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.
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.

Agreed. He is English though and EPL clubs seem to always pay out of the nose for Brits. He has a different skill set than Alonso, but I don’t see him as an upgrade. The best argument for him is that with that different skill set, he gives Lamp’s some options.
Still, there are much better prospects (and at a much cheaper price) than him. If they sign him though, I will obviously pull for him to succeed. I just don’t get why they would sign him.
