OhForAGreavsie 6,072 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Interesting that a seemingly fit Ian Maatsen didn't feature in Coventry's matchday squad against Derby today. Chelsea request to avoid his becoming cup tied? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,170 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) Just madness that we are a top 5 in world club, chasing 5 trophies (EPL the most unlikely, but still for sure are in for the CL, FA Cup, League Cup, and the World Club championship) still this season, and yet our only 2 true fullback options ATM, and likely for multiple months if we do nothing, are two ageing, slow Spaniards, one who is horrible on offence (and at this point is a RCB in reality), the other equally as bad on defence.

Chelsea request to avoid his becoming cup tied? I'd imagine its more likely a rotation on Coventry's part, but I'd leave him right where he is. Regular first team football there is better than being Alonso's backup here. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChelseaFanUK 1,014 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Found it strange that Tuchel said the club were looking at the market for wingback to cover Reece James' injury. That makes no sense to me James will be back by mid-February i imagine, he doesnt need replacing. CHO is decent there and Pulisic at a stretch [albeit im not a fan of him there, at all] Chilwell wont be seen again until 22/23 so he is the one who needs replacing... not James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,903 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 What I don’t get it the seeming lack of urgency. This is an extremely packed month of fixtures and we’re already resorting to playing attackers like CP and CHO in these areas and yesterday a 17 year old kid. By the time we might get someone in the need may not even be as great as it is currently. With two huge matches against Spuds and one against City coming up in rapid succession is Alonso going to start all those? All with Mendy out and the constant question mark of positive COVID tests? That’s just asking for us to concede for fun. Clearly it’s not as simple as us supporters think, but surely the moment the club were aware of the severity of Chilly’s injury plans were starting to be put in place for a new body at LWB. That injury happened a month and a half ago and we’re now nearly 2 weeks into January with no signs at all that we’re close to a signing. It’s like they were caught off guard by Lyon refusing to let Emerson come back and are now scrambling. mkh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah But more than 99% of clubs don’t come into question for a player of this quality anyway I would prefer 99% of Italian cities over milan tho also if i were an ambitious footballer I would rather play for a top pl club than in Italy DDA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s merely a stopgap until Chilly is back fit next season, I guess. Of course I have no clue what we do when Chilwell is back and we again have 3 LWB’s on our books… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alonso only has one and half year left and should be easy to offload in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
