GK Courtois, Begovic, Blackman DEF Azpilicueta, Hummels, Zouma, Gaya, Cahill, Christensen, Baba MID Matic, Vidal, Fabregas, Koke, MvG ATT Pedro, Hazard, Willian, Kenedy, RLC ST Costa, Griezman, Traore, Bamford SELL Ivanovic, Oscar, Mikel, Remy Basically 5 players in 4 out. Our defense gets much needed strengthening. I'm assuming Terry will be gone as per what's being reported. Midfield gets additions of Koke and Vidal both of whom are box to box midfielders. Don't know what formation Conte will use but I'm sure it can work. Attack gets Griezman, a very capable backup or partner in case we play two up front. The rest is just loan recalling and filling of spots with people already with us. Most positions have a backup which can step in right away without much loss in talent, which is great for competition. I figure if we got 25mil for Ramires we can get at least 60mil for the combined Oscar, Ivanovic, Mikel and Remy. That could help ease the costs.

Let's not kid ourselves..he couldn't get minutes even on loan. It's one thing to play well for u21..

Risk free signing, worth a shot. Can't do worse than Falcao can he?
