Honey Honey Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 So if I have got this right Man City have spent their entire Premier League TV revenue on full backs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Batard Posted July 22, 2017 Administrator Share Posted July 22, 2017 This transfer makes little sense to me. Danilo wants first team football for next years World Cup, with Walker obviously first choice in fee alone he's not going to be playing enough even with rotation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berserker Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 He was very good at Porto but completely useless for Madrid and he was easily their worst player in the last UCL, looked like a Ligue One player. Will be interesting to see which version of him City will get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBalon Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I can believe Pep Guardiola went for this in the end but I will believe anything when the story comes out in years to come that he literally signed anything that was possible. Danilo is sub standard! If he's a success at Man City then that's a bad sign for the standard in the Premier League. He is literally crap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dickie Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 27 mil for the Real Madrid's 3 string rb? Whenever Carvajal was injured they played Nacho at rb. Steal for RM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was really good at Santos and at Porto, and I guess this is what Guardiola sees in him. Also, he ´s versatile and I actually think he´s a better midfielder than a full-back. I wouldn´t pay what City is paying for him, but Guardiola´s interest in him is understandable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember saying back then on TFF that he looked brilliant and that Real Madrid had bought a great player when they paid so much money for him. But he got undermined by Carvajal. I actually think he got found out when going to the type of club that Real Madrid is. Let's see what happens with Guardiola handling him although Zidane is great with players in terms of characters and he couldn't do anything with him as Ancelotti couldn't either. Guardiola isn't afraid to leave you in the fridge if you get my meaning and he doesn't care if people criticise him for the player being his signing. I just think that this was a desperate signing after they missed out on Dani Alves who is the best right-back in the world by miles even now at his age.

From outside it´s impossible to explain or to understand what happened in Madrid, but I agree that he was terrible there. Perhaps, Pep thinks it´s only a matter of building his confidence back? I don´t know. It´s a bet and very expensive one, I wouldn´t pay that kind of price for Danilo but I understand the reasoning behind signing him.

I don't understand why they just didn't go for Mattia de Sciglio. At that price I would want more guarantees than what's on paper right now.

Machado Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 He was great for Porto against mediocre opposition to be fair. Not hating, but for me he never did anything worth of getting a transfer to Real Madrid. He's an interesting player but I'd expect more from a Real Madrid player, and even for today's Man City standards, he's not that great. Definitely a Guardiola type of player though. I understand what he sees in Danilo, but both Pep himself and the fans may end up disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted July 24, 2017 Author Subscriber Share Posted July 24, 2017 No coincidence that 90% Of them are Spanish or South American. His transfer philosophy is about as predictable as his tactical philosophy . Seriously though, they need to win big to justify these outlays and he'll be gone with a severely damaged reputation if City don't make a significant step forward this season.

Happy Blue Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Looks like he's going to be used in midfield (cover for Gundogan) and cover for both fullback postion's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
