You think he'd actually prefer Hassenhuttl over Brendan Rodgers?

He’s seen livramento and Broja go there and be first choice.

if he came here he would be first cover (or possibly second) 

 

it’s not about the coach ……

If i was a young player i’d look at how he supported Madison during a tough time and when everyone lost faith in him… he stuck by him. now he is the man everyone is calling to help win the world cup. 

 

I think if anything, this has been his greatest achievement as our manager. 

 

Im not brendan’s biggest fan but the players like him, they’ve never once stopped playing for him imo

If he goes to Southampton and we've not made a serious attempt to sign him then I'll start to get extremely concerned we really don't have any financial flexibility which would be a huge concern for our future

He will be first choice at Southampton, but 3rd choice for us. The other Chelsea players who went to the Saints all got a lot of game time. So I could see why he might want to go there if it was offered. Saints also often allow buyback clauses, I'm pretty sure Livramento has one for example.

 

But you'd think that if we match the offer we will get him given our track record over the last 3 seasons.

Yes I'm not saying there's not a possibility that Colwill would turn us down but given he's been reported as our number 1 target for the LCB role then it would be galling if we didn't go for him if available because we can't afford £20-25m. It would be hugely alarming.

 

The good thing for us is although on paper it would appear he'd be 3rd choice, we tend to play a chunk of each season with a back 3 so he'd be in for those games and Evans can't stay fit for longer than a few months at a time so he'd play a hell of a lot of football anyway and we would blow Southampton out the water on wages.

I'm a quite heavy critic but I think this is true. I think he's never really lost the support of the players and there were plenty of times I thought he would do.

 

Maddison one peculiar for me. Was he playing through injury or what?

He had a hip injury which he really struggled with for a while (and still does to some extent I think). The fact he came through that to reach heights he'd never hit before and the waistcoat willy puller still doesn't consider him is really outrageous.

Straight swap for Cags? Well, would'ya??

 

Chelsea in need of an experienced CB. We like the look of Colwill. There's a deal to be explored. He'd get games with us, he wouldn't just be "3rd choice",  we'll rotate given Evans' injury record.

 

So, yes, sod the difference in relative values, Cags for Colwill could be a convenient deal. 

[JimJams]

Yes, definitely.

Not sure we could convince Chelsea that Cags, who Brendan believes isn't good enough to play for Leicester, is good enough to play for Chelsea...

According to the BBC only be a loan deal

Better than nothing if it’s us. 

[Jimbo]

How can anyone question a potential players belief in Rodgers?

 

Look at how he brought Justin through, from league 1 to the England squad, that alone would be enough to convince a lot of players to come here and play under him.

 

Fofana, slightly different because he's a class above, but still a young man making a very good name for himself. 

 

Thomas and KDH now permanent fixtures in the match day squad. 

 

Madison has flourished under Rodgers to a point that even most people outside of Leicester can't believe he's not an England squad regular.

 

If he doesn't come here, it won't be because of the pulling power, or lack of, from the manager. It'll be because of game time or because of the fact that Chelsea currently are severely lacking in central defenders and he may see some game time there and think he can follow a similar path to Reece James.
