Tactically? Physically? Alonso is most of time out of his position,has trouble to get back in his position after our attacks his crosses are not good while on the other side we have Telles who is just as good in attack as is Sandro and his defence can be worked on.
Mistakes happen him getting a red card means nothing also at this points even Messi would fail at Inter that's how bad they are but still my question was to give me one reason why Alonso is better than Telles.
I'm not saying Alonso is bad i was the only one last summer who said that he was going to be a good signing but still Alex Sandro and Telles are better.
Ake has been sold to develop properly and come back one day. Rudiger has more experience and will improve us immediately it's someone that Conte wants.
Honestly if we don't sign him this week then we should just move on and sign Telles. We need to focus on other targets with Caballero,Rudiger and Bakayoko done deals we need to sign another CB,CM,ST and if possible a RWB.
