Would be a good deal all round. We'd get a known asset for a really crucial season without any outlay. The cats out of the bag with him now so there's no way we are going to get him without spending a fortune. Works out for Chelsea too as they get to see him in a good side in Europe for another season to make sure he's what they want and let this summers unpleasantness recede.
Why don’t we just bend over and lube ourselves up for Chelsea? Or shall we just let them go in dry?

Yes let’s develop their player for another year and give them one of our best ever players as well
So we get 75m + Colwill on loan for the season for example.Give?
......equally we potentially get £70m profit and another top 6 place due to a great defence and some clever recruitment, plus another season to find a value LCB
If he came here next season (and doesnt want to sign a new deal with Chelsea) he'd have a year left at end of it, so next close season the odds of getting him would be better and he'd be even more Albion!
Well we were apparently holding them to ransom. So seems fair.Give?
Even Chelsea are not that stupid, he comes on loan, he signs a new contract. If not he takes his chances at the club he is contracted to
As we're in Europe I think having Colwill in the squad could mean a good run, so yes I'd take that plus £80m. We loan plenty of players out so, while not first choice, I think on this occasion it's an acceptable this or nothing choice. And if you think Chelsea will sell us the Under 21 England Captain thenWhy don’t we just bend over and lube ourselves up for Chelsea? Or shall we just let them go in dry?

straight back atcha.
And your evidence for that statement
Moises is going anyway. So we could have this season with no moises and no Levi. If we get Levi on loan for this season that's one position we don't have to strengthen now for no cost. A shit load to spend strengthening the squad the rest of the squad.

This model has been successful now for a good couple of season and the club have generated some serious transfer profits, but what if it carries on for 1-2 more seasons and the surplus profit is, say £200-£300 million more? That could quite easily be the case if we sell Ferguson, Enciso, Mitoma. The extra money has to be used for something, and Bloom doesn't strike me as a Glazer sort to extract monies as interest / dividend payments.
I think the higher you get you need to strike a balance. Of still doing it buy mixing it with quality. You might argue Dahouds a good example. Getting the lallanas and Milners of this world slightly earlier. But we still need to pay off debt, secure our future and be financially profitable.
