Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted August 12, 2019 Subscriber Posted August 12, 2019 Chelsea manager Frank Lampard wants to sign Leicester City defender Ben Chilwell when the Blues' transfer ban ends. The England international, 22, is rated at £70m. (Sun)
Administrator Stan Posted August 12, 2019 Administrator Posted August 12, 2019 Mugs if they pay that . Love how there's a rumour about next summer already
Cicero Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 Happy with Emerson at the moment. May feel different towards the end of the season.
cb_96 Posted August 15, 2019 Posted August 15, 2019 Ignoring the fee would be a top quality signing for Chelsea (at the end of the season ofc!). Appears would fit into Lampard’s philosophy of building a younger squad at Chelsea as well. Always thought Arsenal would go for him before they got Tierney like.
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted November 16, 2019 Author Subscriber Posted November 16, 2019 Manchester City are interested in striking a deal for Leicester and England left-back Ben Chilwell, 22, after growing frustrated with France international Benjamin Mendy, 25. (90min)

Cicero Posted December 4, 2019 Posted December 4, 2019 A couple correspondents of ours list Chilwell our #1 priority this summer. If true, going to break the record of a full back no doubt
Teso dos Bichos Posted December 4, 2019 Posted December 4, 2019 Good player but definitely not worth that much. Still has a lot of developing to do before he can reach the level of the top fullbacks like AWB.

He also has many more caps than Wan-Bissaka, and played twice as many games. On an unrelated not, I hate it when people break down relatvively simple names into acronyms. Isn't really hard to type 'Oxlade-Chamberlain' or 'Loftus-Cheek'.
Dr. Gonzo Posted December 5, 2019 Posted December 5, 2019 Chillwell's one of the few players from the league I'd be wanting us to sign if we didn't have Andy Robertson. Second best English left back after James Milner.

I think they even offered around 10m for him but Leicester clearly knew he was going to be worth a lot more than that years down the line
Administrator Stan Posted December 5, 2019 Administrator Posted December 5, 2019 Can't see us letting him go cheaply and I guess it would also be up to the player. If we qualify for Europe it's a massive plus point in persuading players to stay. Not short of cash if £££ is what he's after as well. I think Chelsea will end up with him. Liverpool I presume will have Robertson for a good few years to come and Chilwell won't get in ahead of him.
True Blue Posted December 5, 2019 Posted December 5, 2019 We are struggling at left back even with Emerson while Alonso is definitely leaving in the summer. Azpi can cover every position at the back but with Chilwell and James on the flanks i would be super excited. However 70 mill is too much even for a young talented English player. We will be loaded for the summer with our sales and not touching the budget but let's wait and see.
Cicero Posted December 5, 2019 Posted December 5, 2019 James—Rudiger—Tomori—Chilwell That’s a solid back line tbf. Leicester will milk us and rightly so given we essentially stole Kante

We were a bit of a mess in that era other than one year and a lot of the players we signed then that now we know are good players... didn’t look anywhere near as good. On the other hand he was only a kid wasn’t he? So he might have just been ace with the kids and then come into the first team around when we signed Robertson. So it’s probably the best for us, Chillwell, Rodgers, and (obviously) Leicester that things ended up the way they did. I love Leicester’s fullbacks - if we didn’t have the fullbacks I’d be so jealous tbh.

I love Leicester’s fullbacks - if we didn’t have the fullbacks I’d be so jealous tbh. To be honest, I tend to agree if Chilwell moved to you at the time (when he'd have only been 17 or 18?) he'd not be as good as he was now. In his Players Tribune article published the other day, he speaks about working his way up through Leicester's ranks and then being shipped out on loan to (at the time) David Wagner's Huddersfield. He said his spell in the Championship there really helped him and helped build his confidence playing at a higher level as opposed to just with other similar ages in the Youth/Development Leagues. Obviously he could have been shipped out on loan if at Liverpool but it seems as if things have fallen in to place with Chilwell coming up through the academy. And with a lot of Leicester players to be fair after they'd been loaned out when younger (Choudhury and Barnes especially). I also think if you'd have signed Chilwell, you'd have not signed Robertson (or been less likely to). It's all swings and roundabouts! I love that across our 2 clubs we have an abundance in quality in defence. The full-backs really are top quality.
Cicero Posted June 2, 2020 Posted June 2, 2020 Rumors fee agreed. 40 million. I can get behind that. @Stan @Dan

Our recruitment is strong so I have faith in that. For his own sake I hope it doesn't turn in to a Drinkwater-esque move. For everyone else's sake, I hope it does

Deco Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 I feel this would be a great move. Chilwell would be an excellent addition to Chelsea's defence and I could see him bouncing off of Tomori and James. As for Leicester, they'll be certain to find a strong replacement. They have a great presence in the league at the moment and have drawn in some world-class young talent. I feel that Grimaldo would suit them well.
Subscriber Dan+ Posted June 4, 2020 Subscriber Posted June 4, 2020 To be honest I'd sell for the right fee but we will look very weak if we end up caving in at forty million even in this climate. I heard over double that earlier in the week so nobody really knows. I think if we sold him and bought Grimaldo we're a better side for it.
