I think the issue is more with soulless businesses like Manchester City and Chelsea hoarding talent and hoovering up players like Barkley and Drinkwater simply to meet squad quotas. Chilwell is a really good left back for us and I don’t doubt he’s grateful for what the club has done for him so far, but an FA Cup medal or a Europa League qualifying round probably wouldn’t convince him not to take a massive contract for far more than he’s probably worth now or in two years time when he’s chucked on the scrap heap.

It would happen anyway.
Kante got himself away just after we'd just won the Premier League, FFS
The current idiot in charge certainly won't help matters, but Maguire and Chilwell will both get the hell out of here without so much as a second glance the second Man United, Man City, Liverpool, Arsenal or Chelsea come a-calling

From the Daily Telegraph.
Tottenham Hotspur are weighing up a dramatic bid to try to hijack Leicester City’s move for Monaco midfielder Youri Tielemans.
Leicester have been closing in on a deal to sign Tielemans on loan until the end of the season, but Spurs have now shown an interest.
Sources at Monaco claim Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is willing to sanction the move and is now just waiting on the green light from manager Mauricio Pochettino.
Pochettino is keen to boost his midfield options after selling Mousa Dembele and suffering injury problems, but is also wary of signing players before he has created any more space in his squad.
It now remains to be seen whether or not Pochettino will act quickly enough to stop 21-year-old Tielemans joining Leicester before the transfer window shuts on Thursday.

I've watched a lot of Dortmund's games this year and Sancho really does live up to the hype, he is a terrific player even at eighteen years of age. Playing regularly is definitely the key. Phil Foden is wasting his time at Man. City.

I have thought that for a long time. If they actually want him to play in their team as a regular starting line up player and they don’t think he is ready they should be loaning him to another premier league club.

How many players have we sold in the last few years?
All have been signed on long contracts and the club no longer sell more than one per season, unless it suits us.

What are you talking about, Matty James’ 94 seconds of football in the last 27 years was totally worth his new lifetime plus ten years contract.
