Dani Alves

[Marvin]

We now have two options.

Use Maffeo/Dinho as back up RB, which is probably what will happen. Alves's seeming availability was a one off, we are not going to get someone else as good as him on a free.

Or drop interest in Sanchez and buy two top quality RBs.

if the budget is there to sign Sanchez, we should use it on defenders. That has been the glaring weakness all along. Perhaps this might focus a few minds now.

Who gives a shit, he's 34

No one told you he was the last available backup RB in world football did they?

It's one thing choosing another club/ city but ffs why string it out? Twat.

 

[Super David Silva 21]

Never keen on this, get someone younger in

 

[waspish]

Looks Navas as back up Right back which to be fair did a good job at.

Looks like we couldn't have done anything about this one, player has changed his mind, it happens.

I'd go and give Monaco the £40m-£45m they want for Fabinho.

This 100%

I think people linking Alves going to PSG and the political issues in the region are stretching the importance of football

I think your underestimating the rising tensions in that area, there is open hatred to the Qataris by most of the Arab world and particularly by the UAE.

Great bit of PR at the very least for Qatar and I am sure the political situation helped them give Mr Alves a contact he could not refuse.

This is the main point lets not blame the club when it seems as soon as PSG came in the wife took over we move on to the next target.

No one is blaming City for a players last minute change of mind. The player no longer has football at the forefront of his mind. PSG are only in one competition the CL. Obviously Alves didn't fancy the reality of playing in the Premier League. Those who worried about his age were probably right after all.

No formal confirmation.

Who am I kidding!!
