The reason we move the ball so slow and why we clog the middle of the pitch is because Azpi and Alonso just dont offer any width. 

Can't agree with that at all, they are constantly wide.

Elseid Hysaj, Napoli's Albanian defender, is nearing a move elsewhere - with both Atletico Madrid and Chelsea extremely interested in signing the full-back. #CFC #Atletico #Napoli (cm)

if they were constantly wide, we would not be congesting the middle of the pitch. Look at how Liverpool and Man City's full backs play thats width. What Alonso and Azpi offer I dont know what to call it but its definitely not width.

They often stay wide and attack down the flanks. In City's and Pool's case it looks better because they are more efficient and better at attacking. Our full-backs offer little penetration and mostly just pass back to the middle, but it doesn't mean they don't offer width, they just simply are not very good at using it.

These fucking Italian teams, grrrr

They demand insane money when selling, and play constant price raise games, then try to force bargain basement rip-off prices when it is their turn to buy. 

£15.8m for a 26yo decent RB (and Italian too!) is hardly an unrealistic ask by us. We paid £22.5 m for him, so we are taking a 30% loss at that price. If we take that average of loss (from the offers) on all the players we received summer of offers for, that's around £200m in LESS revenue from those sales. It could be far more if we get really fucked on Eden.

Zappacosta would start at around 10 or so EPL teams, he is hardly chopped liver.

Maybe there's some Italian blood in the Penny Pinching Granny?

Why would we even consider selling him for a loss? He has ages left on his contract and is a decent back up. Does not make any sense unless a sizeable bid comes  in.

Should have played yesterday. Even our board is not that stupid to let him go without replacement. Right?

Yep but at least we can try some players in that position like we did yesterday with Ampadu and Kova. Who can we play on RB in our squad? Even Moses is out...

Ampadu played RB against PAOK.

Lol Ampadu the swiss knife, poor lad has to cover every single fuck up by our board.

We are going to stunt his career playing him willy-nilly all over the pitch, especially this Jorginho deputy shite.
