Daniel Alves from Sevilla?

It's very painful to see a young talent favouring Liverpool instead of us...

yeah, it must be because of Galliani. he is the reason why Milan seems to be losing of its glory from the past. From a myth, we've turned into a home for the elderly and young, ambitious players would naturally prefer othe teams over Milan.
The only solution is to sack that bald SOB and start spending big.

is that what u want gre-no-li? to sack Galliani and bring in the ajax transfer director to bring in all the youth products in the world? or do u want us to bring in peter kenyon to buy players like Drogba for 28m, Essien 26m, Paulo Ferreira 30m (!) ?

its getting annoying to read all ur posts man, u know me, i havent disrespected u or said anything wrong, but now its bothering me.. usually I ignore ur posts, but it is hard now cuz you post so much everywhere.. just knock it out, we know that u disagree with our transfer policy, u dont need to mention it over and over and over again..thats why many people here have probs with you..

i know ur now going to say no one can doubt how much u love milan, and yeah, i agree that u love them too much, but im not questioning that, im just asking u to whining, its hard to believe that you are over 30 yrs old.

I am sorry to disagree with you guys, but today on Calciomercato (again how valid are most of these sites!!!), Alves' agent came out and said that Alves only wants to go to Liverpool. If it's true that their asking price is 12 milion pds, then why don't we pay the 12 instead of offering 11 and cafu. Though old, Cafu is still a good player, one whom alves can learn a great deal from at Milan. Cafu looked 27 against croatia, not 36. Oddo is still out there, and another player I like who is still pretty young is Giandomenica Mesto of Reggina.

Why is it sad to see a player favouring Liverpool Gre-no-li ? As far as i'm aware Liverpool are the only team to have shown a real and sustained interest in the player. Like i said in my last post, their interest in him stretches back way beyond this summer, it goes back over a year at least.

It is natural for a club like Milan to be linked with players like Alves, but i highly doubt they had any worthwhile negotiations for him. So if one club has been pursuing you on and off for a long time is making the effort to sign you, you would naturally become favourable for that club, particularly if you admire some of their players/manager.

I don't see how he could favour a move to anywhere else at this moment in time when no other club has shown a real desire to buy him, english, spanish, italian, german or otherwise.

On goal.com he rejected Milan's offer as well.

Alves Says No To Milan

The Sevilla defender wants a move to Liverpool.
The Rossoneri's dream of signing Daniel Alves has canished completely, as the player's agent, Jose Rodriguez Baster, admitted that his client wants just Liverpool.

"I can say that without any doubt he wants Liverpool only.

"Personally I did not speak to any other club, whoever called spoke directly to Sevilla, but Daniel wants to play with Liverpool."

The Spanish club are asking 15 million Euros for the services of their defender.

Sevilla have signed Hinkel from Stuttgart, which kind of indicates that Alves won't be staying. I'm 95% certain he'll be at Liverpool next week.

I often wondered what happened to Hinkel, at one stage he was considered to be better than Lahm (on the right obviously), he was just as cavalier and got positive reports from a wide range of sources. Lahm seems to have kicked on a stage but Hinkel has possibly stayed still ? He's one to keep an eye on if he recaptures his early Stuttgart form.

I am not 100% sure but think Hinkel got injured and couldn't play for some time. Also Stuttgart as a whole haven't been in the best of forms lately.
I dont know about you but I think Alves will find it difficult at Liverpool as I would expect him to feel unsettled with life in England, sort of like Crespo. I am more or less sure that within a year or two he would be looking for a way out of EPL. We'll see, I guess.

I think he'll cope ok, wether he flourishes is another matter entirely. He'll be an exciting prospect though, give Liverpool some much needed pace out wide.

daniel alves is the type of player that can adjust to any league IMO, i think his perfomances depends on whether or not he enjoys his life at whatver club he joins, and since he is more used to a sunny climate like brazil and sevilla there is a chance that he wont settle in at rainy liverpool and with the small number of brazilians there it makes it even harder (correct me jim if im wrong but isnt there only fabio aurelio there thats brazilian?), hopefully he changes his mind and joins milan, even if next year since cafu would probably retire

that's news to me about aurelio being at Liverpool mk

I know he's been linked, but i don't think he's left Valencia yet. There are reports he'll end up at Real Madrid, so i should imagine that's more likely for him. Unless he really likes Benitez. Alves aside, there are no brazilians in Liverpool's squad and i don't think they've ever had one ... no one springs to mind at least.

He has the characteristics to succeed in England and i'm sure if he was put off by the weather then he surely wouldn't go ??

I thought u guys already got aurelio, hes a great LB but very injury prone

He's still a Valencia player as far as i know. Unless they are waiting until July 1st when his contract probably expires and then he'll officially become a free transfer.

Liverpool will snatch him. They will also get him for a very low price because the only club which is on alves' mind is Liverpool and he doesn't want to go anywhere else.

Liverpool has a very stingy policy. They will place a 3mn pound tag on the aging dudek and screw his WC chances or will swap josemi for kromkamp but will never spend BIG. If there is some one who is worth alot of money they will influence his mind to the point where the player will have no option other than that one club. This way the club (in this case sevilla) will have to sell him beause if they force him to stay he will not perform. Screw 'em, the world doesn't end with alves.

You are quite misguided in some of your points rahul

Wrong. There is a difference between having money and not spending it. Liverpool are the former. They don't have a sugar daddy that has endless amounts of millions like some clubs and they also don't get as much revenue through shirt sales, etc. They have debts, plus the looming costs of a new stadium, this is why they have been actively seeking substantial new investment for quite some time now. If they had the money they would buy the likes of Torres or Joaquin, but they don't. They have to be sensible in the transfer market as they don't have alot of money to play with.

How have they screwed his WC chances ? Dudek had a poor season in 04/05 and they bought Reina who is a much better goalkeeper. Dudek could have left earlier knowing that it was a WC year, but he didn't.

or will swap josemi for kromkamp but will never spend BIG.

Why would you spend big money on a squad player ? That's all Josemi was and that's all Kromkamp is. Again, i refer back to the main point of the club having little money to splash out.

If there is some one who is worth alot of money they will influence his mind to the point where the player will have no option other than that one club. This way the club (in this case sevilla) will have to sell him beause if they force him to stay he will not perform. Screw 'em, the world doesn't end with alves.

You seem to be suggesting that Liverpool have brainwashed Alves into thinking that they are the only club he can sign for. How ludicrous. Maybe, just maybe Alves WANTS to sign for Liverpool, maybe he was a childhood fan of the earlier Liverpool teams, maybe he wants to experience life in England. Who knows. If he really wanted another team, he would go to another team, Liverpool haven't forced anything.
