No.
5m isn't much but add that to his wages - I would say 7m would be a conservative estimate and you are looking at 12m for a back up full back for the year. If walker signs and is 1st choice, we would likely be paying around half a million per game for alves.

Had a think. Still against.

I might be ageist.

Or it might be that I really thought we had aspirations to catch Bayern and the two Spanish giants with Pep in charge and with signings like KDB and especially Gabriel Jesus we had started to take players that some of those three would have wanted.

I don't think they would want him now in their wildest dreams. An upgrade on what we had is not good enough to achieve the highest honours

I also think he will play (a lot) or else what's the point? Are we freely admitting that under normal circumstances he won't play? Our squad needs to have great players on the bench to catch the three big guns.

I will say he is remarkably good for his age but it's not building for the future or challenging the very top in my opinion. He could have one great season for us but that still doesn't solve the problem we have had for ages.

I don't remember many blues putting Alves forward as someone they wanted before now but as soon as it looks like he's coming it's suddenly an obvious brilliant move.

However, even though Pep has seemingly done the exact opposite of what he has been saying all season with this signing, he is a genius in my eyes so I'm proper confused.

I think your post is completely out of the context of the reality.

He's likely coming in with Walker, Mendy and Bertrend. Three prime full backs.

I could understand your post if he was the only signing but he won't be so what you say doesn't really make sense.

We want to be as good as Barcelona and Bayern.


But you don't want someone who was MOTM and completely decided 2 champions league semi finals 2 months ago, and was one of the few Juve players who turned up in the final.

Did he? If that's the case then it is a no-brainer.

34 and was the best RB in the CL (you know that little trophy our owners are kind of desperate to win) just a few months ago. You're acting like we're buying a 34 year old who is clearly past it. Alves has proven he still has it.

This is one of the dumbest comments I've seen on here for a while.

It's like you think that if you keep repeating the same bollocks hell stop being the player who won the CL semi final getting MOTM in both games and was probably Juves best player in the final.
