foxes21 Posted 5 August 2017 Posted 5 August 2017 Do we really trust our recruitment to replace Drinkwater with the right player? I know we have James, but going into the season with James, Ndidi, Iborra & King would be underwhelming. (Mendy is leaving & Amartey is being touted to play in defence). We'd have to sign a quality replacement for Drinkwater to compete with James, Ndidi & Iborra. Unfortunately we'd probably end up with someone like Elneny. Really hope Drinkwater stays.
Guest MattP Posted 5 August 2017 Posted 5 August 2017 I think people are being a bit short sighted here saying accept the bid. When you lose the engine it's always a massive problem, we will miss him big time. This isn't a huge amount of money.
MikeyT Posted 5 August 2017 Posted 5 August 2017 Jim White: Top source reveals @ChelseaFC boss Antonio Conte wants Virgil van Dijk and is big admirer of Danny Drinkwater.
4everfox Posted 5 August 2017 Posted 5 August 2017 Let him go and then we can sign Mario Lemina for 15 million from under Stoke's noses

I agree on this one. It's either going to have to be Sigurdsson or at least someone who can pick a pass. There aren't too many achievable buys in this league that can do that consistently.
ARM1968 Posted 5 August 2017 Posted 5 August 2017 Then look outside this league. Where did we find Mahrez, Kante, N'diddi? there are players around who would cost way less and could do a job. You could get Ziyech and Boulebouz in for less than Sigs.
matty98 Posted 5 August 2017 Posted 5 August 2017 I don't have a problem with him being sold but we have to replace him as James' injury record could come back to bite us and I'm unsure if Iborra is good enough.
foxinsocks Posted 5 August 2017 Posted 5 August 2017 I would back drinky to have a geat season.... rather have him than 37m

Can we ban these two players names please
Babylon Posted 5 August 2017 Posted 5 August 2017 If we can find another N'didi it's not a problem, we find another Inler I think we'd be in trouble. I like James but he does tend to pick up the odd injury. I don't want King anywhere near the starting 11.

dylanlegend Posted 5 August 2017 Posted 5 August 2017 If we sell him (hope we don't) we should demand Lewis Baker in return, goo young English CM. or perfect opportunity to bring through Harvey Barnes
Babylon Posted 5 August 2017 Posted 5 August 2017 Not a single decent source has reported this yet... for now it's filed under "bollocks".
moore_94 Posted 5 August 2017 Posted 5 August 2017 If he goes, put that money straight into getting either Siggy, or Adrien Silva.
FoxinNotts Posted 5 August 2017 Posted 5 August 2017 5 minutes ago, Babylon said: Not a single decent source has reported this yet... for now it's filed under "bollocks". Agreed. I refuse to care, unless a good source quotes it.
ARM1968 Posted 5 August 2017 Posted 5 August 2017 Depends which sauce. Most of them these days are compromised one way or another. Shady links to betting sites infiltrating many.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 5 August 2017 Posted 5 August 2017 Very surprised at how many people seem happy to let him go.
m4DD0gg Posted 5 August 2017 Posted 5 August 2017 All those pinning their hopes on James are misguided. Yes he had a good game last night but he is crocked.
ithuriel Posted 5 August 2017 Posted 5 August 2017 Tell Chelsea to go and do one and tell Danny if he puts the effort in, will make him the captain.
EnglishOxide Posted 5 August 2017 Posted 5 August 2017 Doubt he is going anywhere. It would do our image no favours if he and Mahrez leave even after we just got Iheanacho.
Fox92 Posted 5 August 2017 Posted 5 August 2017 Drinkwater is the only midfielder we've got that will pick up the ball, turn and drive. I do not want to let him go. But I don't believe all this rumour to Chelsea anyway.
