I mean, ok, we can critisize him but still he managed to win PL as a startin 11 member and get into the PFA toty in a shit team, so he doesnt lack pace that much.. If his pace is ok for a lwb his pace might be just fine for a cb. Belgiannutt, 11Drogba, The Skipper and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any striker with the tiniest of pace would be able to get the better of him.  1 hour ago, Belgiannutt said: Alonso at LCB ?  I really hope you people are on crack.  Just worth a shout maybe. Who knows. Barcelona are apparently interested in him and I doubt they'd want to play him as a LB considering his lack of pace and level of quality in comparison to Jordi Alba.... Although it could be a bullshit rumour but he has played there beforehand at Fiorentina and I doubt he'd look too out of place in all fairness. Pace isn't everything although for a LWB yes you'd want someone who has a bit more of it like Emerson but as a LCB, he would not be that slow, I mean lets be honest Cahill, Azpi and Christensen are hardly that fast either although Azpi is without a doubt faster than Alonso. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely to be same case here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I hope we finish with Emerson playing LWB to the season is over. He has been solid so far and I think there is plenty more to come from him, just a matter of if Conte will be bold enough to keep him there or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robsblubot 3,595 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Yes the idea that paid professionals know more about the game and players than we do, is just strange indeed... if the world only made sense and more talented forballers made more money and were more in demand... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and Rudiger were immense shutting down Salah. It was an average game from him, tbh a typical Alonso performance where he hasn’t really contributed anything tangible. Moses had a far better game and Rudiger was the one who had a great game against Salah. The Skipper, BlueSunshine and Mufassir08 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the players get yakked about in one post if ya get me. Â I' think everyone said he had a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,178 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 What do you think about a straight swap with Barca Alonso for Jasper Cillessen?  Cillessen has a 40 million euro release clause, that seems about right for Alonso at this point, and then we can sell Courtois and avoid losing him on a free. I watched Cillesson again yesterday and he seems FAR superior to all the other dodgy keepers we have or have been linked to. Alonso is only around 1 and a half years younger than Cillesson and keepers go much longer than LB's in career usually. Alonso is already slow, so when he loses a step he is well and truly shot. It should be SO easy to do a quick sale of Courtois then, and take that cash and buy a left back to pair with Emerson Barca is on the verge of selling Lucas Digne to Everton so they will need another LB  some good ones still out there for us if we hurry Alex Telles from Porto (my first choice given the circumstances) José Gayà from Valencia Alejandro Grimaldo from Benfica (he scored yesterday v Juve) Layvin Kurzawa from PSG Wendell from Bayer Leverkusen Theo Hernández from Real Madrid (Lucas's brother, OMG would kill to have Lucas but ZERO chance AM sells him)    !Hazard! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laeth 527 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 - Hoofs the ball out, rather than trying to play out from the back due to lack of composure. - Gets easily beaten in 1v1 due to lack of pace. - Gets caught out of position due to lack of pace. Marcos Alonso our starting LB ladies and gentlemen. Unionjack, ja1 and Jase 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
