I wonder if he moves to Athletico whether the clubs will discuss the possibility of him playing against us, I think Uefa rules are different to the FA and we could be looking at a similar scenario to TBO. 

Would be stupid of us to agree to it.

Having Marcos Alonso play against us in a Champions leage knockout game is a positive if you ask me.

 Our former players always seem to score against us though and we all know that Marcos loves a goal or two!

Reece James would tear him to shreds if he ever played against us.

Bring back Alonso switch to a back three for a while see how we go 

And leave out Chilwell? No thanks.

Sorry but thats one player I don't want to see in a chelsea shirt ever again.

Last season Lampard changed too often the system for my liking but this season is the opposite. Too rigid and dont want to change anything if possible. 

Idk if Alonso is the answer for few games and going to a back three but at least it would be a try.

The only thing i miss about Alonso are his fantastic free kicks. He is still the best free kick taker at the club in my view.

Personally I was a fan of his daisy cutters from the edge of the box. Plus he enjoyed a goal against Tottenham/Arsenal.

Missed a trick not turning him in to a striker lol

Will we be able to get rid of him this window?

Effectively ruined his chances here with his antics at WBA. Would also be surprised if he isn't one of the disrupters in the dressing room that the media have talked about.

The only antics I have heard of was not waiting for the rest of the squad.

To me that seems a minor thing when look back at some of the things at other clubs, says more about Lampard's state of mind.

if there are other factors keen to hear this.

I disagree. Can you imagine defending against him when he’s attacking? Or when we concede a free kick in Alonso territory.

Marcos Alonso is an excellent player when used right, as a wing back. As a left back he is hopeless.

Still a decent player, could have been used in the final third in some of the toothless games we had. I agree with most Frank's decisions, but end Alonso's Chelsea career after that awful 45 minutes against WBA was harsh, plenty of players had shockers in the last 12 months and still managed to remain with the team.

I agree and I think it was in Conte's time he was sensational for us running late into the box and scoring a lot of goals.

With the way Chillwell is performing at the moment, I think he deserves a chance. Can't be any worse.

I agree. If we need to lose a left back, that's Emerson all day long for me.

Only if we persist with wing-backs would it be worth to give him a shot. In a 4-man backline he's proven to be a huge liability.

Golazoooo

What a goal today!

The technique was excellent.

Hopefully it’s Chilwell & Alonso from now on rotating depending on the opposition.

Say what you want about Alonso he is a second striker and we have won the league with him, with 3 at the back he works 

Whatever youth coach at Madrid forced him to play left back instead of up top robbed us of quite a good striker 

I think in that position and the way he scored, only he can score it in the squad.

It's not a secret, when we play with LWB, Alonso is the first name there. He's very good in attack, great technique and scoring ability. But as a defender he's not exactly the type we need.

Probably going to start against Spurs, let's see how it goes.

It's actually shame that Frank completely froze him out after that West Brom game I think. Could've used him sometimes with this formation when most of our wingers were injured.
