There are some 100m printers like Kim Collins who were running 100m at 40 in 10 seconds.

He's not meant to be a long term option.

We're supposed to be offering him a 2 year deal so it shows how long term we think he is.

 

[FFPbegone]

Let me guess this right, some people aren't happy we might be buying dani alves?! Have those whinging watched him play recently? The guys a machine at both ends

He is an incredible player. I am a huge fan of him. With the way juventus set up, he is a full back and winger in one.
A true crack player

Yeah I suppose it's not Alves I'm opposed to but signing a short term option. Why not get two right backs that are potentially the solution for years to come?

Guess they're giving maffeo 2 years to gain experience on loan. Hopefully we're doing real succession planning

I agree and that's what I think is wrong.

If he really is still one of Juve's best players with the ability to go on for years I don't think they would be letting him go.

But you could say that about any player being sold; Walker, Mendy, Bernardo, Ederson, Sanchez etc...something must be wrong with them because their clubs are willing to let them go. Clubs sell good players all the time for a variety of reasons.

 

[MillionDollarDream]

We've signed all these have we ?

Have we signed Alves?

If they believe in Maffeo that strongly and we aren't in the same position again in a year's time then that would be OK. I'd like to believe 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.

I'm not repeating anything, it's an underwhelming signing on its own , I'll wait to see who else is signed before I get all giddy like you .

Not for 5 million they don't

Because this is the chance to sign THE best right back in the world right now. It may only be for two years but it buys you time to find the next one or develop whoever wee bring in to compliment him into the next best.

This isn't a "he'll do a job for a few years" kind of deal, he's the right back equivalent of a messi or Ronaldo he's so far above everyone else in his position if there's a chance to bring him in you do it. And that's without even mentioning the wealth of experience and the mentality he brings with him that will influence and inspire players around him.

 

[ballinio]

Have we signed Alves?

We're on the Alves thread .

 

[pudge]

Those moaning at his age would have moaned last summer if we signed him at 33 but look at the season he just had.

He'll be one of two RB signings no doubt. And anything to keep Walker from playing every single game is a good thing to me tbf: assuming he's the other signing.

 

[ballinio]

You do realise that we'll be signing another right back too?

I hope so too.

 

[Ric]

I hope so too.

There's no chance we'd go into next season with Alves as our only recognised right back.

 

[happychappy]

Get him as back up for a season to Kyle walker? and then loan him to New York City for the next season

 

[ballinio]

There's no chance we'd go into next season with Alves as our only recognised right back.

We started this season with one senior striker .

 

[MCityFC]

Not for 5 million they don't

He's a 34 year old defender, on the last year of his contract, and he went to Juve on a free... that's why the fee is low, not because they don't rate him

 

[chaddblue]

Fuckin disgraceful.. doesn't seem like 5 minutes since we were signing full backs like Gary Fleming

Now we're getting losers like this who have just been the MOM in the CL final, only got 100 caps for Brazil and won a pathetic 40 trophies in their career. Wtf is going on
