Dani Alves

[Akiva]

We talking as first choice i take it?? He'll get roasted week in week out, maybe at a push as a second choice.

I don't know what "first choice is", but I'm sure he'll be Pep's first choice for some games and Walker for others. We are bringing in 4 fullbacks this summer.

How much do you know about Dani Alves, other than his age?

And he's a winner. Pep highlighted our players' mentality this year, and bringing in a smattering of serial winners can only be good, if they are team players - Viera, Yaya, Lampard, Tevez added loads to the team.

Edit: ok, not sure Tevez was a team player. But a winner, certainly.

Yes and he said "7 years ago I didn't even know Manchester City was a club", ie, he didn't know until 2008.



Why?

He told you, because he's 34. It's astounding reasoning and totally illogical when you look at how he is performing. I think some are just on the wind-up now.

If we are getting 4 new full-backs, having someone like Alves training with them each day could be a real asset. He knows the Pep system for fullbacks as well as anybody. That alone could we worth the benefit for a few seasons. Plus he's a great squad option.

I'm on board with this 110%.

It's self evident he knows fuck all if he thinks he's gonna get roasted week in week out. Spectacular levels of ignorance.

Great signing, his age is irrelevant. He will fit into the side like a glove, top mentality, proved last year he can still play at the highest level and I can't wait to see him in the shirt.

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Take away the fact he is a great player look at what else he will bring

Leadership especially when Vinny is out
Experience on the biggest stage will settle players
Maturity in helping younger players especially South American settle and decision making
Good influence in dressing room

No brainier at the price quoted

Walker will learn so much from him

 

[bumbleblue]

Get him in! Not arsed about age. Don't think we are having first choices and back ups we are having a deep quality squad with the best suited to tactics etc on the day picked. C'mon City!

If he comes in and can hold up to playing in the Premier league week in week out i'll be the first to hold my hands up.
