The official "Say yes to Daniel Alves" thread

[cobain]

He will probably cost 20 million now

We have new owners, therefore every f****** player will cost 20 million now!

[Shaggy]

Hopefully that won't be an issue.

I think it would be money well spent.

I just worry that the 'secret is out' now. I'd never heard of him when we were first linked with him but now I can see Chelsea wanting him (they need a right back desperately)...and maybe even the Mancs, who will need to replace Neville at some point in the not-too-distant future. Of course, Barca and other top La Liga clubs will be well aware of him but I fear more and more of Europe's top clubs will be in for him.

I'd be gutted to see him move elsewhere.

Don't worry he is a boyhood red like Neil

I'm banking on the fact that there is no real stability at Chelsea (Mourinho possibly leaving and Abramovich meddling), or Barcelona (we may have seen the last of Rijkard this season) and also the fact that Whiskey Nose may be retiring soon.

I also have a lot of faith in Rafas ability to sell our club. Added to the fact that anyone who comes to us now is going to be joining a team on the verge of sustained success.

Love the sound off that.

If we can't get him then lets get Giles Barnes instead

He scored again yesterday

He scored again yesterday

He's a brute of a player and he's going to be a star. We should get him in this summer

Again spot on shaggy, same for me.

Really dissapointed we couldn't just have put up the extra money in the summer....but then I can understand the need to keep a tight ship.

I don't want to see Alves in Liverpool if he has the same haircut as now! No bloody way!

[DeeGame]

could be Gonzo II

[Kopite_Colin]

I would like to see Barnes at LM, and Alves either RB or RM, and two first class clinical strikers, one experienced (Klose) and one young gun (Villa / Huntelaar).

Sounds mouthwatering. I'd still absolutely love Harry to get back to full fitness and have 2 storming years on the left for us though. We all know he's capable and it would add some balance.

[CharlieMansonsSquint]

I heard he was MOM against Barca last night.

Highlights from last nights game if anyone's interested, plus some hilarious commentary
