i really hope he does well and is not the Rahman baba of drinkwaters 

Should still be fine. At least he won't really need any period of adaptation.

Coach's signing if there ever was one. Let's hope Ben repays the faith Frank and co have shown in him

There's hardly any pre-season to begin with. After the weekend everyone will go join the national teams and when the international break is over the league season is only a few days away.

Signing an injured player is not an ideal situation to be in but if it's only a minor injury and the doctors have done their job during the medical it shouldn't be an obstacle for the move. After all the club are planning to have Chillwell for at least the next five years, not just the immediate start to the new season.

Welcome, good signing this for me.

Did you type that through gritted teeth? [emoji185]

Maybe a little bit [emoji23].

Anything on his price?

Leicester mentioned "undisclosed fee" (lol) but it should be 50 million that has been reported.

I swear the word 'system' has appeared in Ziyech's, Werner's and now Chilwell's official club interivew..?

Chilwell on his injury...

 

[Fernando 6,507]

Good buy for me. 

Looking forward to seeing him play when he is fit.

Fair play to The Athletic - Simon Johnson called it in December. 

[Hutcho 8,443]

Let's get it.

New Ashley Cole

I think Matt Law beat him to it even earlier, saying in October-November last year that the club are targeting Chillwell for a summer move.

Both good sources either way.

Over the line finally. Hope he turns out great and solves our Left back problem for years....

Probably.

The main thing here though is Lampard sure sounds like a very good 1-on-1 communicator. All 3 signings so far said they spoke with him and bought into what he's trying to do.

Also, it's nice to see a manager getting involved with the signings - helped by the fact it's their first choice target - rather than being stand-off-ish and expect the club to do the convincing bit.

Don’t know what to think of this, good thing he’s young and experienced. I tought he was allready 27 or something.
