I know @Vesperย likes Theo Hernandez but these days I'm not watching enough non Chelsea football to really have a valid opinion. I will observe that in highlight reels he sometimes looks more about the power than the finesse to me. I'm sure someone will probably put me straight on that. This is the point of disagreement between us I think. Generally I have not been impressed and I believe a reading of forum comments about him would show that across his CFC career to date people here have raised questions about him. Indeed I think it is 'lucky' for Ben that this injury came at the back of a purple patch and so the short-term memories of him are positive. big problem is Theo is not available in January Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,909 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Knew it was coming.ย ย Alonso is average enough against mediocre opposition and is exposed regularly. Donโt think we can rely on him against better teams for the whole remainder of the season. We 100% need a body in January.ย Get Lucas Digne. Then we sell Alonso next summer and have Chilly and Digne as our 2 LWBโs for next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
