Every media brief Chelsea have put out since hiring Xabi Alonso as their new manager mentions the term ‘mentality monsters’.
Apparently, Alonso wants the club to have a squad full of mentality monsters. Well, if he truly wants that, then the club are going to have to target and sign those types of players, because our squad really does not contain too many of those players right now.

There are a few who you could put close to that category, but if Alonso wants a squad full of mentality monsters, then the club are going to need to sign a whole bunch of them in. Unless it is something that he believes he can coach or ingrain in the players that he already has, which I find hard to believe.
Either way, he’s got his work cut out for him this summer and going into next season and hopefully beyond.

Well, best of luck with that. But truly, Chelsea will need to sign more of those types in if that’s what Alonso wants to build.
