Chilwell

What I saw from Chilwell last season was great energy, consistency, composure, defensive improvement, good touch, rarely if ever having a bad game and looking like some progress was being made on his delivery - plus getting himself into the England set-up and staying there with some fine international performances. That's not to say there weren't still areas to work on, notably crossing and adding more assists and goals, but his game had improved in a lot of areas to the point where he had absolutely nailed the number 1 left back spot to the point where the talk had turned to whether we could keep him rather than whether we should find better.

So far this season, he's looked well off the pace in comparison. The club need to get to the bottom of it.

Or cash in on yet another vastly overpriced asset and replace with someone better?

Personally I'd tend to keep, for assorted reasons already mentioned.

DM,

That’s fair enough

My only slight retort would be around the England bit. I never know why people use that as evidence for a player’s level when 90% of games are against sides of very poor quality. But the evidence that it’s seen fit to pick him for the international team in the first place is valid.

Anyway, I’m done with this issue now as there are far more important matters to discuss on the ‘Wag Fight’ thread.

My view is without BS asking for blood samples to prove it,as i said in the past my boy was at college with some of Chilwell's mates and they said he wanted to go to Liverpool but that fell through and he has no particular alliance to LCFC as he's from Milton keynes i think.

So maybe he is just unhappy and wants a move nad this is coming out in his play, its just a thought?

If big teams are interested but not sure, playing badly is not the way to stay on their radar.

Why would he go to Liverpool to only play in the League Cup?

Man City would be the obvious choice as you have to defend less there. Can Pep fix his lack of quality in the final 3rd?

Well he's fixed it for Raheem Sterling, so it's possible.

I always use this example that rubbish players can do ok with great management and with great players around them 😉

So we just need to buy Sergio Aguero, Kevin De Bruyne and David Silva - and Demarai Gray will look like Messi.

If only BR realised it was that easy!
