Brazil Vs. Chile - Dani Alaves vs Speedy

[Dhav]

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.

I've only seen him a handful of a games and I can tell you he is class. I agree with you that we'll probably be priced out of the market for him now and we have missed our best chance to sign him, however I dont know whether that is more Rafa's fault or the usual dithering from Parry and Co.

Is glock still around then? Where? He's a great laugh.

He popped up in here not too long ago. Cannot remember what name he is going by now. Has the same avator though, and you cannot mistake his postings.

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

****ing A.

[keniget]

Nah, Glock is on 6CM. The crazy ******* is on a hiatus at the moment though.

[anfieldanfield]

Is AFII this sites version of Glock?

Yes.

Many others from 6CM have noted the similarities, the only difference is, Glock is funny.

[Rocket]

Yes.

put AF on ignore fella, its amazing

[tomasjj]

Glock is great fun.

Its ok saying Rafa shouldnt have signed all those players but got Alves instead but what if Alves signed and then got himself injured on the opening day of the season.

Its a shame Gillett and Hicks didnt take over last season so we could then have had the cash to buy Alves but you cant blame Rafa for not been prepared to put all his eggs in one basket.

If anyone is to blame its the board for not finding the extra 2-3 million it would have cost to sign Alves.

As usual Jamo,everything is Rafa`s fault.



This time it was the board who refused to stump up after Seville bumped the price in the middle of negotiations with us,if i remember right.rafa tried his best to get Alves.

[dww]

To be honest if we don't put anfieldanfield in charge of scouting and transfer policy and AFII in charge of youth recruitment this summer I think we are doomed.

We had agreed a deal with Sevilla only for them to do a Simao on us and bump the price.

Yes. They obviously know better than Rafa.

[Shaggy]

So Alves is in the Brazil side now? Until very recently he was uncapped and continually overlooked in favour of Cicinho and, I think, Rafinha.

[anfieldanfield]

Yes. They obviously know better than Rafa.

Ah, I see the RCDNW brigade are out in force tonight...

In the past three years ONLY Mourinho has spent more money than Rafa Benitez, yet many of you appear very happy to swallow Rafa's "I've had no cash to spend...honest" line.

Rafa could have bought Kuyt and Alves in the summer. He didn't, he decided to bring in a load of fringe players to bulk up an already over-inflated squad.

Last summer: Alves = 15m maxmimum

Last summer: Gonzalez, Pennant, Bellamy, Paletta and Aurelio = 15m

Can you see it now ?

Of course you are working on the assumption that Alves would've been a better player for us than any of those who were signed. You have no evidence that this would've been the case. It's pure speculation.
