is that you?

Change the face. It's Lucho that wants him. Everything that comes in and out will be Lucho's work. He runs the show now. Zubinepto is not longer in charge.

But we don't concede every game. We have the 2nd best defence in the league, conceded only 7 goals more than Atletico. And that with a bad CB pair for most of the time. If we buy a world class CB, we will rock. The RB must be offensive-minded IMO, and if we sell Alves, I'd take Cuadrado.

That may be so but our defence is still a shambles and so many of the goals we concede come down the right side. When we won at the Bernabeu, all of Madrids goals came from that side and they could have had more from that route. Bales goal in the final, Getafe's equalizer at the Camp Nou.

If we had the Dani Alves from 2009 then we could still play this way cause back then he actually defended well and was able to track back when he was far forward. Dani was incredible going forward but he was also such a tough defender....think back to his days at Sevilla and his duals vs Ronaldo for us. He was a beast in defence and attack. Has Cuadrado showed anything to suggest that he could handle Ronaldo running at him? Cause that is what he is going to be faced with....

 

[KingMessi]

Not yet. He will be if he comes.

Oh goddamit!!! He's a winger, who's played at rightback like twice this season, and he's played most often at leftwing. I'd take Cuadrado to replace Adriano, nothing more.

You don't know for sure that Luis Enrique wants him.

How do you know that Lucho wants him? The rumours about Cuadrado coming started in winter. If he comes now then yes, you could say that Lucho agreed on his transfer, but for now, you, me, cule4life and his dog, none of us know if Lucho wants him or not.

What he playes like in Serie A has nothing to do with what he will play for us. Serie A is like a different planet.

 

[Cule4life]

Cuadrado will have no problem facing Ronaldo because he would'nt even be in the picture when Ronaldo is running towards our penalty box....

Maybe we should bring Llorente to play him as a CB then.

 

[Cule4life]

serghei you never fail to surprise me. First i thought you were just an Alves fanboy. Now you hit it out of the park by saying Cuadrado is a RB

 

[KingMessi]

That doesn't change the fact that he's NOT a rightback. Never has been, and will never be world class at that position. At least Alves was actually a rightback.

None of us knows exactly. All this talk is a projection anyway. But this is a forum and we have to talk without having a proof infront of our faces.

No, that is the same on all planets. The RB position and what it means for each club is different though.

Yes and you're right. The only thing I objected to was you being so sure that Lucho wants him. He may or may not want him, but you cant say for sure that he does, especially when we've been linked with him way before Enrique even arrvived.

Messi was also a winger. Then he was a false 9 and now people want him to be a CAM, or even a second striker. It is the qualities that matter, they are the ones that make a player suitable to play in a certain position.

Yea, fair enough.
