jernej93 569 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 It would be sick to sign Alonso and Fabinho ... both can play two or three positions so Alonso could cover LB/LWB/CB position and Fabinho RB/CB/CM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Gino 377 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Fans can call it an improvement but to me that's just because this back four is starved of bodies at this point. The club has lost any leverage bargaining finishing where they did and to get back to greatness meant paying the buyout clauses but instead the board for a second year running waits until the last minute for another panic buy! A player Conte never planned on buying and instead has to figure out how to get the best out of him because Emenalo likes birthday parties and wants Conte to give him a f%cking magic show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 At least we're adding personnel. At this case low-risk, high reward strategies have to be implemented. His age is a big plus so it's not like he's beyond improvement and he played in a back 3 if I'm not mistaken yesterday? One more would be nice.

Blue Gino 377 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 low risk high reward. I can say that about Jay Desilva coming in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, look at the fullbacks Spain have at their disposal. Even Azpi struggles to get in the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like with the England national team, I'm sure a lot of selection is based on which club players come from. Willian barely got a look in for Brazil for example before moving here.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didnt say alonso is better than azpi, so how does azpi having more int caps prove him wrong ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Gino 377 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Bottom line in all this is the board yet again didn't get their window of need sorted out and have to dig through the pile that Stoke and Hull dig through to get players in. Conte needs a heart to heart with Roman about ditching the imbociles handling transfers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nono 791 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I am surprised to learn that he has actually killed someone driving under the influence. I suddenly don't want him anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same can't be said about Alonso. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
