How about Paolo Maldini 1988 - 1994?
Phillip Lahm 2002 - 2017?
Cafu 2003 - 2007?
Zambrotta 2006?

Maicon was a decent player, but he shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as the ones above.

Hmmm

Cant take any list like that serious without.....

Neil Pointon - 1990 - 1992

Well no. Only a fucking idiot would think 1000/1 was a safe bet.

But 1000/1 isn't a risk if you are placing a small amount on it.

Surely with anything where there's a high chance (RISK) of losing it's a risk? Doesn't matter what monetary values you put on it. If I drop 10p off a cruise ship there's a high risk of me subsequently losing the 10p.

You know what I meant anyway.

Risk = Probability x Consequence

Nope. There's no risk in placing a 10p on a 1000/1 shot if you are comfortable.

The definition of risk in the parlance of finance always takes into account the potential for return and the proportion of the individuals assets 'at risk' of loss.

Put your mortgage on 1000/1 and it's a risk. Put £1 and it's no risk.

OK.

Us signing Alves as first choice and the chance that he could possibly fail to adapt due to his age make his signing (as a first choice) high risk, because the consequence of him not adapting then us having no other decent RB would be colossal for our season.

Therefore, risk.

But you're the only one saying he is being signed solely as the "first choice" RB.

I may as well add my own caveat, DA will be an awful signing if he drowns himself in the bath before ever playing for us.

Where? Words in my mouth again. I said that I doubt he's been signed as first choice but IF he has then it's a risk.

'IF' being the operative word.

I've maintained the whole time that he'd be a good squad option.
