On the bright side at least we'll never lose the ball.

Well, it's easy to retain possession when all you do is pass the ball sideways on your own half.

Sounds like an easy clean sheet to me!

Don't forget he can score goals too! 6 for us so far...

Yeah, that's the trouble with Mikel, he loves scoring too much, way too adventurous for a defensive midfielder.

He's like the black Steven Gerrard

You don't give him enough credit and clearly overrate the scouser. It's Stevie G who should be called white Obi Mikel.

A formal announcement on a deal to take Marcos Alonso to Chelsea is expected imminently. (Sky) #CFC #Fiorentina

 

 

To say I'm looking forward to this...would be a lie.

I suppose it was year or smth like that ago, when I actually thought that he can be a good addition to the team lol :D

This should be announced tonight! Very good signing!

Exact Sentiments.

Sky are saying that he's flying to London tonight for a medical. 

I have a celebratory G&T on ice waiting for the announcement!

Kenedy to Watford has been confirmed, so its only a matter of time till Alonso to Chelsea is announced.

Same.

Hopefully proves us wrong but he doesn't appear to be a high level footballer

Baba - £17.6m Filipe Luís - £15.8m Alonso - £24m

£57.4m total spend on left backs in three summer window in a row

sadly, big chance the trend might continue next summer

im just in shock that everyone watches so much seria A, I don't think I have watched a game in 3 or 4 years

big chance the trend may continue? based on what? Alonso at 23 done very well in the PL for a team who was battling relegation! he is 25 now, been playing regularly for a top Italian team and will be even better now, coming to a team full of top players and a world class manager, I will be shocked if he doesnt do well for us.
