Chelsea want to keep Colwill, but the England under-21 centre-back is stalling on signing a new deal at Stamford Bridge. Tier 4.

Him not being an every match starter at Brighton isn’t relevant. What matters is his future potential which again like Gvardiol is immense. And tbh, comparedGvardiol, Colwill has the better physical tools due to his height and size. I remember reading some stats that showed Gvardiol being one of the worst CB’s in Europe when it came to winning his aerial duels.

Plus option for another year if he plays a certain amount of PL games, thought to be around 15 matches. So essentially his deal is till 2026 if he's being integrated as a permanent first team member.

That alone must reassure Colwill that he will have playing time this season because it also makes sense for the club from a financial and contract point of view to integrate him. I dont know of what he is so afraid of. He played 17 games last season for Brighton, so playing 15 games for Chelsea would be big step up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's more than promising, he's as guaranteed a bet as Reece James was in 2019. The only way he should be sold is if he starts behaving in ways that keeping him becomes impossible.

He might be HG, but I can see a similar situation to Thibo's transpiring should he remain this summer. Edited July 12, 2023 by LAM09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hashishi 148 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 What do you guys think about moving James to DMF? I think he has the tools for it and because of his body, he is always going to be susceptible to injury running up and down the flank. He played there a bit while at Wigan. It would mean we only need to sign Caicedo and another starting RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We dont need a big squad having 1 game per week so maybe he can be used in both positions depending on the squad situation. manpe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hashishi 148 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 # Player Age Nat. Club Market value 1 Reece James Right-Back 23 €65.00m 2 Achraf Hakimi Right-Back 24 €65.00m 3 Trent Alexander-Arnold Right-Back 24 €65.00m 4 Ben White Right-Back 25 €55.00m 5 João Cancelo Right-Back 29 €50.00m 6 Pedro Porro Right-Back 23 €40.00m 7 Jeremie Frimpong Right-Back 22 €40.00m 8 Diogo Dalot Right-Back 24 €40.00m 9 Benjamin Pavard Right-Back 27 €40.00m 10 Nahuel Molina Right-Back 25 €35.00m 11 Noussair Mazraoui Right-Back 25 €28.00m 12 Malo Gusto Right-Back 20 €25.00m 13 Aaron Hickey Right-Back 21 €25.00m 14 Tino Livramento Right-Back 20 €25.00m 15 Juan Foyth Right-Back 25 €25.00m 16 Aaron Wan-Bissaka Right-Back 25 €25.00m 17 Matty Cash Right-Back 25 €25.00m 18 Lutsharel Geertruida Right-Back 22 €25.00m 19 Kyle Walker-Peters Right-Back 26 €25.00m 20 Takehiro Tomiyasu Right-Back 24 €25.00m 21st most valuable is castagne who must be leaving Leicester at some point this summer and at 27 he has a few years left in him before his legs go. If maddison went for 50m, surely 25m would be enough to turn their heads. Other options could be: Molina as we were linked to him in January Pavard as he is linked with a move every window Tino if we still have a buyback Geertruida who I've heard good things about but not sure how the step up would suit him. I'm also wary of signing someone young to compete with Malo Gusto as it could make him feel like his path is blocked like colwill probably feels now with Badman being a starter for most of the last year.

Hashishi 148 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 # Player Age Nat. Club Market value 1 Declan Rice Defensive Midfield 24 €90.00m 2 Rodri Defensive Midfield 27 €90.00m 3 Aurélien Tchouaméni Defensive Midfield 23 €85.00m 4 Enzo Fernández Defensive Midfield 22 €80.00m 5 Moisés Caicedo Defensive Midfield 21 €75.00m 6 Joshua Kimmich Defensive Midfield 28 €75.00m 7 Bruno Guimarães Defensive Midfield 25 €70.00m 8 Manuel Ugarte Defensive Midfield 22 €50.00m 9 Sandro Tonali Defensive Midfield 23 €50.00m 10 Amadou Onana Defensive Midfield 21 €45.00m 11 Fabinho Defensive Midfield 29 €42.00m 12 Martín Zubimendi Defensive Midfield 24 €40.00m 13 Ismaël Bennacer Defensive Midfield 25 €40.00m 14 João Palhinha Defensive Midfield 28 €40.00m 15 Rúben Neves Defensive Midfield 26 €40.00m 16 Stanislav Lobotka Defensive Midfield 28 €40.00m 17 Casemiro Defensive Midfield 31 €40.00m 18 Cheick Doucouré Defensive Midfield 23 €35.00m 19 Edson Álvarez Defensive Midfield 25 €35.00m 20 Ibrahim Sangaré Defensive Midfield 25 €35.00m In comparison, not only would another DMF be more expensive, most re not remotely availible. Rice, ugarte, Neves and Tonali have all moved on this summer. Zubimendi is waiting for barca. Unless Tchou magically becomes availible this summer, and I don't even think he would move to us with no CL. The only ones I like the look of are Onana and Palhinha. However, both play for relegation level teams and might struggle to make the step up. Lavia is a bit further down. I think someone like Lavia or Onana is best because our MF is short AF and all it would take is long balls into the DM area and then a long shot past kepa to beat us....

Yes, I am in favour of this, honestly a midfield of Reece as a DM, Enzo as a left 8 and Caicedo as a right 8 could be phenomenal and able to hold their own at any level of football. With regards to squad size, I think we are moving in the direction of Pep with a smaller squad and lots of players that can play multiple positions. Pep won the treble like this and dominated English football for quite a while now. It has obvious risks but clearly can be insane when it works. I also think this is why the club is not going crazy to sign lots of CMs, thinking we have options who can play there (Santos, Hall, Colwill, Reece all very sensible options imo), but just targeting players they think are potentially elite and important for the long term, who will almost definitely be useful somewhere (Caicedo for example can play 3 positions - AT LEAST - competently) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
