How is a quick fix a good thing?

We need an upgrade for the long run

 

That's what the fans always say but ofter are football clubs actually able to upgrade for the long run? If we could get two seasons out of Dani then this transfer would be very nice.

If we feck up this year AGAIN something which a pessimist like me believes will happen, I'd love to see Alves as Chelsea for 1-2 years. Imagine him playing instead of Moses against United or Tottenham, would immediately improve us a lot on that flank. Against the lesser teams we can continue to play Moses and start Alves only when needed against strong teams. Still hope we get Semedo for this position thought.

Ya, really liking this!

Veteran who is a leader and played at and won at the highest level. We need more of these personalities in the dressing room, guys who command respect.

From a footballing perspective this is also great! He is still deadly down the flank and should be able to play at a high level if he's used sparingly. At Juve this year he played in 15 games in Serie A and 11 in the Champions League, thats the kind of workload I expect for him to function at a high level.

Its on a free! We would be morons not to take a stab at him...

Still has miles in the tank, I would have him here. It's like the opposite end of the spectrum ala Marcos Alonso....Conte has made Alonso into a terrific player despite people saying he wouldn't cut it here, so because Alves has been around the block doesn't mean this would become a nursing home, he still has it.

I think he would be a great short-term upgrade for Moses. A little bit of rotation wouldn´t harm Victor, because he had no competition all year. Alves´ experience could be crucial if we reach the knockout phase of the CL.

Disagree with you here, there is a reason why evra and now dani alves can still contribute for juventus. Serie A is not as hectic in term of pace compare to EPL. There is no way Alves will last playing in EPL.

Apparently Higuain posted a goodbye message to him and then quickly deleted it again. Hope we're still in for him

I sadly see this like the problem Roman supposedly has with Bonnucci. With our strict 1 year policy over 30 I can guess both Alves AND Bonnucci would want a couple of years.

City wants him too...

Yep. Would likely be an inexpensive, single season rental basically. He'd be a great signing for City.

Only two better options than Alves are Walker and Nelsinho, with former not possible as he is spurs player and the later costing big money, plus there is competition with Barca, Bayern and at least both Manchesters.

I would take Alves in hearbeat, still best RB out there. But yeah, he cant play every game, so that could be big problem.

I'm going to throw one more name in there for you - Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

I don't really follow transfers closely, but can someone please explain to me why we are letting Alves go to City even though we desperately need wing backs and the role here would suite him better than that at City?
