Amputechture 2,499 Posted November 11 I'd rather we sign Luke Shaw, John Stones and Tom Cleverly for a fraction of the cost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
big blue 4,822 Posted November 16 He is playing fantastically well, it has to be said. Just not sure on the price. £70m+ is outrageous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For me, the price tag for Chilwell isn’t the bothersome part. What gets me about our linkage with him, is there are a handful of LBs out there that are just as good who could be had for a cheaper price. Grimaldo, Gaya, Telles to name a few. 1 big blue reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmm, two of those haven't played in a top league and the other I can't see any evidence on them being a top player. Could be as good, maybe. Definitely as good, no chancs. Chilwell has played in the premier league and been consistently excellent and is young. Why on Earth are some Chelsea fans so determined to scrimp about £20m to pick up a riskier signing. Madness. Get the best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slojo 3,344 Posted November 17 I hope we avoid this one personally, he's not just overpriced I actually think Emerson is the better LB, it's just that Emerson is made of glass. 1 Deino reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree. People are buying the English hype atm because the next crop of golden generation is starting to emerge. 1 Slojo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Argo 3,296 Posted November 17 I wasn't a big fan and still need more sample size before converting but he's been highly impressive ever since that 9-0 match, he's got a lot more aggressive in his forward play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the special one 1,811 Posted November 17 (edited) Alonso and Emerson are both quality LBs but are both prone to inconsistency whereas Chilwell seems to be giving solid performances week in week out. Is Chilwell approaching "world class" status? Edited November 17 by the special one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Strider6003 2,359 Posted November 17 I haven't seen enough of Chilwell defensively to asses whether he would be good for the team yet sense he would be damn expensive. Going forward he reminds me of Petrescu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is Chilwell approaching "world class" status? No. He hasn't even perform in a final or against a big team on form yet. 2 the special one and Scott Harris reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
