Rumour: Levi Colwill

[Lee B]

Chelsea CB and youth team product. 19 years old. Spent last season on loan at Huddersfield, playing 31 matches and getting good reviews

Romano saying that we are interested along with a lot of other Premier League clubs.

Anyone seen him play? I’ve not, but after the signing of Marc last season, I’m all for us raiding the Chelsea age group teams again.

[GreatGonzo]

Has already been discussed on most of the transfer threads. Most people want us to sign him.

[GreatGonzo]

Lets have a highlights reel though

this has been all over the BBS for a while

Would really like us to get him.

Not sure if we will though. I think the club will appeal to him but although we may play 3 at the back at times, there is also a chance he will be on the bench for us at times.

But also straight into the tean when Guehi is sold next summer

I wonder if Chelsea will insert a buy-back clause and if so, whether that'll put some clubs off?

I definitely think that it will be harder to get him without this sort of thing because of how well Guehi did for us. They inserted a buy back for Liveramento which is why we didn't go for him in the end. FWIW I think Guéhi is better.

Every kid in West London and beyond will have a Ronaldo shirt. He makes a huge amount of money wherever he goes just like Beckham fid for clubs he went to.

Most of that money goes to Nike

If Chelsea are willing to let him go.. we’ll be all over it

In a queue with others I am guessing. I watched a highlight of him earlier and don’t think I can remember him heading it. Hoping that whoever we bring in can offer a bit of aerial dominance when needed. Looks surprisingly nippy.

They'll probably also be asking why the previous owners sold an academy centre half prospect to another London team for under £20 million and who was then playing in the England first team 9 months later....

I guess it all depends on their current budget, how many players TT wants (I read 5), and how much they cost (no doubt bucket loads). I get the feeling Leicester will be in the driving seat for this one, based on a hunch only.

Only hope is we’ve done more leg work to begin with.

Yes, we are clearly excellent in that area. The whole 3 at the back reports would help as well, I would hope.

Chelsea are short on CBs themselves at the moment. Is Colwill likely to be considered for their squad?
