coolhandfox Posted 28 July 2022 Share Posted 28 July 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, Ric Flair said: I've seen him several times, was already aware of how highly he was rated in Chelsea's academy but it was his performances at Championship level where its proven he's well on his way to the sort of progression that will see him step up seamlessly. I want Colwill regardless of Fofana being linked to them, if Fofana were to go I'd want another exceptional young defender, this isn't me saying Colwill slots in instead of Fofana and off we go. We don't need proven Premier League players, it's the biggest waste of money and red herring in top level football. 100% Buying proven PL players only applies to the top clubs who can afford the best PL players, for instance, Chelsea buying Sterling is a safe bet. For a club like us, there is no value unless it is low risk, like the transfers of Evans or Huth. Edited 28 July 2022 by coolhandfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HankMarvin Posted 28 July 2022 Share Posted 28 July 2022 After his horrific injury can’t see Chelsea buying him with out seeing if it effects him for more than just 7 games. that being said he did say Chelsea were one of his dream clubs back in November. “A club that makes me dream? There’s Marseille, Real Madrid, Barca," Fofana told Actufoot. "In the Premier League, there are Chelsea, [Manchester] United, [Manchester] City… But you have to work to make your dreams come true. Through work, you can achieve anything." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve pretty much done football now, so might as well sell em all - apparently we can’t easily - and then fold the club and have our memories.

sylofox Posted 28 July 2022 Share Posted 28 July 2022 42 minutes ago, Col city fan said: I didn’t say that Ric wanted Colwill as a Fofana replacement. I was asking Ric what he knew about Colwill and why he feels so assured he’d be a good signing. And he replied. The point I was making is that some posters have expressed a desire for a certain amount of money (eg 100 mill PLUS Colwill). And I was saying this is risky because (money aside) we’d then be replacing a proven Premiership CB who is one of the best young centre backs in the world with a young lad who’s had a single season at Huddersfield. Money aside, that’s risky imo. Fundamentally, I don’t agree with the assertion that ‘proven Premiership ability’ isn’t important. I think it is. It’s very rare that clubs discover ‘hidden gems’ such as Fofana. Generally, clubs recruit players who they pretty much know (or believe) can cut it at the senior level. If we’re were to get 100 mill plus Colwill for Fofana, I’d have no qualms with having Colwill at the club. But what I WOULD do is to spend a decent chunk of that money on buying a proven, experienced, quality CB to come straight into the first team, whilst Colwill was still developing and pushing for a first team spot. I wouldn’t just chuck Colwill straight in against the likes of Man City, Liverpool et al and expect him to shine. With Fofana that has worked. But it’s not the usual way. Again, which is why most clubs don’t usually do that. Agreed but I dont see us getting Colwill now. We wont sell them Fofana so they wont help us.

Fofana is already rated as one of the best young CB’s in world football. Colwill has had one good season at Huddersfield. I wouldn’t sell Fofana in this transfer window to replace him with pretty much an unknown. Seems risky to me that. Have you actually seen him play?

CrispinLA in Texas Posted 28 July 2022 Share Posted 28 July 2022 Chelsea aren't going to be the same Chelsea as before, they can't seem to to get any top players now from Europe. Think they going to become a mid level team, like Liverpool in the 90's and ManU after Ferguson left. They're got issues with average players on bloated salaries and piles of deadwood they can't get rid because no one wants to pay them the same wage. They've lost 4 nil to Arsenal in pre-season which they wouldn't have done in the past, can't see many elite players wanting to go to a club on the slide....the good times are over for them.
