AS are running some sort of PR-campain against marcelo & drenthe or, depending on ones point of view, in favor of marcos alonso.
marcos alonso, 18, is the castillas LB and has trained about 5 times with the first squad, including during pre-season. AS claim pellegrini has been watching marcos alonso for a long time and monitored him as an alternative to marcelo (alledgedly, he has no faith at all in drenthe) and regards him as the future LB.
personally i haven't seen him play, but i'm always in favor of giving cantera boys a chance to prove themself. IMO he can't be much worse than marcelo or drenthe. therefore i would give him a chance and see how he does, especially since i'm no fan of RBs swichting on the left side (arbeloa, m. torres)...it's just not a serious alternative for a natural LB with a strong left foot. the only RB that was doing a great job as LB is IMO phillipp lahm.

Drenthe hasn't been given a chance this season, so i don't know why he's getting stick.Marcelo is obviously not a LB , Manu has to learn how to utilize his strengths to cover for his weaknesses, to be fair his formation and tactics against Sevilla were not up to scratch.
If real were playing a team not of Sevilla's quality maybe they would have gotten away with it but not this time.Arbeloa is crappier than Drenthe and Marcelo together.

Marcelo isn't really doing well as a defender and it doesn't seem he is improving. Drenthe on the other hand, actually. Far from world class and anythign but the games he played LB this season were in fact quite good. At leats, that's my opinion.
Marcelo is more of an attackign player, can't he be more or less Robben's replacement? I always feel Marcelo is played to defensively.

Marcelo has the makings of a decent left winger but simply isn't a full back.

Agree with the guys.. Marcelo is an attacking full back a LM .. expecting him to be a solid defender is stupidity ..
he is a valuable squad play and if we are playing 4-2-3-1 i would put him on the left side of the 3 attackers and he tracks back to help
and yep Drenthe showed a lot more composure defensively in the few games he played
