If you don't pay up, we won't sell. No. I can see us reaching a compromise at around 60 million plus ad ons, looks like we are pretty determined to sign him. But in any case, you should have no problem replacing him, were he to leave, there are plenty of alternatives on the market right now, which actually makes our obsession with Chilwell a bit weird in my eyes.

Legend_in_blue Posted 29 July 2020 Share Posted 29 July 2020 Don't understand why Chelsea want him. Alonso is a better player, I'd rather have him here than Chilwell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I do find it a little strange this seemingly strong push for Ben as there quite a few decent options on the continent, even Jamal Lewis from Norwich would be a reasonable option (although perhaps not for Leicester as we have an up and coming LB I imagine we would not like to block). It also costs another 30m for his right foot, but you would need to source that from somehow else as we certainly have not seen it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricey Posted 29 July 2020 Share Posted 29 July 2020 One big negative of selling him is that he counts towards our homegrown quota for the Europa League. Also British players value will no doubt go up once the new Brexit rules kick in. He’s younger than Maguire was last summer and is England’s first choice left back. I suspect we’ll aim for £80M but I’d accept lower. Selling Chilwell wouldn’t weaken us too much but could make up for missing out on the Champions League financially.

I would just like to add that Simon Johnson ( also pretty good for chelsea) said about a month ago, that he would be surprised if Chilwell didn´t join Chelsea, and said that he expects the fee to be around 50M pounds. Make of that what you will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGLCFC Posted 29 July 2020 Share Posted 29 July 2020 (edited) Like I said in an earlier post, you can get a quality left back from the continent, who may turn out to be as good as Ricardo, and still have £50 mil left to improve other areas. It is possible, Chilwell, Gray and maybe Praet could depart (as I think he is frustrated at his lack of game time), which would raised over £100mil, added to whatever transfer budget Rodgers has been promised. This could give us the scope to really redevelop the squad, particularly if we get rid of all the deadwood like Slimani, Silva, Armarty, Diabate, Ghazzel, James and Mendy.

That leaves us having to sign at least 2 central midfielders, can't see that happening. Assuming he hasn't fallen out with Rodgers, Praet will get plenty of game time next season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We compromised with man utd over Maguire at 85 million. I think a fair compromise here would be 80 million plus a couple of your decent youth team players. 60 million is way too cheap.

Bert Posted 29 July 2020 Share Posted 29 July 2020 7 hours ago, Fox92 said: Surprised though? This is the same players who gets criticised from our fan base regardless of the game he's had. To the point where the manager put his arm around him and pointed at him in front of the fans. We will miss how fit he is up and down that left constantly. I’m not surprised but I don’t think his burning desire to leave is because he gets stick from our fans, that’s something that as a footballer you should just expect, and of course that doesn’t make it right. We’ll miss him when he’s gone but I’m hopeful we can get another season from him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post urban.spaceman Posted 29 July 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted 29 July 2020 (edited) We should just close the thread and pin the Maguire one from last summer to the top to be honest. The papers, bloggers and magazine sites are going to be posting all sorts of drivel all summer - that the deal is done for £50m; the deal has been done for £60m; Leicester might take £70m plus add ons for winning the Carabao Cup; Chelsea are now pursuing other players in that position; LEICESTER are now pursuing other players in that position; "he's only worth about £40m" says retired Chelsea legend; Leicester want a world record fee but will have to be more realistic and accept a lower offer; Chelsea hope Chilwell will help lower the asking price by handing in a transfer request - (this one has already happened today) - none of them know anything, it's all clickbait bollocks and I won't believe a thing until Percy says it. We should all know the deal by now. Leicester don't want to sell. Leicester don't need the money. So either give us a world record fee or stop wasting our time.
