Zinchenko was supposed to go to wolves for about 13-15 million last year right ? How about Leicester ? If Chilwell goes to Chelsea He is very much a pep / Rodgers player in that he can play anywhere keeps the ball can pass just lacks a bit of pace and width could end up cheap for them if they sell Chilwell for the rumoured fee and we could end up getting a lot of money for him for us given the current market situation and the fact he is a squad player. Whats Grimaldo like these days he was meant to be the next best thing a few years ago have we not been linked with him on and off ?

Grimaldo shockingly bad this season it looks like he has lost his pace? and it has wrecked his confidence

Might just be paper talk, but Rodgers is interested in bringing Tierney in from Arsenal if Chillwell leaves.
 
Had poor season and doesn’t seem a pep player more of a defensive fullback and with Leicester they usually don’t budge from there valuation. So it’s a no from me.

We should make the Sane deal conditional on getting Alphoso Davies

You mean 19 year old who's just signed a deal until 2025 and is their guaranteed starter? Yeah mate do that and Sane goes for free and most likely starts talking to the press to get out. Just get the lad sold for what we can
 
Chilwell is decent but not world class. He's a more attacking minded version of Zinchenko but still too slow and not athletic enough. Unless this is what Pep wants. Chilwell is better in the final 3rd than Zinchenko though.

But if Stones goes to Newcastle, we need English players. We can rip off Newcastle and get 50 mil easy for Stones. We would still massively overpay but it would feel like 30mil signing coz of Stones' departure and not 80.
 
Thought he was 27 but turns out he's only 23. At the leicester game I thought Mahrez ripped the piss out of him. Home grown makes a difference.

Chelsea seem very keen so likely a bidding war.

Why do we have to have world class players in every position ?
 
If you're prepared to spend 85 mil on a player, I believe he should be close to being world class. Chilwell is decent but at the same time yet another overhyped English player. Dele Alli's market value is around 100mil and he's bang average but he's got 100mil price tag coz he's English.

I don't see how Angelino is much worse than Chilwell. Mahrez teared Chilwell to shreds when we played Leicester at home and won 3-1. 85 mil for slight upgrade on Zinchenko.
 
85m is Leicesters valuation, its not like theres no negotiation. I really like Chilwell and its obvious Pep does too - after all we wanted him last year. Sam Lee has said there was a deal basically struck but City pulled out due to no interest in Mendy. I think hes pretty bloody good but theres room for development and improvement. Depends what City are looking for to be fair
 
Leicester proved last summer that its either their price or fuck off. They wanted £85m for Maguire originally and sold him for £80m.

Our execs arent that stupid thankfully.

Agreed.

Chilwell isn't an upgrade on Mendy or Zinchenko and would cost the fucking earth.

If spending, we need to do so on a world class CB to replace Kompany, not a LB we don't actually need.

Sam Lee knows less than the square root of fuck all and should never be cited as a source on here mate.

I wouldn't believe him if he told me his name was Sam Lee.
