Serious question - why TF Barcelona wants to buy Alonso?

Why would we splash huge money on LB when we have Chilwell? Not to mention none of Ben and Theo would like to be a backup, it's not FM

wrong quote mate

Assuming Mount, Lukaku, Werner and Kova are still out: Mendy Chalobah AC Rudi James Jorginho Kante(RLC if Kante not fit) Chilwell Ziyech Havertz CHO

Charlie Musonda confirmed he is leaving at the end of the season. Good luck for him. One deadwood less on the books. https://www.instagram.com/p/CV0wTDztvVR/

He confirmed he is leaving as free agent at the end of the season. Good luck for him.

Don't drink and post

RLC-CHO confussion

Kepa Chalobah-AC-Sarr Azpi RLC Jorginho Alonso Ziyech Havertz CHO With Barkley, Saul, maybe Pulisic (considering his fitness) and Vale coming on second half

watch TT starting Mount/Havertz/Ziyech next game

What about Ismail Sarr? I think he is more interesting prospect than Lozano

With Rudi, James and Silva propably out our defense will look like that: Alonso/Chillwell - Chalobah, AC, Azpi - CHO with Sarr our backup CB, interesting.

Personally I would start Timo also ahead of out of form Mount and Havertz.

This is what I noticed - people were shiting in match threads on CHO (who wasn't so good also) yet Chillwel not doing much all game is geting a pass.

Problem with him is that he hasn't became bambi on ice when you took him out of s spanish team - accroding to even Atletico fans, he was very poor for 2 seasons already.

No way Jorgi will be left out, pretty sure our squad will be like: ----------------Mendy/Kepa----------- -----AC---------Thiago---------Toni--- Azpi---------Jorgi--------Kova------Alonso -------Kante-------------------???-------- -------------------Rom----------------------- where ??? will be Mount, Havertz or Timo.

Some tough choices for Tuchel: all five CBs are deserving a start, Chalobah is last in hierarchy so, Rudi is locked on as LCB, so there will be 2 of Silva, AC and Azpi. Wouldn't surprise me if we will see Rudi - Silva - AC and Azpi as RWB Alonso will propably start as Chilly and Chilly will get a start vs Villa Jorginho-Kovacic are pretty match sure unless Kante makes some miracolous recovery Lukaku will start and... Havertz, Ziyech and Mount are poor/average so far, Pulisic injured, Werner is not trusted.. I have no idea who will be the 2 to start here

Rumors of RLC going on loan to Roma with option to buy.

No, they have money, but they preferred to be cautious with it because they were saving for Mbappe and Haaland next season. Don't know why they decided to go all out this season.

They are not financial wreck, where do you get that from?

Not an issue at all. So far our squad is made by just 22 players: GK: Mendy, Kepa, Bettinelli (HG) LWB: Chilwell (HG) , Alonso RWB: James (HG) , CHO (U21) CB: Rudiger, Zouma(Kounde), Christensen (HG), Silva, Azpilicueta, Chalobah (HG) CM: Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic AM/CF: Mount (HG), Lukaku (HG), Havertz, Pulisic, Ziyech, Werner NonHG - 14 HG - 7 U21 - 1 So we have 21 players who are not U21, we can still add 3 nonHG and one HG to the squad (of course we can also add 4 HG players and 0 nonHG). Saul is obviously nonHG, RLC is HG. Ampadu and Anjorin are still U21. For CL is very similar, because out of these 7 HG, only 3 are FA trained (and 4 are club trained).

hah how did i miss that...

So, current situation with players: 1st team players (Azpi, James, CHO positions are of course fluid): GK: Mendy, Kepa, Bettinelli LWB: Chilwell, Alonso RWB: James, CHO CB: Rudiger, Zouma, Christensen, Silva, Azpilicueta, Chalobah CM: Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic AM/CF: Mount, Lukaku, Havertz, Pulisic, Ziyech, Werner Out of these players there are still 2 uncertanities: Zouma, Chalobah - of course much depending on Kounde signing. Players who might end up with some role with 1st team: Ruben Loftus-Cheek Ethan Ampadu Faustino Anjorin With covid and rumored new CM it's hard to predict what are current status of these 3. Players who were part of 1st team preparation but wasn't part of the official games and most propably won't be part of 1st team: Lucas Bergstrom (GK) Abdul Rahman Baba Malang Sarr Jake Clarke-Salter Dujon Sterling Davide Zappacosta Ross Barkley Danny Drinkwater Tiemoué Bakayoko Lewis Baker Charly Musonda Ike Ugbo Out of these players Zappa and Ugbo are basically sold, Bakayoko propably will be loaned out, Bergstrom will propably stay with DEV team. That still leaves us with 8 players that has nothing to do, and with no rumors of any clubs being interested in them (maybe 7 if Musonda is still not match fit). Edit: Emerson is already loaned out

From what I read from Atletico fans he was really bad in last 2 seasons, and some may think that change of scenery might help him restart his carrer - in that case they could ask for much more money then they will get for him now.

Yeah, and out of players not in 1st team there are only specific rumors of moves for Zappacosta and Bakayoko 😕
