Jype 6,398 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I don't get it if he's gone...we'll bring Filipe Luis, and we are negotiating about Bertrand sale, Asley is gone so we'll have one LB?? And don't tell me.Azpilicueta is LB.... We'll have Iva and Azpilicueta as RB and Filipe Luis as LB...something wrong here. I can bet this quote is fake...no source at all?http://www.vi.nl/nieuws/van-aanholt-breekt-na-zeven-jaar-met-chelsea.htmThe source, Voetbal International, are one of the leading Dutch football media outlets if I'm not mistaken and I doubt they'd be posting quotes from the player without first checking if they're true.I think we're fine with Filipe Luis, should he sign of course, playing the majority of games and Azpilicueta being deployed at LB if the Brazilian is not available. Luis has proven that much like Cole in the past for Chelsea he can play around 50 games a season at the highest level and in case he gets injured or suspended we're more than fine with using Cesar on the left and Ivanovic on the right. I think Zouma can also be deployed at RB even though it's not his ideal position so Luis, Azpi, Ivanovic, Zouma is enough options for the full-back department.While it would be best to have a proper backup player for Filipe Luis I don't really know anyone who fits the bill at the moment and keeping one of the youngsters, for example Aké who can play LB, around just in case the team gets plagued by injuries wouldn't do his development any good. Maybe we could send the youngsters (Ake, Omeruo, Chalobah) on loan with a re-call clause and trigger it on one of them if things get bad. Or alternatively get a Tiago-like cheap squad player who won't complain about the lack of playing time but can still do the job when called upon. Neither Cole, Bertrand nor Van Aanholt tick all those boxes (cheap, reliable, happy to be backup) so that's why they're going / gone.

I'm done here"[colorI don't get it if he's gone.I do, he's lazy and can't defend, if any one is an anti Mourinho player, it's him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King11Didier 916 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 So who will be Chelsea's second left back? Bertrand isn't with the team for the pre-season games,so maybe we will go for new left back? Or Azpi will be 2nd choice for RB and LB?

Or Azpi will be 2nd choice for RB and LB?I agree with Zolayes, I think it could well be Ake. He has been given the number 6 shirt and despite mainly being a CB who can play at CDM Jose has been deploying him at LB all pre-season. Granted we are short there for pre season but still it may be Jose is testing him in that position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place to be 11,313 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Sweet. More dead wood on the way out. One year left on his contract so can't imagine the fee would be that high, but hopefully he has a decent career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
