good timing for us. he probably won't start on sunday
we could have had him for 12 million last year but the board squabbled over 2 million after offering 10
chelsea's one weak position is now sorted and sorted in some style. they are now a very scary team

what does that say about the
"El Chelsea cierra los flecos del fichaje de Alves en Madrid"
article in the Real thread? (would be very happy if someone could give a brief summary)

very very very odd choice for Chelsea.. IMO Alves seems pretty much the opposite of a Chelsea defender. Not too strong defensively, but loves to dictate play and is basically all over the pitch: central midfield, support striker, striker, left midfield, right wing. Just doesn't seem tactically disciplined enough.

It was just saying that Kenyon met with officials from Sevilla in Madrid to finalize the deal. And then it also mentioned Robben going to Madrid after the Alves deal was done and the possibility of Cicinho ending up in Sevilla.

if we had signed alves i would have understood that cicinho going to sevilla but surely he will leave for roma. unless you mean that some agreement has been made between all 3 clubs to help different transfers.

I think the implication is that Sevilla will now need a replacement for Alves so Cicinho is the first choice.

Cicinho can't defend.. they are better off not getting him.

That's a good point. I think that for Alves this isn't a very good career choice. His football will suffer from the restraints that Mourinho will put on him.
But for Chelsea, this is a great move. He's easily one of the best fullbacks in the world and he's on a different planet than Ferreira when it comes to quality.

But, yeah, this could really push him towards Sevilla.

According to Marca, the negotiations with Roma broke down yesterday. Roma wanted a one year loan with an option to buy but Real Madrid only want to sell.

Not too pleased with this. He's better than what we have now, but I don't rate him very highly.

I do, but he may not be the type of RB you need, if you buy him for that position that is. Alves is too attacking for the RB position in a 4-3-3. In a 4-4-2, he can be immense though.
It remains to be seen if he can be as effective in the EPL though.

I don't agree with all this talk he isn't suited
What are chelsea's weaknesses ???
The answer is attack, width and creativity
Alves will add all of this
What is chelsea's strength ???
Defensive stability. they still have 3/4 brilliant centre backs and excellent defensive midfielders. Alves is no worse defensively than anything chelsea have had over the past few years at right back
This move is EXACTLY what chelsea required

Of course Chelsea can give him more than enough defensive cover, in the right system (4-4-2 IMHO). However, it remains to be seen if Alves can be as effective in England as he was in Spain. He may not get that much space on the island, space he needs. Not even mentioning the much more physical nature of the game.

I think Chelsea's only real weakness was Glenn Johnson. They have addressed that it seems.

In fairness if we play like:
-----------------------Cech
Alves--------Carvalho-------Terry--------A.Cole
J.Cole---------Essien---------Mikel-------Malouda
------------Shevchenko------Drogba
It would be amazing.
Alves can overlap on the right, whilst J.Cole tends to cut inside. On the left Malouda is an out-and-out winger so he can provide the width there, whilst the defensively excellent and offensively poor A.Cole tends to stay back - when necessary tucking in to form the 3 man defence while Alves is rampaging. The central midfield is very solid defensively and offers some drive through Essien and tempo dictation from Mikel.
Shame we will never play like this.
Maybe Alves can take our free-kicks though, we desperately need someone who can.

Dani Alves should definitely take free kicks. See this clip @ 0:50 for my favorite...

You have Lampard, you don't need anyone else 
Easily the best free kick taker in England, he has Accuracy, curl, power, even lucky deflections

Good signing for Chelsea - was the one weak area of their squad. Alves is a vast improvement, and young!
Should also fit well into Chelsea's new attacking style

not sure about that. sevilla want to buy cicinho or Nelson from benfica. but i think he can his place in the team from them because alves was a player that was key and one of the few who didnt get rotated that much. that will prob change now so hinkel should get a chance to prove his worth.entarteter Otto wrote:does that mean Hinkel will now become a regular
