Brazil Vs. Chile - Dani Alaves vs Speedy

[jonymadness]

Am watching the Brazil Chile game over here in yankee land. Gonzalez hasnt touched the ball in the whole of the 2nd half, 68 minutes in now. Alaves has been excellent, everything good has come down his wing, he is a fiery little guy, not afraid to put his foot in, which I was suprised to see. He has some engine, up and down the wing all day.

P.S. Kaka is, as these yanks say, 'awesome'.

What is the score?

4-0 to Brazil

[jonymadness]

and it will be more the way this one is going.

Update - Speedy got the ball at last. decent run and drew a foul from Alaves. And they just took Speedy off, typical!

Sadly they just took kaka off, funs over.

Alves, not Alaves

He will be a very good signing.

Alves is pure class, anyone who has seen him play more than a handful of times will agree. Unfortunately, he'll be far too expensive for us now and he'll end up at Madrid, Barcelona or Chelsea in the summer.

Rafa made a huge mistake by not signing Alves last summer.

Sadly, I've never seen anything in Mark Gonzalez to suggest he's a Liverpool player, I have no idea how he got the nickname 'speedy' either, as he's not *that* fast.

Alves will cost £18m and I believe that we can afford that. The price is a part of an agreement between Alves and Sevilla that he can leave for that price in the summer.

We are also Alves first choice club.

I would of thought him in a Liverpool top would have given it away.

yes, i think some people were expecting a world class winger.

in reality, you pay peanuts, you get monkeys. its not often you find a world class attacking player on the cheap

Alves wont come to Liverpool now. There's not a chance in hell we are his 'first choice club', Chelsea, Madrid and Barcelona will all be ahead of us in the queue, in fact Barcelona have a first option on the lad.

Rafa has spent far too much money on cut-price squad players and 'possibilities'.

Gonzalez + Pennant + Bellamy = Dani Alves

I know which side of that equation I would have opted for last summer.

Maybe because his name is Gonzalez as in the cartoon character.

[Rocket]

Alves could quite easily not adapt to the league.

so 3 gash players in comparison to one more expensive gash player would make little difference

[Rich]

I think we have missed the boat on Alves, which is a real shame.

Although by the sounds of it, we really couldn't stump up the cash last summer.

Tsk, you know what I mean...

He'll be playing for a midtable side in La Liga sooner rather than later.
