Todd getting a bad rap already? Brought in KK Fofana sterling and CuCu and a few youngsters in his first transfer window without a DOF? because there wasn't time to pick the right man for the job during the transfer window! Cmon man's done a great job so far.

Summary:
Mendy: Extension not a priority.
Kepa: Will listen to offers, even a loan for him to get rid of his wages.
Baxter: Could be a back up to Mendy.
James: Extension should happen this season.
Azpilicueta: Has a gentleman's agreement with Chelsea to move to Barcelona. Impression is that Azpilicueta wants to leave Chelsea for Barcelona this summer. Could be forced against his will to stay, but won't cause a problem if so.
Sterling: Could stay at Chelsea to provide cover for James. Is highly regarded and impressed in pre-season last year.
Chilwell: Contract expires in 2025, so nothing should happen.
Alonso: Barca wants him, now seems a good time for Chelsea to sell.
Silva: A leader and is loved by Tuchel. Could be allowed to stay at Chelsea for as long as he wants to.
Chalobah: Will be attentive to what happens to Kounde this summer and what that means for him. Could leave if Chelsea sign Kounde.
Sarr: A loan move is likely
Colwill: Very highly rated. Tuchel will take a close look in pre-season. Will be watching if his pathway is blocked by any new signings, if blocked he could leave permanently.
Ampadu: Will be decided in pre-season.
Jorginho: Could leave to Italy, but Tuchel rates him and replacements wont be cheap.
Kante: Tuchel wants to keep him, but extending isn't easy decision
Kovacic: No talks to extend contract that expires in 2024. If he doesn't renew soon there will be no shortage of interest for him.
Barkley: Has seemingly no desire to move somewhere he might feature more regularly, contract expires next summer.
Gilmour: Happy with Chelsea activating a clause for one more year, his contract now expires in 2024.
Gallagher: Should be in position to play a lot of minutes next season. Likeliest to be given a real chance of all the loanees.
Mount: Contract expires 2024. Clock is ticking, because elite clubs in England and Europe are already monitoring his situation.
Pulisic: No prospect of Pulisic extending his contract that expires in 2024. Tuchel doesn't regard Pulisic as a starter, but as a impact sub. Would be best to sell him this summer.
Hudson-Odoi: Big season for him now. Contract expires 2024.
Ziyech: Doesn't have a productive relationship with Tuchel, doesn't fit in Chelseas system. Selling him could be the best for all parties.
Werner: Lots of admirers in Germany, but he's on big money, so no club there can buy him other than Bayern who are prioritizing a move for Mane. Werner likely will stay.
Havertz: Nothing expected to happen. Still has time to prove himself.
Lukaku: A move to Inter would be very bad for Chelsea's financials, but keeping him isn't an option.
Broja: Could offer a low-cost, high-upside option to helping Tuchel move on from the Lukaku mess without suffering on the pitch.

Everyone complains that the Dippers are great at making signings and that we always mess the majority of ours up. Dippers then come in with a large offer for one of our players, who is still young, and people want to take it? OK....

the players let Tuchel down many times by failing to score in games, he deserved much better than the dross he’s been watching.

Can we please just wait and see IF he fits in our team. So much he doesn't suit us he shouldn't be here, he will score goals and nothing eles. Good we fuking need goals, because tbh there hasn't been any 1 eles banging them in. U haven't even seen him kick a ball in this team yet. I no some of your are disappointed and u have a right to be if u don't like him, but please give him a chance trust TT and trust the club. If this all fails then fair enough go bananas, but cmon some comments on here is like we are already 10 games in, he could turn out to be a torres Moratta buy, or he could just turn out to be a Diego buy.

Some of this Lukaku criticism is going way overboard now. 😂
None of us want the club to spend 100m on him but some of you are acting like he’s an embarrassment to the sport. 
 
 

I think it's really arrogant for people to think a player like Lukaku is somehow beneath the level of Chelsea as a club, and that the club should be entitled to have a Haaland, Lewandowski or whoever of that caliber.
Lukaku these days is a really good player and I know I'm quite alone with my opinion but I'd really like to see him back if/when Haaland is out of reach. Aside from the very top few strikers in the world Lukaku is about as quaranteed as can be to score +20 goals a season in the PL. Yes he's not a perfect player and yes he has his flaws, but the fact still remains the club desperately need a top class striker and Lukaku fits the bill. I for one am not confident at all about landing Haaland even next year when every top club on Earth will have a go at him.
I've said before that I'm willing to see out the coming season with the current set of players and hope they (especially Werner) can improve in front of goal enough to stay competitive, but that was always assuming Lukaku is off the table as well. If Haaland, Lewandowski etc. are out of the question but Lukaku is within reach, I say go for it.
