If there's one thing I believe we do NOT need, it's a replacement for Alonso. In my eyes, we've got the perfect back up in Kenedy. I believe he's a much better replacement for Alonso than Zappacosta is for Moses.

Kenedy would be roasted time and time again against good players. He’s played against mediocre players and got away with it time and time again. No way is he good or intelligent enough to play LWB against the likes of Sanchez, Martial etc. They would have a field day. Not for me. A decent back up to Alonso or better still, upgrade on Alonso and get Sandro.
I remember back when we had 7 very good players on the bench! Like city’s bench now, but we don’t. No where near it in fact. And that’s the worrying part!

Hmm, I get what you're saying about him being recked against better players, but I certainly believe he's better than for instance Emerson. I think perhaps Douglas Santos, Ryan Bertrand or Riza Durmisi would be suitable.

Bertrand or Sandro for me. Bert knows the club inside/ out and with rotation think it could work well with Alonso. Otherwise sign Sandro and make him our number 1 LWB.
But what I don’t get is that we are looking to sell Baba Rahman who could quite easily play understudy to Alonso and buy emerson whose coming back from the same injury as Baba. Makes no sense. but hey this is Chelsea!

Any of you know how Jay Dasilva is doing at charlton?
I’d go for tierney of Celtic I know pat nevin rates him highly as I’ve read it before he would be a good judge of character imo.
