Message: [QUOTE="The True King, post: 3553581, member: 9651"] I don't know about that. White was brilliant at Brighton and one of the best CB's in the competition in 2020/21. The same logic could apply in terms of going under the radar because he wasn't at a top side then (Brighton were 16th). I think his versatility is a major factor in why he's rated so highly too, he was on the shortlist for best RB in the league last season and he can cover the entire backline. $50mil for him looks like a bargain now and after seeing Colwill again this morning, I think that would have been great value too. Both of them are a cut above Kilman, who while I still rate, isn't in that conversation. Agree on the whole Chelsea thing and their struggles to develop elite players from within to the first team are well documented. I think Colwill ends up being an exception to that rule (like Mount and James), largely because Poch fancies him but also because they haven't blocked his first team minutes (like they did with Loftus-Cheek, Hudson-Odoi, Livramento, Gilmour etc). I don't think that's intentional or great planning either, they just happened to get injuries to Badiashile and Fofana that opened the door for Levi. [/QUOTE]
