What's new

Marcos Alonso

One of the most unique players we have had in our recent history, I mean sure there has been this very known profile of left footed players that go forward and that have a lot of power and curve in their shot but for the PL to have a 6'2 full back with a great finishing ability and that is also great at set pieces, not many teams could say they had such a player.

 
Although he had his physical limitations, great technically especially up top. Been with us for a long time and contributed at important times. We arent a poisoned fanbase like other clubs. Well done and thanks for everything.

 
So how is that move to Barca going? Not playing, not training too apparently while waiting for the move, week 3 or is it 4 now? 

Still being paid I assume? What will he do if they don't come through and why is he not included in the Auba talks?

 
Ornstein reporting that Barcelona have cooled their interest because they can't even register Kounde, let alone another new player.

So Alonso really messed that one up didn't he by refusing to play and train. No sympathy whatsoever from me. Terrible player and sh*t attitude and if he stays he can enjoy his time with the development squad and watch his world cup chances melt away.

For me either Barca take Alonso or we pull out of the Auba deal and leave them unable to register Kounde without selling De Jong.

Made himself unavailable for training this week as he waits for the Barca move. Not an option for Sunday.

I saw a picture this week on the club's app that has Alonso training with the group. At least I think it's him. Wise to stay fit, either preparing for Barfelona or for us.

 
Definitely worth a try if we fail our strikers pursuit, I'm sure he's capable to press as well as score a few goals.

with all the experimenting we’ve done with Thomas at charge why the f**k not try Alonso as a striker now we’ve depleted our attacking options to bare minimum. He just knows how to score with both feet and head. and he won’t have to sprint back bat crazy.

3 times on the weekend one of our crosses ended up at the back post with no attacking it, this is where Alonso has thrived over the years and is something we should be at least utilising if chasing a game, if he stays at the club. He has one of the best techniques when shooting at the club, so use it. 

 
The problem with Tommy is that he hasn’t got the bottle to try things!

Put Alonso up top and Kepa in for one game, if it doesn’t work out, well then we’ll know going forward!

Problem with this is all the doom and gloomers on here would 100% kick off when we lose.

"What the f**k was Tuchel doing putting Alonso up front in the first place"

Said this before on numerous occasions. He is the only one in the squad that seems to have an eye for goal, and you know he is always going to be between the posts rather than tracking back.
