QUOTE Spanish reports claim Chelsea and Milan have both lodged offers for Sevilla ace Daniel Alves, but it is claimed Real Madrid remain favourites to clinch his signature.Liverpool have also been linked with the attack minded full-back, but it seems they are yet to make their move. Milan and Chelsea are understood to have made contact but the offer from the English club is bigger at €24million (£16.2million), with the Italians tabling a €20million (£13.5million) bid. Sevilla are ready to deal for Alves and are now considering their options. Chelsea made their move after their Spanish scout Juan Cruz Sol watched him in action against Real Zaragoza last month and he submitted another glowing report. Real are yet to unveil their hand - but it seems that they could very well offer players in exchange including former Sevilla star Julio Baptista, who spent last season on loan at Arsenal. Now the bidding has started for Alves, the player will need to consider his options and initial reports suggest Real Madrid is his preferred option. skysports I think Oddo is fine... I only have some doubts about Janku. Alves is certainly better than Oddo but... I've learned to like the Italian!

It's true he can't tackle but he covers much space (he canceled Joe Cole the other fay just by space covering). Plus this is the first thing he'll learn.
It's his excellent attacking abilities that separate him from the rest!

QUOTE (kurtsimonw @ Jun 7 2007, 09:58 PM) Oddo is our RB for the next 3 years, and rightfully so. We had a big turn around when 2007 started, it wasn't all down to R9 either. Oddo helped out big time. So I don't think he deserves to lose his place, as good as Alves is. We can`t survive next season without an offense-wise RB/RM... Unless Oddo does something with his crossing...

Oddo's not the best crosser of the ball, but he still helps out offensively. Look at our second goal in the CL Final. He was offside when Kaka' played the ball to Pippo! What we gain offensively with Alves, we'll lose defensively with not having Oddo. Alves is a decent defender because he's quick and can cover a player, I just don't think he can tckle, at all. Although, there's no reason they can't share time. When we're losing games Alvez and Oddo could play together, Oddo at RB and Alves in more of a forward role on the right.

I think we need a LB more. (Zambrotta? Drenthe?)
