I still believe that Daniel Alves is an ideal left winger and would be a great aquisition.I watched him play a few times last season and he is lightening quick and can deliver a very good ball into the box.
I would spend the money on Alves at left wing.
The right wing is more problematic.Of those players I would like to see play in that role most of them are already well established with their respective teams and would require too much money.I am talking about Kaka or Cristiano Ronaldo who I beleive is the finest right sided winger on this planet! And yes we let him slip though our fingers.......
I am still not convinced that Sabrosa is the solution either.I have seen him play and he tends gto drift in and out of a game and is not a worker.
My most realsitic preference is Aaron Lennon of Spurs.He has bags of pace and works tirelessly for his side.Trouble is I doubt Jol would sell as he is empire building at the moment and would only sell at the right price.
Forget Malouda.
I have said in a previous thread he is a mercenary and destined to play Chavvy football,good luck to him.
I might be prone to ripping into people at times, but not usually this much. However for that last post you completely deserve it.
You obviously have never ever seen Alves play, if you had you would certainly know that he plays on the
right of the pitch.
Even if you suggest him on the right, he is not a winger. A winger is someone who hugs the touchline, beats a man & puts a cross in. Alves is not this type of player at all. He is a right back in a league where right back means a lot less defending than it does here, hence the debate whether he should play right back or right mid if he came here. A winger he definately is not.
You then go on to suggest Kaka if money was no object, one of the best atacking mids in the world, if not the best. He can do a job on the wing, but the only time you would ever put him there is if every other player for the position was injured. He is at his most devastating doing his damage in the middle. He is a great goalscorer as well as being a skillful player, put him on the right & you lose a lot of that.
Can I suggest that you actually watch players before making a judgement on them. You just make yourself look stupid (see above) when you try to pass judgement without watching them. If you lok back through my posts you will see plenty of posts saying 'Haven't seen him, can't offer an opinion' I suggest you do the same if you haven't seen a player.
Alves = Left Winger
