As league champions, we should be looking to get a left back to cover, not shifting a right back to that position.grunge said:jonmcity said:Manchester City are set to make another move to sign Barcelona full-back Dani Alves. According to reports in Spain they have offered £12m and Aleksandar Kolarov for the 29-year-old Brazilian.
Would make sense, thinking about it we have Zabba and Micha as right backs, Zabba being one of the most versatile player going he will fit in anywhere.
So Alves and Micha as RB's would work in the "Need" sense.
RB is our least problematic position, plus alves is getting on and is a ****.
The spanish cap reference makes me think muniain, cant see it thougj
Eh? we have 1 native RB ( Richards ) and 2 native LB ( Chichy/Kolorov ) so some cover/competition for RB would be good. Zabba does cover it but thats not his native position, he's a defensive midfielder but is so versatile he can fit pretty much anywhere anywhere
Have to agree about Alves being a c*nt though, only came to that from the Barca' comments from Tolm.

it doesnt really matter what anyone thinks or wants, the only factor is how mancini wants his teams set-up and the overwhelming evidence is that it's without wingers

Last year we played without wingers and very attacking. The year before we were defensive as hell, next year who knows??
I'm not saying that it will be a massive signing, the winger, but I would expect one maybe even two to be brought in. Both likely to be powerful, raw, quick and probably cheap. Hence the Rodriguez interest.City Raider said:Joehannes said:"we don't play with wingers", how often I've heard this blurted out , but only half as often as I've heard "we need an extra dimension" in replyCity Raider said:don't see how alves as a winger is a system fit, mancini doesnt play with wingers, if he comes its as a rb

Irrelevant really, as Zaba is never going to be played as a DM in this squad unless we have a crippling amount of injuries. Whilst he's here he's a full back, and predominantly a right one given the existence of Clichy and Kolarov.
Munian would be amazing, as would Thiago Alcantara. Doubt we'd see either here though.

If I recall we bought and played him as a DM, His Wiki Page says DM/Full back.
Although I did just read an interview with him ( <a class="postlink" href="http://www.thenational.ae/sport/football/pablo-zabaleta-a-player-for-all-positions" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.thenational.ae/sport/footbal ... -positions</a> ) where he says he is a natural RB.
So I'll hold my hands up to that one. Either way, He can play pretty much anywhere :)
