I'm not sure he'd want to go though given the experience Mahrez has had and Drinkwater at Chelsea. He's a local lad grew up with the Club and always been happy here. A sale would however certainly get rid of the new Loan and keep us financially stable for years to come. Plus the Summer would give us time to get a suitable replacement in. I'm not sure there isn't a bit of a sea change going on regarding transfer fees. There's been a lot of dross purchased for a great deal on money and I wonder if clubs are becoming reluctant to splash the cash in the same way. January is a bad time to buy but the number of loan deals seems quite significant. Probably always likely to be mega signings but not so sure it will be as widespread as we have seen. Then there's brexit and what that might entail for football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we had moved on from that scenario? Kante moving to Chelsea hit us hard but after that we’ve learnt our lessons - no release clauses, and no more than one crucial player leaving in a window/season. We also proved with Mahrez last year that we won’t be bullied either. Last summer worked out brilliantly for us - by selling Mahrez for £60m+ And the hilarious sale of Musa we managed to finance most of our purchases and allowed Puel to upgrade the squad, which will be a long process but is way overdue. We sold our best attacker but spent very well by upgrading defence and adding a new dimension for attack. In the summer if we sell Chilwell (or more likely Maguire), the fee will likely be higher than Mahrez and we can continue upgrading the squad, hopefully for a European tour... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazarron fox Posted 1 February 2019 Share Posted 1 February 2019 The thing about the Kante release clause is this in my mind. we don’t have a release clause and he don’t come we don’t win the league no one is any the wiser and Rudkin is spared from being public enemy number one. he signs only because he has a release clause we win the league and he goes and rudkin is now public enemy number one so did rudkin have a major hand in us winning the league? Just asking comments on a postcard No I’m not Rudkin ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But clubs are being compensated to the tune of 10 to 15 million for academy players. Chilwell has that distinction being with us since his former years. That surely has to be added to any market value he has as a player. I take your point Brexit will make a difference, it will make it harder for Clubs to bring in foreign talent unless their internationals. That must mean that quality local talent will command a premium. We may not reach the silly figures of recent seasons but I wouldn't let Chilwell go for less than for 60 plus million. Personally I'd prefer to keep Chilwell and sell Maguire if we have a choice, As we're covered for Maguire with plenty of CBs. But while I don't see us as a selling club anymore, I do think one big sale in the Summer could go a long way to getting the new Training facility paid for. Either way things are looking good going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Claw II Posted 1 February 2019 Share Posted 1 February 2019 While I don’t think we are a selling club (and Chilwell is on a long contract), if a top 4 club comes in, then it’ll be hard to keep our star players if they want to go. Would you really begrudge Chilwelll or Maguire wanting to play CL football? Ricardo is the other one I fear losing, the rest (inc. Maddison) have more to prove before the big boys will really start to circle. hopefully we are established enough that a move to a West Ham, Everton etc. is seen as a sideways step.

Yeah but they ****ing won't! These clubs just use their endless wealth to pick apart teams like us, stockpile our best players and leave us floundering with an average squad going nowhere. Chillwell and Maguire would have a few bad games and be thrown in the bin, just like Riyad and Drinky. I ****ing despise the 'top 6'. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnup Posted 1 February 2019 Share Posted 1 February 2019 The only thing that would keep him would be us challenging for top six. Building something bigger and pushing towards the top 4. That’s not going to happen. He’ll be off in the summer I’d say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdb Posted 2 February 2019 Share Posted 2 February 2019 Absolutely play hard ball with this. The money would have to be astronomical for them to get arguably our best player, academy graduate and a young England starter. He’s twice as good as Mendy so they can start there. Be so gutted to see him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splinterdream Posted 2 February 2019 Share Posted 2 February 2019 If you don't have a replacement as good than the player your selling, the team is worse off. I think Chillwell will be better for Man City than he will be for us so if the fee is right his loss won't impact us as much as Kante/Mahrez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUltimateWinner Posted 2 February 2019 Share Posted 2 February 2019 Both our fullbacks will be in high demand over summer. I honestly think Ricardo and Chilwell could probably walk into any team in the league. Especially Man City. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All good enough for top 6 teams. If we can add a couple more players and keep them together we're on the verge of having something really special. If.
