I am from Huddersfield and occasionally head down to watch games with a friend of mine who's a season ticket holder. He goes to home and away games pretty much religiously.

When they first brought Chillwell in he mentioned a young lad they'd got on loan who was only young, but needed, as Davidson (the starting lb at the time) was shockingly bad.

He only played 8 games for Huddersfield before he was recalled, I saw him play twice, my friend 7 games and said he's the best player town have had talent wise in a very long time and is adamant that he will start for England later on in his career if he continues to be able to play and develop.

Going forward he was the driving force for them from what I saw. Good with the ball at his feet, can pick out a pass, likes to play one-twos, pacey and very, very direct. In terms of position, he still probably needs some work, however he's already got the intangibles you can't teach. He looks very, very promising.

Personally, if we brought him in I would be very happy and I'm sure it wouldn't take too long for his natural quality and ability to show through.

His style of play is for sure suited to the PL.

Tomsbakery, i have watched him a few times for Huddersfield too and as well as looking good going forward I always thought his positional sense when defending was very good, albeit not against premiership players. When he was recalled he left a big gap in the Huddersfield team that they weren't able to fill!
If he does come to us then i would be quietly confident that he can become a regular.
When watching him he used to remind me a bit of Finnan (that will please ED01).

I agree with the Finnan comparison, which fairs well at such a young age.

The reason for me bringing up position as i maybe only saw him make 2/ 3 mistakes and they were by being slightly behind play, either playing opposing player (s) onside or due to bombing forward and therefore not being in a position to get back. However that being said, he looked a fantastic player for certain and with some tweaks and further higher level experience, I feel could be a real player wherever he ends up playing his football. Hopefully Liverpool.
