Its a football opinion that places Chilwell well down the pecking order when making a comparison with our current fullbacks. I don't think anyone is trying to trash him or put him down. I believe we have rapidly moved on to another level since Chilwell left but that doesnt mean I bear any animosity towards him (as said previously). Perhaps he'll flourish under Tuchel. I wish him all the best. Chilwell is better than Thomas. The gap is closing rapidly. Chilwell was the third best full back on the pitch when we played Chelsea. Reece James gifted us a goal.

It's been said that Luke Thomas is showing greater potential and faster progress than did Ben Chilwell at that age. Who is more value to the club right now, 19 year-old Thomas or 24 year-old Chilwell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas has potential and at the moment seems to have a better attitude. Hopefully he’ll fulfil his promise and be a great player for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read it earlier and it is spot on and pretty much backs up what many of us have thought for a while. The "big clubs" absolutely hate us crashing the party and want the "big 6" to be the top 6. The owners at Man U and Liverpool are desperate to either form a breakaway league or for the "big 6" to have complete power. I'm sick to death of their entitled attitude and them being so dismissive of 'smaller teams'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which to be fair, we weren't. He was only ever a caretaker here I had completely forgotten Rob Kelly existed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carroll, Wilshere, Lingard etc. Guaranteed they will sign him permanently in the summer. He'll play just well enough for it to look like a good deal then as soon as it's made permanent, his form will absolutely tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe as an england squad player he didnt want to make a mistake.. so he controlled the ball and then pondered what to do before passing backwards. Just what southgate wanted.

I think that when we say this it is more a case of having a laugh at Chelsea's expense rather than Chilwell's and also to promote our club's transfer achievements. We have sold a full back and bought in two of better quality for Half the price. Isn't that something worth smiling about? You would have to be a saint not to poke Chelsea fans with that particular stick. Personally I have no feeling whatsoever for Cjhilwell, he's a Chelsea player, but plenty trashed him when he was here not just because he left us. He had good spells for us but also bad spells, particularly 2020 when I suspect that he was mentally already playing for Chelsea. The original comment was that we have four left backs that are ‘ahead’ of chilwell. Which was false yesterday and is still false today. We subjectively have two that are and in my opinion we have one (JJ) as Castagne I believe plays better on the right, Ricardo has only ever played on the left for Nice and Thomas although looking promising is still way off the level of the rest.

dynamark Posted 26 January 2021 Share Posted 26 January 2021 Whatever you say selling Chilly for that money with what we have now was good work.Check back on my posts Chilwell and Maguire for that matter were popular because they were easy on the eye ran forward with the ball looked good.I have yet to see a run with the ball that beats a quick 30 yard pass.Both were and still are safety first sideways england style players but decent .We have now exciting direct confident group who know how to score and win Im happy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the post you replied to and that I quoted didn't say anything about having four fullbacks better than Chilwell. A previous post said 'probably' and I agree, that Thomas is not yet at Chilwell's ;level but I think he will get there. It's all opinions though, I think we have three fullbacks that are better than Chilwell, you don't have to agree but it's irrelevant really as my post was addressing the fact that you are calling out fans for trashing Chilwell for leaving. I am saying that those fans trashed him when he was here and the rest of us are simply mocking Chelsea's recruitment in comparison to ours.

It was a while ago when I was first discussing and may well have misremembered who said who. Ultimately it's all subjective opinions and the wonderful thing about football for me is how differently it can be interpreted by different people. That being said I do feel as a fan base we seem to act particularly badly towards ex players who have moved on (not a dig at you but a more general point). I can understand Mahrez being disliked but I have no problem with players like Chilwell who moved on in the right way and wish them well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think he’s won anything that he wasn’t expecting to win, it’s hard to judge. He has a very similar win lose ratio there to Unai Emery, who then massively flopped at Arsenal. He did get to a champions league final, although his route to the final was possibly the easiest it could be in that high level of competition. - Not playing any teams from England or Spain along the way. Time will tell, but I don’t see anything from him that stands out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
