Indeed I do. In fact I said in other threads he is a player I would want us to buy. He is a right back that is good in both offense and defense. some could think that a Brazilian like him would be mostly a offensive player, but I seen him do much better defensive work the most other fullbacks I seen. Tireless and fast, like a young Cafu. Good crosses and a good shot at that. a top 5 right back IMO.

Of course the fact that we prolonged the contract with Cafu makes this less likely. But I say DO IT!

IMO, he will end up in Barcelona which will make them even more scary.

seen him play. but the thing is that we still have cafu. maybe buy him and loan him if he is young?
how is he?

And who replaces Cafu when he gets tired or injured ? He can't last an entire season now at his peak. This is why we need a new right-back Milany.

Alves is alot closer to Liverpool than Barca right now. Liverpool have started their negotiations for him before Barca, so i would call this an even race.

I've seen him a few times and while he does have Cafu like qualities, he does sometimes seem to keep his head down and not look up and can be a little lacking defensively (although still better than say Cicinho). However, these are all points that would improve if he came here.

Sevilla want £7/8 million for him, so it's not a deal we can just say 'yes, ok' to, it's quite a high price.

why do people over this board seem to rate serie a lowly??????????????

I keep seeing people opoening threads and asking for players from la liga,epl and south america.

There are great serie a players.who no talk of them?

He is a very good player, can cross well, fast and plays decent defence. But at this moment Oddo is better solution as he is chepper and knows absolutly everythjing about serie a. Alves in a good player dough, as good as cicinho.

Very good player indeed... He'd be a good signing !

meh, I mentioned him when I first joined these boards. Good player imo

The guy is very GOOD, I would sub Cafu for him without blinking an eye. BTW, I guess Parreira is simply a MORON to not get him for the WC.

Exactly..........

so thats why i said we still have cafu, and as i said before buy him and loan him.

i really need to know how old is he?

That's alot of money to spend on a player if you intend to loan him straight out again. Plus that idea also refers me back to my point of who plays at right-back if Cafu can't play and Alves (or whoever) is loaned out ?

Whoever we get at right-back will be there as a starter, with Cafu playing a handful of games every now and then. It'll be a mix of the two players to get our new right-back used to playing with us and for us also to get used to this being Cafu's last season.

I guess your right, cuz cafu will retire after the upcoming season

Btw, it's Dani Alves, ain't it ?
