Ben Chilwell

[bballchinaski]

He's a lot bigger than Angelino & bigger/stronger unit than the typical player Pep isusually associated with in that position, also much more robust than Zinchenko.

But imo a very average footballer & not a great defender.

I think Stones used to play like him when Everton used him at fullback. Not great attacking not great defending, medium paced.

abidal and alaba are not small. i agree that angelino is probably a better fit and footballer than chilwell at the moment

Zinchenko might turn out to be a great back-up left back, but just as Delph had a good run of games, he is still no leftback and his form will probably decrease as it has done before. He can fill in, but we need a Benjamin Mendy back on top to fight for the place with Ben Chilwell. We need actual left backs. Enough with the stand-in, converting-midfielder-to-left-back-nonsense. We need players who have been playing there for years.

I completely understand your point and why you're making it, but I think you're wrong. We don't need someone who has played there for years, we need someone who has the attributes that make them likely to succeed in Pep's version of that position and the adaptability to be able to learn. Of course, if they already play there, so much the better

fuck no

fuck no

Fucker, sorry Ducker, just reads the transfer forum here and reports it as fact. If we started a thread on how we were going to tempt Dixie Dean out of retirement to be our new goalkeeper, the only way he wouldn't print it would be if his editor stopped him.

I reckon Kieran Tierney is worth a look at. Solid, good in the attack, has performed well in Europe for Celtic and he'd be a whole lot cheaper than Chilwell.

 

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

Haha not a chance at what's being quoted he's nowhere near worth those numbers.

 

[razman]

Not worth it

 

[nmc]

I really hope we don't sign Wayne Bridge (mark II). Not worth a quarter of what's being quoted.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Not a chance.

We wouldn't pay over 50 million. I know Mendy cost that much but he clearly, injuries aside, has a lot of potential and offers us something unique. Chilwell doesn't have the same x factor to him.

Tagliafico please!!!
