I thought United were confident of signing him :pep:

My point still stands that he wouldn't play his natural game playing for us. He wouldn't touch the ball nowhere near the same amount he would score less goals, he would dribble less etc. All these things happen to players we buy because they all -whether told to or instinctively- change their...

Isn't he an AML and doesn't he like too drift into the middle , his job for Barca will be to stick out wide and create space for Messi. I don't see how buying any new wingers will improve the situation we have.

If anything i'm just more biased towards allowing our RW whoever that maybe the freedom to play his game. And when were these glaring misses we barely had a clear sight at goal let alone Alexis having two. And what bit are you talking about when Pedro crossed it to Alexis, the only one I...

Yep, Alba in the first half yesterday was the perfect example of an attacking fullback, he waited to join attacks late, this make our defence more secure because he waits for our midfield to be in total control of the ball it us allows our winger freedom and room and also causes Alba to be...

Good idea we should sell Alves, because when Alexis is on form he does his job unlike Alves who contributes little to attacking or defending. As for a good player adapting, well Alves can't adapt with any RW who isn't Messi. Alves was pushing Alexis out of the RW position and into the middle...

Yep i felt sorry for him, especially with all the Alexis has been invisible remarks. Look at the player positions on whoscored. Alexis and Alves are on top of each other. http://www.whoscored.com/Matches/738787/MatchReport/Spain-La-Liga-2013-2014-Atletico-Madrid-Barcelona

I think he realises it's pointless a lot of the time, because someone will always follow him no matter what. If you notice he stands or walks around but he is constantly looking to see if someone is following him, if he thinks his marker has lost concentration then he marks a 5 yard dart into...

Alves: Stands high and wide up the pitch and tells our RW to move into the middle in order to create space for Alves, with this space he then 9 out of 10 times delivers an awful cross, receives the ball and waits for the opposition player to come and close him down, or he tries a bad 1-2 which...

A joke? He did nothing except help Atletico stifle Alexis.

I'd like to see Alexis stats with and without Alves.

Yep, bad bad bad. Rarely helps defensively even when he is in position which is about twice a game he gets run passed to easy because he jumps into tackles. Offensively he runs too far up the pitch and forces -you could actually see him twice tell alexis and once tell pedro- into the middle of...

After the knock with Costa, he just seemed scared to move or get on the ball for about 20 minutes. He seemed to have some mental issue that he was injured again.

Is this not the point though, Bartra has played very well better than Pique against weaker opposition and certainly better than Mascherano so he deserves to play in the bigger games but he never does.

:tata1: Maybe it's Tata himself.

Yeah well, if we use him as cover for DM then fine, but keeping him as starting or even rotating CB then definitely not.

Do people want him as starter? For me he will be a good rotation. If god willing we sell Mascherano and if Puyol retires, then we will need two CBs, so buying a prospect as well as getting Vidic in for experience. He has still been Uniteds best defender. As for injuries I suppose we shall see if...

Well we all know the Raul record will be broken during the Man City tie. :coffee:

Do you mean year or season?

You mean the goals :messi:
