Subscriber Dan+ 1,914 Posted July 29, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted July 29, 2020 Mail reporting that he's told us he wants to go. I think it makes sense for all parties for him to be sold. We're not going to have a massive net spend again this summer especially now we've bottled the top four, I think Chilwell will raise more money for us than he's actually worth to our team. Therefore just sell. Luke Thomas genuinely did not feel like much of a step down from him, if at all, which is some going given he made his senior debut a fortnight ago. I don't think Chilwell's all that good if I'm honest with you. Chelsea fans are quite hard on their players. I don't see them being big fans of him unless he really steps it up.

Good. He's an asset (of some sorts) to us. So if you want him, pay up. Like Grealish is to Villa (a better example). He's worth more to the club than it is for the buying club to pay. Just how it is. The daylight robbery of Kante being sold for only £30m pretty much started this. No release clauses in contracts and we will play hardball so that our players aren't just going to get picked off by the bigger clubs. The selling club should always set the price they want. If a club doesn't want to pay that, then they can do one. It worked with Mahrez and especially Maguire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaaay AFC 357 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Anything over £50m and Leicester will have done very well here. If they get £80m that would be even more astonishing then getting that for Maguire. Not entirely sure why Chelsea are so desperate for him, surely there is better options out there?

And during a time we need to strengthen elsewhere, this was never going to happen. Good piece of business here. Loan with option to buy (23million).

Chaaay AFC 357 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Fair enough that deal makes much more sense. I just don't see how you could justify spending £80m on a LB who is probably only marginally better than Alonso. That sort of money should be going towards a CB.

Subscriber Dan+ 1,914 Posted August 7, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted August 7, 2020 I'd sooner we bought Reguilon and Chelsea bought Chilwell to be honest leaves us with more money to strengthen elsewhere. I think selling for over the odds is better than its given credit for. Liverpool don't win the league if they never sell Coutinho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan 18,349 Posted August 15, 2020 Administrator Share Posted August 15, 2020 Sorry but you've all bought in to the Twitter hype. We're not even back in training yet. The tweet you've all fallen for is that he's 'packed his bags and has left the training ground'. Pretty sure Chilwell is still on holiday This is from one of the very, very few ITKs on our forum: Quote No bids No talks No contact Highly doubt this will be happening this summer. Paper talk.

Cicero 5,265 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 We very well could. Chilwell’s fee was always going to be the issue with almost all the available budget is going towards Havertz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously we’ve done really well with the Coutinho money. But we reinvested the Suarez money really poorly. Really really really poorly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carefreeluke 722 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 This popped up on Twitter earlier. Kepa - Morata Pulisic - early signs are good Jorginho Torres - Wasn't that bad but 50M for him? Especially considering 50m at that time was considered a lot more than it would be nowadays. Bakayoko Kovacic Drinkwater We'll have to wait and see how Werner and Ziyech get on but only two of those at a push you could say have worked out positively. Kovacic divides opinion and I'm not overly sold on him at times but he has had a relatively positive influence on the team it has to be said in terms of technical ability and ball retention and things like that. Anyway, food for thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
