Any truth in this @LinekersApples Drinky looking very likely to go. Long term interest in Nzonzi, but player wants European football.

That's good news. So how would you suggest getting players to stay who have ambitions to play at a higher level than us? Don't keep it a secret.

Like I said earlier in the thread I have never posted ITK information and only posted this as they would have absolutely no reason to make it up.
KingsX Posted 15 August 2017 Posted 15 August 2017 Chelsea ready for $155 million spending spree Chelsea’s poor preseason and start to the Premier League season was always going to lead to this. The Daily Mirror reports that the Blues will kick on with deals for three Premier League regulars with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Danny Drinkwater and Virgil Van Dijk top of Antonio Conte‘s wishlist. Following their 3-2 opening day defeat to Burnley at Stamford Bridge it is believed Roman Abramovich is now willing to back Conte heavily to help his rebuild of the reigning champions. As for Drinkwater, 27, the England international did not feature for Leicester City last week against Arsenal through injury but the Foxes are stacked in midfield with Wilfried Ndidi, Andy King, Vicente Iborra and Matty James around at the King Power Stadium. Chelsea’s opening offer of $22 million was laughed away by Leicester but with N'Golo Kante, the injured Bakayoko, youngster Jeremie Boga and Cesc Fabregas the only central midfield options for Conte after he sold Nemanja Matic to Manchester United, it is an area he wants to strengthen and Chelsea will offer closer to $30 million for Drinkwater. Drinkwater is said to be keen on the move to west London to try and force himself back into the England setup, but will he really play regularly for the Blues? One thing is for sure, Drinkwater’s partnership alongside Kante is one which dominate the Premier League in 2015-16. http://soccer.nbcsports.com/2017/08/15/report-chelsea-ready-for-155-million-spending-spree/

st albans fox Posted 15 August 2017 Posted 15 August 2017 I wonder if the nzonzi ITK rumour is deliberate to try and stop the fanbase moaning at DD's departure and no effective replacement obtainable i hate conspiracy theories !! - sorry

Will1981 Posted 15 August 2017 Posted 15 August 2017 I think N'zonzi would probably come to us as he will be at least doubling his wages.
STUHILL Posted 15 August 2017 Posted 15 August 2017 Will be a mistake by Drinky to move to Chelsea if he has aspirations of playing for England again. He is considered a starter for us, but will be going there as a squad filler for them, much the same as Andy King is for us. Will get a handful of games etc but that's about it. If he could rediscover his form with us, then he would start again every week and put himself back in the England squad. We have seen these types of deals before with Man City and Chelsea signing a hard working player performing well in a smaller team, and how many times do we see them rarely getting a game and sitting on the bench for 2-3 seasons before they are eventually sold back to a smaller club. I do think we would cope fine without him, but still think he should stay with us for his own good.

I think Drinky would quickly establish himself in Chelsea's first XI along side Kante as their only other options are Fabregas who is getting on abit and had disiplinary issues and Bakayoko who has only had 1 good season in a poor league.

I just don't think he is good enough personally but obviously he was outstanding in our Championship winning season, so if he could get back to that level then perhaps you are right.
foxes21 Posted 15 August 2017 Posted 15 August 2017 Delph would be a downgrade on Drinkwater. Problem is we aren't going to be able to upgrade on Drinkwater, or buy a player on his level.

AjcW Posted 15 August 2017 Posted 15 August 2017 Are we just going to start each new page with a debate about Delph?

Problem is we aren't going to be able to upgrade on Drinkwater, or buy a player on his level. We will. If you're talking English or "proven PL" player then it'll cost more than what we sell Drinkwater for. But I have faith in our scouting system and there's no doubt there's still gems out there.
Jon the Hat Posted 15 August 2017 Posted 15 August 2017 Delph has something to prove, I wouldn't mind seeing him here. Said the same for Townsend.
