Ronaldinho to Chelsea, Daniel Alves to Barcelona.

What the hell is this? Are they joking with the entire Europe or what? I really hope so... (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

[PS: I just posted this in the Milan NEWS section because it talks about 10R]

No ... I truly want to know what ur opinion is; are u honestly comparing R10 to Alves ?!
Alves ?! He is worth tens of millions ?! u gotta be kidding me ... Why ?! I mean, Cafu in his prime wasn't worth that much !!! And we r talking about Cafu here

In my opinion Alves is worth E35m! And he's not worse than Cafu in his prime. Especially if you consider that we're willing to spend E100m on Ronaldinho... if I was taking that fee seriously, I'd say Alves is worth E60m!!

You "have yet to see a club pay ridiculous amounts for a wing back" because defenders are underestimated... the first time to win a Golden Ball is Cannavaro in 2006... I can name a dozen than SHOULD have won it! And there are not so many full-backs that can be as effective as Alves... In the past 20 years there have only been Maldini, R.Carlos and Cafu that could have cost BIG money to a team... the former two were certainly worth the Golden Ball... but I guess Maldini has never been a player as good as Ronaldinho! I guess meaningless tricks actually mean a lot so some people...

Meaningless tricks ?! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) R u talking about CR ?!


Defenders are not underestimated !! I mean, if u take the fee that Berlusconi payed for Nesta, u would know that this isn't true ... The golden ball ?! If I was given the opportunity to be the judge of that competition it would go to Maldini hands down !!!

What I was pointing towards is a wing back, I mean sure he has quality and is fast and all that, but Alves really shouldn't be compared to R10 ! Neither should Carlos, Cafu, Zambrotta, etc ...

Then, we are not willing to spend 100M ... It is the owner of the club that is willing ... It's ok, you can evaluate Alves to be the best footballer in the game .. If u can live with this idea, then by all means (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

But don't compare R10 to Alves. Not because of the quality that R10 has, but because you are talking about a player that has played at the highest of stages !! And comparing him to a player who has yet to feel the pressure of playing for a BIG club.
