We wanted him he said yes juve asked for him to terminate contract he accepted and here we are cant see anything wrong with what any other footballer would do with him being on a short term contract?

We lack leaders in the dressing room, In Tandem with Walker (Ive always been pro English, again for a stronger dressing room) I see it as good business, Walker cant play every game so Alves even for just a season is great business.
Liked the Alves POD by the way.

lol you tell him mate. he's not even a real blue. tourist. first game 2008.
I doubt that Juventus are bothered. They got a great year from a seasoned pro. All parties are happy I'd think. And if not it's business.
Respect is one of the most important core values but "Respect" in a football contract sense is as made up a meladrama as is "History". I've no stomach for those sensitivities.

I think any doubters will be quickly won over by him, he's the kind of guy who you don't always like when he's on another team, but his passion and spirit is invaluable when he's on your side. We're getting a proper winner, a disciple of Pep's philosophy and a dressing room king for free, he's not as consistent as he used to be but it's basically a risk-free transfer with so much to gain from. He always seems to be on very good terms with other Brazilians as well, I think he could be very important for Jesus in particular.

So why do you think that they have terminated his contract instead of telling him to man up.It suits both parties.Technically he isn`t a Juve player any longer.
Well first he suggested that Dybala should leave Juventus if he wants to grow further, then he posted a photo on Instagram of his shoes, which are the ones he wore in UCL 2015 final in which Barca beated Juventus and won the champions. Just imagine what he will tell Gabriel Jesus should he be in City.

Yeah for me that's what he brings. That Tevez'esque soldier mentality. Was a really interesting pod even for me. I didn't realise quite how much Graham loves Dani. Always forget how much time he's spent with all those Pep/Barca players!
This guy's one of the most reliable journos in Italy too and he's backing up what I posted this morning about it being done.
EDIT:
Sam Lee's also now confirmed we've agreed a two year deal with him. Just waiting on Juve.
