It is, but the article merely stated that's what they'd have to bid and not what they would. They aren't spending £75m on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fazzyfox Posted 8 March 2019 Share Posted 8 March 2019 Amongst the big six you see a "best fit" for certain players based on competition for place, playing style etc, for example I see Maguire as Chelsea or Utd but not Man City, Liverpool or Arsenal. For Chilwell I've had a horrible feeling it will be Spurs, I just see him fitting in when they switch from back four to wing backs, they have a few young English players already and he seemed matey with Tripier when they played the other week. I don't rate Davies particularly highly and Rose seems to be turning into a grade A P***k, maybe his pace is going but he just seems to be over aggressive, late into challenges and missing from his position when caught on the break. Going against that though is A) Spurs don't tend to spend big, they may be due one or two but with the new Stadium / cheese room to pay for might not. B) If Tripier carries on his current form he won't be a part of their future! C) They may prefer to offer Rose plus cash plus a selection of Brie and Camembert but we can say NO! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal build from the back and their centre halves are, for want of a better word, shit. Except Sokratis on the odd day. Maguire would be ideal for them, but I think United are probably a better fit in terms of the actual club for some unidentifiable reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urban.spaceman Posted 8 March 2019 Author Share Posted 8 March 2019 Can see them “panic buying” and paying well over the odds in the summer in case they get fines and or a transfer ban from UEFA and now the Premier League’s investigations.

psychonaut Posted 8 March 2019 Share Posted 8 March 2019 Cant see them offering 75m but 50-60m most def. Which would be in line with Mendy and Walker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH Posted 9 March 2019 Share Posted 9 March 2019 i always associate Man City with going for world class players at the top of their game... i wouldn’t quite put chilly up there yet. he might well be there some day but it’s hard for me to imagine Man City breaking their transfer record for someone in that bracket. I consider this his breakthrough season onto the world stage and it’s dangerous going to a really top team after one good season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s dangerous but if they are being investigated for FFP buying a young promising English player with experience of the league could be a change of tactic for them. No doubt it’s a risk, it would be a risk for us turning down crazy money for him as well especially if Tierney might just for half the amount.

Zinchenko is rarely if ever defensively tried, and when he has been, he's looked defensively and positionally shaky this season. Defensively, Chilwell is significantly better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oxford blue Posted 10 March 2019 Share Posted 10 March 2019 We need to keep him for at least one more season - he will continue to improve through guaranteed game time. If we sell we would need to buy in (I had hoped Elder could be his replacement but he has hardly played for Ipswich so probably not).No Fuchs next season so without both, we could be struggling in that position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets into some great advanced positions, which in itself is a great skill, but rarely does he create an opportunity for either himself or his teammates. His goals and assists tally are below where they should be. That's not to say he can't improve this area of his game. He's got time on his side.

(including me at the match) .. when they go down I’d try and get him ... only 25 plays full back or left sided midfield ... not complaining about Chilwell, but ... IF he went, Bryan would easily plug the gap ... at worst give him some real competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
