David Alaba

Won't sign a contract with Bayern and will be available on a pre-contract in January.

Worth a punt? 28, slightly injury prone - absolutely world class on his day.

Is he a right back Bali ?

[southernboy]

The “slightly injury prone” bit puts me off, plus his wages.

Is he a right back Bali ?

Err... that's a tough question in all honesty, sky. He used to be the best left back in the world a few years ago - recently he's been used as a makeshift CB for Bayern when they had their injury crisis. For Austria he plays in CM iirc.

According to transfermarkt his games break down as follows:

LB: 242
CB: 92
CM: 36
LM: 17
DM: 6

Edit: Since 2010 he's apparently missed 80-ish games through injury... not great but also not awful.

Edit Edit: Yes, he'd be on laughable money. Think he wanted something in the region of 250-300kpw from Bayern - no way they'd pay that.

It's a mancity/utd/psg signing

we don't really need him

[Balinkay]

Yeah, think you put it well there, Kev. The thing is - at 28, he'd be a bloody good one. Let him go to PSG and rot there. I don't want him anywhere near Manchester.

Near is ok - just the other end of the east lancs road will do fine..

Errr... is that Leeds or something? I'm not that familiar with English geography. :D

Thanks Bali.

[Balinkay]

My pleasure, sky.

Cheers, Steveo!
