Will be as a replacement for Matic I'm guessing. They've just sent Loftus-Cheek out on loan too. That's Chelsea in a nutshell though - paying over the odds for a player to sit on the bench rather than trying to bring though a youth product.

Haven't seen much of Loftus-Cheek but don't really rate him from the little I have seen, Ake and Chalobah are the ones that annoy me, both could easily do as good a job as Rudiger and Drinkwater(assuming it happens) Do need more English players though and there isn't many god ones available at a decent price. Hoping for Oxlade-Chamberlain and wouldn't be disappointed with Drinkwater just think it's unnecessary. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb72 105 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Iheanacho to Leicester for £25 million. 20 years old and great talent, Man City will regret this in the future in my opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz52 11,837 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 £25m still seems like a shit load of money but compared to other transfers so far then it isn't the worst deal ever for Leicester, the boy can put the ball away ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Specky Forum Organiser 64,425 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Iheanacho is absolute quality, would easily get 20+ at City if they kept him and played him, couldn't believe they signed Jesus when that had him Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buying a player for a record fee only for him to get injured for the whole season before kicking a ball must be absolutely sickening. Sure the same thing happened to Bournemouth with Mings.

Goianegra 4,680 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Might not be so bad for a PL club. They can just rummage about the back of the sofa, find a spare 30Mil lying about and buy another one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
