Did the club make him say that?

I much prefer that to when they used to ask every single player how much they wanted to play with Terry & Lampard and then used that for their headline.

Welcome Marcos Alonso! 

Please hold down that LB for seasons to come and hopefully you can deliver consistent crosses that don't always hit the first man. Is it too much to ask? 

[Jase 43,479]

Seems like he can score a goal or two directly from free kicks. That's an added bonus.

That's our version of Liverpool and all their history nonsense.

I knew something fishy when every single signing made out that their idols were Terry and Lampard.

Welcome.

Please don't be shit.

The scenes on here when he starts alongside Ivanovic.

Maybe he forgot them in italy.

We are paying 7-8 mil. in bonuses. Which makes this a good deal. Happy with this. I;d prefer him to be a nothing special 6/10, than an inconsistent one, haha.

So some people are already saying he is not good enough, but some of them are the same people who believe Azpilicueta is a great player. If we compare Azpilicueta and Alonso's record before they were signed, there is no reason to not believe in some months people here will be calling Alonso one of the best in the position in Premier League and even in the world...

Lets be honest. He'll flop here, would've rather kept Baba. He's talented on the ball but he'll get exposed defensively by any top tier winger because he's as slow as snails.

Really uninspiring signing by the club.

He is physically suited to this league, which Baba isnt. I agree he'll probably be found out on a few occasions, but he have to hope this deal has ended Iva's days at RB. We need a FB that can ACTUALLY cross for once.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

I just hope he is quick enough to speed up our wing game. By that I dont mean how quick can he run, but how quick can he run with the ball.

Think he'll get games against the midtable teams but I'll be shocked if he starts against top tier teams. The likes of Sanchez, Mane, Sterling, Mkhitaryan, Lamela etc would abuse him 1v1 simply because he lacks the pace to cope. There's a dearth of wingers in Serie A so he didn't go against those sort of players every week.

I do agree he's our most talented fullback going forward although he isn't exactly a Marcelo in that aspect.

True. I expect us to line up with 3 at the back when Zouma is fully fit, so he's flaws won't be so evident against the better sides if Conte selects him in them.

This guy is better than Kenedy???

I fucking hope so!

Other than Azpi, name a single other fullback in the PL who can deal with the likes of Hazard, Sanchez, Sterling, or Mane. These are world class wingers who will have their way with any fullback in today's game.

Last season's best fullbacks were who, Rose, Bellarin, Walker, Fuchs? All bang average defensively and get shit on by the top players.

Also, Lamela? Really?  He's fucking trash. To mention him with those players? lol!
