Hernandez wasnt even a starter for atheltico madrid though and he wasnt sold to direct competition. If he's the benchmark then chilwell should cost way more than 70.

 

How much is "way more than 70"?

Heard the overall fee is agreed but they can’t agree on the structure of the payments, we want a big wedge of it up front and Chelsea want to stagger it more evenly over the course of Chilly’s contract with them. It’s gonna be more than £60 million though if rumours are to be believed. 

 

Heard from where?

 

You don't need to be specific.

He's under contract and LCFC have an asking price.

Accepted but that in no way answers my question.

I have no knowledge of an amount being 'agreed' but it wouldn't surprise me.

 

The hold up on the Maguire deal was on how it was structured and LCFC engaged in a bit of brinksmanship and got their way there - United had to pay a much larger chunk up front than they wanted to.

 

What the other poster said therefore wouldn't surprise me... but I thought the two clubs were still quite a way apart in the valuation. Its no secret that Chelsea want him. We would want a lot of money and would likely want the bulk of it up front (in my estimation)

 

Sorry as this doesn't really move the conversation forward.

skybet odds now 1/20 …… means nothing really but never seen odds as short as that without a deal being done within a fairly brief period thereafter …...

That statement was very similar to a tweet from LCFCHQ

Do they have a reciprocal price to stay?

 

If not then it means the square root of diddly squat. 

[TJB-fox]

Always found the mighty fin to be very reliable (probably the only ‘itk’ that I trust on here) and didn’t he say recently there’s been no bid or no contact from Chelsea?

[Sly]

I wonder if it could be they buy Chilwell for £50m. With someone like CHO coming the other way for £30m?

Definitely not CHO, he's on 120k a week.

Unless Chilwell puts in a transfer request (which kills his loyalty bonus from the deal) then I wouldn't be surprised to see this go world record for a left back territory.

 

Again, just my 2p... I don't want people coming shouting me down!

 

(That's if he even goes!)

No one does any more -

 

they don’t want any more money placed on this move happening. We know these markets are only small but the basic point is that 1/20 says it will happen. They are actively dissuading any bets being placed

Kingy gone too, there's another 40-50k a week saved. The money we've saved in Kapustka and King going has gone straight into Maddisons new contract though.

We had to pay the majority Kapustkas wages to get him off the books.

Of Abrahmovic was smart he'd get one of his Russian cronies to bung 20million on for a bit of cash back.

Could they not simply close the market?

I assume you’re joking, because the max stake is usually fairly low on these markets. Low meaning about £20. 

[The People's Hero]

If they offered the fair odds of 20/1 against him staying, I'd be all over that....

 

Take it all with a pinch of salt.

Of course I'm joking. Obviously you'd get a million of them to do twenty each.

1/20 without a reciprocal price says to me they probably know nothing. There will be a subset of people who see 1/20 and bet it because it must be a "sure thing". If Chilwell was 12/1 to stay at Leicester then I'd say they knew something but you can't bet on that which is telling.

 

The same as cutting Chilwell from 1/20 to 1/50 doesn't necessarily mean he's more likely to leave.

 

I've just looked at SkyBet's transfer specials and it's a mugs market with the shocking prices on offer. We're 5/4 to get Brooks and we haven't even been linked to him.

Been told by someone who works with Chelsea, I used to work in football and we went to uni together. I’ve been told it’s over £60 million but don’t know the exact figures obviously. Chilwell is adamant about leaving to go to Chelsea, doesn’t want to go anywhere else and again take it with a pinch of salt but apparently he’s prepared to hand in a transfer request if needed to get it over the line.

  Out of all the stock.images he could choose, he chose that one!!!

  Never was a fan of Baker and put him in the same class as Clarkson and Trump.

I really don’t agree it was deliberate.

I think he will hand one in too, he'll be going from about £55k a week here to possibly quadruple that so the loss of a loyalty bonus will quite quickly be replenished.
