Reece James

The tackle in the box was extraordinary, I honestly thought he had given a penalty away but to get his foot in on that was something else. Apparently Benzema chased him for a shirt swap after the game, that tells you how well he did.

Real tapping up again?

 
Defintely going to be others trying to get him. We need to make sure we keep pushing for top honours, so he has less reason to think about a change in a few years. Otherwise, can see someone like City or Real wanting him.

Indeed. Same with Mount.

If James evalution is as RCB then wonder who takes over as rwb

 
Honestly can't see him going anywhere any time soon, or really ever. Seems to absolutely love the club. He was amazing last night. Also, I loved looking at the very first post on this thread and then jumping to the last page. What a player.

 
A performance like tonight’s shows just how insane it is to waste him as a RCB. 
 

Of course I’m going to sound crazy for saying it but I sincerely believe if Chilwell and James has been fit all season we’d still be in with a chance of the title this season, as good as Liverpool are if they’d spent most of their season without TAA and Robertson they’d be in a similar position to us.

 
There are times he goes straight beast mode.  Just a sublime player that has all the potential to become a club legend.  Hopefully he can stay fitter next season as what a difference he makes.

It amazes me that anyone thinks playing him at CB is anything other than a complete waste of time. If we are doing it to fit into the 5 at the back and cover Azpilacueta then thats like buying a Ferrari and using it to pull a caravan.

 
Only way he should ever be in the back 3 is he we have another class RWB coming through. For example, if Tino had stayed here i wouldn't have minded seeing him RWB with James in behind him. 

 
He had space yesterday as Elanga was not working back and Matic was too slow.

There have been rumblings recently about his hamstring susceptibility at RWB and suggestions he might need to go to RCB.

I don't think we can take it for granted he will stay as a RWB. 

 
Apparently, Reece and Mason are amongst the lowest earners in the squad but the highest achievers. This cannot be right and one of the first jobs for the new owner has to be getting both signed up for long term deals that reward their status. It beggars belief that the likes of Timo and Lukaku are earning 5 times the wage of Reece, this will only lead to resentment leading to having their heads turned by lucrative offers elsewhere.

This is normal though as it’s their first senior contract, & has nothing to do with other players contracts . They will definitely get a much improved contract, you just hope they don’t have agents in their ears demanding £200k/w. 

 
Apparently Real Madrid have let it be know to Reece what they would pay him to join and hope to have him sign in the summer of 2023.

 
I’m really beginning to hate that lot!

Just swanning around tapping up players! Chunts!

Spanish clubs are the worst for it. Both Benzema and Vinicius the other day were obviously trying to get him to think about Real Madrid. I'm not worried though, I don't think James has any plans on going anywhere.

I expect club like Real, Barca and Bayern will be on high alert to see how the new Chelsea owners settle in. If our levels drops they will see the opportunity to poach our players, like 2 of them did already during this uncertainty.

 
Yea definitely, we need to wrap this up and get some new contracts flowing!

I think Bruce Buck must have his bags packed already!

Hopefully. And also hopefully takes everyone from the board bar Petr Cech with him. 

Since this has to happen we need a fresh start imo.

James is undoubtedly the crown jewel of our academy. We have produced some brilliant players as well, Mount, Gallagher, Chalobah, Livramento etc. However I think James is the best of the bunch.
