I would promote him to first team when he clocks 18 by January

only two I will lose my mind on are Bate and especially LIVRAMENTO

Guehi is short (only 5-11) and not, IMHO, an elite CB, and do not see him becoming one anytime soon (at least not in the next 2 or 3 years)

Expand  

Guehi may be short, but he wins his aerial duels also against 195 cm defenders. Why? Because of his positioning and his great jumpong abilities. I have seen it with my own eyes. He is a physical beast with great technique. A modern defender. If Azpi can play back 3, Guehi can play it too. In fact, Swansea plays with a back three.

I watched him play a lot

not freaking out he is leaving, especially as we have BOTH a sell-on clause and a right of first refusal

Both have nothing in common. Soonsup Bell is more like a King Kai Havertz. Soonsup Bell used to be a no. 10,so he has great creativity, but moved to CF because he can finish as well and he is quite fast

Worst case for me is that Ruben, Tammy, Livra, Bate and Guehi leave all this window. 

Expand  

I think Liva and Bate will be here, although may get the Solanke treatment when he decided not to extend. For me the club are right to look to sell RLC. Tammy is a bit of a funny one as I would keep him but he needs to accept a CF2 role while if someone comes in with £35m+ you've got to ask whether it os better to cash in as Havertz and Werner can also play CF2.

Report: Chelsea Make Thomas Tuchel Decision

The Blues are putting faith in the manager.

https://www.si.com/soccer/Chelsea/news/report-Chelsea-make-thomas-tuchel-decision

Chelsea have made the decision to allow boss Thomas Tuchel to make judgements on players before any transfer moves for those returning to pre-season training, according to reports.

The returning loanees and players who did not feature in Euro 2020 or the Copa America have returned to training for Chelsea and now Tuchel will have the opportunity to assess his squad before the club make any decisions on players futures.

As per Football.London, the German will 'make judgements' on players before decisions are taken on their long-term futures at Chelsea.

This news will come as a boost to many Chelsea players as they return for pre-season training with a fresh slate, looking to impress the new Blues boss.

A host of senior stars returned  from their holidays to participate in pre-season, including Edouard Mendy, Marcos Alonso, Christian Pulisic, Hakim Ziyech, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Tammy Abraham.

Several loanees rerturned too such as Matt Miazga, Davide Zappacosta, Conor Gallagher, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Trevoh Chalobah.

Everyone has the opportunity to impress Tuchel and work their way into his plans at Chelsea before the club become active in the transfer window.

Armando Broja also returned from loan and will be looking to impress as the Blues are said to be in the market for a striker, most notably showing interest in bringing in world-class striker Erling Haaland this summer.

However, Dortmund do not wish to sell their star and a 'massive bid' is necessary in order for Chelsea to stand a chance.

Very doubtful, if they won't renew we will sell them now. Marina isn't going to let them walk for free.

I quite disagree...they both might occupy same position but quality and ability wise he is more of Cristiano than Kai...

[Special Juan 27,599]

Romano saying no official bid from us yet, BVB know of our interest...BVB say if crazy bid doesn't arrive he stays

So we have to stump up the cash and he is ours. Dead clear.

Bate and Livramento have been made to train with the youth team apparently.

I can't tell if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

[Vesper 29,308]

we need to STOP searching for a RWB and promote Livramento (or at least assure him is the future)

if you (and MANY here already hate the idea) remove a converted Adama Traore from the picture

and also take into account that Barca are NOT going sell Emerson Royal and that Silas Katompa Mvumpa is out with a really bad knee injury

 

then the RB/RWB prospect list is really short

Ridle Baku (probably the best we could get)
James Justin (Leicester will want a shedload of cash)
Joakim Maehle  (I am very wary that his Euros were a blip)

Hearing that, then the obvious conclusion is that we are selling players to raise money to buy him. 

Hence why we just sold Guehi, and soon more to follow.

Scenes if we raise the money to go buy Rice instead...

[MoroccanBlue 5,322]

People need to remember our spending last summer had only 10% being amortised  that fiscal year. The remaining 90% has to be included on our books this year. 
 

Champions league + CL qualification money is helping, but other operation costs go with it. Much like others have stated, we need to sell before we can buy.
