Cavani is very unrealistical!

But the main problem is you assuming we will be able to offload so many players and all for decent price tags...

Well if we change Cavani for Costa that's a £28M saving which would mean half of those players could not be sold at all and we'd still be meeting FFP.

We only need 3 players: Shaw, Vidal and Costa!

However, I find it very hard to believe we will be able to offloads so many players. Not that I dont agree with your list (bar Ivanovic), but we all know how hard it is to sell unwanted reserves...

[Viper22 2,418]

So we're going to sell Chalobah and Omeruo? Why?

And we're going to loan out Davila and Delac? Can't we sell them for £10 million each to the same club we're apparently going to sell Marin and Kakuta for? It's interesting that you put their figures in pound sterling and not gumdrops or rainbows because honestly, I think that's kinda what they're worth at the moment.

Piazon over Atsu I don't understand either. I've never seen anything special in Piazon, although there's a possibility I'm wrong. Wallace....how he goes from not playing football to being back-up for Azpi I don't know. That's where I'd be inclined to include Omeruo if we sold Ivanovic, which I wouldn't.

I agree with most of the players being sold like Ramires and Luiz, but I simply don't see any reasoning for letting Chalobah go when he's got a long contract, no premier league experience and Mourinho has already hinted that he'll come back.

Also I think you've maybe left out our highest goalscorer of all time, although maybe I'm misreading.

You're probably right with Chalobah. Chalobah could stay and go out on loan then to a PL club if he's happy to do that. Kakuta for £10M is also a bit unrealistic actually in hindsight, but I reckon £10M for Marin would be more than possible to a high-middle Spanish or German club. Thing is people have heard of those 2 but they wouldn't have heard of Davila and Delac so those 2 probably wouldn't get bought and I just don't see a future for Marin or Kakuta at the club.

As for Piazon, I just like him and his style of play, think he's been very good at Vitesse from when i've watched them this season. I know that isn't a guarantee he'd do well here but i'd like to give him a chance.

As for Lampard *braces self*, I love the man, I really do, but I don't think it's fair to him to not play him when he'd still be good enough to play in Italy or USA cos he'd be behind Matic, Gundogan, Mikel and MVG in the pecking order. Also, his wages would be far too high to do that even if he wanted to. I'd much rather see him as a coach or something, but unless he took a huge cut in wages (again, not fair to expect him to do that when he could get more elsewhere) I don't think he'd be a viable squad player.

Like I said before, I'm an optimist . Well Shaw, Vidal/Gundogan and Costa would probably cost us £100-£110M so we only need to make £80-£90M in sales which I think would be quite possible.

I agree, to sign those 3 top players would cost around 100mi.

It's also very possible Torres, Eto'o, Ba, Ramires/Mikel, David Luiz, Cole and Cech wont be here next season. Plus some players like Moses, Marin, Romeu, Kakuta, Hilario, etc., might also leave. That is enough to make 70mi or more!

However, I very doubt we will get rid of players like Piazon, Josh, RLC, Bertrand, etc. And Ivanovic and Chalobah must not be sold, one is still useful and the other has huge potential...

[Intersys 3]

Am I the only one here that thinks the youth players should get more credit ? I mean, Kalas was outstanding against Liverpool. Why Chelsea is not willing to combine youth players and always prefers to spend more millions to buy players who don't play for the symbol.

Vela, Costa, Pjanic/Vidal, Shaw/Luis/RR/Moreno

Ba (£10M)

2nd XI:

----------------Cech---------------------

Wallace--Kalas---Zouma--Bertrand

-----------Mikel---------MVG-----------

--Salah-------Piazon------Schurrle--

-----------------Lukaku------------------

3rd choice GK & ST = Schwarzer & Bamford

Squad Players/Loaned Out:

Blackman, Delac, Ake, Christensen, PVA, RLC, Atsu, Lalkovic,T Hazard, Traore, Davila, Perica.

YIKES. I don't know what's more frightening this ins/outs list or the fact that this is deemed popular amongst other posters.

Fellas we are in the title race till the last day! We just got knocked out of the semis of the biggest club tourney in the world! You want to make wholesale changes to this group? good Lord! And selling young english talent like Chalobah???

We need to tweak this squad not overhaul it.

I'd be fine with INS: Rodriguez - LB, Pogba/Vidal/Kroos - CM, Costa - Striker

OUTS - Marin, Romeu, Hilario, Ramires(only if we get one of the mids I mentioned), Torres, Ba, Cole, McEachran(because I feel Baker is looking much more polished)

In this scenario we only add to what we've already built and the key pieces and squad players have increased competition. Luiz is a footballer, he is a valuable guy to have as a squad player because he's good in the midfield and also an adequate defender.

My Squad will look like this if all things go my way.

Goalies: Cech, Courtois, Schwarzer

Fullbacks: Ivanovic, Rodriguez, Azpilicueta, Bertrand

Centrebacks: Terry, Cahill, Luiz, Kalas

Midfielders: Matic, Pogba, Mikel, Lampard, Van Ginkel.

Attacking Mids: Oscar, Hazard, Willian, Schurrle, Salah

Strikers: Lukaku, Costa, Eto'o

No one can say a squad like that isn't one of the most feared teams in Europe.

why would u sell rambo but keep mikel?

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

why would u sell rambo but keep mikel?

Because Mikel is a good change of pace guy who can recycle possession, not many can do the job he does. As a squad guy I like Mikel to sure up a midfield when we need to kill a game.

Ramires I love but he's a bit too reckless and turns it over too much. I have no problem with keeping him but if we add someone like Vidal or Pogba he becomes expendable.

[Pizy 18,877]

Same 3 as Rmpr for me. Those would be my 3 dream signings that would make us an elite side capable of winning everything.

Costa, Vidal, Shaw.

You wouldn't hear me complaining about that! Shaw seems overrated in my humble opinion though. English and Chelsea fan weigh in on why people want him

I agree that Shaw is overrated but not so much that he wouldn't be a good signing. Sky is the ceiling for him and with José's coaching he can be an awesome player. If the price is really £30m, though, I hope we don't go near it.

As for Vidal, no matter how unrealistic a signing he seems I honestly believe that if we tempted Juve or he himself with a fee and wages high enough he'd join. Can't hurt to try. Pogba too for that matter.
