He’s not the finished article yet so why would we spend a year developing him and letting him make his mistakes if we get no long term benefit. loaning youth won’t help us close the gap. The only loans that make sense are for wantaway seasoned pros .. like the lingard deal or youris.

A loan with a fee agreed next summer maybe, give him a season here, let him settle in, enjoy himself, get used to the place then purchase him next summer under the knowledge that he'll be first choice CB alongside Fofana for the next couple of seasons. Also allows us to spend the transfer money this season elsewhere, as next summer we'll have a few contracts expiring in 12 months which will free up the money. Not sure Chelsea will want to loan him to us though, reckon they might prefer Brighton or Southampton. 1

His uncles were star players in a non-league side there that won the FA Vase. That ... a club's training facilities and staff ... and first team football might be more decisive points than a few pounds more or less. And will be infinitely more decisive than what some LCFC fans think of Rodgers. This is about what is most important to a teenager trying to establish his life and career. The way people on here project their own thinking onto this pulls the discussion way out of shape. Edited 30 June 2022 by KingsX 2

indierich06 Posted 4 July 2022 Posted 4 July 2022 Sounds like De Ligt will end up at Chelsea - along with Kounde. This will surely open the door for Colwill to leave in search of first team football - really hope we're ready to strike on this one if and when the opportunity arises. 3

If that happens, Chelsea will have signed two exceptional centre backs there We just can’t compete with this level of transfer

Not too shabby imo

This could be one of the dominos that need to fall paving the way for Levi colwin to go to Brighton. It's all coming together. 3

And I think the gap is getting bigger at the moment. DeLigt and Kounde are two of the best young CB’s in the world. To get one of these is a coup, but to get both… would be ridiculous. Im convinced a super league will end up happening

Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 4 July 2022 Posted 4 July 2022 £20m for a player with one years championship experience and Chelsea reserves… the worlds gone mad.

You do, they'd cost north of £30m now from the Championship even after one good season. Guehi was another Chelsea academy defender who Palace paid £25m I think for after a year on loan at Swansea? He's been excellent value so far, got the world at his feet. Colwill supposedly just as highly rated. 4

Ric Flair Posted 4 July 2022 Posted 4 July 2022 12 minutes ago, Will1981 said: Guehi cost £18m Conflicting reports, other sites have it at £21m with add ons. Either way Colwill for around £20m isn't a significant increase a year later for a similar calibre of player.

GingerrrFox Posted 4 July 2022 Posted 4 July 2022 42 minutes ago, Will1981 said: Guehi cost £18m Colwill is younger, taller and left footed. Being left footed is a big thing, it helps so much with building the play by having a left footer on the left hand side. That bumps up the cost. Take Tyrone Mings, if he was 2 inches shorter and right footed he wouldn’t have been looked at for an England call up.
