Don't want to spread false rumours but apparently Chilwell has packed his bags at Leicester and is having a medical next couple of days.
I didn't believe it at first but apparently Leicester fans say he's very reliable for news so take it with a pinch of salt.
He wouldn't be my choice but I'll back him in blue whatever. Just hope the price isn't anything over 40 million if true.
14 Aug 2020 18:54:18
Twitter talk saying it's a record fee for a fullback too. I'm definitely not believing anything until i see matt law confirm it. However if it's true i'd be gutted, i don't mind Chilwell at all but spending over 50m for him? Really hoping it's either completely false or it's nowhere near as much as people are saying.
14 Aug 2020 18:54:52
Don’t care what the price is, that’s up to the two clubs but I will be very happy to welcome him to THE MIGHTY BLUES.
14 Aug 2020 18:56:49
The same source says his deal if there’ll be any will be a world record deal for a left back.
14 Aug 2020 18:57:46
I’d be over the moon for Chilwell at £40m but Leicester don’t want to sell and we has said on other pages the price is high, maguire went for ridiculous amount, stones, mendy etc. I think we’ve been scared off by the price and unless he requests to leave I can’t see it, a reported £160m for Declan rice and Chilwell, that’s obscene that is.
14 Aug 2020 18:58:38
Who cares about the figure?
14 Aug 2020 19:07:22
Agree London blue I want Chilwell only because he’s franks target and he’s done great so far with Ziyech and Werner. The fee I think will be around 55m which is awful just because he’s an English player. I would of payed it for Rice as he’s exactly what we need infront of the back four. A leader and quality as a DM.
14 Aug 2020 19:28:22
Also it would tie in with Emerson leaving for Inter. If that’s the case, it would be £40m that Chelsea pay for Chilwell (getting £22m for Emerson) . Big upgrade IMO. Finally great to see the board backing a manager in the market. LOVE IT!
14 Aug 2020 19:49:21
What's the source for this rumour? It would be dope to have Chilwell. I'm sure we won't be held to ransom. But surely it would be near 50£M for him.
Hopefully Rice is next.

Adam I hope that’s true as I’m hoping we can sell Alonso too. Maatsen should back up Alonso and Azpi can vary aswell between RB and LB. I believe Maatsen is good enough to do a job when called upon.
14 Aug 2020 20:05:07
I think Alonso will stay unless a very good deal comes in for him. Maatsen will be a good option to have too, but can’t see him being the number 2 back up this season. Yet.
14 Aug 2020 20:18:02
I think Maatsen will be going out on loan.
14 Aug 2020 20:32:49
Adam i agree it's great we're backing our manager and getting our 1st choice targets and if we can generate some money back from Emerson and Alonso then i definitely don't mind the price. I just don't expect many sales this window so i'd hope we can use whatever money we have wisely. But i do like Chilwell and think he'd be a success here.
{Ed002's Note - Chilwell was not the first choice target. I have explained that since day one - but of course I know nothing.}
14 Aug 2020 20:52:24
Oh apologies Ed. I must have missed you saying so, i wouldn't have said otherwise had i known it.
14 Aug 2020 20:59:40
Anyone who doubts Ed002's insight is an absolute knob. Ed has been giving us spot on information for over a decade. It must be that long as I can remember the whole Robinho episode on here and that was 12 years ago.
14 Aug 2020 21:22:02
Can anyone find ed002 long post from a while back? I tried looking but can’t find anything. I’m not sure if it was incomings or outgoings. Thanks.
14 Aug 2020 21:47:01
Ed, I understand if you don't want to answer this, but I probably missed it back when you said it. But who was the first choice left back target the club preferred?
{Ed002's Note - Probably already signed.}
14 Aug 2020 22:21:27
Does anyone remember who Ed002 said was first choice?
14 Aug 2020 22:38:08
I can’t remember neither. That’s why I asked about the old
Post. But that’s only on outgoings. Can’t find anything about potential incomings anywhere?

I remember a lot of interest in Ferland Mendy at one point.
15 Aug 2020 00:54:09
Could it be Maatsen? Both Ed001 and Ed002 have mentioned he is highly thought of.
15 Aug 2020 05:39:32
I read these posts everyday and from memory Telles was our first choice left back.
15 Aug 2020 16:38:59
It was Telles but there was list that includes tagliofico chilwell and Regulion.
16 Aug 2020 04:29:01
If chilwell is the guy we chasing. I am skeptical.
Too expensive and error prone.
I'd rather wait if we cannot get the right man.
Focus more on Declan Rice rather than Ben Chilwell.
I hope and pray that we are bringing in a strong good CB and GK
Ed002 can you please confirm that we still looking to get in a CB and a GK.
{Ed002's Note - I am not the one to ask about this.}
