Some tough choices for Tuchel: all five CBs are deserving a start, Chalobah is last in hierarchy so, Rudi is locked on as LCB, so there will be 2 of Silva, AC and Azpi. Wouldn't surprise me if we will see Rudi - Silva - AC and Azpi as RWB Alonso will propably start as Chilly and Chilly will get a start vs Villa Jorginho-Kovacic are pretty match sure unless Kante makes some miracolous recovery Lukaku will start and... Havertz, Ziyech and Mount are poor/average so far, Pulisic injured, Werner is not trusted.. I have no idea who will be the 2 to start here

Rumors of RLC going on loan to Roma with option to buy.

No, they have money, but they preferred to be cautious with it because they were saving for Mbappe and Haaland next season. Don't know why they decided to go all out this season.

They are not financial wreck, where do you get that from?

Not an issue at all. So far our squad is made by just 22 players: GK: Mendy, Kepa, Bettinelli (HG) LWB: Chilwell (HG) , Alonso RWB: James (HG) , CHO (U21) CB: Rudiger, Zouma(Kounde), Christensen (HG), Silva, Azpilicueta, Chalobah (HG) CM: Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic AM/CF: Mount (HG), Lukaku (HG), Havertz, Pulisic, Ziyech, Werner NonHG - 14 HG - 7 U21 - 1 So we have 21 players who are not U21, we can still add 3 nonHG and one HG to the squad (of course we can also add 4 HG players and 0 nonHG). Saul is obviously nonHG, RLC is HG. Ampadu and Anjorin are still U2

hah how did i miss that...

So, current situation with players: 1st team players (Azpi, James, CHO positions are of course fluid): GK: Mendy, Kepa, Bettinelli LWB: Chilwell, Alonso RWB: James, CHO CB: Rudiger, Zouma, Christensen, Silva, Azpilicueta, Chalobah CM: Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic AM/CF: Mount, Lukaku, Havertz, Pulisic, Ziyech, Werner Out of these players there are still 2 uncertanities: Zouma, Chalobah - of course much depending on Kounde signing. Players who might end up with some role with 1st team: Ruben Loftus-Cheek Ethan Ampadu Faustino Anjorin With covid and rumored new

From what I read from Atletico fans he was really bad in last 2 seasons, and some may think that change of scenery might help him restart his carrer - in that case they could ask for much more money then they will get for him now.

Yeah, and out of players not in 1st team there are only specific rumors of moves for Zappacosta and Bakayoko

Players who were part of 1st team preparation but wasn't part of the first 2 official games: Lucas Bergstrom (GK) Abdul Rahman Baba Malang Sarr Jake Clarke-Salter Dujon Sterling Davide Zappacosta Ross Barkley Danny Drinkwater Tiemoué Bakayoko Tino Anjorin Ethan Ampadu Lewis Baker Charly Musonda And of course you have to add to that 1st team players who were in the squad in official games, but they future are uncertain: Alonso, Emerson, Zouma, RLC, Chalobah

Hah, propably offer loan

If someone is interested here are players, who were involved in preseason with first team, are not yet sold or loaned out, but did not travel with the team: Lucas Bergstrom (GK) Abdul Rahman Baba Malang Sarr Jake Clarke-Salter Matt Miazga Dujon Sterling Davide Zappacosta Ross Barkley Danny Drinkwater Kennedy Tiemoué Bakayoko Tino Anjorin Michy Batshuayi Ethan Ampadu Lewis Baker Charly Musonda Fuck me, still a lot of players whose future has to be sorted out (and we can add Emerson, Marcos Alonso, Zouma, Chalobah, RLC, Abraham to that)
