TMWWBK 0 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Anyone see Dani Alves' performance at the weekend? Arguably the best player on the planet. There's so many good right backs out there just now, but he's just so, so far ahead of his peers at the minute. Even ahead of Maicon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I missed it but my mate was absolutely raving about it when I met him yesterday. Any time I have seen Alves though, he has been different class. Over 10 assists too, phenomenal return for a right back.

There were always a few kinks in his game that needed ironed out and Guardiola done just that. He's like Bosingwa with the heart of John Terry and the attacking nouse of Frank Lampard.

My mate who lives in Madrid hangs on his every word! Sid is probably joint top of my 'someone to go for a pint with' list, along with Tim Vickery. You won't meet a person with a more extensive knowledge of Real Oviedo than Sid. I know that many Spanish correspondants see him as an arrogant twat (his decision to break the Spanish Basketball Beijing Olympics 'slanty eye' scandal made him a lot of enemies), but i really like him. He has his finger on the pulse and he's also rich in knowledge when it comes to the history of Espana, in fact, i'm sure he done a PHD on the history of the Spanish Civil War. He's so much better than his contemporary Balague, who is now nothing more than a punditry version of Marca. He actually irratates me these days as you can tell how blatantly he seeks the 'shock' factor. Thankfully, he's treated with apathy and ridicule in most journalistic circles. But yeah, i actually admire Tim the Vickipedia. Viciously intelligent and scarily brilliant in general. It's ashame he's got so mainstream, but he deserves it. He makes South American football 'cool' and he's almost single-handedly gave birth to the online 'talent scout' generation. He's what every young sports journalist should aspire to be like (no pressure, PG ) and i personally wouldn't be surprised if his incredible reporting led to a knighthood one day.

papaguy51 941 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I really like Sid Lowe. Lowe and Tim Vickery are essential reading to keep up to date with Spanish/South American football Lowe was on the radio today talking about Florentino Perez and his latest claim that he will sign Messi from Barca if he's elected. Interesting stuff as per from Sid and he pretty much summed what we all know in as much that Perez is SO powerful that if he stands for election, there's no point in anyone else running against him.

TMWWBK 0 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Lowe was on the radio today talking about Florentino Perez and his latest claim that he will sign Messi from Barca if he's elected. Interesting stuff as per from Sid and he pretty much summed what we all know in as much that Perez is SO powerful that if he stands for election, there's no point in anyone else running against him. The impending arrival of Perez is one of the worst kept secrets in Spanish football. Lowe was pretty much spot on with that. What's funny is that one of his big promises is the £30M signing of Xabi Alonso. I like Xabi and he'd fit in well at Madrid, but he's also the same Xabi who Perez turned down the chance of signing for £12M when he was at Sociedad, instead opting to try and replace Makelele with Helguera, Cambiasso and then David Beckham. If ever there was an example of why he's not the full shilling, then that is it. His bias towards foreign players is ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the goal machine 7,989 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Real win again by beating Numancia 2-0 away with Raul and Robben scoring.

TMWWBK 0 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Is anyone going to dispute that after Ronaldo, Robben is the best winger in world football at the minute? For onlookers, think of the Robben that burst onto the scene at Chelsea, double his skill and end product and you have the current Robben. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For onlookers, think of the Robben that burst onto the scene at Chelsea, double his skill and end product and you have the current Robben. What about Messi? His goal against Numancia was really good, if he can stay injury free then he could be one of the best in the world. I just saw that Raul equalled Di Stefano's record tonight, some achievement.

For onlookers, think of the Robben that burst onto the scene at Chelsea, double his skill and end product and you have the current Robben. He might be on fire now, but we have to remember he's made of glass and he's likely to shatter at any given moment. When he's on form, he's something else though.
