Maybe, sell Alonso to get Sandro of Juve

His team play an attacking football which is really good to watch
But we need a major squad surgery if we are to play his style, which is reliant on a very high line, we will need to get many new players especially in the middle.
The likes of Cahill may also leave cos of thier lack of pace

hensben:
No sir I’m not mad.
Now here is it, if Chelsea sack conte and hire Sarri we will be playing four at the back come next season and u and I know Alonso is vulnerable as proper LB. Emerson is still not quality enough to mount our LB, so it will be wise to get a proper LB with quality in person of Sandro while Emerson play as back up.

My opinion or rather suggestion.

You make a good point. Alonso at LB may not be as robust as LWB

MoR2:


major squad surgery!? Sarri plays a 4-3-3 right.

rb Cesar, Chris, Rudiger, Alonso lb this back four can play a high line and Sarri hardly rotates his first eleven. Cahill won't leave, and besides not every defender that plays a high line is fast.

in the middle you still have Kante has DM and Fabregas has a CM then beside them RLC as a CM or Van ginkel. That is if Barkley and Drinkwater refuse to recover and step up.

the major surgery would be in attack. If Hazard and Willian stay, a new winger would still be needed.

MoR2:


guy be realistic Chelsea will not sell Alonso to buy Sandro. simple!!!

how do you know Alonso is vulnerable as a proper LB!?

Emerson is still not quality maybe as a starter but in time if coached well., when Tottenham's boss started using Kane, tripper, dier, rose and co were they quality enough. even Sarri took low profile players into Napoli and made use of them. quality is not about hype it's about performance.

lordfalcao:
the lb back role has already become the lwb role. No difference. As a full back for a top club if you are not making runs and joining attack you will be dropped. Alonso has the energy for that.

Unlimited22:

One of the reasons Madrid fans complain about Marcelo, who plays in a vastly superior team to ours, is that he doesn't recover well and leaves gaps behind him. Alonso has been galloping forward as slow as he is because we always have three centre-backs to cover him. In a 4-man back line the other fullback will also be running forward and only two centrebacks will be exploited time and again on the counter, hence the reason people are asking for a new leftback or playing Emerson, who is faster and younger, ahead of him.

MoR2:
you see it like that because in a 3-5-2 alonso plays the wing role and is likely to push up a lot unlike in a 343 where someone is ahead of him.

Marcelo like alves where originally wingers and they still contribute defensively and those guys impact the teams victory by making those runs.

full backs will always overlap e.g walker. the question should be is alonso defensively weak, is his work rate low.

fine if alonso doesn't play lb, you have Emerson, Cesar, Zappacosta. honestly defence isn't Chelsea's main problem.

hensben:
Guy this is Chelsea not Tottenham or Napoli. When last those two clubs won a trophy huh. We need established players to challenge for titles else we will loose some of our key players like Hazard, Willian.

Unlimited22:

I don't think I want Fab to be a regular next season. If Barkley gets fit and sensible he can be tried in that role, with another CM, Van Ginkel in my opinion and Kante of course as DM, in a 4-3-3.
Move Azpilicueta back to Right back, either play Emerson or get Raphael Guerreiro at left back, then play Rudiger and someone else, likely Cahill in the centre.
The attack is where needs the most work as a decent backup for Morata and a new right winger are needed.
Deadwood such as Drinkwater and Pedro should be cleared out, while Bakayoko, Giroud, Christensen and Alonso should be kept as squad options.

MoR2:
in terms of what you wrote above without "Sarri" spending one dime (I read he doesn't like transfer windows) his first eleven would be

TCourtios; Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Cahill, Emerson; Kante; Barkley, Van Ginkel; Willian, Morata, Hazard.

bench: GK, Christensen, Zouma, Alonso, Zappacosta, Bakayoko, Fabregas, RLC, Moses, Giroud, Batshuayi

rain they fall

lordfalcao:
Who is still talking of LB when Alonso has been too 3 in that position for the past 2 season. With Emerson as back up

MoR2:
those teams have been in UCL for the past two to three seasons. their team bang in more goals than Chelsea and play an enviable style of football yet they didn't have to break the bank like city to win the league and Carabao cup or like united and still go trophyless.

money doesn't guarantee victory. if you can't establish your own players then you have a serious problem.

buying one or two "established" players doesn't change the fact that fringe (upcoming) players will be in a starting eleven.

Liverpool is in UCL finals how many "established" players did they buy or have in their eleven
