    phwepsi… I think we have some very talented players at the club on loan who will probably step up over the next couple of years so I’m just thinking that we dont need to spend vast sums in that area. I also have to admit im not entirely sure why Alonso gets the pasting he does, he came on against Arsenal and we’ve not looked back. A team is made up of many different attributes and he appears to have been pretty instrumental in our recent run. Having said that, The last two games we appear to have seen a weakness so interesting to see what solution Conte has. All has gone really well for us, So a blip in form and we’ll probably see Conte’s true colours emerge as a manager.

    Very optimistic. So which players do we have in the academy who can play a very specific wing back role? Not to mention the only one player from our youth who has came even close to the constant first team in what? The last 10 years has been chalobah.
    Absolutley incredible to say we do not need to strengthen that area esepecially with cl next year.

    The players we have now are stop gaps as conte didnt buy in the summer for this system. He used the players we have that fit in certian areas. Moses isnt a defender and alonso isnt a very good one. Now conte has found the system and the olayers are used to it i expect him to buy players that can fit the system better than what we have

    Based on his recent comments Conte clearly thinks we need to strengthen one or two positions in Jan if possible whilst acknowledging it’s a difficult window to do so but at the same time he is obviously open to looking at loan players and Academy prospects if he thinks they can do a job as we’ve seen.

    A balance between the two would be great though.

    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.
