MPH Posted 28 July 2020 Posted 28 July 2020 we’ve had some very well-timed injuries. might have cost us 1 place in the league but we are definitely keeping pereira., possibly chilly and maddison is signing a new contract. Blessing in disguise. 1
happy85 Posted 28 July 2020 Posted 28 July 2020 (edited) EXCLUSIVE: Ben Chilwell will tell Leicester that he wants to quit to join Chelsea |@JamesNursey mirror.co.uk/sport/football… Edited 28 July 2020 by happy85
Dave Fishwick Posted 28 July 2020 Posted 28 July 2020 what a sliding doors moment this entire 2020 has been. If we make CL we probably keep him, our left side looks very weak without him
Leicester_Loyal Posted 28 July 2020 Posted 28 July 2020 There's no way they'll pay the fee IMO, especially if they're buying a new keeper. 4 years left on his contract, I think he'll stay another year then go next summer. 2
Lesta2014 Posted 28 July 2020 Posted 28 July 2020 Was at the training ground in the gym today judging by his Instagram, maybe he told the club then! The article isn’t based on anything factual, just the usual unsettle a little old Leicester player as we don’t want anyone stepping into the wankfest of the big 6!
VLC86 Posted 28 July 2020 Posted 28 July 2020 Anyone who doesn’t think this has been happening in the back round for months Is dilusional.

Heymister2015 Posted 28 July 2020 Posted 28 July 2020 Thomas has been crossing like Trent Alexander in his few performances. I think we have more of a player already. Also captain of England under 19’s. So showing maturity and leadership at such a young age. Sell Chilwell 4

Either way, between the pair of them I'm happy to let chilly go and spend up the other end. (and cb) 1
Heymister2015 Posted 28 July 2020 Posted 28 July 2020 Thomas has a great way of delaying a cross and pinpoint! A lot of goals conceded were from chilwells side! So I’m not sure why chelsea who are trying to shore up there defence want to sign someone who is no better than what they have defensively! Happily take the money and spend it further up the pitch 1

Thomas looks a better all round player to me and can cross a ball unlike Chilwell. Take Chelsea's money fast before they change their minds!!

Recon it will be £50m plus add ons up to £60m.
VLC86 Posted 28 July 2020 Posted 28 July 2020 Also, Chilwell will be a miss but isn’t irreplaceable. That said, his replacement isn’t Thomas yet so maybe give the young lad who only made his debut due to many injuries a chance to succeed rather than hyping him up. I expect he goes on loan to a Championship team unless he stays for cup games. 2
Stevosevic Posted 28 July 2020 Posted 28 July 2020 Very comfortable with this for the fee we'll get. If it funds better attackers, which is where we're lacking then so be it

It would also mean Fuchs is our backup LB (assuming we'll sign another first choice one) for probably half a season. I still don't know where Justin prefers, LB or RB? Might also have some sway towards what happens.

Monsell1976 Posted 28 July 2020 Posted 28 July 2020 If the fee is over 60 mil I will laugh, as he’s worth nowhere near that, appalling offensively, crossing isn’t great, and defensively isn’t a top end player worth 60 mil and reported 170 grand a week 😂. Not a bad player, but nothing special either
Monsell1976 Posted 28 July 2020 Posted 28 July 2020 On 27/07/2020 at 09:48, Jon the Hat said: You think with our 32-40k stadium (even after expansion) in Englands 13th largest city will be able to compete with Spurs and Arsenal in their 60k stadiums in London, a world city of 12M+. While I admire your optimism, it isn't realistic. If you visit old Trafford, Anfield and the bridge, the amount of tourist going to the game due to the clubs global exposure is ridiculous, I would personally hate it if we became a tourist attraction to fill the stadium, but that’s what happens to big clubs, and the atmosphere gets dampen by it in my opinion
Leicester_Loyal Posted 28 July 2020 Posted 28 July 2020 How the heck can Chelsea afford: 48m on Werner - 170k a week 35m on Ziyech - 100k a week 70m + add ons for Havertz - 100k or so a week it's got to be surely? Then they want a new keeper, Oblak is being named and he's gonna cost 75m + too. Then they want a new CB and now Chilwell too?! That's literally going to be about 300m in transfer fees alone.
TMELcfc Posted 28 July 2020 Posted 28 July 2020 Keep trying to type something reasonable and concise but to the point... But I can’t. So I’ll just say it - couldn’t give a s*** if he left, don’t like him, can’t defend... And same with Maddison rumours earlier on this season, couldn’t give a s*** if he left either... There I said it. Sorry Everyone

shailen Posted 28 July 2020 Posted 28 July 2020 If we are resigned to losing Chilwell, I'd like to see Jamal Lewis here. Not the biggest name but I liked the look of him when I've seen him play. 1
