Daniel Alves

[khaled_a_d]

I think he meant Adama for *RB* next year or false RB (RW).

Still would be a waste of a big talent. He is a forward and he showed nothing that suggests he can transform into a RB even an attacking mind like the system we are playing with right now,that of course in case Lucho stays next year

A renewal will cost more than it tastes as well, he's not exactly on small wages at Barca now.

This is one of the reasons I think it might be better for long term to let Alves go,we might suffer next year big time but that is better than next board trying to find a way to get rid of him and his wage at the age of 33
Also this is something the board is to blame for,we are giving pay rises,renewals for players who has 3 years in their contracts .we needed some better negotiations with our own players .and that doesn't mean giving them a way to leave easily like we did with Thiago & Kieta

Lucho is "Delighted" with the way Alves is playing.

Kill me.

He doesn't mean it... But that's how he rolls with media, he tries not to criticise his players in front of cameras. Not sure whether it's good or not though.

I wouldn't be too sure about that. He plays Alves non stop. When Pique was underperforming to lucho, he benched him. Maybe he really likes Alves.

Pique somehow being the only player to underperform in his eyes is even more terrifying.

I haven't seen Dani play in weeks, so when he came on, I was actually happy and thought he'll improve us, but then he made one of his stupid crosses

His corssing was not great but he did get into proper positions in the final third and he gave some good early passes into the forward players.

He caused more disruption in the final third than Alba and Montoya did the whole game combined.

Still by far the best FB at the club and that says something.

 

[DonAK]

Can he not try low crosses from time to time?

I thought the same... I was hoping his energy would be useful, but then he made one of his stupid crosses...

Would the new Sporting Director try to keep him?or he is as good as gone?

 

[Morten]

Would the new Sporting Director try to keep him?

Of course, since Alves will be the new director.

Alves is like: "Just as I wanted"

 

[Morten]

Alves should have had a rise in confidence if he saw our match, he will know he is not the worst crosser on the planet, Arbeloa just stole that title from him. "At least i cant cross any worse against Atletico than what Arbeloa just did"
