Our board seems to be completely clueless and Conte seems to know defenders only from the Serie A. Alonso is a decent player, but not Chelsea material in my opinion... People don't seem to have a very high opinion on Rodriguez here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've watched Bolton when he used to play for them and I remember him being average at best. I know he may have improved over the years but I really don't think he is top 4 material. Neither were Azpilicueta or Ivanovic when we signed them. He was very young when he played for Bolton. He was really good at Sunderland too and Sunderland fans wanted to sign him permanently. I am willing to keep faith in the boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Pretty optimistic about this signing. I actually have higher hopes for Alonso than I did for Baba and even Luis. That's not to say that he's a better player than Luis, but I think he's more equipped to succeed here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cripen 110 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I'm happy too. He's pretty good. His stats when he played for Sunderland was impressive. Tall, young, defo update on Iva. Looking forward too see him in blue shirt. Wysłane z mojego ALE-L21 przy użyciu Tapatalka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinAshburner 1,270 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 How about Chelsea FC buy 34 year old Xabi Alonso from Bayern Munich just to take the complete piss. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before this, he has been one of the best LBs, if not the best, in the Bundesliga. Futhermore with 24, he is still young but at the same time very experienced. Played a good European Championship too.

Tautvix 1,321 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Well I heard from friends in Italy (not fiorentina fans) that Alonso has made a huge improvement lately and is a great defender. Hopefully we find another Azpilicueta in him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 My Fiorentina supporting friend is astonished at the fee. Said he's not worth that fee at all. 10m player according to him. If Conte is going to give Hazard more freedom, you'd want a great defender behind him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DYC. 7,542 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Hope I'm completely wrong about him. Would be nice to finally have a good fullback in the team who offers good skill, clever use of the ball and provides an attacking threat.
