He isnt worth half of that fee. Thats ridiculous
Roman's not messing around. Lampard being fully backed after their transfer ban.
£80 million?! You could buy a Pepe for that sort of cash.
They are getting their business done early. Absolutely no way he's worth that much money though. Ridiculous amount to spend on him. Good player but he did tail off a bit with the rest of the team and got dropped at one point
Shouldn't be surprising that Leicester want that much for him. I think Chelsea will go for Tagliafico instead.
thats a lot - almost 2 man city full backs!
Makes sense, they've had a threadbare roster thanks to the transfer ban.
Huge amount of money for Chilwell that
If they spend 85m on Chilwell I think it's safe to say spending won't be altered by coronavirus as some have suggested
Noone's paying that amount for him.
Roman taking advantage of the FFP relaxations?
There's no way anyone is buying Chilwell for £80m, especially in this economic climate. On the other hand, Tagliafico is available for £22m. No brainer.
80 million?? 
They dropped a similar amount on Kepa remember..80 million??
And Covid. Good time to buy if you have the cash. Shouldn't pay £80m for Chilwell in this climate though.
I think it would be Leicester taking advantage if this goes through
Chelsea didn't spend a bean last year due to the transfer ban so they're in a strong position to spend this summer.
Not sure they'll take him at that price though.

Luckily we don't have a rat in the equation forcing a move 3 days before the window closes this time.
Nah, just spending the Hazard & Morata dosh.
£85 mil for this dude is bonkers though.
He isn't that good, wasn't impressed with his performance against big teams.
There's a rat in mi kitchen what am I gonna do
It's surely to much and makes wan-bissaka look like a bargain.
Don't think it's true though.
This just adds to the shitness of this season. It really dies feel like we are nearing the end of pre season with all of the transfer gossip
I do think Wan-Bissaka will end up being seen as a bargain. I'm a big fan.
What kind of crazy club would pay Leicester £80 odd mil for a England defender though?
Crazy sum, but if we payed 80 million for Maguire then I guess it make sense. Brittish talent is very overhyped.
Chilwell is a good attacker but a poor defender.
At least with AWB you get a world class defender but a poor attacker.
If I were Chelsea, I wouldn't be blowing a significant part of my budget on a player who has weaknesses I couldn't build around.

I’ve seen other talk on the Twitter about a fee of around £65m - which I’d imagine is more likely.
That's a mental fee. Then again, so was the Maguire fee, and I think most United fans are very glad we have him now.
Who have you ever seen hype him?
Lots of hype in the media when they had a great run this season.
He is a very good fullback so I understand some of the hype.
Different world now though - nobody is going to spend that sort of money in the current climate.
Most definitely. People forget how young AWB is I think. He's quality.
Yeah we overpaid on Maguire but given how the CB market was looking, and how Liverpool forced the price up with VVD, we had little choice. The same happened to you with Kepa in fairness.
Also I think Maguire has been really good for us. Brought alot of stability to the back 4 as highlighted by our defensive improvement.
They havent spent anything for a year.. they havent even spent the Hazard money yet.. they have money.. and the transfer budget for 2 years.
He’s a friend of a friend. Not asked about this or not. Was hoping he’d come to united to hear some of the gossip.
Kepa was a release clause, Bilbao didnt want to sell
It a a good guy or a twat?
Put in a good word for me fella. Nice one.
He'd be a good signing for them, but like Maguire, overpriced. I have the feeling they won't be that desperate for him and go for a cheaper left back instead.
Actually watch him; he’s not particularly great. Even Leicester fans give him stick. He’s one of those players that fairweather fans and media quickly build a positive narrative around and it remains the case long after performance levels drop. I mean, he’s better than what Chelsea currently have, but I don’t think that’s a glowing comparison.
