Worrying that no left back is mentioned. We need a quality one! Hopefully it will not be two new centre-halves, Ivan on the right and Azpi on the left... If he is to stay into the starting lineup, Ivanovic must play as a centre back only and nothing more than that. 

Baba has big potential in my opinion.

I really don't see those left-backs apart from Coentrao. Rodriguez is a no go as his father said that he will move to Real sometime in the future.

Cresswell?! 

[BlueLyon 9,359]

The way I see it, we need 

1.) Workers in midfield, like Nainggolan, Vidal, Kante. 

2.) Top cb

3.) Goalscorer. Costa alone is not enough, we need someone who can guarantee at least 20 goals per season in all competitions.

Then if someone leaves like Matic, Cesc,...we would need their replacements too.

About LB; if Conte believes in Baba, he should be given a chance. No need to spend big again and then see Baba perform well at another club.

 

Oscar, Mikel, Cuadrado, Djilobodji should be sold to generate some funds, also Pedro to release space for already mentioned goalscorer. 

Courtois, Begovic

Top CB, Zouma, Cahill, Baba, Bane, Azpi, Terry/Christensen, Kenedy

Cesc, Matic, Nainggolan, Vidal/Kante, RLC, Willian, Hazard, Traore

Costa, Griezmann, backup striker

Thats 21 players. We would probably need backup for Cesc too, but its highly unrealistic we will bring more than 5 new players.

Heard this a lot from Ligue 1 followers, even earned himself a lot of respect this season. Would add a good plethora of experience. 

Resisted the urge to go for Griezmann? Particularly if Atletico are keen on this Costa reunion, could prove an easy deal if Simeone wants the Cost. Griezmann & Lacazette?

How do you think Fabregas will do under Conte? On the ball Fabregas' talent can't be ignored but finding his right position in this team's proven.. difficult lol. Of course with Diarra and Matuidi he'd have a lot more freedom, would you play him higher than those two or sit in a 3?

Griezmann is not a #9 though, rather a supporting striker. Not the type to sit up top and lead the line.

I have no idea. You'd hope he would be able to flourish a bit with the right players around him. If he doesn't, drop him and sell him I say. But that's easier said than done. At his age and with his wages, only a few clubs can afford him. And do they want him? ....

I just dont get the pedro love on here. 

In my opinion, the first 2 players out of the squad SHOULD be oscar and pedro. Atrocious Players. Definition of mediocrity.

Tbf you know it's bad when you're pining for the return of the David Luiz and #AzpilicuetaOut

Ivanovic should no longer be within the plans of new coach Antonio Conte and ASRoma would like to take advantage of. (via @forzaroma)

Pedro would be a useful squad player, not sure this is what he wants though because he could have been that in a much better team. Oscar I agree should be shipped regardless.

[Strike 6,960]

I like the vibe Conte is walking in with. I have an inkling he is distracted from his National Team job right now and seriously thinking about the Chelsea squad for next season. Also confident that the club will be able to secure transfers regardless of our lack of Champions League football.

So can kenedy/Traore/Musonda. In a season with no CL, the only use for a squad player will be playing domestic cups or when the first teamers are injured/sub role. I would rather that it be given to kids than a headless chicken.

I don't have the faith that you have in the Board in securing the right transfers.  They won't back Conte which is why I believe he will be out of the Bridge in less than 6 months.

The accountants have taken over and while CL football is an important goal, the main objective for them would be the biggest profits in transfers this summer.  Sell Costa, Courtouis and Hazard while buying championship level players for a couple of million quid and a loanee or two.

Stop making crap up, what you are saying is an utter fabrication. The board tried to support Jose, but his targets were unrealistic and the club were unable to get them. Going by the newsmedia reports, the club were clearly prepared to spend big money.

It's an opinion not a fabrication so get that into that thick skull of yours.

Stones was a perfectly realistic target and the Board fucked it up or rather they never wanted to spend the money and made a great pretense of it.  Last minute inquiries for Marquinhos and Pogba made the whole summer transfer to be a bigger fiasco than it already was.  The fact that two-bit players like Papy and Hector were the alternatives clearly indicates that the Board was NEVER into spending big money.  If they were serious about it, there would be equivalent alternatives in terms of player quality.

Lacazette scoring yet again for Lyon on Friday. 

God I hope we're after not only Him but his teammate CB Samuel Umtiti too. 

Gotta raid OL for those two talents.

Shouldn't we also be going for Xhaka? Since we need midfield.
