I think Rafa sees this guy as the last piece of the jigsaw. If you watched him you'll see why. Typical Brazilian as even though he's primarily a full back he can easliy play right wing. Finnan is 31 this season and will need cover. Unsettled Kromkamp would not appear to be the answer.

I've watched him several times and he's impressed me every time.

It may not be before 31 August. May not even be January but from what I've been hearing it will happen at some point.

any links to view highlights?

Not got any links to that game but got some footage fron the UEFA cup, the 4-0 drubbing of 'Boro. The clips mainly show stuff that involved Alves in the play. He's No 4. They show him defensively as well. If they didn't you'd swear he was a winger....

I like the look of him... but all I've ever seen of him is on youtube

Was in Spain last week and they were driving round Seville in a bus with Campeones on.

Ah the memories..!
