Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 For everyone screaming "sign him" are you also of the same sort who say "play the youth"? We sign Rodriguez for 20m, we loaned out Baba who we spent 18m on. What happens to Aina throughout this process? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivanovic can't be a first choice, so if we sign Rodriguez, we have just Aina and Ivanovic as sub for these postions. That's really the minimum. So Aina has no problem to be included in the first squad and Conte could easily give him a chance. He has a big potential and I wish he will be our next Ash, but we can't just send the kid as a first choice for the whole season. He needs to progress step by step. When baba will come back next year(if we decide to keep him), Iva will probably go out. This season will be harder than last years, and we need guaranteed.

I'm not saying anything I'm only asking the questions here. What does signing Ricardo do for Aina? Ricardo is 23, if we sign him it clearly blocks Aina's progression into the first team, no?

RR starting LB Azpi starting RB Aina/Ivanovic backups His progression isnt blocked, it is more difficult and breeds competition which improves quality.

Okay so for you its "if he's good enough he will play" I'm of that same thought process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll don't have his place in strating XI in the short run, but he can easily progress like a second choice. A season means many games, so many possiblity to play, to prove in training. And everything happens fast in football, he could benefit from an injury or a bad series from Azpi/Rodriguez (or other). And in the long run, if he confirms his potential, no doubt he could be a master piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First choice players get the lion share of work and the back up gets maybe 5-10 games, is that enough for a young player to kick on and improve?

The youth thing is a problem because we want to play them but we get managers that are not good for that. If you want youth why go for Mourinho? If you want youth why go for Conte? You need managers like Pochetino or Bielsa that are known to bring youth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 If Aina is good enough he will eventually start games. The problem is not with bringing another fullback here, but rather the trust we have in Aina. If Conte believes in Aina, he will give him chances. If he doesnt believe, it wont matter if we have 1 or 10 fullbacks because in such case even Willian, Zouma etc will play ahead of Ain as auxillary players. but I think Conte will give Aina chance either way. So if RR comes, it wont stall the progress. On other hand, if Aina wont be good enough, he wont be good enough. No point in playing him in first if he wont deliver.

zekinjo 449 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Ghoulam Faouzi is a free agent next year and reports from Italy says that Conte wants him and vice verse. If this is true we're not going to see Ricardo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
