Fuck that. He’s the typical old school English centre back. All physical strength and “leadership“ but very little skill or craft, or speed. Just because he’s big like Dier doesn’t mean they’re similar - remember Dier is a converted midfielder.Not going to be a popular opinion but I'd actually rather we went in for Maguire if he's available - reckon Conte would turn him around, you only have to look at Dier.
It makes no sense that Chelsea would sell to us. Why would he trade Chelseas bench for ours, thinking about it Chelsea don't need the moneyWelcome everyone to the Chalobah thread drinking game. Please take a shot everytime:
1. Someone says Chelsea don't need the money.
2. Someone asks why he would trade the Chelsea bench for ours.
3. Someone notes Chelsea don't do business with Spurs.
4. Someone uses phrase "makes no sense".
Please remember to drink responsibly and should you die before even getting 3 posts into this thread, be sure and call a cab to the afterlife. Never drink and drive.

Fair points. But a player of Maguire’s experience and expense, he’s no backup option.One of Maguire’s best attributes is ironically being a playmaking defender, bringing the ball out from the back, it’s why we were linked with him under Poch when we played 3 at the back for a season.
He would be far more suited to our system, I just think he’s completely shot of confidence, the fans hate him and he needs a fresh start.
I only mentioned Maguire cause I’d assume the Chalobah link is because we’re looking for a home-grown backup option.
