Looks we might have to settle for Alonso and Rahman.....Fucking worrying, unbelievably thin. Or you know, getting another LWB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have nothing against Alonso but what I do know is if we are to go up to the next level we need a top quality LWB and the same on the other side. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I do agree that we need more quality on LWB, but I think it is just as important to get width there if we fail the primarily objective. Right now we have Alonso and nothing. Baba is not even an alternative considering his injury. If I have to choose between getting no one, and getting someone like Bertrand, Dalbert or Telles, then I will go for the latter without question. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The depth is massively important, having Alonso as back up with Sandro as the main man looks a good strength and depth. We aren't raising the quality by having Alonso starting, he's quite suspect in a few areas and this is why we must push for more and more elite players because every year in the CL these team are getting so much stronger, we must follow suit. I know sometimes you cannot always get these elite players but the alternatives have to much, much better than what we are replacing, if not, no point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think he would be a huge signing that would accomplish a lot. But if we cant get him, or any other WBL that we know is a clear upgrade on Alonso, then we at the very least need to try and find someone who is at a similar level that he can compete with. If Alonso got injured we would be 100% screwed, we have zero replacement for him right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluesman2610 891 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 We should try to hijack Inter deal for Dalbert . I feel he could be what we want Sandro to be for us Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If we hijack or even try to do it to one of their targets, then they might simply refuse to do any business with us now and in the future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How often have Inter done business with us in the past lets be real here if they don't want or need our money in the future then good on them. But Inter every year need to sell players to stay above FFP so this is an unlikely conclusion Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zekinjo 449 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Short version Atalanta coach Gasperini speaking on microphone for Sky's on Juventus wanting to bring Spinazzola immediately : "I hope he stays". Longer version tells about them losing so many important players and if they lose Spinazzola too they will have to regroup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Sign that Dalbert dude up. Actually, I am quite happy if we just get Telles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ILoveLamp 270 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Dalbert is excellent, would be a great option and something different to Alonso. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
