Ben Chilwell

The way it's going the player presentation will need injury time

I think the key thing to note with chillwell despite his flaws. We know he's not the best left back in the world. But... The upgrade from what we have be it azpi playing left back or marcos alonso is a big jump even if he puts in solid above average performances which I'd say is something he can do. Which makes it different from the other signings which turned out to be busts. Of course you could argue we could buy xyz for cheaper at left back but it's not as easy as that. And a young player who can still improve will hold his value seems ideal to me. Plus it weakens a team who's been a rival in recent years.

Of course if its actually 80 mil then that does change things but I think 50 is a fair price

Not particularly keen but i'll give him a fair chance like anyone else.

Delighted about this. Long been a fan and think he is going to win people over the same way Pulisic did too.

The negativity here is astonishing....

Remember, even the very best fullbacks in world football look shaky at times against great attackers. That's just a fact of modern football. Robertson, TAA, Kyle Walker. All can be got at defensively. Look at that CL semi between Bayern and Barca. Some of the world's best fullbacks on display and both teams were wide fucking open in the wide defensive areas.

So any opposition fans saying Chilwell is a joke defensively can pipe down. He's average defensively just like every class fullback.

The same FL who has developed Mason Mount for the last few seasons, why can't he do it with Chilwell? Or are we just just writing him off already....damn I'm asking the wrong certain group of fans here aren't I?

Think he'll do well for us tbh

[ulsterchelsea 3,221]

Lol gotta love this place. Never happy with anything. I'm buzzing so far. Timo Werner, Ziyech, chillwell and havertz close, Silva as a stop gap. Possibly more... How can anyone not be happy?

It sounds like Lampard is the one who is playing FM more than us, everyone with two eyes can tell he isn't so good, we've been here before with Drinkwater and Bakayoko. Hope I'm wrong though.

Hes not drinkwater level lol. Hes a defensive liability in my eyes, I think hes about as good as alonso defensively. In fact, when we are sitting deep and there's little space to get burnt in race, Alonso is pretty decent even against the top 6. Chilwell Will improve on alonso where the game is stretched, hes quite the athlete.

His speed Will help with stopping counter attacks and hes a better dribbler. Its the consistent day dreaming to look out for

It's not defensively i'm really worried about him, as you say very few FB's are rock solid these days it's more going forward, he often lacks the aggression, movement and quality decision making you see from the likes Robertson, Telles, Grimaldo, pre injury Mendy or even Tierney.

Stick around we need you for when havertz is announced
