He’s as valuable as Maguire was surely? So surely say 75m isn’t acceptable 😱 CB hold a lot more value than wing backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but both unproven in the PL.

OK, Chelsea finishing 6th, or 5th if Man City's ban isn't overturned would be enjoyable. Just a little less catchy you know?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wymsey Posted 21 June 2020 Share Posted 21 June 2020 (edited) We shouldn't be seen as a 'feeder' club to the ''elite'' clubs. Chilwell, Maddison etc need to look at the situations of Drinkwater and Kante (the former, in particular) - where moving to a ''bigger'' club didn't help them maintain their performance levels and become under scrutiny somewhat from the media in terms of not being as good/consistent as they were after leaving LCFC. Need to certainly try and keep the top talent, in order to compete much more in all competitions. The club doesn't need money, and should continue to develop their young talent further in order to hopefully gain success with their services.

It's a balance of affordability for the model we are on as a club in the short term and planning for the long term. Our youth and training ground isn't ready just yet, and it's going to take 3/4 years before we see our model changing as we are bringing through prospects. Up until that point we are going to have to sell one or two players a season to balance the squad in other areas. The club can hold out for a higher fee cos we've sorted the contracts. An area we've in the past where we've been naive or haven't been able to negotiate tight deals should big teams come knocking. So we're in a very strong position to demand fees. We need to bring in a couple of experienced (not old) players to help us with a Champions League campaign. Wages and transfer fees need paying. If we get the top end of rumoured fee for Chilwell then we can do this and more with prospective Champions League cash. I'm not one of those who wants to sell. But if he's made any real suggestion to the club that he might consider a transfer, then we keep our options open, I'm fairly confident that we've scouted in particular areas of key players for contingency. Whether they're available that's another question, and whether we can get a decent deal and attract them to the long-term plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we want to keep them we need to pay more money in wages to them. We can't compete financially at this moment with the bigger clubs. Higher wages have a knock on effect for the rest of the squad wanting more money too. I think Chilwell is the most replaceable of the young stars. If it means we can improve the squad then so be it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gutted when he left as I personally thought he was phenomenal. I truly understood his decision for wanting to leave though. As good as the 15/16 team was, it was about the sum of its parts, rather than having great players in every position. He was a world class player and moving to Chelsea made sense. We were screwed money wise but I’ve never wished him anything but good luck since he left. I’d take him back in a heartbeat. Drinkwater for the money we were offered was a no brainier at the time. Kante made him a better player and it’s shown since he left us. I wasn’t bothered about him leaving then and wouldn’t want him back now. Maguire I didn’t really rate for his obvious flaws when he was with us. From a footballing sense, joining Manchester United made little sense, so it was all about money. He was always replaceable for that amount. You see sections of the Manchester United fan base turning on him, as he’s a major weakness which can be exploited. It doesn’t help that they partner him with Linderoff, that is also slow. I wouldn’t have him back either. I was gutted to Mahrez leave, as he won us games. I was also annoyed about how he went about leaving. I fully understand why and maybe it just shows the ethics side of football to be unethical and immoral. I’d take him back in a heart beat, on the provisor that he wanted to be here. However, reading between the lines and the quotes that you see, that won’t happen. Then you had the one that didn’t go. Jamie Vardy. He rejected Arsenal, who were in a similar situation to Manchester United when Maguire rejected them. He’s gone on to be a true club legend. Potentially the greatest Leicester player ever. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dooflip Posted 23 June 2020 Share Posted 23 June 2020 Happy to see chilwell leave. Of all the players linked with moved away he’s probably the most replaceable and least important. So if he’s the important player that leaves this year I’ll take that. Just hope we can get telles in. That would be a major upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bablemikey Posted 23 June 2020 Share Posted 23 June 2020 I really hope we keep him. He’s not the finished article and will continue to improve. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
