Exactly. And yes it seems that we do, Ive never been a fan of this insane loan system where we buy and immediately loan out 35-40 players a season, so im glad thats coming to a stop. I Imagine that if we cant sell these players, a lot of them are going to end up being released as they just wont have space in our club

Im sure we can afford that 40m without having to sell CHO for it though.. infact, we can easily make 40m just from selling a few of our players currently who are out on loan like Bakayoko and Baba just to name 2.. Not to mention players currently in our squad like Drinkwater, Cesc, Willian/Pedro (one of them), Moses, Zappa, Piazon... We can easily make 40m from selling a few of those

Bayern bidding 30m for Hudson Odoi we'd be stupid to be even thinking about letting him go

Disgusting the amount of hate I see towards the board and Pulisic atm. Before this season, Pulisic was one of dortmund's best players and played terrificly, he may have slightly dipped in form just this season, but for christs sakes hes only just turned 20... he has a very high ceiling, its just a case of whether he'll hit those lofty expectations. Even if he doesn't live upto the hype, the commercial value of him alone is VERY high, especially as football is growing in America and he's definitely going to grow our US fanbase. and 58m for a 20 year old who's highly touted is actually a bargain in todays stupid market. I mean for the love of god we paid 35m for Drinkwater and 40m for Bakayoko (who tbf is redeeming himself at AC currently) but come on, 58m for a winger who we've been asking to sign for a long long time to replace Willian/Pedro and we're actually complaining? Can't wait for him to join us next season and tear up the league with Hazard on the opposite wing! Now if only we address a few more areas and we have a REALLY good squad on our hands

Well he hasnt signed a new contract and apparently it seems as if hes not interested in signing one either.. There's a slim chance we can get him

Being drawn against Burton would be ideal

Sign Martial and Icardi and we'll be sorted

Martial rumours spicing up again.. Im hoping we can go for a cheeky bid in Jan while Utd are in the middle of turmoil

A shame, but not the worst thing in the world. Recall Zouma back first and foremost

Icardi seems one of the few proven (kind of) players that can hack it and seems to be somewhat free to move to another club

What about emerson?

anyone else really happy about the loan system changes the FA are bringing in? We can finally get rid of these dead wood players that'll never play for us, and only loan out players who actually have a chance in the future of getting into the first team! Not to mention we wont be sending out stupid amounts of players (almost 40 this season?) out on these pointless loans

Definitely has the potential in a few years... Also crazy to think that Hazard would be one of the oldest players there

Jesus christ, the championship is a cake walk for him, he's just scored his 4th goal this game.. No idea why he wasnt given another premier league loan

you people just read some stats and automatically assume its the next best thing.. These young hyped up players rarely ever live to their potential, I'd rather we sign someone a few years older who's actually much more proven instead of looking at another Belotti

seems silly of us to be guilty of this after the whole kakuta situation a few years back..

Actually bakayoko was thought to be Milan's MoTM

Hope we do sign him, he seems excellent for his age and only will improve from here.

Probably my top 3 or top 2 favourite chelsea players of all time. An absolute legend, if only we still had a prime Drogba as our main striker

Rumours of Rugani and his girlfriend learning english..... Sign?

I agree, its a real chance for some players who don't get as much game time to really show what they can do.
