[Albion] Levi Colwill

[Baldseagull]

Good luck to him, I hope he gets the game time he wants.

 

[Weststander]

Am I surprised he isn’t moving this window … not at all.

Am I surprised he has signed a new deal ? Massively.

For a player who apparently it was all about game time I think I’d have made sure I was getting it before I tied myself down to a contract that long.

I’m sure he has got a massive payrise, but I think I’d have waited a few months to make sure before I signed it.

This was an unusual situation, Chelsea had him by goolies, because he was on bugger all u18 pay. They could make him stay on that until June25 if vindictive needs be.

Signing a new contract was the only way he could get his hands on serious money, when all around him at all ages are millionaires or soon to be.

Personally think he might struggle this season.

 

[Justice]

If I’m honest, I’m sure others will agree, I’m gutted not to get him.

I think we’ve seen the rise in social media in football and the influence it can have. Had it not been for Chelsea fans on social media being so passionate in not wanting to sell him I think Todd and his clowns would have accepted £40m.

Very interested to see what game time he gets. Can see either him or Badiashile on the market this time next year.

He played 17 times for us not really gutted at all., didn’t seem to have much recovery pace for a young lad. Looked ok when the rest of the team were purring struggled when we went under the cosh. Potential yes although I didn’t think it was worth £40m after only 17 indifferent PL appearances.

I always said we should have dumped him on a hillside in Weardale with nothing except a toothpick and a can of mackerel to get home with.

Too generous. The post did remind me of this though . . . . Which will be a magnet for @Harry Wilson's tackle

Up on a hill top, far from the city
Overlooking a stream
I heard a sound, it made me look round
I looked back where I had just been
There just behind a ledge
There was a man he leapt to and fro
Running away from the Bridge

Suddenly I heard a ringing singing
But he was nowhere to be seen


To be serious ( yes yes, I know) we bid more than enough, and it wasn't deemed enough . . . .we learn from that and move on.
I'm sure we've already got someone better.

I’ll be clapping him when/if he lines up against us whatever.

 

[Yes Chef]

His loss

 

[dstanman]

No doubt Winstanley is feeling smug with Colwill not coming to us and feel he has got the upper hand, but TB still has Moises and Sanchez in his back pocket to play. Wish Colwill all the best

 

[Munchkin]

Top player with huge potential. Guessing we wouldn’t have been able to match the terms he’s about to sign at Chelsea and his England chances are sadly enhanced playing with one of the supposed ‘big boys’

Seems a good lad and wish him all the best, hope he gets a good reception when back at The Amex.

 

[jcdenton08]

He was never coming though. It was never on the table since they very first said “he is not for sale”. The final confirmation was the Igor Julio signing. He’s a successful loan who has gone back to his parent club as planned, just like Ben White.

I posted about 50 pages ago he wasn’t coming and urged people to not get excited about the prospect.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Oh well we gave it our best shot.

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Poor lad’s been kippered by them. I wish him well, which will be difficult as I hope Chelsea rot in hell.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Still got his Amex buddies on his twitter profile!

Probably gone by the morning but we got the message Levi. Best of luck in your future career, hopefully you end up at a much nicer club at some point.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Just for the record, I don't feel as positive towards the bloke as some people here.

 

[lawros left foot]

Just seen the rumour,


Chelsea fans think they will be paying him £100,000 a week.

For 13 PL starts.

Madness.

 

[brighton_tom]

I wish him luck. But now he's held out for the big money wages he's going to have to prove himself there. Any mistakes might not be so easily forgiven as if he'd come here or if he'd stayed there as a low wages player. When Chalobah first started playing in their defence they crowed about what a good player their youth team had produced, and now he's out in the cold. We all know how good LC was for us, but Chelsea have a different style so no guarantees.

 

[nwgull]

Unlike others on here, I don't wish him luck. Nothing personal, as he seems like a great lad, but I hope that he struggles in an unsettled Chelsea team and they finish mid-lower table again. I genuinely think that Colwill is going to find it much harder playing in the Chelsea defence.

 

[Pavilionaire]

He was great for us and I wish him all the best, but it's Chelsea. It could so easily go tits up for him, as a real lack of experience in the side means Thiago Silva will be a starter while French international Disasi hasn't arrived merely to warm the bench, and eventually Badiashile and Fofana will get fit.

No European football and with most of the 5 subs likely to be for attackers and midfielders then someone in defence is going to lose out.

I agree with this. I thought he was okay but not sure what all the fuss is about. He has a lot of potential though.

It's funny what the internet does to folk. Chelsea fans crowing about how good he is and how we won't sign him.

Most of them will have barely seem him play. Yet they get swept up as if they know every attribute of his game.

 

[sparkie]

I do wish him well for the future, but I'm not really disappointed that we didn't get to sign him. The saga is at an end and Chelsea's chance of a Caicedo discount is in tatters. Oh well.
