Marcelo - Worth it or not?

I would buy him. He is backup left back to Riise for my Liverpool team but I bought him and then discovered to my pleasure that he is a Wonderkid. Scored an overhead kick on his debut and has been very steady ever since, he will soon be ousting Riise at this rate

i would get him! but defensively hes abit suspect, however hes only young and has alot of potential and to me 5mill for a potentially world class left back/ left mid sounds good

I bought him as Barca to cover Ronaldinho. It was a great deal and after one year, his value went up to 9 million.

I have him, but make him play in ATM, he will bang em in left and right.

Exactly. He is the best left winger in the game as far as I can tell. 20+ assists every season (and I have him splitting time with Robben).

Yes, left winger hes a god. I was gonna use him in rotation but hes just to much of a god that i use him all the time now.

If Clichy is injured, I strongly suggest that you give Armand Traore a go. He's a great little player will all the potential in the world. Give him a go in the not-so-difficult matches. If you have any big matches coming up, play Gallas at LB as he's great there as well. You can play Toure and Senderos (or some other CB you might have bought) in the centre.

And if you plan to play him as LAM, then forget about it because Matias Fernandez is 10 times better (albeit about 4M costlier) and you have Rosicky there as well who's immense.

So, even though Marcelo is a good player, you dont really need to spend your money on him especially since he demands outrageous salaries and a very small contract.

Asked for £16,750 a week from me and a contract till 2012 starting in 2008. He tears up right backs and puts in crosses all over the place.

That's a good deal for him. Buy him and watch him tear up the left flank.

You'd probably want to loan out Traore now.

Probably in 2008 he'll ask for less. Thats probably because he's not a first-term regular at Madrid ahead of Drenthe. The orginal poster said that he's asking for very high wages and he did the same when I tried to sign him. I canceled the offer. The little tit is certainly not going to earn more than Fabregas and RVP at Arsenal!!! Anyway, in my game, he IS a first-term regular unfortunately. And they offered him a new contract with a 30M+ release clause. Would have been nice at 5.5M and 18K wages though!!
