To be very fair to emerson, he started the season well. 

Maybe my judgement has been a bit affected by confirmation bias then because I've never believed in him and don't feel I saw what you saw early in this season. Although, like all players, Emerson has better days and less good days, I see him as an ordinary player and players' performances seldom move too far out of their talent group.

Let's get a bidding war with inter and juventus.

It's crucial we get one top left back ASAP. Who is the second option is not that much important at the moment. We have far bigger issues.

Possibly a negotiation tactic to; improve his prospects of a pay-off, improve his prospects of getting the move he wants by forcing Chelsea show that it's them, not the player, who is driving the sale and therefore weakening their position in regard to the fee, or both.

Emerson out, Telles in for around same amount of money. No brainer.

Good, no way we're selling both him and Alonso and then buy 2 LBs, that's not the Chelsea way. Rather have him than Alonso.

I wouldn't. For all Alonso's frustrations he atleast gives us a screamer one game in five, low bar but it is what it is.

Emerson apart from a cross in Baku and a decent half in a game we lost 4-0 I'm struggling to think of anything stand out he's done.

Before injury Emerson was much better at LB than Alonso ever was. Unless we're gonna play 5 defenders, Alonso needs to leave.

I didn't watch him before his injury so can't tell about that but it's ultimately irrelevant even if he was as good as prime Ash before the injury, it's clear as night follows day that whoever he was before his unfortunate injury is long gone. I was prepared to wait until he got a consistent run in the team and now he's been first choice for nearly a year and done next to nothing.

I still think even in a four Alonso is a better option Vs teams that sit deep, for example him in the box instead of Emerson against Bournemouth we win 1-0 just like we did Vs Newcastle. I don't want him to be first choice ever again (I even felt that about him as a wingback) but I'd feel he would contribute a lot more as a squad player than what Emerson would.

I meant the injury he got this season during international break I believe. Before that he was among the team's top performers, but unfortunately hasn't been quite the same since.

I am just sick of talking about left back!

we need to sort it out or will continue to pay the price

at least half the board or so thinks Telles is dog shit

many think that if we just wait till summer Chilwell is in the bag

I think both are not the case at all

 

I have offered many solutions

Alaba, whilst more than likely a pipe dream is a very much to my liking, I just do not think it will happen

I have no clue if we are the mystery EPL team that offered Angers 30m euros for Rayan Aït Nouri, but the lad is only 18

Luca Pellegrini turns 21yo in a few months and seems to have a shedload of potential, but Juve own him (he is on loan at Cagliari now), and if he is all that, why are they sniffing around for either Emerson or Alonso?

We will never dump 100m euro on Gaya (nor should we)

I think 60m euro for Grimaldi is also madness, but I could see this being a desperation default buy

I am not convinced on the soon 22yo Jamal Lewis from Norwich

same for 21yo Lloyd Kelly on Bournemouth, although his size and pace intrigue me, but he seems injury-prone so far

Maatsen is a dwarf, so not sold on him yet, not even close

Alex Sandro is 29yo in a few days so nope nope

I do not see Real Madrid parting with either Sergio Reguilón or Ferland Mendy (Mendy would be great here, the damn ban fucked us there)

Lucas Digne might be an option, BUT Everton will demand crazy money (could see them wanting close to what Grimaldo would cost)

I think IF we can convince him to leave AC Milan, Theo Hernández might be a great buy, but I do not see him wanting to leave, he already turned down a lot of big clubs to sign last summer with Milan and now I can Milan REALLY refusing to sell him as he has been the best LB in Serie A probably the first half of the season

 

truly looks to me like it is Chilwell or bust (bust meaning next season we will still have a now (turns in 11 months) 30yo Alonso and an uber inconsistent Emerson 

Telles is the simple solution at least for 3 years or so, but we do not do simple

We should really talk to Real, feel them out on Mendy or Reguilón

unless we were the one who are trying to buy the 18yo Nouri

here he is against Arse
