[Albion] Levi Colwill

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Would we be ecstatic if Colwill was to become our record signing? I’d rather it was a flair midfielder tbh.

Seeing as our record signing up until a few weeks ago was Adam Webster I’m not sure it makes much difference. I’ve certainly not lost any sleep over a central defender costing more than any other player we’ve signed and wouldn’t if that was the case again.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

He only played 17 times for us, a mixed bag of performances and now he’s the next John Terry..weird.

Who’s he shagged?

 

[BevBHA]

Doesn’t his Chelsea contract run until June 2024, and the club have an option to extend that for a further year?

Correct. But Chelsea wanting to tie him down for 5+ years now according to Fabrizio

I believe the option is triggered if Levi makes a certain number of appearances so it’s not a straight forward club option like we often have.

If he stalls on this new contract offer Chelsea and he isn’t playing regularly enough to trigger the year option Chelsea may have no option but to sell in January to avoid losing him for a tribunal set fee next summer (or for nothing if he picks an overseas club).

I didn’t know that, thanks

If Colwill is worth £40m, what the hell is Caicedo worth? Nice one TB.

Effectively £10m less than he was before we upped the bid for Levi, if we do a deal with Chelsea. Which might be the reasoning.

Time to move on, maybe have a butchers around Jan next year.

We've already got Jan (PvH), we don't need another one...

 

[dstanman]

We pay £40M for him, then after a season or 2 decides he want to move elsewhere for more money

So USG in Belgium and then season long loan to us

Well, only have a week of this to go, as can’t see us buying him unless it’s structured to help Chelsea’s FFP deadline. Looks like they may have done enough elsewhere in other sales though

This saga smacks of Ben white and Leeds

About time we stopped this nonsense

The sales to Saudi clubs don’t help with their FFP problems it would appear.

Absolutely..... please let's stop.

 

[Kosh]

He’s not brilliant anyway… sure, he’s pretty good, but by God he’s not THAT good.

Let’s move on and focus on a little something I like to call ‘reality’ …

If he ends up signing, I’ll eat my signed deep purple MK3 California Jam book… which I’d never do, hence my unshakable confidence that this ‘saga’ , and its eventual and very tragic metamorphosis into a series of swap-shop BS narratives, was nothing more than a series of very unrelated none events that culminated in absolutely nothing.

Well l'm sure, that should it come to it, anything with jam in will be very tasty indeed.

 

[Live by the sea]

I’m sure the club is looking at various other options to Levi

The difference is we live in hope. They lived in expectation.

You’re not wrong.

I happened upon a Twitter thread by The Leeds United fans re Tyler Adams today (as the usual random journalists have linked him to us), and LOADS of them were still crapping on about White, and how they should refuse to sell us Adams, or demand £60m “to see how they like it” for him, simply because of the White thing

Others were claiming that Adams would want to stay with them over a move to us (or Villa) if the bids came in. Sure, lads. In the Championship.

They are the gift that keeps on giving.
