£24m bid for Ghoulam in January apparently.

 

Seems very similar to Marcos Alonso but with a bit of pace behind him.

Thoughts??

Seems like BS. Alonso is doing ok and is not an immediate need. Also napoli are frustrating to deal with as we saw for Koulibaly.

*checks to see how long Ghoulam has on his contract*....

If true, Conte must really think nothing of Baba. Loaned out and not 1 but 2 left sided players bought in the span of six months. 

We got Baba Rahman who can suit to our system, in my opinion. He's still need his chance to prove himself.

If Conte is looking for a backup to Marcos Alonso and Baba isn't in his plans, then I'd like to see us going after Jetro Willems.

I don't see why we shouldn't go for Ghoulam, he has been a solid top 10 defender in Italy for two seasons now and he don't have problems with his strength,passing and aerial ability (Baba) or his pace (Alonso). Its frustrating to deal with Napoli, but it's worth a try in my opinion.

Reported that he doesn't want to sign an extension and he's only got one year left after this season. Could be a prime target in the summer

Course it is mate, if Alonso or  Moses get an injury we are very thin for cover

Jetro Willemsino, there you go fixed.

We have Ivan and Zouma and move Azpi.

You play Dave you lose your CB so have to bring in Zouma or JT automatically,  Ivan...no thanks, and suppose we had a CB injured like our Aging legend or the recent returned youngster with an ACL tear we are in sh*t street, we need cover mate.

Personally I will look for an upgrade to Alonso than a cover for him. Think Zouma or JT coming in and Azpi shifted to the wings doesn't drop our overall quality too much.

If are are going for Ricardo Rodriguez then I am all for it. That said, I don't know this player we are after who might have a very high ceiling.
