Not top opponents but in the last 11 games they only conceded 2 goals. And we did not score against them in two PL games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milka 3,393 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Alaba playing new CB role . - Chilwell - too overpriced - Alex Sandro - declining - Tagliafico - good option - Grimaldo - good young option too - Gosens - ??? - Marcelo - why not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wan-Bissaka only one noteworthy however he is appalling in the final third. 5 minutes ago, NikkiCFC said: I think we will get Chilwell 85% or Alaba 15%. Unless Leicester drop their asking price by about 50% no way will the board go for him and rightly so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never believed quoted 80m price tag. I expect something between 40-50m. This is the price nowadays for FBs... Cancelo, F. Mendy, B. Mendy...

milka 3,393 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Chelsea looking at Ajax left back Nicolas Tagliafico as a cheaper option to Ben Chilwell. They've been told they could sign Tagliafico for £22.4m in the next window. He wants to move to England and Chelsea made checks on him before the suspension of football. - Telegraph killer1257 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoroccanBlue 5,382 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I wonder if the Tagliafico rumors are our own doing in an attempt to lower Chilwell's asking price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either doesn't really bode well. The first is yet another small/lightweight player to go into a squad that is really too small and lightweight and the second is bang average and will be over priced no matter what as he is English.

To be fairly honest I would much rather have my full backs small, quick and technical vs broad and strong. Give me a Dani Alves type over an Ivanovic/Azpilicueta type any day. Especially with the way football is evolving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me a Dani Alves type over an Ivanovic/Azpilicueta type any day. Especially with the way football is evolving. I would agree normally but look at the rest of the squad. It is really small and lightweight. That is the reason why so many mid table teams have been able to roll us over as they just bully us. We are quickly becoming like Wenger's Le Arse in the second half of his time there. If we go out and start buying players like SMS, Oblak, Mahgalhaes, Harvetz etc, then sure small technical FB's aren't a problem. However when your GK is 6'1 with weak t-rex arms, your three main CM's are 5'9 (Jorgi), 5'8 (Kova) and 5'5 (Kante) and all lightweight and your CB's are 6'0/slight (Tomori) 6'2/ Slight (AC), 6'1"/average (Rudi) and 6'3/stocky (Zouma), you have a problem.

That Pep Barca team is my first association when we speak about lightweight and short teams. Valdes 183cm, Mascherano as CB 174cm. Puyol also just 178cm. Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, Villa, Alves, Pedro, Adriano all so small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference is we are not Barca, so no La Liga teams to play against week in, week out and no refs on our side. Apples and oranges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
