I'm Lyon in my 1st season, nearly January.

D.Alves was unsettled near the start of the season, and is now t.listed. A lot of clubs are after him.

I have £20M transfer fees and I can get him for 18.25. I will have to pay him 74K p/w.

The problem is, my RB Clerc has the highest AR in my team after Fernandez. He has played 28, assisted 12, AR 7.50. Both Clerc and Alves are 24 y.o.

Should I buy Alves, even though Clerc has been great so far?

Barnetboyz

that is a great deal for him, would stick him on teh wing if he can't dislodge Clerc

You can never go wrong with Alves mate. I'd say get him. Its not even certain that he'll come to you tbh. If the big teams from England, Italy & Spain make a bid, he'll most probably go to them instead of coming to France. But yeah, definitely try.

If I should definately buy him, I'll offer more as a signing on fee, and on his bonus'.

He's always been great for me when I bought him with Barca. But should I sell Clerc then? Or use him rotationally?

Barnetboyz, I have Keita and Govou fighting for the right wing already :/

Barnetboyz

ahh, see for my Lyon team Keita plays on the left and Govou (the big money wasting bast) is waiting until he leaves in janaury

I was happy when I got him for 30M, that's a bargain!

teeyougee

Ah, no I play Ben Arfa on the left. Even though he isn't ready yet he's been performing well.

Hmm, true I usually have to pay over 30M to ge him.

I guess I gotta definately try get Alves then.

Thanks everyone!

Evon

Deal. He's been fffffb in the 10 or so games I've played him. Consistently great. All for only £16m.

teeyougee

Nice.

Well I know he's a great player. But like I said, Clerc has been perfect so far with 12 assists in 28 matches, as a RB.

Wasn't sure if it'd be a wise decision to replace him when he's performing so well.
