It's too big 625 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Alonso's lack of pace is really telling in games. He got beaten by that fella (can't remember his name) with relative ease who scored the disallowed goal. If that was a LWB with pace, that wouldn't have happened. I do believe Cahill and Alonso are weak links, and when Christensen plays alongside a top class LWB we will see even more impregnability in our defence. However, I must add that Alonso does bring something important to the table, and that's his knack of scoring crucial goals, whether it be from open play or free kicks.

So many times I would like to see Alonso beat his man, but his lack of pace doesn't allow him to do that unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites

Alabama 1,910 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Here comes the saga again....I would have love Alex Telles due to sandro dip in form....but its conte target so will accept especially if he can regain his form... Link to post Share on other sites
Unionjack 7,530 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 After the Conte interview concerning how he feels,looks at new transfers we really don;t know if he is one of his wants or not. And as he never talks about players normally we cant get any ideas of just who he wants. It SEEMS that all he does is tell the club in what position we/he needs to strengthen then leaves it to the club to sort out. He only APPARENTLY gives his opinion of who he likes if the club asks him. He says that other clubs hes been at have a sporting director who he talks to (meaning that we are not asking him for his thoughts) I think this has pissed him off so much that he has actually changed his mobile number so that he cant get bothered by agents etc, Conte: "No, I changed the number. Not me, not me. No, no. I think there is maybe this habit here, but I’m not involved in the transfer market. I give my opinion, but the club decides the players they want to buy, to invest in.” Very strange way to do business and not the way I thought it was. Link to post Share on other sites
Special Juan 26,198 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 The thoughts and targets of the board and manager differ so much it's no wonder Conte is making constant noises. It beggars belief that a club of such high stature and all the professional people at the head of it can operate in such a shit pot way. I fucking hate the board at this football club I really do.

How frustrating is it, right? I fucking hate it too, but I can't support any other club. We're both stuck for life. Just get Sandro or Telles done and I'm happy. I'm sick of watching the free kick specialist get done for pace against any decent winger. Link to post Share on other sites

But I’m okay with Moses moving forward until maybe a clear target for RWB pops up. At LWB there are talents like Grimaldo, Rose, Guerreiro from BVB, and Sandro of course available. Take your pick. If we are getting a natural LB to play LWB then we need to be looking at wingers for RWB, Moses isn't particularly great defensively but barely gets exposed because he has Cesar looking after him in that regard, so we need attacking impetuous over defensive solidarity in that position.

He is a hell of an athlete. As is Zappa. Both do a great job of getting up and down the pitch. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

Moses rarely gets beaten because he is lightning quick and will always recover when someone tries to go past him. I think defensively ge is much better than alonso. Offensively he has less output but both are shit crossers Link to post Share on other sites

According to WhoScored.net which I presume is awell established site for stats Alonso is the 4th highest rated WB there is! But Noses isnt on the list. (but Anderson is!! That would be nice) Link to post Share on other sites

And cheaper. Link to post Share on other sites
mccg 1,528 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 BLUES NOT INTERESTED IN ALEX SANDRO Chelsea are not interested in signing Juventus defender Alex Sandro, Calciomercato.com exclusively revealed this evening. The Blues were recently linked to a move for the Brazilian as an alternative to Marcos Alonso, with Kenedy the only name on the list at the moment. However transfer market insider Fabrizio Romano claims that the Blues won’t be willing to pursue the former Porto defender, following their rejected €60 million bid last summer. So we can deffo start looking elsewhere 4 the nxt world class lwb/lb i guess lol! Link to post Share on other sites
