Popular Post urban.spaceman Posted 5 June 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted 5 June 2020 Rudkin really knocked it out of the park in 2018 didn't he? Maguire on a new 5 year contract ready for sale. Chilwell on a 6 year contract. Ndidi on a 6 year contract. Kasper secured until 2023. Vardy secured until 2022. Signed Ricardo, Soyuncu, Maddison and Evans. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfox Posted 5 June 2020 Share Posted 5 June 2020 If he so desperately wants to go then I’d happily drive him there myself. In a season where we’ve done superbly well, Ben Chilwell hasn’t. He has had a shocking season, been at fault for numerous goals, been extremely frustrating to watch and on many occasions he’s deservingly been berated for his poor form and his mistakes. I’d easily take £60 million for him, but if we can hold out for £80 million then like a few have said already, we’ll be laughing all the way to the bank again. Supposedly Lampard is after a left-back who can defend and attack, Ben Chilwell is bang average at both. Losing him wouldn’t be a big deal, there’s a good few left-backs out there who we could get at a decent price, and who are better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kante Mahrez Maguire Even with all the sales we make only 1 million profit on last accounts, massive wages to turnover ratio, KP revenue destroyed by covid, I be surprised if we dont sell a first teamer. Arguably Maguire was sold to league rival as we was expected to be going for a CL spot this season. if you want to be a big club you have to act like one, selling a key player every summer isn't what big clubs do, unless its to a foreign club 17 minutes ago, Ric Flair said: Dortmund regularly do it and still at times piss all over Bayern. I've no problem with it if the player is expendable and/or the fee is obscene. With Maguire and likely Chilwell it's going to be both and that's is just too good to turn down. no they don't Bayern are about to win their 8th title in a row...

martyn Posted 5 June 2020 Share Posted 5 June 2020 (edited) It's a Maguire situation all over again. He'll go and be half decent at Chelsea i suspect, but for the money, we could make another leap forward. I'd accept £60m, but knowing how we operate, i suspect if he goes it'll be £70m or above. It'd be nice to keep him, but like Maguire was, he is the most expendable of the 5 players who we know are coveted, and would command a large fee (Ndidi, Ricardo, Soyuncu and Maddison). We have to be realistic as well and understand that this model of selling 1 prize asset each summer is likely to continue.

Goober Posted 5 June 2020 Share Posted 5 June 2020 Of all our 'big' players, Chilwell is probably the one we can afford to lose the most. Last Summer I'd probably have said he was the most likely to leave after Maguire. We'd do well to get a ready made replacement better than him, nevermind one of his potential, but the club have shown that they're more than capable of doing so in the past. Happy if he stays, happy if we manage to rinse Chelsea for a massive fee and find a good replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 5 June 2020 Share Posted 5 June 2020 I'm a big fan of his but: A) He's probably one of the more easily replaceable players in the starting eleven B) His progress has stalled noticeably over the past year or so C) I would back our scouting/transfers team to get us a replacement of at least equivalent quality with the £60m-£80m being rumoured As with every player, if we're confident we can use the money to improve the squad then I'm fine with selling him.

Detroit Blues Posted 5 June 2020 Share Posted 5 June 2020 (edited) How does the transfer window work with the season resuming in the summer?

StriderHiryu Posted 5 June 2020 Share Posted 5 June 2020 24 minutes ago, moore_94 said: Would love any of these as his replacement, Wijndal at just 20 looks really good Skov is a left winger, I think he's been categorised as an LB as sometimes Hoffenheim go 352 wingbacks and he plays as LWB. But he is not the same type of player that Chilwell is at all, even though he's quite a good winger. So he's not a replacement option for Chilwell as he's more like Harvey Barnes than Chilwell! From that list, Gosens stands out to me as a great option. Would get on well with the other Belgian lads and would be really steady and consistent. Basically the LB version of Praet, who is very well regarded for good reason by most on here. He's also been playing regularly for Atalanta in the Champions League, who have been doing their very own Leicester City impression in Serie A by taking on and beating many of the big boys. That's a top league, his team plays high pressing football and he's the right age to come in and settle right away, but also with enough years left in him to be a mainstay for several years. The outstanding LBs in Europe are Tagalifico and Telles, but Gosens would be a very "Leicester" type of signing. Under the radar, not that well known but would probably end up fitting like a glove. Could probably get him for a fee that would be cheap for us and interesting to Atalanta too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not what I want but rather what I think we will do, our owners have consistently showed in recent seasons they wont bankroll us, they want the club to be self sustaining, do you have a reason to think that will change whilst at the same time their core business is in tatters? Or is it just a "keep the faith" thing? The only thing this summer is we will have CL revenue to look forward to, but there is a chance the CL wont even happen next season and the revenue is lower than when we were last in it due to the new payment system they setup to give more money on coefficient. To act like a big club without spending beyond our means, we need to do something about our revenue levels. Sort out the KP sponsorship which is really low, and get the stadium work done to get matchday revenues up.

North Leeds Fox Posted 5 June 2020 Share Posted 5 June 2020 As a replacement, I'd personally go for any of: Gosens Castagne as can play both sides Tsimikas Firpo Saka - if possible Stevens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our 'history' of selling players; - A world record fee for Harry Maguire - Man City's record fee for Mahrez - Kante due to a release clause which was learnt from. You make it sound like we sell for cheap or on mass like Southampton did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poznan34 Posted 5 June 2020 Share Posted 5 June 2020 Here we are again with the "big clubs don't sell"/"we can't be a selling club" argument. What we need to be is a smart club. Selling Chilwell for £70m/£80m when we can sign a replacement for £30m is the smart choice. We can't act like a Big 6 team on less than half the revenue (see tweet). I'd say the one big sale a year is working pretty well: 19/20 - Maguire covers the cost of Tielemans, Perez and Praet 18/19 - Mahez covers the cost of Maddison, Ricardo, Soy 17/18 - Drinkwater covers the cost of Maguire and Iheanacho Yes, they don't all work out but show me a club where they do. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/leicester-city/alletransfers/verein/1003 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
