Three CB's is a bit overkill even with a three, that will leave us with: 

Silva

K2

Kimp

Akè

Colwill

Trev

Sarr

That is 7 CB's and is before we get to Dave who can play CB. 

Now don't get me wrong Sarr, I do not want to see much more of, but I am really not seeing the logic of Akè as Colwill and Trev are fine as back-ups to the first three. 

My ideal, would still be to get MDL and leave us with:

Thiago, K2, MDL, Colwill, Trev 

In a 3atb, everyone would get minutes, especially with 5 subs. After next season we could then explore if we need a need starting CB to replace Thiago or a back-up one if Colwill/Trev take their chances. In an emergency, James can also be shifted over (which is why I want a 2nd RWB.) 

Pretty sure almost everyone said Koulibaly is De Ligt's alternative, which mean that ship has sailed.

Don't waste time on Gnabry. 

 

Find a winger that is banging in goals and add him to the team. We need finishers. High work rate, and good finisher. Plenty of young, up and coming ones that can give the current crop a run for there money.

Looks like we will get our defense sorted which is nice. But forward options of the quality required are rapidly diminishing.

Chelsea have ditched their tentative interest in Cristiano Ronaldo following talks between head coach Thomas Tuchel and co-owner Todd Boehly.

The possibility of Chelsea making a bid to sign Ronaldo was raised when Boehly met the forward’s agent Jorge Mendes in Portugal after which Manchester United were informed of his desire to leave.

As reported by Telegraph Sport, Boehly was always clear that he would not try to sign Ronaldo without first receiving the blessing of Tuchel.

The pair have now discussed the subject and it is understood that Chelsea will not bid for Ronaldo, having completed the signing of Raheem Sterling from Manchester City.

Boehly had been briefly intrigued by the prospect of making a move for Ronaldo, but has backed away following the talks with Tuchel, who is understood to want the focus to be on his team rather than one individual.

The signing of Ronaldo would have also taken the attention away from Sterling, who Chelsea’s new owners and Tuchel see as a marquee signing for the club.

United have maintained that 37-year-old Ronaldo, who has missed the club’s pre-season tour, is not for sale with a number of overseas clubs unable to match his wage demands. Reports have claimed a Saudi Arabian club are willing to offer him £105 million a year.

Chelsea could still look to add to their forward options before the transfer window closes, but the immediate priority is to strengthen the defence.

Kalidou Koulibaly will link up with the club on their US Tour after Chelsea agreed to pay Napoli £34m for the 31-year-old, while the club remain in talks with Manchester City over a fee for Nathan Ake, who has already agreed personal terms with the Blues.

Tuchel ideally wants three new central defenders, with Presnel Kimpembe, who he managed at Paris St-Germain, targeted. If Chelsea are successful in landing all of their defensive targets, then captain Cesar Azpilicueta may be allowed to leave the club.

Azpilicueta wants to return to Spain at Barcelona, but has been told he must wait to find out his future while Chelsea attempt to sign new defenders.

Boehly has promised Tuchel as many as six new players this summer and Chelsea will also look to add a new right wing-back to their squad to help provide cover for Reece James.

Chelsea will offer new contracts to James, Mason Mount and goalkeeper Edouard Mendy as the new owners also attempt to re-balance the club’s wage bill.

Other than working on the squad, Chelsea will announce the arrival of former Manchester City executive Tom Glick as the club’s new chief executive and he will take charge of all non-football operations.

Chelsea are also still talking to candidates over the director of football job, which they hope to fill in plenty of time for the January transfer window.

Just sign one of Ake or Kimpembe and give Colwill a shot, as I feel we are not there yet to challenge City and Liverpool for the PL but could go far in cup competitions.

so if Chelsea will look for a reece james backup, our defense will be like this:

reece (backup) | Thiago, Chalobah, Ake, Kimpembe, Koulibaly | Chilwell (Emerson)

This?
