Sergi Reguilon

I know. The old arrogant approach about the English league, which coincidently is the only league in the top 5 to not have a team in a European final.

Nothing to do with arrogance at all. If our league is so sh*t why do all these players want to come here to test themselves. With regards to Reguillon, despite how good he is at crossing the ball can he actually defend

Garbage, how about the last 10 years where English teams have regularly got to finals and win the European trophies, are we just ignoring that?

For example last season when all four teams in the two finals were English.

Reguilon is better than Chilwell in my book in all aspects apart from strength, which in England is very important. I hope we're making the right choice and we're not being fleeced by Leicester again. Time will tell.

What a player, its a travesty that we're going for Midwell over this guy for triple the price

Lampard's choice...

Sergio is a better player IMO and Real Madrid's offer is a bargain but there must be something that was scouted which makes Chilwell the transfer target. Maybe it's also the rest of the squad, Sevilla has players that can make up for the forward runs of Reguilon, we don't. So maybe Chilwell fits more for the balance of Lampard's tactic and complements the other players better... Just a theory.

Hence why I’m talking about current events but keep piping up history if you like. It’s arrogance.

To test themselves. ?

Yes, because the enormous wages have zero impact on their decision making. Good grief. 

 
I think there’s more to the bargain transfer than meets the eye. If he does go for that I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if there’s a 50 mil buy back clause in it or something similar. So Madrid can buy him back when Marcelo leaves if he carries on with this trajectory but swerve it if he flops. Imagine if he succeeded then Madrid buys him back and we end up having to spend more money on chilwell and have to integrate another player into the system? It’s purely a guess but it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if this is the case, when the rumoured clubs are Everton, Leicester, Seville and an Italian club (not sure which one) and not the bigger clubs, teams aiming for later stages of the champions league, there must be a reason why, because he certainly looks to have the talent.

 
Exactly. Regulion has played for Sevilla this season. A team who have won the Europa league 6 times i the past 15 years. Yet he needs to move to England to ‘test himself’? Utter arrogance. 
 

 
Why would real madrid sell this guy for 25 mil with no buy back clause if he is that good? Makes no sense to me
He does look good though

Madrid sent a 19 year old Hakimi to Dortmund on loan for 2 seasons. He went on to start over 70 games for Dortmund. They then sell him to Inter for $44M US.

It's possible.

Hakimi another excellent player. We have Chilwell but I’d have been happy with Reguilon reckon he’s got the look of a complete left back, both defence and attack.

Troll alert.  Also I have no idea what sort of point you're making here. Reguillon is a RM player on loan at Sevilla. 15 years ago he was 8, so what Sevilla's European record has to do with whether Reguilon will settle into our league I am struggling to see

Fair point. But look troll or non troll Reguilon would not be moving to England to test himself. He plays for Real Madrid and has now won a European trophy.

He would be moving because he is not going to get a start at Madrid with Mendy there and is good enough to play at a high level. 

Personally neither he nor Chilwell are the next Ashley Cole. This argument is a bit like arguing which beer is best between Fosters and Stella when both aren't world beaters.

Agreed. The thing is my point about testing themselves was taken out of context by someone trying to imply that we are arrogant English saying our league is the best. This isn't true at all, it's the commentators, pundits and worldwide media that say this is the fastest and most physical league in the world, often to justify the fact that the latest import flop like Morata isn't actually sh!t they just struggle to adapt.

I don't doubt Reguillon's technical ability but whether he would be able to adjust to the pace, strength and intensity in this league is still unknown. 

I remember when Emerson came in everyone was saying that he was comparable and actually doing better than Sandro until his injury. We were actually getting a Sandro on the cheap. Yeah, right.
