Strange how we all feel we need a quicker attacking LWB yet alonso has brilliant stats and clean sheet record, I'd feel sorry for him if big signing came in, would or could he do well in back 3 next to Christensen and azpi?

left cb would be gd. but he won't score as many.
he's been a excellent signing for us.

id be surprised if we spent money of another cb with rudiger cahil azpi luiz christensen but unless luiz left it might force our hand. zouma coming back aswell in the summer he might be decent in a back 3.

magic I mean if we sign Sandro . Alonso could go LCB. he was signed originalmy for that position.

i see the point about his goals, but in general play i think he's quite average, good free kick taker, but with the ball he seems to be a second slow in his head with a quick pass, he is hit and miss with crosses, not the best at 1 on 1 defending, i quite like the idea of him playing left centre back, as he played there before and is 6foot 4,and i don't see us changing to a back 4 in certain games because he is to slow and lacks the energy to play lb up and down all game, we could do better than him its no surprise he is 27 years old and doesn't have a single Spanish cap even though he can play in different positions, i don't hate the guy i think he is ok, but if we want to challenge the best in europe then we need world class players, like the likes of alba at bayern, marcelo sandro ect, we need to improve other positions also but this is the case in point.
