You're making that sound worse than it was ... he did play the full 90 minutes, and was only subbed off in time added on.

I imagine he'll stay at Burnley on loan next season, so that will be good chance for some PL experience. When he does come back to us, perhaps he can bring Kompany with him LOL

Probably an upgrade on Koulibaly still.

Will have one year left on his contract in the summer, and won’t be surprised if like Guehi he demands a move away.

You could well be right if this is the scenario. His route to the first team is essentially blocked by Chilly and Cucurella as it stands ... plus any profit from his sale is 100% booked against FFP. I can see that being a huge factor in deciding who is moved on,  given the likely £70m+ hole in the accounts from not being in Europe.

Haven't we already persuade the likes of Broja, Chalobah, and now Colwill in extending? Seems we do have a path for them if they have the quality. 

I can see us extending Maatsen's contract and leaving him at Burnley for another season.

The flip side is that the contract extension will enable a bigger transfer fee ... 🙂

That too. 

I don't think a decision on him will be made just yet however. Not until we see how he does in the Prem. 

Think it will come down to how big an offer City make for Chilwell, same as Kova.

Has Colwill extended?

My god he's good, so so good

Brilliant today 

we can not sell him to city 

 

Probably my worst predication of all (I didn't think he'd even be an upgrade on Alonso).

we miss him a lot last season and even this season

fingers crossed to stay fit chilwell! 

A difference maker again today.

Feel that about CC for sure..

One of the players rumoured to be told by Todd to sign up to a new, long term deal or be sold.

The bloke just doesn't look good enough defensively for me. LB is a position we are really struggling with this season, adding Chilwell would just seem like we are adding to the problem rather than solving it.

Shut up Scott 😆

In all honesty I felt the same. Although I did have some hope as unlike with say Lukaku i wasn't doubting him due to talent.

My main concerns were his lack of aggression in attacking situations and his tendency to spectacularly lose his head when his form dipped, both seem well and truly fixed.

One of the rare occasions you called it wrong Argo? Or still unsure on him?

I didn't like him at Leicester. He was great at times going forward, but was so physically weak defensively and lazy at times. I also thought he believed in his own hype towards the end of his final season with them and let his performances slide. When he came to us, and especially under Tuchel, I thought both parts of his game improved massively and now we see the Chilwell we see today.

Chilwell and Silva are the only players in the entire squad that perform at their best week in week out. The others need to raise their level to the same standards. Havertz can't be at his best for 10% of the season, it's not good enough. Mount at 50%, it's not enough. Even James at 70%. They all need to be hitting their best levels for 90% of the season, that is what it will take if they want to be amongst the best season after the season.

 I think with everything that’s going on at the moment combined with manager has affected Mount, because he’s given us his best until takeover happened. I’m still disappointed though, I really thought he would perform regardless of what’s happening.

I look back to the days of Frank, Terry, Drogba; they performed no matter who’s the manager, Silva was the only one of that ilk, I think we can safely say Chilwell is too. Big question mark on James, he’s been disappointing this season but he’s had injuries

Haha, I wouldn't say I get most things right tbh, I've had some right shockers in the past this being one of them 🤣
