Speculation Motown's annoying, but traditional, totally unfounded Winter 15/16 rumours thread

Takes one...

Takes one...

That's one of the advantages of the process.

But worried that a few sources tonight suggesting Arsenal have matched our asking price of around £5m for Chilwell.

Not only would I not want to lose a great prospect, it seems like a low price compared to what other young English players go for, and I think sends the wrong message when we're challenging up there right now with them

 

[Motown Fox]

Benalouane could be on his way as well.

This CANNOT and MUST NOT be true. Unless the lad wants to leave - and I very much doubt that - then there is absolutely no need.

Would losing Chilwell be that big of a loss?

 

[Brown Nose]

Would losing Chilwell be that big of a loss?

Yes. We don't know if he's going to be a top player or an also ran yet (remember Joe Mattock?).

However, we must show that we are not a club like Southampton, that can be pushed around by one of the big clubs. In principle, whatever the offer, we should tell them to feck off unless they fancy a swap for Ozil,

I'd be concerned about this. Benalouane is the best backup we have.

Ranieri rates Wasilewski higher i think (as do I!) and Amartey has been signed as a CB/RB/DM utility player i believe so i wouldnt be surprised if Benalouane is allowed to leave. Particularly if we get a good fee.

Not sure about Eder. Looked powderpuff and relatively slow when ive seen him. a good finisher undoubtedly, but 50/50 that he would hit the ground running in my opinion. which January signings have to do.

Id try and get Andre Gray. More in the Deeney mould and similar story to Vardy. Would be on lower wages as well....

£5m is sod all anyway. Not worth entertaining. Chilwell looks a damn good player - first team material.

 

[londonfox]

Chilwell is not (yet) first team material ahead of Fuchs.

 

[Lako42]

Chilwell is not (yet) first team material ahead of Fuchs.

So we should sell him?

 

[camberwell fox]

We need our head testing if we sell him.

 

[Jimmy Lad]

We need our head testing if we sell him.

Quite possibly out of our hands if he won't sign a new contract.

 

[Miles Away]

Quite possibly out of our hands if he won't sign a new contract.

This is the real concern. If he won't sign a new contract when he is making 800 quid a week, he's probably not going to.

 

[Lako42]

Let's not make things up

 

[Miles Away]

Let's not make things up

Their are only a couple of reasons we'd sell:

1. We don't rate him
2. We are worried about losing him for nothing
3. Your weird letters/pictures to him have forced the club to act for his own protection

 

[Lako42]

There is nothing to say we are selling though.
