Manchester1989Utd:Dani Aleves leaving Barca, I highly doubt it, he's arguably the best RB in world football. If Barca get Bale in summer and get him doing a similar job at LB to Dani Alves, and a new CB to replace Puyol when he steps down they will be back on top next season
Best RB in world football? Are you kidding me? He is a good player but tbh he is better going forward then defending. He cannot defend well at all and at times when teams counter against Barca its the right side which is vunerable as Alves ends up going missing...
Just watch the Chelsea match and watch what side most of their sucessful counters came from, hell the Torres goal resulted from a counter on the side in which Alves should have been covering.
The only reason Barca have a good record is because not many of the smaller Spanish teams have the guts or the nerve to counter and try attack Barca. Most of them sit back and just let Barca dictate the play. In all the games where Barca have struggled, Alves at times has been a weak link. Same with the Lb position, not the strongest defensively. Their two CBs are world class but Barca's main form of defence is through attacking and just keeping possesion.
