Sly Posted 19 May 2019 Posted 19 May 2019 Linked to Alex Telles, as a Ben Chilwell replacement, according to OneFootball https://1.ftb.al/VKG474WXOW
Tuna Posted 19 May 2019 Posted 19 May 2019 Would be our first ever Brazilian player. But I don't think we'll sell Chilwell.
Gerard Posted 19 May 2019 Posted 19 May 2019 Porto fans said Telles was much better than Riccardo last season when we bought him. If Chilwell left this would certainly ease the pain especially at the article's price of €25m.

Guest SO1 Posted 19 May 2019 Posted 19 May 2019 I read his buyout is 36 mil. Pounds or 40 mil. euro. Also read that Atletico Madrid is extremely hot for him. If that's the case I don't see him coming here as we have no European football to offer him. I can always dream.

lcfc sheff Posted 19 May 2019 Posted 19 May 2019 We signed ricardo, so I’m going to say anyone saying “we’ve got no chance” is being rather silly... Sell Chilwell for £60m get this lad in for half price seems like a no brainier.
Nick Posted 19 May 2019 Posted 19 May 2019 Yes please but I don’t think we will be parting with Chilwell this window.
Grebfromgrebland Posted 19 May 2019 Posted 19 May 2019 Richardo wasn't wanted a by a host of champions League clubs was he?
Grebfromgrebland Posted 19 May 2019 Posted 19 May 2019 We have lost one marquis player each summer who we've wanted to keep. Who will it be this year?
Bluearmyfox28 Posted 19 May 2019 Posted 19 May 2019 Will I get slaughtered for thinking he’s actually an upgrade to Chilly?

Not from me, he is actually better right now. But you never know with players like this if they will be able to make the move to another league and adapt as that's always a risk. Just because Ricardo did it, there is no guarantee Telles would. Chilwell has the better potential though. Many teams are looking at the number of sprints per game Chilwell has (highest in Europe for a left back I believe) and probably believe that he can be molded into a truly world class left back. He is also from our academy so it would be sadder in me eyes if we start selling players we took a long time to develop. However, if you lost Chilwell and gained Telles, you might actually have a better team in the short term. Personally I would have thought a much bigger team would be in for Telles. To be honest I am sort of surprised Man City aren't one of them! Ricardo was a player I was 100% confident would be a great player for us. I'd be exactly the same on Telles, he's just a damned good and very consistent player. I felt like we only got Ricardo because of Puel, so unless Telles is secretly Northern Irish I can't see him here! And anyway I'd prefer we kept Chilly tbh.
Langston Posted 19 May 2019 Posted 19 May 2019 One of the only things that winds me up in footy... Hate it when people say fat ronaldo instead of proper ronaldo.
jonthefox Posted 19 May 2019 Posted 19 May 2019 He's got some well 'ard tattoo's . It's a yes from me.

I agree with you completely, I don’t want to lose Chilly the way the boy sprints down the field in the 90th minute is amazing. I think Southgate will have a big say on his future personally. Truth be told the only other replacement I’ve potentially thought of incase we lost Chilly was Tierney for obvious reasons. However if we are to lose him Telles would 100% be my first choice. You never know the pull of playing In the premier league can sometimes simply be enough. I would say that was the case for us with Ricardo.
UniFox21 Posted 19 May 2019 Posted 19 May 2019 Plays for Porto, as did Ricardo, guess there could be a link there. But surely only happens if Chilwell goes?
