How is the club planning to replace Werner, Ziyech and CHO? None of the alternatives seem like upgrades.

I think at this point we can only let one of Ziyech or CHO leave.

Who is a viable replacement though?

That’s the million dollar question. But surely after letting Lukaku and Timo go plus showing a willingness to let CHO and Ziyech go means that something is being worked on.

God knows what…

Nkunku may move. As they have brought in more than one player....

The bid to sign Richarlison makes sense now. Tuchel wanted an overhaul

Matt Law now says that we will indeed press for Auba.

Not sure how I feel about that. A striker that’s going to depend entirely on chances being served up to him on a plate. If you watch pretty much every goal he scored at Barca they come from fantastic service that seemed to mostly consisted of great Dembele crosses.

That list should raise alarm bells immediately because how many of those were deemed a success? Granted a couple could still turn things around, and a couple like Neymar for example haven't exactly been flops but beyond Mbappe and maybe Bale, can you really argue any of the rest have been successful buys?

You only have to then look at Chelsea's own list for most expensive attacking buys in our history and it's littered with disaster after disaster. 

I'd much rather see a couple of well thought out and scouted buys for attacking positions than splashing out big again.

Interest seems real. Wondering how 33 yo Auba is a perfect striker for Tuchel's system

Auba signing for me feels a lot like Higuain. Will probably score a handful of goals but isn’t going to change our fortunes at all.

Underwhelming. Not many other options, though.

Why can't our scouts do their fucking job and find a gem out of nowhere? Surely there is one out there somewhere.

Probably are gems out there. But if we’re going to be splashing mega money on Fofana and perhaps De Jong I doubt we’d also have tens of millions to spend on some up and coming young talent that the selling club won’t want to let go of.

If we sort out the rest of our squad I’m fine with a stopgap striker. Just not so sure about Auba.

[Mário César 825]

and what will be our replacement for possible ziyech and odoi?

zaha?

[ulvhedin 474]

Even if CHO will stay, the bench of Broja, Pulisic, CHO doesn't seem too trustworthy, especially considering the fact that Havertz doesn't look like first XI player

OK, we have an honest disagreement then.

Real Madrid is the eternal Circe, ok.
