Between Konate, Upamecano, and Koundé I wonder how experts would rank these 3 French CB’s. All pretty much the same age, all about to step up to massive clubs. Upamecano had somewhat of a drop in performances this past season, didn’t he?

Actually seen enough of these to rank: 

Kounde

Upamecano

Konate

However there are caveats with this list. Firstly, I have listed them on best all round but that doesn't mean best fit for Chelsea. Kounde will always be the covering CB for his team and never the main leader of the line. Konate is really hard to place owing to injuries, however I haven't been that impressed with him. Reminds me a bit of a more technical, slightly less physical Zouma. As for Upmecano he is good all round but can be shown up at times against tricky players and can pass himself into trouble. However, those are fixable flaws with more experience and dedication. He won't ever be better than Kounde on the ball.

They are not even part of pre season. Zero chance any of these players get a chance. Alonso, Chilwell are more probabile to fill that spot. 

Colwill is not part of pre-season because he already joined Huddersfield on loan for 21/22, that was confirmed already in June. He's only 18yo so with him there's plenty of time to develop into a role but first he has to impress in the Championship before even thinking about including him.

As for Mbuyamba, he's been injured a alot since joining and hasn't even had many chances to play at PL2 level so he'll defo stay with the development squad for now.

Sure as hell Sarr will stay now because we don't have anyone who could play the LCB apart from him and Rudiger.

Excluding Zouma, having 6 CBs feels rather overkill.

I don't see any reason why Kounde or Christensen can't fill in for Rudiger in the LCB role. 

If the Kounde/Zouma deal goes through it'll be a group of Silva, Christensen, Rudiger, Kounde and Azpi for the back 3 and then if required James can slot in there too.

Not really, if we are using the back three.

Still overkill, unless you're telling me that Tuchel is gonna rotate them endlessly. And Superblue has pointed out the names to fill in at CB.

Plus, if we sign Rice, then he's also another option for the CB spot if we're really down on numbers.
