I understand, but both of them can play on the wings, and I think that Alba would be able to accept a supporting role in 5-6 years time. We wouldn't have to sell him (and even if we did, we'd improve our squad for a couple of years and make a profit, too)
As good as he is, I'm against his purchase. He's 27, will be 28 in next September, we would have to pay a lot of money, probably around 30M euros. It's too much for 27-year old, we should buy CB from younger generation (Sakho, Hummels etc.) or don't buy a CB, I think Mascherano is amazing in this season as CB.
In short: Site has been functioning great and chat add-on (which is also paid) is also holding up. No crashes in recent year.
Having said that, forum itself barely makes anything through adsense. 15USD per month is pathetic and not enough for up-keep.
And if we can cover the server ourselves I would best take ads altogether.
Price of the hosting company went up significantly and I would appreciate donations: It's time to cover the server for the next 6 months.
