Dani Alves agreement

Alves is in the final year of his deal at Barcelona and has not been offered fresh terms at the Camp Nou.

The player's agent said this week that they would consider all options before making a decision in December or January.

But FIFA agent Francois Gallardo claims that a deal has already been agreed that will see Alves move to Old Trafford.

Speaking to Spanish television show Neox, Gallardo said: "The player will leave Barcelona next season. He has signed a preliminary agreement with Manchester United."

Decent back up for Rafael if the wages are right.

Hopefully this will mean the end of Antonio Valencia at the club.

Great going forward cant defend south american full of tattoos .............oh this shit is on

No ta. File with Henry, Di Maria etc.

Them runs beautiful runs along the north and south stand.

How would this improve the squad? He's going to be 32 and isn't going to want to sit on the bench, Rafael will be 25 and won't want to sit on the bench and so will probably ask to do one.

So rather than having a right back who counts as homegrown in Europe and could potentially play for the next 8 years we have a bloke who's never lived outside a latin country whose best years are behind him. If anything we could end up worse off,

£#%&! me

What does living in a Latin country have to do with anything?

Not speaking the language, the weather, the food. Plus Barcelona and Seville are two of the best cities in Europe, even as a Salfordian, Manchester and Salford are grey rainy shitholes.

But I forgot on here signing 32 year old ex worldies on the downslope is where it's at, proves we're a massive club signing Barcelona cast offs nqat, Ihbr :shakehead: etc etc. zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

If we paid a record transfer fee to sign Di Maria then I'm sure we'd take the small risk of old and slow Dani Alves. Are inter a small club for signing Vidic? Juve for signing Evra? There's South Americans that play in Russia, I'm sure a few could cope in Alderly Edge. Some @#%&! will probably compare him to Maicon as well.

Despite the incredible strength of competition, he's easily one of the biggest @#%&!s in world football.

2 red cards, one screamer, 35 shots from 30+ yards straight into the disabled section, several radio phone-ins about diving and a training ground fall out with Ched Evans.

Can't wait.

For a start who's to say di Maria won't see his arse with Manchester before the end of the year? For all you £#%&!ing know he could be on the phone crying to his agent every £#%&!ing night.

I just don't see the point of signing a 32 year old fullback on stupid wages when we have a 25 year old who is a good player. You sign a younger player as cover.
