Ben Chilwell

[M23 Citizen]

Nah. The main reason Chelsea are letting him go is because his wages are massive and he's never fit. Has played 64 games across the entirety of the last three seasons, an average of 21 or 22 apps per season. Would rather give those minutes to Wilson-Esbrand.

Even if he was never injured, he gives the ball away far too much.

He always averages around the low 70% mark for ball retention. Gvardiol is up at 91% and Nathan Aké at 93%.

Simply not good enough, he was there just to make the numbers up.

Had a very rough time with injuries over the past few years. It's a shame for the lad as he did have a lot of potential when we signed him from West Ham but I agree we probably won't see him playing for City again.

He is clearly a decent lad and a good player but that's simply not enough.

Chilwell is probably the first of a string of players Chelsea will try to bully out of the club over the next couple of seasons if they continue with this strategy of stockpiling players at a ridiculous rate.

Can't really see it working out for them. It's all well and good telling Chilwell he needs to leave but he's on £200k a week for the next three years. Given his patchy form and injury record, who is going to offer him anywhere near that? Sure some players will be willing to take a bit of a pay cut to get back on track but they're not gonna willingly halve their salaries.

There are players signed for massive fees and still carrying a huge book value due to the ridiculous contract lengths theyve put them on who are already looking like fringe players now. They're going take a big hit when they have to move those players on.

Chilwell played relatively well before his injury last season in a very disorganized team. But he was terrible after returning from the injury. Chelsea medical team was a mess. Maybe he will regain his form but who knows. A free loan to some PL club may be the best option for him and Chelsea.

Bloody hell, how come we have a thread about Chilwell?! It’s a no from me

They all need to take inspiration from Chelsea legend Winston Bogarde. Don't back down. They've given you an 8 year contract on a huge salary. Take every last penny.

 

[Skrastins]

Are we this desperate for a signing?

I am also, but c’moon

Yep. Saying he could be good if he didn't have injuries is a straw man argument, eh Worzel.

 

[OntarioBlue]

I think we’ve moved on from needing a left back. We have Ake and Gvardiol more than capable of playing left back or left centre back and are as good as anyone in the game.
