Adriano Correia Claro

[KingMessi]

You can get bids of uptil 10m or so I guess. Call me crazy, but even then I would not sell him. It's not like he's on massive wages and a total waste. He is a good player who is not opposed to be a rotation player.

+1

He can play anywhere on the flanks, and he's even played centerback for us once ( ). I can't name another player who has that kind of versatility right now.

I'd sell him if Barca got Mathieu and they got a decent offer(~10-15 M). 3 LBs is overkill, rather just use a youth player. The thing with keeping a player like Adriano is you would play them sometimes even when unnecessary which could end up costing the team.

Mathieu will be bought to play cb, not lb.

I know he's been back in training for a few days, so what's the latest about his heart condition? Everything is okay now?

Why don't they just gradually make Adriano get more (he already is to a certain extend) used to playing at RB this year so he can be the backup RB next year and Grimaldo gets promoted for the LB spot?

There's pretty much no difference between how he plays at LB and RB. He's ambidextrous.

 

[instinct]

He is available for the game against Villareal! Medical green light

 

[te amo barca]

Looked good today, proved again that he's a great backup.

 

[Behrox]

The ultimate utility man this guy

 

[barcanuck]

Not sure why Puglas was bought but anyway Adriano is always cool.

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

I want him to score a screamer this season. Right or left, doesn't matter. He tears shit up.

 

[Flavia]

It's his b-day. Turned 30. Happy birthday!

 

[Egert]

Happy B-Day!

 

[Behrox]

Happy belated birthday to the ultimate utility player

I really think he would be a much better option at RB than Alves.

We keep mentioning Montoya and Douglas as poor Alves replacements (and hence his continued starts), but we have this guy who would be better wouldnt he?
