It's almost a certainty there will be a notable clearance in regards to our attackers come the summer. 

Who will buy who?

Stop even giving thought to the Dembele stuff. Not a single reliable source has said a peep about it.

We have no room at all for another wide attacker right now.

But it would be a very Chelsea thing if we get Dembele and not a LWB backup in this window.

Even we aren’t dumb enough for this.

Although, we did recently recall Kenedy which may the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen us do so…. 🙃

Replace Werner with Pulisic.

It looks like we are movingly to different system that actually have wingers so it would suit Pulisic better. Not sure where would Timo play plus he seems most likely to push for a move due unhappiness.

We don’t need one If we play 4 at the back, Sarr can play the conservative LB which basically forms a back 3 while the RB pushes forward.

You say this but just wait till the shortcomings become apparent in that position and people will complain why we don't have a decent LB/LWB.

By that logic, you might want to include your boy Havertz as well.

if we want a little of hope to win champions league this season we need a new left back!!

If we want to get rid of Cho & Werner, there would be a number of German suitors. Ziyech has been linked with a number of Italian clubs (mainly AC Milan), so I guess whether he can maintain some form will be the deciding factor.

By German suitors, you mean Bayern and Dortmund?

No offence to Dortmund but it's debatable whether CHO and Werner would want to take a step down to Dortmund. Yes, they may play a lot more there but they might not earn as much (Dortmund unlikely to pay big wages) AND they aren't gonna win anything except for the odd DFB Pokal success here and there. In Werner's case, Dortmund are supposedly trying to keep Haaland for another season at least. If they succeed, then they won't go for Werner. If they fail, then they would very likely go after someone like Adeyemi instead. Bayern are a bigger possibility but they already have a number of wingers and if Lewandowski stay, CHO and Werner would just be walking into a similar situation there. If Lewandowski leaves, Bayern might come for Werner because of the Nagelsmann connection but that's also debatable considering their sporting director turned him down when he was flying high at Leipzig.

Would also throw Pulisic into the mix of potentially leaving/being sold.

How weird would it be to play against Lampard’s Everton?

I think Leipzig or even Leverkusen could go for CHO if he became available. It's probably Bayern or bust, as you mentioned, where Werner is concerned & I could imagine Nagelsmann pushing for him if the chance arose.

Pulisic is a weird one, as I'm unsure who could want/afford him considering the probable fee. He seems like someone I could see going off to Spain.

[ZAPHOD2319 4,476]

Pulisic would do well in Italy.

Everton are potentially in a relegation battle for the remainder of the season so if they don’t get this next appointment right it could be catastrophic in the same way Newcastle appointing Howe could/will likely be because I think they alongside Norwich are fucked. 

The Everton job is a big job too with its own problems - the owners obviously got his opinion and unrealistic expectations for the club based on the money put in, the squads a vastly overpriced mix of players and I don’t think any manager with half a brain should be looking to rush into there, particularly one who hasn’t ever experienced a relegation battle and has had 2 good jobs at clubs who were expected to push for top of the table spots (Derby were in playoffs season before he went there and we finished 3rd season beforehand).

If hypothetically (seems very likely) we move to 4atb and lose Chris and Azpi do we even need more than one new signing to replace them? Assuming we keep Rudiger.

Rudiger (Chalobah) Silva (Kounde)

Kounde can also replace James at RB when needed.

Or if we need 5th CB do we use someone like Sarr or go for new signing?

Levi Colwill may be ready. he really looks a potential beast
