He does have better metrics than Chilwell in regards to chance creation and defensive duties. I'm 50/50 at the moment. If Theo Hernandez is available in the summer, then this will definitely be a difficult decision.

You think the club will sign Theo, when Chilwell will return next season?

I would view it that we need to replace Alonso.

Theo doesn't fit the bill for that, he will be expensive and starter material.

Chilwell will not be close to 100% for what will likely be a year, he seriously fucked his knee up

Personally i doubt the club will sanction €50m - €60m for Theo. The most likely outcome is we will look for cheap option.

Yes, I'm aware about that but spending more than €100m for 2 left backs would be a bit overkill for the board.

Citeh has spent around £225m on fullbacks under Pep

We aren't City though, if anything with the board wanting to recall Emerson or loan Digne should give you an indication about their approach.

I am not saying we are Citeh, nor should drop that much dosh, but we need to buy great players, young enough to have some real resale value if they do not pan out 100%

There are many ways in which CFC fans would very much like to be more like them.

I agree with you, but the board will likely to wait and see what happen with Chilwell before sanctioning a big money for another left back.

Barcelona 2009-2012, Real Madrid 2014-2018, Bayern, City, and now Liverpool have all seen success due to how reliant they are on their full backs. I would argue our system more so than them rely on our fullbacks the most. 

There is a major risk Chilwell doesn't come back the same player. If Theo is available and wants to come, I say go all in as he can become an elite LWB. Not to mention as Vesper alluded to, he can play LCB as well.

Yes, i'm aware about that situation but i can't say the same about our board. They will likely to wait and see what happen with Chilwell before sanctioning a big money for another left back.

Well, I mean we almost bought Hakimi even though we had Reece James.

In the end we didn't want to offer €70m for Hakimi.
