Daniel Alves

[Cule4life]

Could you imagine the amount of damage Dani would do with the amount of space he is given nowadays if he was at his Sevilla/early Barca level? It's sad to see him decline like this because some people will remember him as the player he is now rather than what he used to be. He was easily the most exciting full back I had ever seen, especially at Sevilla. Even when the pitch was stacked with attacking talent he was the most exciting and energetic player on the field.

He is given that much space BECAUSE he is not at his old level....

Its strange to say, but your most important signing is to give this guy a new contract, sounds absurd.

Welcome to Barca where the absurd is the new normal.....

Would prefer we don't and just play with ten men.

 

[Flavia]

Must renew.

Sigh....

Either he renews, or bartomeu forces lucho to play montoya. That would be ok too.

Or we change our formation to a 3-2-3-2, 3-4-3 or 3-1-4-2.

Yeah, wouldn't mind that either. Lucho wanted Cuadrado all summer, so he might as well play another attacking "right-back" like Pedro or Adama there.

I think the 3-1-4-2 could work very well - it is the one Manchester Utd. use at the moment. Not that they play particurlairly well, but the formation seems fine.

------------- Bravo ---------------
--- Bartra -- Pique -- Mathieu ---
------------ Busquets -------------
Pedro -- Messi -- Iniesta -- Alba
------- Suarez -- Neymar --------

 

[linetty]

Monti will stay.

 

[Chainsaw]

I'll be ok with anything and anyone from now on. Nothing to lose and nothing to win for another year.

Barcelona right back Dani Alves (31) is not expected to renew his contract. Current deal expires at the end of the season. [onda cero]

Just something his agents lets out, he will stay, but he knows the situation the club is in and he can use that for one last paycheck. Not that i blame him.

That looks very good tho, IF Alves and Montoya would leave, then even Adama could play there and why not even Deulo.
