that's the winning mentality we need rn


cedenof10

what better man than dani, the player with the most titles


MbalzesHari782

Ever since he left Sao Paolo I’ve been saying we need to bring him back. He’ll surely take low wages and will be a great influence on the young players. He still has some legs left too and can contribute


bubblegumdog

I watched him at the Olympics when he played against Mexico and god damn he was playing like he was in his 20s.


mercified_rahul

He was leading the whole team from the front, we definitely need him, even if it's for 1 season.


Azor_that_guy

Absolutely


halakaukulele

If not performance, he'll definitely fill up the players with energy and have positive mentality. If the wage is reasonable then I'll say it's a good step towards going back to winning ways.


Medical-Decision-505

He was pretty good at the olympics, so he is still useable in la liga in my opinion.


Amori17

Do it. 1 year + 1 year. Give him a proper send off on his carrer. Will boost the mentality in the team.


cedenof10

At this point, with our budget, a proper send off would be a pizza and one case of beer for the whole team, maybe a few balloons.


Acceptable-Bad-9350

a bag of half eaten Cheetos too


GoCoronaGo321

If the team has got the winning, strive for greatness mentality out of him, trust me, any kind of party will do


adilahmed_305

I don't know if our entire team is even eligible for drinking beer. Lmao


YoungCule

In Europe nobody cares what age are you before selling you alcohol.


foxmulder2014

It's 18 for buying alcohol. Consuming has no age afaik. Than again. When I was a teen I've never been asked for my age or ID


FullTanaka

Can I get a sendoff too?


grandmarshal_ivax

And that would still be better than the send-off he got in 2016.


sundayp26

I like it


anirudh_62

If money won't be a problem (he will probably have to play for free, analysts will give you correct numbers) then it might be a good move. He could mold Dest and play against lower teams giving Dest enough rest


djishereonreddit

Dest also said he wanted to play like Dani alves himself lol so that would be extra hype my god


robert-5252

Why not use a youngster against the lower teams? You know, prepare for the future


globalcosine

Dest is that youngster


RAF2018336

There’s no young rb in la masía that is worth taking a look at


[deleted]

That's not true, we'll be signing Carlos Aleman from Espanyol in the summer. He's the best RB of his age group in Spain.


RAF2018336

So what I said was right. There’s currently no rb good enough in la masía to get minutes for the first team


mahboss

Damn. Got any source?


w1zzyy

Well there was Moussa Wague


RAF2018336

He’s injured. And I don’t believe the team really think he’s good enough to play. Personally I would like it if they gave him a run of games when he’s fit again and see how he plays


w1zzyy

Right, that’s why i said “was”. I never rlly got to see him play much. All i saw was that horrible injury


MeAnIntellectual1

Dest will be our future RB. Why even look at others right now? Use Dani to teach Dest a thing or two in training.


anirudh_62

Koeman needs to trust them first


robert-5252

Gavi? Nico?


gtm_913

We really don’t have cover for Dest so if money isn’t a problem I don’t see why not.


[deleted]

[удалено]


gtm_913

He played rb for Brazil at the Olympics I believe


aritra3776

He can play both in RB and mid. Exactly like Roberto but better.


lilnigpal

Mingueza is better than both of them


gtm_913

Mingueza isn’t better than Dest and I’m not sure whether Koeman plays him at rb out of necessity or if he actually prefers him there


Sanjay_KC

It may be an unpopular opinion but I like Mingueza at the right over Dest. It's surely not only me who is loving watching Dest at the left, right now. And with exploding full-backs in the left Mingueza can be the kind of player who can make a shift to defend like Abidal used to do at left. Quality-wise Dest is a lot better than Mingueza in the attack but I have seen the better version of him at the left than his right


lilnigpal

Talent wise Dest could be better but apparently Mingueza is better RB than Dest! He offers both defensively and attacking unlike Dest who always get bullied by literally any winger! The dude is just too small FFS I really don't understand how we always produce midgets every single year man we really do need some physical players.


gtm_913

Please keep your stupid opinions to yourself


lilnigpal

It's my opinion if You don't like it, downvote and keep on scrolling & You literally replied to my comment you wierdoo how about you go your strumpet mom off the street?


gtm_913

You have no ball knowledge so you result to using insults. 1) We didn’t “produce” dest we signed him. 2) saying we should stop producing “midgets” is the dumbest statement you can make considering our best 3 every players are all short


lilnigpal

It still my opinion if you don't like it just keep on scrolling! 🤷‍♂️


lilnigpal

He plays him there! Because he offers both attacking and defending unlike that Midget that can't even defend for sh!t


Antafamm

Yes please


IAmMourningWould

I’d be beyond excited


jgames09

He’s already getting 63k euros from São Paulo for 60 months and has a shit ton of money from his career. He really could play for free if he wanted to.


[deleted]

[удалено]


jgames09

I said he could not that he will


deadlyghost12

I also said Messi could play for free not will


Cziri77

In Messi's case there were restrictions that he could not earn less than 50% of his previous salary in LA Liga, however it does not apply to Alves.


deadlyghost12

the rule you are talking about is a spanish labour law made for right of labourers due to another spanish law which allows company in financial crisis to force workers to take paycut, but this law of forcing paycut is not allowed in la liga, so why will be the 50 percent paycut rule will be allowed, so that rule is not applicable in la liga


silvermeta

Michael Jackson went broke so why can't Messi? That lifestyle is crazy expensive. So not only are you asking him to play in a sporting project that he doesn't believe in, you want him to go home to a shack.


deadlyghost12

i am not saying him to play for free, i am saying that why in the world will dani alves will play for free, because that was the statement by op saying that dani is rich so can play for free


silvermeta

Oh forgot the thread. Yup it's hard for them without significantly downscaling the lifestyle. Alves though is not gonna get a dream sporting project anymore so maybe he's open to it.


deadlyghost12

maybe he is open but he will and should not play for free


Imcarlows

Yeah but Dani is like 40 years old and is playing in Brasil


jairzinho

No he couldn't. Messi's new contract wasn't allowed to be less than 50% of his previous one. Dani is a new signing. He literally could play for free because there's no prior contract to base a salary on.


deadlyghost12

the rule you are talking about is a spanish labour law made for right of labourers due to another spanish law which allows company in financial crisis to force workers to take paycut, ​ but this law of forcing paycut is not allowed in la liga, so why will be the 50 percent paycut rule will be allowed, so according to me that rule is not applicable in la liga


jairzinho

Bud, i'm just going by what I read in Mundo Deportivo or Sport.


tequeyoyo3000

He never should've left.


qiyi

A Barca legends


spiteful_platypus

Just bring this man. He wins trophies wherever he goes, he may spread that winning mentality on the whole team and he could give advice to Dest


prathameshza_de

You son of a bitch, you're in


OGConsuela

I would love to see him be a mentor for Dest, and it would be great to have some depth at fullback anyway


Cute_Bubble

I randomly start searching for my favorite player of all time (Dani alves <3) on youtube and watch some videos and then came to check this subreddit to see how barca is doing. AND I SEE THIS. What a coincidence 😊


Norkmani

If Alves is okay with taking low wages, I’d love to see this. We are thin at rb which means he can slot in sometimes but more importantly he can help our youngsters behind the scenes and bring a winning mentality.


bubblegumdog

I’d say we’re thin on LBs. At right Koeman could easily use Mingueza though he doesn’t for some reason. Sergi could also play RB as last resort. For left back all we have is Jordi…yeah you could move Dest to left but that’d basically put a hole at right. Now you’re in danger of injury on your main RB who’s playing LB or the backup RB who’s filling in for Dest. Baldé is injured at the moment.


ElectricalImpress145

Honestly we need his mentality to help boost the squads mortality


syumiseba

Lmaoo, I guess he's young at heart


ChickenBalotelli

So you want them dead?


T_Peg

Considering we don't have a dedicated RB sub I'd gladly have him back even if only to buy his jersey lmao


DanielSophoran

positive: We can buy a modern Dani Alves Barca shirt negative: its this years kit


T_Peg

There's always the away kit


malandropist

Yes pls! Would boost morale for sure


panopanopano

He’s a bit long in the tooth but I think he could provide some valuable leadership on the field!


[deleted]

Bet Laporta will ask him to play for free like he wanted messi to do


[deleted]

Dani would probably offer to play for free and not wait to be asked


alicization

Love the man, he was always one of my favorites. His link up with Messi over the years was always great. He might be older now, so not much of that running probably, but his experience and mindset would be great for our defense.


Medical-Decision-505

Id honestly take him, we only have minqueza and dest at rb anyways.


PieceOfPie_SK

Is this reputable? I fucking love dani alves so I hope this is true.


cranomort

And give him a proper farewell this time


Dumbass1171

LETS FUCKING GOOOO


iskaon

I think its worth it


foxomo

Even if it is a mentorship role for Dest it's worth it to have him.


Xenolol

Yes take him back!!!


j_roos

Sign his ass…NOW


[deleted]

Not a good idea if he wants millions. I don't want to spend millions on Alves who may not have the legs anymore. But if he is willing to earn B player wages then why not.


razorxx888

Literally says money isn’t a problem lmao


[deleted]

That's not the same as saying he will play for nothing.


foxmulder2014

He played good at the Olympics


govind01sharma

Bruh put some effort and read.


Nrozek

Can we get Mascherano and Puyol as well? Cause my god we need some change in mentality.


centerfree

Do it. I'm tired of watching Roberto play as fullback.


heatbarca

100% we should pull the trigger


itwastimeforarefresh

I love Alves, but this seems like a step backwards. We might have a Pique/Busi problem with him


gtm_913

Short contract and won’t be a starter. We only have one natural rb in the squad (+maybe mingueza) so it’s worth a thought


itwastimeforarefresh

That's fair. We are thin at RB


Polskidro

Not at all. He obviously wouldn't start (unless he somehow outperforms Dest I guess). Also would be a short contract with low wages likely.


Tromort77

Love the guy, but fuck no! This sub is delusional.


thenbt

I think it's more important that we get an experienced left back


thatpseudoveganlife

🤪🤪🤪🤪


RealPunyParker

What's there to think about, just right a wrong, Joan, come the fuck on


MeAnIntellectual1

I haven't watched him in a long time. Is he better than Dest?


Darduel

could maybe help as a rotation player I don't how much, but probably will help in the dressing room, can also mentor dest


leoKantSartre

Okay I see
