Tomori is the only one that can actually develop. Those three are lost causes. It was widely reported we would only sell one of Zouma, Rudiger, or Christensen not all of them.

That team is filled with match winners and an experienced midfield. We sort out the GK and CB with quality, there are zero excuses as to why that team does not challenge. Not to mention the amount of depth we will have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did not see him a lot but based on this videos you can find similar for Emerson for example. Can we have full backs like Liverpool with 15+ goals contribution per season? That would be Gosens and Telles. All others do not get that. Also, if that is what you're looking for then Alonso is pretty much in that category too if he plays week in, week out.

I wonder if he'd be thrown straight into the senior squad for next season or whether he's one who would go out on loan for a season or two. Bringing an 18 year old kid in and expecting him to solve our defensive crisis doesn't sound plausible. So I'm guessing loan?

Problem is pool and city will add and are already far ahead though they have been in their jobs for much longer. If real progress can be seen then the season after that we will be proper challengers.

The Blues were unable to register any new players during the 2019 summer transfer ban as a result of serving a punishment in regards to breaching FIFA rules in their dealings with overseas players under the age of 18. That decision was later overturned in December, but the west London outfit opted not to sign a single player in the January transfer window despite links to Jadon Sancho, Moussa Dembele and Ben Chilwell among others. And by the time the winter window was open, Mbuyamba had already been snapped up by La Liga giants Barcelona. Only time will tell if the Blues end up ruing this particular transfer decision. But the wonderkid has revealed that he was keen to join the west London outfit after training with the youth teams last summer. snip MASSIVE potential, huge (1.95m at 17yo), super athletic CB Chelsea close in on deal for 'the next Virgil van Dijk' with 18-year-old Xavier Mbuyamba, who trained with the Blues last season and is now a free agent after leaving Barcelona https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8591995/Chelsea-close-deal-Virgil-van-Dijk-Xavier-Mbuyamba.html Chelsea are closing in on a deal to sign 18-year-old defender Xavier Mbuyamba, who has been dubbed 'the next Virgil van Dijk'. The highly-rated Dutchman joined Barcelona from MVV Maastricht last summer but has now left the Nou Camp and will look to continue his development elsewhere. Mbuyamba trained with Chelsea last year but they couldn't follow up on their interest because he was contracted to Barcelona. Muzchap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GK James----Tomori----CB----Reguilón Kante----Kovacic Ziyech------Havertz-----Pulisic Werner Personally I would love to see the following (which I think is realistic too from a financial point of view if we make at least 2-3 sales this window): Onana James----Dunk----Rudiger----Reguilón Rice Havertz----Kante Ziyech Pulisic Werner Kante is not really a pure DM, he benefits from a roaming role. Rice is decent DM with good ballplaying skills, would do well in DM for us. Rice is also crucial as we need a leader on the pitch, really missing it now. I don't see us being able to buy any world class CB this window, I would take Dunk for a few seasons as he is decent. I still have at least a bit of faith in Rudiger. Reguilon is a wild card as he has so few senior games under his belt, but did well Sevilla from the few games I saw, and seems very cheap. You can't buy world class for every position in one window. Id love ATS or Oblak, but I just dont see them or any other top5 keeper moving this window. Onana is also quite cheap. Squad would also offer good options from the bench for most positions. Whether this eleven can compete for the PL depends on how the squad gels, fitness and how the new signings perform. Getting Werner to hit 25 goals/season and consistent performances from Pulisic, Ziyech and Havertz will be enough to win a lot of points. Lampard developing as a coach is also very important to how we perform, its not just the players. We managed to get some results this season against Liverpool, Man C, Man U, Arsenal and Spurs. In my opinion the above eleven is vastly superior, so why wouldnt we be able to provide a greater challenge next season? kellzfresh and Muzchap 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
