Matt Posted 2 March 2019 Share Posted 2 March 2019 (edited) Just another player Man City want so that other teams can't. It's about time players learn from Drinkwater and Mahrez's mistakes, i'm sure there are many other examples regarding other teams players too. Don't get me wrong it might work for them and you can't blame them for wanting to try at a higher level but hopefully soon or later players weigh the situations up stopping clubs like Man City just stockpiling players. Chelsea, Man Utd, e.t.c have always done it but Man City are taking it to another level just signing players so other teams can't have them.

I think they'd probably be signing him because they've been mostly playing without a recognised left-back for the best part of two seasons. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhYesNdidi Posted 2 March 2019 Share Posted 2 March 2019 His end product isn’t good enough. Man City can probably find a cheaper alternative, who’s not English and is better in the final third. Ben is still a few years off a top 4 club just yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Langston Posted 2 March 2019 Share Posted 2 March 2019 That article man. "Pep Guardiola eyes mammoth spending spree to stockpile talent" do they not have enough ****ing players or a kid in the academy they've spent so much on that they could blood in at left back? I don't dislike guardiola or the club really but they really don't need to spend a further £200 million considering what they already have, Christ. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue ROI Posted 2 March 2019 Share Posted 2 March 2019 Might be looking to buy him this summer with no major international tournament happening. Should Chilwell star in Euro 2020 the asking price will be a lot higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dislike the top 6 clubs purely as they stockpile promising players, minute anyone performs for a team they're instantly linked to man city.

I think you could maybe make that argument with Mahrez but they do genuinely need a left back. They obviously spent a lot on Mendy and he's excellent but he's been injured more often than not and only made 13 league starts since he arrived. Then they've got Zinchenko, who's a talent but isn't a left back, and Delph, who's probably only there to fill out the home-grown quota and also isn't a left back.

Popular Post Finnegan Posted 4 March 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 4 March 2019 Mahrez will start more and more for Man City the longer he's there and more he learns their system. If Chilwell goes, he'll likely be Pep's first choice given Mendy is inconsistent and always injured and the competition is Delph. Moreover Kante plays every week for Chelsea, has another league medal and a world cup. Literally the only player to go and flop is Drinkwater. People need to get over it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frost Posted 4 March 2019 Share Posted 4 March 2019 As soon as Man City bid Chilwell's head will be turned and he'll push for a move. It's an absolute no-brainer for him, unfortunately. Whether he's good enough, well, Pep would soon get the best out of him. If you think about how much he's improved this season then he could easily be good enough to play every game in 12-18 months once he's developed a bit more. The most one-footed player I've ever seen, mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most one-footed player I've ever seen, mind. Its insane isnt it. Every time he has the ball all I can hear in my mind is LEFT FOOT LEFT FOOT LEFT FOOT! and i'm sure defenders must think the same. It renders that pace he has in his game useless quite often He is terrified of that right foot of his. Over the summer someone should make him spend days and weeks doing nothing but playing with his right foot, would improve him so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was good enough for us it’s good enough for Chillers! Find yourself a wall young man and get kicking! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
