Leicester star Ben Chilwell wanted in shock £71m transfer by Atletico Madrid

[Syme]

ATLETICO MADRID want to sign Leicester defender Ben Chilwell but will face competition from Premier League side Manchester City, according to reports.
The Spanish side have reportedly bid a massive £71million for the player who has been impeccable for both club and country this season.

Could see a bid coming in for the wee poet Tierney from Brendan if this happens!

Thoughts?

71mil for Ben Chilwell is ridiculous.

And I appreciate he's a good young player.

 

[Talktalk]

That will make Golden nuts worth worth £142m .

 

[Sandbear]

I expect they are plucking a number out the air or their arse’s.

 

[AdiCR2]

Chilwell is the best full back in the Premier League in my opinion, ahead of Robertson.

He will end up at City or Utd rather than chance his luck in Spain.

Robertson is the best LB in Europe, and by a considerable distance.

 

[Craigie]

Given the constant injuries that Tierney struggles with and the rumours of long term issues it would be telling whether Rodgers looked at him to replace Chilwell if he did leave Leicester.

 

[Amato Turn]

Robertson is the best LB in Europe, and by a considerable distance.

Marcelo?
Jordi Alba?
David Alaba?

Countless others who've actually won something?

 

[sregnar]

Doubt it tbh. Sounds bullshit.

 

[Superrangers]

71mil for Ben Chilwell is ridiculous.

Yes, far too much.

 

[KopGer]

Marcelo?
Jordi Alba?
David Alaba?

Countless others who've actually won something?

You win and lose as a team. Robertson’s form over 2 years is better than all of those three.

He’s a squinty eyed mentally challenged, but Real, Barca & Bayern would all take Robertson over their current incumbents.

All of Barca’s problems at Anfield came via Alba.

 

[AdiCR2]

Robertson is the best LB in Europe, and by a considerable distance.

I don't wanna turn this thread into Robertson debate as its about Chilwell but Andy Robertson isn't the best LB in England by a considerable distance never mind the whole of Europe.

 

[Coplandbear]

Wouldn't be surprised if he goes to Man City they need a left back as Mendy is struggling constantly with injuries.

 

[Superrangers]

Marcelo?
Jordi Alba?
David Alaba?

Countless others who've actually won something?

Right now, Robertson is better than all of them. Yes they have had great careers and won big prizes but right here, right now Robertson is performing at a higher level than those mentioned.

 

[KopGer]

I don't wanna turn this thread into Robertson debate as its about Chilwell but Andy Robertson isn't the best LB in England by a considerable distance never mind the whole of Europe.

His stats say otherwise.

Who’s better than him in England?

 

[Sutton_Blows_goats]

Didnt they sell their own left back to Bayern for 90 million? Still up 19 mill haha

 

[TPB90]

Robertson is the best LB in Europe, and by a considerable distance.

Can't agree with this.

 

[TPB90]

His stats say otherwise.

What stats are they? Tav must be in with a shout of best right back in the world if we're going by stats.

 

[Troy McClure]

Wouldn't be surprised if he goes to Man City they need a left back as Mendy is struggling constantly with injuries.

They also need all the english players they can get their hands on for registration rules - any english player worth their salt will be gobbled up.

 

[Teddy bear]

Robertson is the best LB in Europe, and by a considerable distance.

Says the unbiased liverpool fan haha

 

[Superrangers]

What stats are they? Tav must be in with a shout of best right back in the world if we're going by stats.

Robertson is playing against some of the hardest opponents in Europe, not Dundee and Hamilton. He had 11 league assists this season, only 4 less than Eden Hazard and was a more or less ever present in possibly the strongest defence in world football at the moment.

I love Tav and hope we can keep a hold of him but he isn’t playing against a comparable level of opponent.

 

[Div1872]

No way AM are paying that kind of money

Also very doubtful Toy Bhoy Tierney will pass a proper medical

He’s rumoured to have real dodgy chronic hip problems

 

[Rodney Wallace]

Marcelo?
Jordi Alba?
David Alaba?

Countless others who've actually won something?

Going by that reckoning Fabian Delph is the best left back in England, or Zinchenko.

Neither are though are they?

 

[Bigcol]

Football is well and truly gubbed.

 

[Dooodooodrooo]

Ffs.

 

[devilman]

That is just stupid. A decent player but no more than that.

 

[Bumplittledipper]

71mil for Ben Chilwell is ridiculous.

And I appreciate he's a good young player.

Never worth more than £67 million

 

[Henry Hill]

So Tierney to Leicester then

 

[stortbear]

Good player but crazy money, particularly when you consider that Liverpool only paid about £10 million for Robertson.

 

[Bornabear]

That will make Golden nuts worth worth £142m .

On the man u reddit forum they were saying he would be a good buy for them but they don't want to spend too much of their budget on a backup to Shaw. Worried me slightly.

 

[TN8]

Where do they get the 1 from?

We'll give you £70m.

Naw. £71m or get tae f*ck.

 

[KingsparK Ranger]

Football Transfers are absolutely destroying football normal clubs cant compete anymore with the now super rich play clubs , they should all just piss off and join a globe trotting super league.

 

[ArfieldGer]

If this happens the Tims can demand whatever they please for Tierney.

 

[BlueSeaOfIbrox]

Where do they get the 1 from?

We'll give you £70m.

Naw. £71m or get tae f*ck.

It's €80 million just converted to GBP

 

[Gerrard55]

Shows how much interest ive lost in the tourist league when i cant remember seeing this guy play....

 

[Graeme's dad]

So, we are not going to bring him in as a replacement for Barisic then!

 

[Amato Turn]

Going by that reckoning Fabian Delph is the best left back in England, or Zinchenko.

Neither are though are they?

Zinchenko's a young boy and Delph isn't even a left back.

Alba, Alaba and Marcelo are world class LB's who've played at an elite level for years and have the Champions League and domestic winners medals to show for it.

So naw mate they're not in the least comparable.

I don't think the OP suggested Robertson is the best left back in European football history.

He said currently.

Going by your own argument you are still suggesting zinchenko is better than Robertson as he has the domestic medals to show for it.

Derek Mcinnes has more domestic medals than Matt le tissier.

Who was the better player?

 

[Sebo1872]

I don't wanna turn this thread into Robertson debate as its about Chilwell but Andy Robertson isn't the best LB in England by a considerable distance never mind the whole of Europe.

Except that he is.

I don't even know how this is up for debate.

 

[Thesuperger]

That will make Golden nuts worth worth £142m .

Who's is golden nuts?

 

[Dick Donner]

The reason this has been posted is because folk think it's automatic rodgers goes for tierney in a big money swoop.

James Justin is the left back they have been linked with and Luton Town is his current club. Palace, Villa et all linked too.

Think keirans stock has fallen below an English League 2 player which is too bad for some.

 

[RFC4ME]

Chillwell is excellent a very classy operator.

Rodgers made a smart move going to Leicester, they have a really decent football structure, had loads of very decent players washing through them in recent years - still have plenty talent now.

 

[AzorIbrox]

Good player but again prices are absolutely obscene. Same with Palace looking for like £70m for that Wan Bissaka.

These guys are worth £20m tops. The game is f00ked.

 

[Hammerinho]

I'm not a Liverpool fan and I hate mentally challenged rats and even I can admit that Robertson is the best left back on the planet.

 

[Chimo]

So Tierney to Leicester then

He can't walk just now, so that seems unlikely.

We can sell Brenda a Croatia left back for £25 million to help him out though.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

If this happens the Tims can demand whatever they please for Tierney.

They can demand all they want, they won't get it though.

Tierney is an over rated crock. No one will touch him until they know if his latest operation is a success - which one hope it's not, and he's ruined.

 

[Talktalk]

Who's is golden nuts?

The prodigal child mate who we are lucky enough to watch every time he graces the park and allows us to be in his presence. KT is the Second coming of you believe the poets who write about him
