Bluenine would throw a party if we signed Alonso.

Make that a Alonso + Kante double signing, and I will send you the invite

Bruno Alves, the last one from the Parma crew. Grande experience and a real CB, no wingback bs.

I just read that there was (allegedly) a bust up between Lampard and Alonso? (Allegedly) Alonso left the dressing room after being subbed at half time and went straight to the team bus.

I can just see next weeks headlines.. Alonso: "I used to support Inter as a boy.. Grosso was my favorite player.. Conte was like a father to me.."

just hitting his prime. grande

We going for a full grey-haired backline? Bring back Toldo and sign Jérémy Toulalan while we're at it.

Didn't Alonso started this season very bad? I have the feeling he is declining very quickly but I don't watch Chelsea as much so I could be wrong.


West Ham made a bid for 25M for Milenkovic which Fiorentina didn't decline right away. Interested to see if they will accept this bid eventually because I thought they wanted 40M?

It's not about decline per se, it's about Alonso being utter shit in a back 4. He simply can't defend to save his life. He's better as a wingback. As long as Conte is around, he will be useful. But once Conte is gone he will be useless and it will be impossible to offload because of his wages. And that's why a loan with option is the only acceptable deal for Alonso.

The problem is Chelsea don't budge from their ridiculous 35m evaluation, despite having 4000 left-backs in their squad. Ofc don't accept loan+35m option either, all know it means he will return.

Di Marzio claims Alonso could be available on loan after his clash with Lampard.

Yeah and if he wasn't, there wouldn't be discussion about him. No one's touching him if he's not available on loan.

Haha if we let Skrinar go for 30-35 and get Alonso for that price :)

West Ham made a bid for Maksimovic of Napoli - in his last year of contract, not Milenkovic. Milenkovic is going to stay put this season.

I`m sure we won`t pay for Alonso now, loan is the only option IMO. We really have to deal with Dalbert and Asamoah departures.

Smalldini is holding out for Roma, Darmian coming in anyway. :eek:kay:

Kolarov at LCB and Alonso at LWB. What could go wrong?

Dario, they reportedly made offers for both:

https://gianlucadimarzio.com/it/fiorentina-offerta-west-ham-milenkovic-25-milioni

which of course sounds bs. It's far more realistic they offered 25m for Milenkovic than Maksimovic who only has one year left in his contract. ADL is probably spreading fake news to drive the price up.

If we get Darmian, there's no room for Alonso. We don't have spots in the squad for him, unless we want to include him/Darmian only to the Serie A list.

We need to keep hold of Ranocchia or get another CB which will effectively stops Darmian and Dalbert/Alonso both to be in CL list.
