Marcos Alonso

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.

Chelsea Football Club has today brought Marcos Alonso back to the Premier League with the completion of the defender’s transfer from Fiorentina.

The two thumbs up always make me think Borat

[zakhov 253]

Does anyone else thinks he looks a bit like Mata sans beard? 

Hope he improved although he was generally a 6/10 player when I watched him at Sunderland.

I see youthful Xabi Alonso.

An alumni of Real Madrid's outstanding youth academy and Chelsea's newest mam; Marcos Alonso. He only made one appearance for Real before buggering off to Bolton Wanderers. He stepped up and made thirty-five league appearances over three seasons before leaving for Fiorentina. No stranger to England, he was loaned out to Sunderland and made a further sixteen appearance in the Premier League.

Welcome to the new fellow; hopefully he gives a better show than the last Fiorentina transfer.

Welcome Marcos! And good luck, he will need it. 

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,738]

Glad we signed a fullback.

 

Don't remember him at bolton though.

[Pizy 17,860]

He looks a little like a tall version a tall Juan Mata. Sounds just like him too. 

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

Not sure if he'll succeed here but I am hoping with all my might that we've finally found a left back that can last more than a season.

A bit pricey, but won't can you do when any man and his dog after worth 10m+.

Hope Iva's days as a FB are over

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

Welcome Marcos Alonso!

I'm optimistic about this guy, I was impressed with him at Sunderland during his short stint there and hopefully he's improved further whilst in Serie A.

If this means he's a nailed on starter and we have Azpi claim the right back position then this is a great deal.

If this means he's understudy to Azpi at left back and Brana remains untouchable then it sucks.

Let's wait and see, good luck!

Up the Chelseaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
