[Albion] Levi Colwill

[Berty23]

The quantity and quality of talent produced by the Chelsea Academy is genuinely staggering. Kudos must go to Frank Lampard for being the first manager in many years to utilise it.

No doubt Levi would have had a fondness for Albion but at Chelsea Football Club he'll likely have the chance of regular Champions League football and a pathway to the England senior side. Not only that but this coming season he'll get to play alongside Thiago Silva - one of the greatest central defenders this millennium, what price can a young player put on such an experience?

This is funny.

Team bottom half of prem not in Europe next season can offer European football and route to england while a team in Europe next season where he learned so much from Dunk that he was asked to train with England.

Frank Lampard only used it because you had a transfer embargo and I have to say his efforts at being a PL manager have been f***ing hilarious

He finished 4th in the league and got to a cup final during the embargo season. Are you saying that's a bad season?

Fair comment, quality of players over manager I think? Remind me what he’s done since.

To our recent Chelsea trolls I would like to offer my congratulations on signing your own player. I am sure you will be impressed when you get to see him.

Just a reminder to everyone he’s 19-20 that you’re basing his appearances on. Lewis Dunk was 23 when he started playing League One football regularly.

2 people liked this and that's crazy because it's factually ridiculous. For a start, when Dunk was 23 (in 2014/15 season) he was playing regularly and top scoring for us under Hyypia/Hughton. The previous two seasons were both in the Championship but he rarely played because of those in front of him but at 20 he was playing regularly in the Championship (11/12) under Gus until El-Abd got fit again. Dunk was never a regular in League 1 football.

I can't, I've erased it from my memory.

 

[um bongo molongo]

Any chance of another season’s loan once he’s signed his new contract? Would we even want him once he has signed to Chelsea for another few years??

My first thought as well. I’ve said all along I think he’ll come on loan as part of the Caicedo deal and I still think that’s where we’ll end up.

Ok my bad - but still, Colwill has achieved a lot more , a lot younger than Dunk at a much higher level. So writing off Colwill is a bit ridiculous

Lampard's fetish for the academy was both a blessing and a course, tbh

I do agree with that - Colwill's career to date is very encouraging and suggests a player of real talent and ability. Which we've seen over the last season! But we were never going to sign him on a permanent deal this summer, there wasn't a deal to be done. I'm sure the club hasn't wasted their team, as proven by the signing of Igor Julio - but people on this site certainly have done!

It wasn't a great when you take into account how many things fell his way. Lampard gets way too much credit for finishing 4th that season, and with context it wasn't that great

 

[Blaaaah]

I hope you stay on this board.


You really are funny.


Edit; I apologise to anyone who feels I'm taking the piss out of a mentally challenged individual.

Thanks for thinking I'm funny, but mentally disturbed? Nah, just slightly unhinged

He didn’t want to join a BETTER club?

He left a better club to go to Brighton and then left Brighton to go back to that club.

Oh come on. You’re not even the best team in Fulham!

No ones celebrating the fact that we signed our own player, because it's not a flex that a player chose us over Brighton

 

[Blaaaah]

Yep, we're the best team in the South

Why not? Caicedo £90m + Sanchez £30m going in their direction, Colwill (humour them with, say £50m) plus a humungous chunk of money going in our direction. Both clubs need to think they've got the best end of the deal. And at this moment in time, maybe both would

 

[SeagullinExile]

Yep, we're the best team in the South

Awwww bless. Of course you are

About a hundred large a week.

Can't believe we have two Chelsea plastics arguing over Fat Frank on here...

Get rid
