Daniel Alves

To be fair Trent was awful today. Dest still has promise and Alba is still reliable. Roberto is trash and Alves is old though. We definitely need a quality wingback, one that can play both sides would be perfect. Not many players out there though like Adriano was for us, he was underrated a bit.

Love Dani but would be a big mistake renewing his contract. If Xavi wants him around the team should just retire and join his coaching staff.

Adama would probably be better than Araujo in defense, not to mention dude will run the entire pitch by the time Pedri covers 40 meters.

We need to try him there because right now with Adama at RW no one's willing/able to keep up with him.

Adama is lazy, Dembele works harder than him.

Adama isn't a defender. At worst he can play RM in a 3-5-2, but even then, he's not effective.

His ONLY strength is dribbling. He's so mediocre at everything else. If you stick him at RB he'll get to use his dribbling abilities 1/10th of the time he's doing it at RW, which means he'll be absolutely useless and additionally a liability in defence.

No wonder he plays at right wing being right footed, he's the most one-dimensional professional footballer in the world.

Media claiming Barca could give him a contract of 100K a week and 3m bonus if plays 60% of games.

There is not a club in world that would pay that for Alves.

It is getting to point it is jobs for the boys.

Of all the changes needed none of them are being addressed. Team is getting older again.

Go and buy full backs and sort out the basics in team before chasing old stars and Spanish internationals.

If Sergi?o Dest stays, Dani Alves will have to leave Barcelona.

Nice, that precedence got clarified.
It's Dani's future that depends on Dest's, and not the other way round...

Another huge L for Jammy...
Ooops...

Rumours is that we will sell Dest if an offer of 25M offered, so it is still not so good of news

No,
the rumor is we will 'listen to offers' above 25 m
and bottom line is that the player has to accept such possible offer, which Dest IMO will never.

He will stay put, and if Azpli is transferred in,
then the odd one out will be Dani

If Dest was any reliable Dani would be irrelevant. He is never fit and when he's fit he's shit. Poetic.

I hope we look into a RB this summer.

Disagree. He is the best we have atm and the one with the highest ceiling.

Unfortunately, it looks like we have Azpli tied up for the RB position this summer.
The best we can hope for is him and Dest playing the position 90% of the time, and gradually the older one getting less minutes

Dest hasnt shown nearly enough.

Not a good defender and not nearly enough quality in final third.

Flatters to decieve and got to point potential is not a strong enough argument.

May well stay if little interest in him but Barca/Xavi would sell tomorrow if could.

I think Dest has improved a lot, he took a good leap in defensive side between first and second season and his attack improved a little too. Need to learn to make a cross tbf.
I agree that he is the best RB we have (considering Roberto injury past 2 years) and I also agree that it isn't enough for us.
I honestly think he is a solid back up who is actually versatile, for that he is worth keeping but with an idea that we need someone that will bench him

I think we'll keep Dani until the World Cup regardless, just to give him the best chance possible to get into the Brazil team. And it seems that's exactly what the club are going with, considering reports that we're set to extend him until December 2022. After that, I could see him retire anyway.
