I'm with you there. I hope he remembers his great spell in the Bundesliga and wants to return and of course the prefers a move to a club with a Spanish manager, so that he'd feel at home from the first moment on.Also, hope they seel Carvajal for the same chemistry which @Balu was talking about
We have more Spaniards in our squad than yours. Also, Pep won't stick around for too long. I am sure he wants to experience a new culture, having already played in Germany
how good is Danilo and what kind of fullback is he?
Carvajal is fantastic. I simply dont understand this transfer.
Really? I count four at United (De Gea, Valdes, Herrera, Mata) vs five at Bayern (Bernat, Alonso, Martinez, Thiago, Reina). We winWe have more Spaniards in our squad than yours.

Plus the culture thing cannot be just brushed away Some reports say they bought him just to stop Barca from doing so. Unlikely but ya never know.
I can use Danilo´s own words to answer that. According to Danilo he´s part Maicon, part Gilberto Silva. The Maicon part is regarding his physical caractheristics and pace. The Gilberto part is regarding his atitude and mental strenght where he survives adversity when things don´t go well. His Santos and Porto careers didn´t start very well. I remember Porto fans criticizing him and calling him a flop because he cost 11 million euros and didn´t play well in the begining of his Porto career. In my assessment he is a good rb. He isn´t just your typical full back that goes to the line and crosses. He wanders near the box and likes to score. He can shoot well from distance either with his right or left foot. Physically very strong he can hold his own attacking and defending wise as he goes up and down multiple times in his flank. Has good caracther (is one of Porto captains) and work rate.
I just don´t understand the timing of the deal and the values. Porto is still in the Champions League and fighting for the League. Let´s see if he remains focused. Danilo only had one more year of contract and buying him for 31 millions seems odd. There are rumours that Porto will also get Lucas Silva loaned because Casemiro will return to Madrid. They are hoping Lucas Silva loan has the same effect as the Casemiro deal.
cheers. That sounds really promising but I still dont get it. Spending 31m on a may-be upgrade is just weird, especially when the alternatives is a young Spaniard. If carvajal is available various clubs will be all over him. He´d be a starter for Bayern, United and Chelsea.
He'd be a starter for every team in Europe I believe.
You reckon he's start ahead of Ivanovic?
yep. I agree.
I think so. He is a industrious worker and extremely aggressive (in a good way). He usually plays like he is fighting for his life. Mou would certainly like that.

Not for Mourinho.
He's so much better than Ivanovic it's not even funny.
Don't even know why they would buy Danilo at the quoted price while adding competition to Carvajal who is fantastic and Arbeloa who's already an ok backup. They should probably sell one but I can't see both Carvajal and Danilo fighting it out. I'd definitely want Carvajal.
Teams are announcing signings on April 1st now?
Carvahal must be the best right back in the game after lahm (if he's a right back and at his best). doubt madrid would sell.
what happened to alaba?
2 months out
I doubt he is available Danilo is probably Arbeola's replacement not Carvajal's
He's a midfielder, when he's not injured.
Danilo is a great player (I read some comparison with Maicon)but I don't understand why they paid so much.Madrid wants two good players for the position since Arbeloa is leaving this summer.I hope that this won't stop the progression of Carvajal
Do you always speak about yourself in 3rd person?
Hehe,I have just been promoted and now this project of Maicon comes to annoy me...I wanted to use my minute of glory
Why does anyone think that Carvajal is 1/ Available 2/ Coming here ?
Same reason they think De Gea is heading there?
I'd settle for Daniel Alves even if he's in his 30s. He has that passion and drive to bring the ball into the final third and can you get the odd goal. Valencia is on form at the moment and might be better defensively but if we are going to play 4,3,3 formation next season, then you need your fullbacks to give you that width on the flanks. I'm just not convinced Valencia is brave enough to take those risks when going forward. I wouldn't even think its necessary to buy a fullback in the summer had Rafael stayed clear of injury.
They think a club can not have two good RBs
Carvajal would be a great buy for us but he's drank a lot of Real Madrid Kool Aid, you can bet he's honoured to warm his arse on their bench.
This, of every club in the world, Madrid are perhaps the one who benefit from the FFP as much as United and can spend as they please.
Considering barca have a transfer ban that would be a crazy reason to buy him
Carvajal's gilfriend lives in Manchester?
I dont expect Carvajal to leave. He has a good chance of winning the battle against Danilo. If he loses out, we should be all over him.
Madrid just spent 30m euros on one of the most promising right backs around who is already a very good player, they aren't going to bench him. Both are the same age too. They aren't going to actively sell him, but if a good offer comes in I'm sure they'll let go.
Would be great if we could get him anyways.
Ivanovic isn't that great really, he's good going forward and probably the best right back in the league (as most are pretty shit really) but positionally and defensively he's not that good... Always feel like he gets overrated because he's a great goalscorer for a defender. Carvajal is a better player all round IMO>
He's a much better right back.
Carvalaj is better than Ivanovic imo, and he'd be the best right back in the league if he played in England.
The right side of our 4-3-3 having Herrera, Carvalaj and Mata would be sweet.

Forgive my ignorance, I haven't seen Bayern all year, but isn't Alaba your left back?
