Welcome to Chelsea Ben Chilwell

Would rather we got someone like Gaya, who would likely be cheaper than Chilwell and could be a better player too, and keep Emerson.  Sell Alonso, ASAP.  After this run of solid form, his value is as high as it will ever be.

Aye. Then we have the funds to go for someone like Havertz or Sancho to replace Pedro. Willian probably have 1 season left in him. We still need a backup CF for when Giroud hangs his boots.

 
I couldn’t tell you but Dave can cover LB/RB and Zouma/Rudiger has played at RB before too.

I know they’ve both slotted in there in the past, but I don’t want Zouma or Rüdiger anywhere near our RB spot.

 
Would love to sign him, can do anything Emerson can do and can defend as well.

Overrated domestic player. We need a world class left back, or just a decent replacement for Alonso.

We already have Emerson who is world class imo. And if he's injured, can move Azpi there like last night and have RJ at RB which i think works well

3 guys for 2 spots is not what we want to do, one injury and we’d be in terrible trouble.

Best imo would be to buy a backup left back but Chilwell's pricetag isn't for a backup...And I think Emerson is better anyway so for the big money we should look to get a player that is obviously better than Emerson at least.

Yeah thats a good shout. We could even bring up a good academy prospect as a LB if we do have one thats of a similar standard to RJ at RB at least, but im not sure if we do atm.

We could always promote an academy player, or guy someone versatile like Ake who can play in many positions.

But buying another player for that position almost seems pointless as for the majority of the season they are barely going to even play a game, and a lot of them won't be happy benchwarming

I think we all agree that Frank would promote an academy player, but I think some have gone overboard with that model.  We will still need to utilize the transfer market to add to the team, and I think this is one of those times.

I can understand your point, but we have Emerson and Azpi (who's shown he actually plays better as LB than RB after that A**x game)

and thats if we even end up selling Alonso, so whats the need to go and buy a another LB when it'll probably be more beneficial to us to promote a youth player who can get some minutes here and there?
