A headache that I'm not sure our club would want after dealing with Diego Costa. Not sure he's the clear upgrade we need on Pedro or Willian either. He looks like he's at about their level and nothing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks like he's at about their level and nothing more. I see he only plays for a short time each game too only 4 times over 60mins and 1 was against us (How did he play?) I was wondering IF a fresh start at new club,new team mates who he knows well,manager etc might do him good? But hes not a big scorer nor assists this year so I really dont have strong good feelings about him. But do think hes got it in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eidur the Spider 4,515 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Chelsea has made Yannick Carrasco their top priority for the winter market. Antonio Conte is pushing for the move. (AS) #CFC #Atletico #AFC #FCBayern #THFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe 10,861 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Well, this one sounds like it could be true. Not like one of those stories with a random or unrealistic name pulled out of a hat. He is (or was?) also known for his work-rate, something Conte looks for in players. Also Belgian, our club with the Belgian connection and all. Only 24, fits the club's policy of buying players with a resale value. Wouldn't mind this move at all, wanted him back when he was a firm favourite at Atletico, think a new environment and Conte could rejuvenate him.

MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Another player who won't really improve us. He's okay but nothing special. At least he can play LWB as he does for Belgium and be a replacement for Alonso though I doubt his defensive acumen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El P. 1,354 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 He seems like another Willian to me. Brutally good dribbling and pace, but no end product at the consistent basis. But, he is young... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy 439 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 The club had enough of those bad boys hopefully. Costa or Luiz throwing tantrums should be enough for us to avoid this guy. Even from a footbalistic view he wouldn't improve us enough to say we're set for years to come in that position. If he however comes in as replacement for Willian and we get another one in the summer to replace Pedro I'm all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can work on his defensive game - he’s a top athlete so he won’t be as exposed as let’s say Alonso is when it comes to the pace of the game.

He wouldn't be an improvement over Willian or Pedro. Problem is he's been very underwhelming for the NT playing that LWB position. While he's also made no secret about the fact he doesn't like playing there and feels he's better suited to a more advanced role. So i doubt he's gonna go to a club where he's gonna play that position all the time. He could be a solid wingback if he applied himself to it but i just don't think he wants to. Personally i wouldn't go for him unless it was really cheap. I'd be looking for better and more exciting players to play the wingback positions but maybe this is the best we can do.
