I wouldn't say no. Though he is a Barca boy...

best lb in the world imo; he is surley barca bound to replace abidal. Any links to us or city are for him to secure $$$$.

Seriously you have to be kidding?

He is not even the best Spanish LB.

Who is the best Spanish LB, then? Asier Del Horno?

I wouldn't say best left back in the world either but best Spanish left back? Probably. Maybe Aurtenetxe will become better with time but as it is right now it's Jordi Alba imo.

I would say Jose Enrique is miles better defensively and a tad better going forward.

Quality little player. Him and Dani Alves will provide great additional width at pace for Barcelona.

Alves - Piqué - Puyol - Alba.

Nice!

lol no.

Terrific signing for Barcelona. A lethal attacking option from deep, very able defensively, suits the Barcelona style down to the ground. Left back was an issue last season in the absence of Abidal, Alba certainly solves that problem.

I think Barca was better with Abidal at his best. He was fast, and equaly great in defence and attack. Sure Alba is perfect fit to them, but they need to strenghten their defence and he wont. He is like Alves who goes in attack oftenly and in past, barca alowed for Alves to attack, while Pique Puyol and Abidal played defense. Now both, Alba, Alves will attack, leaving gap for old Puyol and tall Pique, who got beaten several times past season. With aditional CB, barca would strenghten their defence. And to mention Alves has become bad tacticaly (Like Lahm in 2008)

Good signing, but they will need to strenghten their defence more than that. Now I wonder where will RM get proper RB to replace that Arbeloa.

I dont agree. Alba and Alves are clever enough not to both go forward at the same time and leave the defence completely exposed. In any case, Busquets is there to make up the extra number. What Alba also adds (with his previous experience as a left midfielder) is the ability for Barcelona to go with 3 at the back and use Alves and Alba as wing backs.

Wow what a great signing for Barcelona!

One of the best LB at the Euro.

[Joker10 946]

Alba is having a good tournament, he is not good as this tournament shows.
