Reinforcing the left isn't right

We should go after a right back instead. We did look shaky on the left but I feel Alonso improved over the course of the season and was less vulnerable as time went on. Additionally we'll replace that lug Cahill which will shore us up even more defensively. If we are to sign someone that can do a job at wingback, we should look to replace Moses because he's not very good. Can't even dive properly.

Biggish I don't think that Conte will move Azpi to RWB as first choice but if Moses is unavailable at any point then Azpi can undeniably play in that position.

I'd argue Moses is more solid defensively than Alonso, would be interesting to see stats tho

He's certainly not the best wing back in the world but he's one of the better wing backs in the PL.

We were linked quite heavily to Sidibe from Monaco but that all went quiet in recent months.

There aren't many quality RWB's on the market right now. Our best bet would probably be Florenzi but he's got a terrible record with injuries. Dani Alves wouldn't be a bad stop gap for at least a season, our RWB's have a fantastic insurance policy in Azpilicueta behind him and there are still only a handful of RB/RWB better going forward than Alves.

I get the OP's point though. Moses has been a revelation considering he was just an out and out winger 12 months ago, but no-one should mistake that for thinking he's transformed into a first choice caliber WB for a CL team. He's simply not on that level.

I rather keep Moses that go for Alves. alves is way past his best and not as good defensively as Moses who is till only 26/27 years old

Not many better than Moses defensively right now. Yes his decision making/execution in the final quarter is appalingly bad, but at least he does work oppo defenders hard when he takes them on.

The biggest mistake Conte can make is to move Azpi to RWB. Azpi is just the perfect player for playing wide in a back three..................yes, he could be taller, but otherwise he is made for that position.

gotta agree

I can see Alonso moving in to the back three for you next season. Similarly Ben Davies for us.
