Good luck to the lad. Every one of us would have made that jump from a career/security perspective. Wish him nothing but good luck.

Good luck to him. I think we'll miss him a lot more than many others seem to think. I also think it represents a very good deal for Chelsea if it only costs them £50m.

Been up on our Twitter handle for the last couple of hours.

Good luck to him. Never really understood why our fans never fully took to him. I have a feeling he'll shine over there. 

[Nalis]

JUUUUUDDDDAAAASSSS!!!  When we burning the effigy outside the KP?

[StriderHiryu]

Good luck Ben. Think we've done well out of this deal, but it always hurts to see an academy prospect go. Thanks for everything you've done for Leicester.

I think Lampard will develop him into an exceptional left back

[roblcfc84]

Good luck to him

If he thought the leicester fans were bad after an average performance , wait till he sees all those plastic chelsea fans. Enjoy Leicester away Ben.

[The Horse's Mouth]

Good luck joe mattock

[Fox92]

I like him and he wasn't half as bad as some of our fans make out.

 

I tend not to wish "luck" to a rival player though. We need to be fighting these for a similar placed position in the table.

[Izzy]

Never saw this coming. Big shock.

[StanSP]

Reckon he's probably wanted to leave for months and months. His reaction after the FA Cup QF loss spoke volumes. 

 

£50m for him is big. Potentially more as time goes on. Yes we could have got more up front but it's nothing to be sniffed at. 

 

Just hope we reinvest properly...

[The People's Hero]

Just a shame Man United never came in last minute with a £110million bid.

[KFS]

Meh 

[coolhandfox]

Good luck Ben.

 

And good luck Frank, the amount of money Chelsea are spending anything less then challenging for the title and his in trouble. 

[J.Lisemore]

Good luck to the lad. Made decent money from him too. 

[foxoffderby]

Thanks Ben and good luck....could of done with getting a few more bob out of that lot but hey ho 

[NaijaFox]

BEST OF LUCK TO HIM

AND THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES.

 

But that’s an awful shade of blue.

Good luck Ben.

 

Hopefully he'll be the last one we sell to Chelsea. 

 

From what Percy said I'm pretty sure the £50m announced figure will be a lump sum up front, with more instalments to come - probably a total of £65m - then add-ons on top. 

 

Brilliant business to from the club to develop a player then sell him for so much/

[TiffToff88]

Funny how all the Chelsea fans on social media who didn't want to sign him seem to have mysteriously disappeared

[Spudulike]

Another pantomime villain when he comes back (covid permitting). 

[HybridFox]

 

[Blue ROI]

Disappointing that he left but inevitable with the wages offered. 

 

He wasn't as good last season as he was in 2018/19 and perhaps not as good as fuchs defensively but still a big loss to us. A much bigger loss to us than Maguire.
