But theres always an exception to the rule. And with the physios and fitness levels these guys reach now theres some really fit lads in their 30s.

Eidur the Spider 4,515 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Alex Sandro could play his final game for Juventus in the CL final as #Chelsea prepare an opening bid for the full-back. [La Repubblica] Juventus themselves have admitted that they will find it very difficult to keep Alex Sandro beyond the summer.

Pizy 18,926 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Linked with Sandro and Jordi Alba as far as fullbacks are concerned in the last couple of days. The sources are complete shit, sadly, but those would be two unbelievable signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 If we get Sandro its a true signal of intent... These are the types of rumours I want to see more of not the "Corentin Tolisso" or "Andrea Conti" links I've been seeing. We need to go big and acquire world class talent not just good talent like Bakayoko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not dropped but certainly rotated, huge slate of games next year (hopefully) can't have only one option for one of the most grueling positions on the field.

Possibly, but don't think it is the most important area we need to strengthened at the moment, as Alonso did a very good job there. Personally, I prefer one of our youngster for a backup of that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think we need two first team player in every position, we could filled some with our youths and it is still fine. As I mentioned earlier, it is just not an area we urgently need to be strengthened in my opinion, so we will gonna have to wait if this rumour is true or not. Baba or Kenedy or Ake should be enough for a backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baba or Kenedy should be enough for a backup. I disagree in that I think it is an area we urgently need competition. It is physically grueling. Baba coming off an ACL tear as backup for a team trying to challenge for PL and CL titles? I don't think so. Also I had high hopes for Kenedy but he doesnt have the necessary defensive skills and I also don't think Conte trusts him. I agree we should use our youth as squad players and eventually important players when they are ready but in my opinion we don't have any available to fill such an integral role. I really want Lew Baker to come back and challenge fabregas and Christensen to come back and earn a place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alonso did a fantastic job for us this year but now that we're back in Europe we need to up the ante to make sure the squad is competing at the highest level. Alonso needs to be pushed and Sandro will definitely do that! We need to have fierce battles for positions in order to keep the squad in peak condition Also, Alonso against world class wingers scares the shit outta me.

Clockwork 1,794 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 When he was available at Porto, I wanted him badly. Lol the board targeted Baba instead. Sandro is the best LB in the world, can't believe some of you actually think Alonso would be competition for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
