king of what lets not pretend like he's in the top five lbs in the world

 

[DonAK]

He may go AWOL with his headless chicken runs at times, but saying that he don't bring anything to the team at all is very unfair and very, very harsh. He is an excellent player for us and he is definitely among top 5 LBs in the world IMO.

 

[DinhoR10]

Who are the top 5 lbs then?

 

[mac10]

how the fuck should i know i'm drunk as usual but i can assure he aint one of em wasnt he a left mid anyway just converted to lb as is the barca way with midfielders?

 

[Stric]

He was a winger previously, but converted to left back while still at Valencia. That made his career happen.

for example, He's better than Marcelo...

Other than Lahm and Alves, there's not a lot of world class forwards. Alaba last 2 seasons has been playing great, he would be in the list for sure... I would out Alba also because really there's lack of WC FBS. Alba is great going forward, fast and defensively he's not good enough, also his height doesn't help him at defending set pieces! Which is a BIG problem for Barcelona especially when he pays with Alves and Masche!

No. You got it the other way around. He was a winger until Emery changed him to LB. He came back to Barcelona as a LB already.

"Alba was keen to praise the influence of Valencia coach Unai Emery, who has overseen his rise through the ranks at the Mestalla, having begun his professional career with Valencia's B team in 2007.

Emery was instrumental in converting Alba from an attack-minded winger to his current defensive role, and Alba said: "Unai Emery was a key man for me to occupying that position. He has continued to give me confidence and I thank him.""
