gurru991 Posted 2 February 2019 Share Posted 2 February 2019 The Premier League itself is designed to keep the "Top Six" healthy & wealthy. Clubs that try to bring young players along get pillaged by the big boys who can offer wages and Europe. Hard to blame Chilwell & Maguire for wanting to play at the top level but as long as the big boys can cherry pick the other 14 clubs just make up the numbers. It was VITAL that we finished 7th this year so that we could offer Europe to the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Man City/Spurs/Arsenal came in for Maguire and Chilwell do you honestly think they'd choose to stay here just because we got into the qualifying round of the Europa League, which 7th place doesn't even guarantee anyway? If they're offered a massive pay rise and Champions League football they're gone, they're not going to be convinced to stay by us getting handed a draw against the Israeli champions or Cypriot runners up in August, are they? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edingleyfox Posted 3 February 2019 Share Posted 3 February 2019 I don't think Ben Chilwell will leave in the summer.He has only established himself this year and has long links with the club.I think we might allow one of our better players to go most likely Harry Maguire, particularly if we end up in mid table with little to play for and no chance of Europe.

Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 3 February 2019 Share Posted 3 February 2019 They’ve just mentioned this on Talk Sport with Tony Cascarino saying Chilwell isn’t good enough defensively!, maybe he’s not seen the huge improvement this season. Not that it matters to them but they have 2 good left backs already in Mendy and Zinchenko, either of which I’d happily take plus cash should Chilwell want to go.

Talk Sport haven't watched the Liverpool game?? Last season I would have agreed, that was his weakness. However this season he's improved massively in that department and is still improving. But they can keep saying that and hopefully the club interested in him are listening and not make a bid. But for me, he's been cracking this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayfox26 Posted 3 February 2019 Share Posted 3 February 2019 We will no doubt lose 1 player in the summer like we have done the past few seasons but i highly doubt Top would sanction more than 1 to leave. It will be between Maguire, Chilwell and Ricardo id reckon. Most likely Maguire as im pretty sure the reason we signed Benkovic and Soyuncu was for when Maguire eventually leaves.

Double the average wage at Spurs and their wage bill is still less than Man City.

In saying that I'm sure Chilwell is no different to anybody else with ambition The wage bill maybe low check out the bonus payments though. The total still has them top six without lifting a trophy.

Wow me defending spuds I must be ill. Not ridiculous at all. Whether They cant afford or just won't pay is irrelevant. The point i was making is that they should not be mentioned in threads regarding the potential sale of our players as there is not a chance they are signing any of our top players.
