Phwepsi, not incredible, just rational and realistic. If you look back at our incoming left back positions, we’ve not really had anyone since we sold our champions league winning / England player Bertrand. Blame Jose moan-e-o. Alonso for the last 14 games or so has done rather well all things considered. Yes, I do agree we need strengthening. But I reckon Conte is going to have a good look at Kennedy who might fit in well.. Read what Conte has said below.
Kennedy, injured and now returned to CFC after starting the season at Watford.

Baba Rahman… Out on loan. Most likely off in the summer for what we paid for him. The club have never really found Cole’s replacement and spent a lot trying.
It will be interesting to see how Conte Views another academy prospect in Ake. Scores goals adn is part of a good set up and playing as he did at watford and was voted youth player of the year by fans last season… He played left back a lot for them last season. He’s due this summer. Dutch under 21 and signed a new five year deal.
While signings are good, Conte has to a certain extent fix the jigsaw using the pieces he already has. The big signings will come in the summer.
