Re: Barcelona agree €14m deal to sign Alba

by harhar11 Thu Jun 28, 2012 4:24 pm

As I said, the player in question has said that everything that he has learn has come from Barca. I dont care what you think because when the player himself has admitted as much then I take his word over a madridistas word nor do I need to have watch his every development, as I think that he knows how he developed far more than me and you...

by teamanarchy Thu Jun 28, 2012 4:27 pm

Yup, he's gonna come back to the club and say to his fans,
"Actually, I don't consider myself an academy player. The time I spent here means nothing to me. I owe everything to the club I just left for a big pot of money..."

Well, he fooled you.
Good on him.

by harhar11 Thu Jun 28, 2012 4:29 pm

The thing is, he could have used the word alot instead of everything if he just wanted to be nice to his new fans...

Seems that you are really butthurt that he thinks that he learned everything he has knows from Barca Laughing

If he actually believes he has learned everything from Barca, then I would say he is an idiot..

But I don't think he does.

I'm so butthurt...
Meanwhile, guess who's been playing for (and learning from) Madrid since he was 18, and infinitely better than Alba...

While BTW this being his first time as a cemented starter for Spain in a major Tournament. Yea, he's been bad. What a joke.

I think there should be mandatory IQ tests for posters on this forum.

uhhmmm, did you watch Spain at all???

By FAR Spain's weakest link, all teams raped his side, it was as if he wasn't even a defender ffs

by kiranr Thu Jun 28, 2012 5:38 pm

This is a good signing from what i have seen in the Euros. He is a good player and a decent defender. So much better than some of the other LB options in the market definitely.

Let us see what he does for Barcelona now.

by Ganso Thu Jun 28, 2012 5:44 pm

not hating,but i think that Barca will struggle a lot with alba and alves as FBs.i expect a lot of goals to be conceded.the positive side about it is that it will be x100 times harder to park the bus with 2 attacking and creative FBs

Busquets can always drop back and cover for that and make it a 3 man defense in certain situations.

Didn't they agree a fee etc before?

by SuperMAG Thu Jun 28, 2012 5:51 pm

I think we payed too much for him.He has had a great tournament though although he hasn't really been tested on the defensive side and thats what is worrying me about him.

Croatia??? Italy??? partially Portugal???

there were plenty imo

by Onyx Thu Jun 28, 2012 6:11 pm

Thing with Barca is they press much better than Spain do, so there might not be as much defending for Alba.

by S32TABLANCA Thu Jun 28, 2012 6:41 pm

Jordi Alba is a good player, he has always performed with Spain but not always reached such levels for Valencia. I dont think him and Alves will work together in a 4 man backline at all.

He's not a product...

But we'll hear Barca fans go on about how they don't spend cash on players, like Madrid/City/Chelsea...
Because all of their starters are academy products...

Youre the one going there dude. While we're there, how much was Cacktrao, the world's most expensive LB??
On topic though, I'm really glad we signed Alba. He's young, done well in the Euro's and will only improve at Barca. Plus, We Got It 4 Cheap!!!!!!

by vivabarca38 Thu Jun 28, 2012 7:32 pm

He was awful against Italy okay.He was bad against Croatia but everyone was...He was great in the other 3 games though.

That was a rip off i have to agree, Mou used the excuse of him being versatile well he played like a nursery school player in those "versatile" positions of his

I blame Jorge Mendes, nearly all players he represents play for us not to mention including our coach

by Donuts Thu Jun 28, 2012 8:34 pm

for 15m it's a good buy, and those saying he played bad this tournament, really? I'm afraid I must be watching a different EURO 2012.

by Albiceleste Thu Jun 28, 2012 10:31 pm

Welcome Jordi :bow:

by CBarca Thu Jun 28, 2012 10:42 pm

This is one godawful thread.

Bickering about nothing lol...

Anyway, a decent signing. Would have preferred to get him at 10 million at least but oh well. Between Adriano and Alba we have 2 good attacking left backs that can certainly contribute to the attack.

Still doesn't fix the problem of height though :facepalm:
