Many last year also considered alonso a bad or below standard signing! With Moses also being a fringe player! Now look! Fully trust conte and any signings he personally wants to bring in.

The key word is 'personally' and how many are his personal choice? He got the best out of what he had at his disposal last year and it worked but it won't work this year. Moses has an advantage in pace over Alonso but both are caught out to often in defence for comfort so making do will not cut it with the heavy schedule they will have and the upgrades several teams have made.

Well azpilicueta should be able to cover Moses if needed an ola aina can play his part in lesser completions! and we have rudiger to slot into the back three if azpilicueta has to cover at wing back! So think cover for alonso is needed but still enough time to get Alex Sandro in! Great signing if we pull it off!

Aina was loaned out to Hull CIty.
