with Angelino having huge potential, I don't see this as our biggest issue, appreciate I am in the minority though. I do wonder how so many people see so much of players like Sandro enough times to form such clear opinions, and we all know it is never as easy to form correct views on players watching on TV rather than at the game

In an ideal world we would get a new left back. The trouble is that Clichy is homegrown and Kolarov is a good attacking threat so it's very difficult to identify which one to replace.

Either way, Sandro would be no better than Kolarov. He impresses against teams in Portugal but he'd get found out time and time again in England. Kolarov and Clichy are both impressive enough against the majority of English sides, I don't think Sandro is better than either of them at the moment.

Better options out there.

Kolorov gets far too much criticism for me as it is and I'd prefer we keep him to be honest so not too excited about the links with Alex Sandro. I think we've seen that there's a big jump in quality from the Portuguese league when players come over to England and I'd agree that I don't see him as an improvement on what we've got.

I'm in that minority with you pal

Kolorov played really well on Monday, hopefully gets a good run in the team. With Angelino coming back over the next few month I don't think we necessarily need another LB. Would like to see him get a chance. Not a massive fan of clichy though

 

[MeatHunterrr]

I hope we get new LB sooner rather than later. I don't think Clichy or Kolarov are good enough in Champions League.
