watched him a fair bit last night in attempt to change my mind on him. he does look a good player. doesn't strike me as a player that would take us up a notch, though, which is the only thing that excites me at the moment.
 
dani alves, jordi alba... i think the board insist we need big athletic defenders for the epl. pep not a fan of lightweight is a myth.
It said in the doc that if they weren't big and athletic they'd have to be exceptional which Alves and Alba are. This is because they have skills like a midfielder. They can hold onto the ball, break the press and can start attacks.
 
I would take Real Betis junior firpo over this guy. Firpo is a classic brazilian full back his style is similar to Marcelo and Alves, constantly linking up with the midfield and the attack, Firpo is more of a Pep type of player, Chilwell would suit a counter team like Chelsea.
Junior Firpo is Spanish (born in Dominican Republic). He's definitely gettable as the release clause is €60m and his agent is Pep's brother.

The problem is, Firpo has played only 3 games sinсe the start of the year and seems to be injury-prone:

18/19 Muscle Injury Feb 15, 2019 - 49 days
18/19 Hamstring Injury Dec 17, 2018 Feb 2, 2019 47 days
17/18 Ligament Injury May 6, 2018 Jun 6, 2018 31 days
17/18 Hamstring Injury Aug 9, 2017 Oct 16, 2017 68 days
 
If we are losing Delph seems logical to replace like for like ie English for English. The fact he is a round peg in a round hole for left back given Mendys injury list, be perfect with Zin on rotation. Be interesting to watch him next week.

And a left-back, you say. Tailor-made then, tailor-made.
