Deal done, he's signed. Hopefully he performs well and goes on to hold a regular spot, i don't want him to join Bertrand, Luis and Rahman on the list of LB's we have sold in recent times.

Best of luck to him, only know a little about him but it looks like he and Aina will be good alternatives to Azpilicueta & Ivanovic, look forward to seeing his debut.

Our so called ‘fans’ on Twitter have already written him off, then again they are the sought of people who have Twitter handles that read f**k off Gary Cahill, so you know what to expect from those cretins. In all honesty, I trust Conte and I hope this guy does well, good luck to him. 

Saw him play a few times for Sunderland. Plays well in a system with 3 centre backs, so if Conte goes for that formation he will be comfortable in either formations.

Richard, is that Robbie,Franco and Gus all in one shot?

 

Nice.

Good luck

 

Now that it's done. Forger whatever the f**k Fiorentina fans had to say about him, let's hope he turns out to be a good player for us.

Signing a left-back.

 

It's what summers are all about.

Apparently improved loads since last being in the Prem. People writing him off because he once was with Bolton and even Sunderland. 

Saw a few matches last year where he impressed - I´m pleased with this signing. 

not impressed with his lips

Looks a taller version of mata. Even sounds like him, does not he?

Top signing! 

Let's hope he can go on to be a good player for us.

 

i don't know enough about him to say either way but what people are saying Fiorentina fans were saying about him is slightly worrying but I'm sure Conte knows what he's doing.

 

Welcome to the club lad!

It's better then nothing.

 

Hope he is worth the punt. At least it's seems Conte wanted this guy.

Happy with this signing, Conte gets a left back he wanted and it's one who knows the premier league well. 

Didn't really see him playing, can't rate until I will watch him. A new chapter in his career, hope he will impress us and do the job for the club. 

Welcome and good luck Marcos Alonso!

I'm not totally taken with this signing but I'm looking forward to see how he performs, and most importantly, I'm looking forward to not having Ivanovic playing as RB. (And I have to admit it, I am happier about this one than David Luiz signing...)

A proper LB & Azpi back on the right. I will be so happy if that's how he lines the team out. 

Plus the other 9 players etc...

So, Dave at LB, Ivanovic at RB and Alonso on the bench, yes?

Welcome Alonso, hope he ends up been a good purchase

Yes mate been friends for a good few years now. Go to watch games wherever they are managing.

Well he's a blue now so fingers crossed.

Welcome to Chelsea, sorry that your arrival was somewhat drowned out.

Low expectations, dampened even more with our previous left back failings...but hey, maybe he can do an Azpilicueta and be a pleasant surprise.

I dont know anything about him, But I hope he establishes himself as a good Chelsea player.
