Eh, he's good and a for sure upgrade on what we have.


I am not a fan of Chillwell. I personally don’t see him as an upgrade at all. I can think of three or four other players that I would prefer in that spot. Our issue is at center back more so than left back. We need to upgrade the left back spot as well, but I don’t see him as being the signing to do it.

For the price, he's probably the guy I wanted least of everyone we were linked to. He's not a superb defender. Better than Alonso? Yeah. As good as Alonso going forward? No. You're essentially paying 50+ mil for a guy who is an okay upgrade over what you have. And we're talking about a LB, not a striker or anything. This is like almost world record type money for that position. He'll be like the second or third most expensive outside back ever in a deflated COVID market. The guy isn't even close to that good.
