Ben Chilwell Signs for Chelsea

[Manwell Pablo 5,452]

Good player but assuming the right people are doing their jobs at the club we should be able to land a very good replacement for half that.

Boo. 

I don't trust anyone who doesn't use a capital 'I' in writing.

Kante and Mahrez have done well.

 

Dunno why people compare Drinkwater. He's literally one example.

 

And before anybody says Maguire, he was always nothing more than decent and never worth the money.

It’s wrong to compare his situation to Drinkwater but personally in my opinion Drinkwater looked to have more potential at the time.

There’s some salty folk on here, he’s moved on to a bigger club, accept it and move on. Good luck to the lad I say and now watch him get his only goal next season against us!

Good riddance to bad rubbish 

what are you 12? did he take your gf?

 

Youth product to 50m, established himself as England left back 

 

190k a week 5 years. 

 

50m in the Club coffers, good luck to him

Capable of some great performances for sure but imagine the stick he will get from the army of plastics if he puts in a Southampton at home style performance for Chelsea

That's the game i was thinking of.Ran the ball out of play with no one around him.Remember asking my mate did he think that Chillwell was pissed at half time!

What  

 

Not a chance he bench-warms.

 

He's signed to be their first-choice left-back ahead of Alonso. 

 

Don't understand the draw of Chelsea? They're literally in the Champions League and have pretty much doubled his wages at the very least. They quite clearly are ahead of us.

Ahead of Alonso.....suppose we'll see.

[Royston. 1,853]

I would rather have kept him but if he wants to go....

 

I predict he will crash and burn at chelsea. Unless they use him in a way that masks his flaws, he will get drinkwatered. 

We may not be able to spend silly money on a replacement but chelsea can and will.

I still think he goes even if we finished in the CL spots!

I can think of £190,000 reasons

He will as frank will back him.

 

But I'm not convinced he's better.

[totbl 90]

Would take 50mil for him all day long, in reality overrated, we can do better and Chelsea isn't a good move for him. Lampard won't last there and they won't be challenging for trophies

[Bert 6,332]

Anyone see Gray’s post on insta and think it was a dig at the club? Or is that just me? 

[LCFCCHRIS 337]

Based on current evidence, we came off better here if it's 50m+... Providing we bring in a replacement at a sensible price.

You don’t spend that much on a player to let him be a back up. 

[Wymsey 4,601]

Just glad that Maddison etc have signed new contracts..

[Oldhatter 0]

James Justin is a better complete left back and will prove it next season

The one with Chilwell and the 'butterfly'? 

 

I don't see it as a dig.

I don’t even get how people can be angry tbh, it’s  good business.

Not any player either, he’s a left back ffs.

 

50 million on a full back safe to say he’s playing until he serious under performs consistently.

They've not signed him to sit on the bench, seriously. And not paid £190k/w to him for the privilege of doing so.

 

They're ahead of us as a club in pretty much every single way. I don't know if you're overstating our status as a club or underestimating them, or both. 

Don't work like that, we didn't sign slimani to sit on the bench or not be involved,  high wages is not going to guarantee him starting if hes shit simple as, but chelsea are in so many ways in frònt of us unfortunately.

I think spending £50m on him is enough to say they’ve watched him thoroughly and they know they’ve signed a fantastic player that is only going to get better.

Yes mate. Maybe just me then. Feel like it’s Gray saying he can spread his wings because the club held him back. But maybe that’s down to Gray’s own social media scripts.
