Dan LCFC Posted 18 January 2020 Share Posted 18 January 2020 Both of them are average, Alonso's got some serious set piece quality mind. Chelsea can do better than those two. I'd take Chilwell over either of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been at the club since before he had pubes (probably), and on top of that, he is the finest player we have produced since Emile Heskey. England's first choice left back is a Leicester academy product! From recent history just remember Paul Konchesky (not a bad player for us by any means) and how much better Chilwell is than he was and get over yourselves. Support the kid or zip it because its embarrassing. No room for sentiment, I couldn't care less if they raise and bred here or if we sign from Australia, all I care about is the performance levels and commitment of the players playing for us. For that reason I also don't care if they 21 or 30. Our best play since Heskey is been quite imaginative, that's for sure, and interesting you picked another Leicester boy as the previous best player, so I take you have a heavy bias towards home grown players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about David Nish and Dennis Rofe, they were a million miles better than Chillwell. Nish was a Rolls Royce of a player. What's funny is we still have a better left back at the club, who is a EPL winner at that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrysalis Posted 22 January 2020 Share Posted 22 January 2020 (edited) No need to be rude and start swearing, explain why you disagree. Imagine team mates thinking they don't have a fair shot at a place in the team simply because they were not born in Leicester, yet you call it stupid.

I apologise, I was shocked at the part I highlighted. I don`t care where they are from, but the age thing is a huge differentiator. Ben is tantamount to a kid (Makes me old I guess), like a lot of them, and kids are distracted, have their minds on what they see and have little experience of coping with pressures both internal and external. All them laughing and joking during training and maybe even during games, does not necessarily show their demeanour 24x7 Sure he knows he has been sub (sub) standard of late, and is told how to cope, but he has to do it, and he has little experience of doing so As always, we all want the same 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He means best player you have produced, not best player overall since Heskey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambert09 Posted 22 January 2020 Share Posted 22 January 2020 If we got alonso as part of this deal id be pretty happy. Im actually a big chillwell fan but Alonso is a match winner. He'd be worth changing to a 5 at the back for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essentially been asked to play in the wrong position though. Defensively he's not at it, so against strong opposition another alternative might be wise. But having someone like him against teams set up to frustrate us would be amazing. The thought of him and ricardo on the same pitch would terrify any defense. The issue is that it would also please alot of wingers. But as part of a 5 you can get away with it. Either way, if we were to loose Chillwell, we'd need someone else who also adds to our attack as this is vital to the way we play as we get most of our width from the fb's.

The People's Hero Posted 22 January 2020 Share Posted 22 January 2020 Alonso is a highlight reel player. Sadly he has reserved a few of those highlights and telling contributions for against us. Important to keep hold of Chilwell unless he simply doesn't want to be here; in which case sod a player in exchange... take the cash and keep our powder dry. You get your pants pulled down in this window. £750 milllion please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Shep Posted 26 January 2020 Share Posted 26 January 2020 Should just change the name above our stadium to Old Trafford at this rate, might be easier then signing all of our players plus we are probably closer for most Man U fans anyway.
