Jazzy_Jeff Posted 5 August 2020 Posted 5 August 2020 I can see us getting £60m rising to £65m with addons. with the pandemic I don’t think as much money will be thrown about and Chelsea have spent a fair amount already.

Swings and roundabouts though. If we sign a 25m LB who's expecting to start most games, then Chelsea will play hard ball knowing we have to sell. Unless we tell the new LB he may be a squad player for the first season or something. 2

My heart bleeds for them. If they've done their nuts already then they'll have to find more or offer players + cash which suits us. The deal must suit Leicester City more than any other party. If not, f off and get one of your fantastic young academy players that you keep going on about. 1

At this level, you would expect players to know they will have to work for their place in the team. 1

dylanlegend Posted 5 August 2020 Posted 5 August 2020 Everyone talking about replacements? We have Fuchs who is better anyway and 3 weeks ago our 19yo youth prospect Luke Thomas was the best LB in the world!? 2

The best outcome is to keep our best left back (who is also England’s left back) for at least another year ..... 2
GingerrrFox Posted 5 August 2020 Posted 5 August 2020 £50 million upfront £20 million in instalments £10 million if they win the League or Champions League I’d accept that.

What we waiting another year for? Never gonnna get more than 60m for a left back may as well sell when he’s at a premium before he turns in the next Danny Rose
st albans fox Posted 5 August 2020 Posted 5 August 2020 Thankfully none of you are responsible for our transfer dealings ! Chelsea have the money and they will be expected to pay. Just like yanited this time last year ...... lampard wants chilwell and I can’t see the owner wanting to disappoint him after the good season he has had ......
Scotch Posted 5 August 2020 Posted 5 August 2020 I wasn't speaking about selling Maguire, I was referring to trying to sign a CB when everyone and their dog knew we where sitting on £80m.
Ric Flair Posted 5 August 2020 Posted 5 August 2020 2 hours ago, StanSP said: I heavily doubt our recruitment team have been sat there twiddling their thumbs wondering what to do and then suddenly realise they need to get working to find a LB. We'd have been scouting for best part of 12-18 months. Not a chance we don't have some targets lined up. Ordinarily I'd agree but when we sold Maguire the 3 CB's we immediately turned to were all obvious targets such as Tarkowski, Dunk and Ake. It was as if we hadn't done any proper due diligence and thankfully didn't bother.
North Leeds Fox Posted 5 August 2020 Posted 5 August 2020 Wouldn't surprise me if man City came in for him. They are doing a big overhaul and not sure FFP appears to be much of a problem anymore...
Mehrez Posted 5 August 2020 Posted 5 August 2020 All this because of an exclusive from ‘Football Insider’

We were apparently scouting Ben White early on in the year and this Fofana guy looks exciting too, not to mention Demiral who everyone on here is crazy about for some reason. I am confident about our centreback possibilities. The right wing, which we haven't replaced properly in years, is what I'm tired about. I hope whoever we get in can finally replace Mahrez. Or just forget about wingers entirely. Edited 6 August 2020 by Nicolo Barella 1

Nicolo Barella Posted 6 August 2020 Posted 6 August 2020 24 minutes ago, st albans fox said: Given that a chunk of the buying would be a replacement for Ben, maybe not ........... There's plenty of quality we could get for £20-30 million at left back. The rest could buy 1-2 difference makers.
Sly Posted 6 August 2020 Posted 6 August 2020 Both Chelsea and Manchester United have turned the attention to Alex Telles, as he’s available for £40,000,000 .......
PrecociousFox93 Posted 6 August 2020 Posted 6 August 2020 Apparently Chelsea are looking elsewhere...
