Manchester City are plotting a stunning move for £50m-rated Leicester City defender Ben Chilwell, according to the Daily Mirror.

I don't even know who that is and they rate him at 50M.

I think City proved why having proper wing backs is worth what ever investment.

He's a good young LB playing for Leicester who recently made his England debut.... but £50m? 

The football world has gone mad.

Not really, ours cost us £12m combined.

Anyway, they just spent over £100m on FB's didn't they?

It's why Utd couldn't compete with them according to Mourinho!

Why do they need another FB stupidly quoted at that price?

And yet they dominated all premier league records last season 

I didn't give them stick for investing in their weakness nor did I give you lot stick for Allison or VVD. It needed to be done. 

Mendy looks to be struggling with finding full fitness. Chilwell could well be worthy of the investment from what I've seen.

Yeah maybe, I just think £150m on 3 FB's is a little excessive.

I don't understand the valuations anymore, seems like a player's value is totally arbitrary. Chillwell's a good player though - but so was Shaw before he made the similar sort of move, so it's hard to say how it'll pan out.

Shaw went for 25-30? 50 sounds about right in today’s market

From an England perspective it would be good to see him developed by Pep.

Is your name Jose Mourinho? 

This seems steep but I rate Chilwell. Not that this is any more than paper talk right now and if it goes through it'd probably be more like 40m but I do think it's a worthwhile investment for City. Delph as second choice left back is one of their few weaknesses and it's not like they'll blink at having to pay 40m-50m to improve their squad.
