Ohhh Mmm Ahhh More Versatile Than A Vienna Sausage - Austrian Distraction David Alaba Thread

I never cared for that stuff either, it's just a number.

 

After Lassana wore 10 and Mariano wore 7 we can't complain about who gets what number.

 

1417819159199682561 is not a valid tweet id

 

Even then not sure what was the point of complaining

 

My second favourite Bayern player since I’ve started watching football, Alaba has always been a really cool player.

Second only to Kroos. Bayern insist on doing us a solid

 

Alaba is a leader and Militao also showed leadership qualities last season. Excited about that pairing.

 

Wish they'd gift us Kimmich too though I will settle for Goretzka on a free transfer too.

 

I really wanted Lewa before he renewed again.

Kimmich is a standout player for me (not that Goretzka isn’t), he’s got that leadership/mentality of a bastard and a winner. Very welcomed in Madrid for me.

 

Not what the media are making out.

“Players too scared to take the 4 shirt”. Lol.

 

4L4B4 looks like a boss! Big fan of the guy, hope he has a stellar stint here.

Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Mendy looks so good on paper. May injuries give us a rest this season.

 

Alaba looking sharp! So excited to see him play for us.

Must be a cultural thing because the English headline by the same writer is quite different and less "controversial".

 

It always looks strange seeing a player who had been at one club for such a long time in another continental rivals kit. Will take a little getting used to.

David going for that swift badge kiss I see

 

in with the Jack Nicholson gif

 

Very nice. A picture with the new captain and manager. Positive vibes!!!

 

The no.4 has gone from Hierro > Ramos > Alaba. #respect

What happened with the no. 7 is an absolute travesty, at least with Mariano there was a warm body under the shirt but Hazard has left it stretched out with a funny pear shape.

And the Lass as a #10 at Madrid is facepalm worthy. Flo dropped Sneijder with the quickness and gave the number to Diarra only to see Sneijder play the best season of his career and win the CL in the Bernabeu.

 

I wasn't excited for this transfer but i'm getting happier by the day that we signed him, very likeable and professional guy. @Digital is it too late to buy some Alaba stocks? lol

 

Looks like he was playing the equivalent of a LCB position in that small training match with Marcelo to his left.

 

Yep he is, every report about where he'd play have indicated that's where.
