First team squad outgoings?

[Spiller86]

i'd have a mass clearcut and start again, Cahill, Kenedy, Cesc, Barkley, Giroud, Pedro, raise funds and start the rebuild, Morata could go, if Hazard goes swap for Bale or Ascensio+cash   

..............................................................courtois..........................................

 Dave...........................................Christensen.............................Rudiger

Moses?.....................................Kante................................Emerson

...........................................RLC...................................................

....................Bale..............Lewandowski...................Hazard?/

Use Young recalled loanies, if haz goes that Watford player Richarlison, Morata funds for lewa?, maybe keep gird as backup, but would like to see a more compact nippier striker...

Not sure there will be a mass clearout. Certainly not of players we bought in January like Giroud and Barkley.

I think we'll see some of the more valuable loan players sold, plus a couple of first teamers like Drinkwater who haven't had a lot of games. 

The rest will depend on the style Sarri wants to play.

Thought i would bump this since we haven't managed to move anyone yet. 

Quick round up of the rumoured departures:

Courtois - Madrid 

Zappacosta - inter

Zouma - anywhere but chelsea since he hasn't gone in tour.

Cahill - United

bakayoko - Seville (please God yes)

fabregas - lazio

drinkwater - West ham

pedro- lazio

hazard - Madrid (please God no)

Willian - barca 

morata - Milan

Batshuayi - napoli 

Considering we have already spent £60m on Jorginho, and we are linked with spending another £110m on bringing in Rugani, Golovin, and Higuian, you would expect quite few of these players to go, so we can balance the books, and make space in the squad.

We also have the goalkeeper issue to sort out.

Happy for the following to go....Zouma, Drinkwater, Courtois, Kenedy, Cahill, Zappacosta...

Happy for the following to go....Zouma, Drinkwater, Courtois, Kenedy, Cahill, Zappacosta...

Happy for Courtois to go despite his WC performance? Id only be happy to go for a incredible fee and if we make a damn good replacement.

Rest however I can agree with

My daughter is going to be heartbroken. I've been brainwashing her Chelsea by telling her Zouma plays for Chelsea. She's been asking me when he's coming back. Bad news... Such a shame. I feel like he was playing the best of the defenders at the time of his injury.

 

[Spiller86]

Disappointing in my view. Zouma could have been anything and still might. His ability to distribute from the back is questionable but then again so was Koulibaly's before Sarri moved to Napoli. To see him not go on pre-season is frustrating.

I'm worried we're building a team of Arsenal style soft centre backs who are decent passers but can't handle the tough stuff. Kurt would have given us more robustness. If we sign Rugani and Cahill leaves, I fear for us.

With the board calling the majority of the shots, Zouma has to have some fans with the shot callers, or he wouldn't have gotten a 6 year deal... right? This may have been the plan all along. A torn ACL is typically an 18 month recovery to full speed. So this will be two full seasons out on loan where he should get at least 60 EPL starts. I just don't think he's going to be sold... or at least hope...

Chelsea is run by a bunch of frauds. Hazard is close to Real and you can bet your house we will replace him with an absolute average fraud. Willian and Pedro 2 bang sh*t players will end up staying while our best player will go. Wouldn't be surprised if selling Hazard would be to cover Rugani, Higuain and Golovin all who are not worthly enough to even wear this shirt. Jorginho was a fluke and we all know it. Another pathetic season incoming.

I'm not a troll just butthurt on the Hazard rumours. You know very well the money won't be invested back.

When has Chelsea ever not put the money back into the club? You know very well the money will be invested back.... now, how well the money will be invested back is certainly up for debate.

In the last 2 season we've been spending only based on our outgoings, if anything Hazard's departure will probably cover the costs for Jorginho, Higuain and Rugani and another jack of all trades, master at none player to replace Hazard while Marina will call this a success.

So your first post on this forum is calling our club embarrassing, run by frauds, criticizing our big transfer so far calling him a fluke, then going on to call two other current players sh*t?

Yeah you sound like a Chelsea supporter

There seems to be a load of new posters that have signed up in the last week, just to complain about everything. 

School holidays has definately started by the looks of it.

Personally I’d wait with Zouma. Still young - and oh my, how I loved him at Chelsea before his injury. It’s hard to tell weither he’ll ever be the same or not - but I’d definately give him the chance - even if it would cost him another year on loan. I’d love to see both Tammy Abraham and Zouma at a club like Fulham or Palace for a year on loan. This way they could stay in London - close to the club, and play for teams, that have been playing some good football lately.

If we do lose Courtois - which we probably will... The most recent rumours are about Schmeichel, Hart, Pickford, Butland and Donnarumma. Schmeichel could be a straight swap with Danny Drinkwater perhaps - which could be profitable for us. However, I really hope that it’ll end up with either Donnarumma or maybe even Oblak. One has huge potential, while the roger was perhaps the bedt keeper in the world last season.

In terms of our our defensive outgoings, I hope to see Cahill leave the club. Sure, Cahill is our captain and he may be vital for some of our younger players, bur he’s just not good enough. Too many simpel mistakes. He’s also getting old - and if we could get anywhere between 5-10M, I think we should sell - even to Manchester United.

Thomas Kalas enjoyed a great spell with Fulham last year - and will realisticly not be getting playing time here. He could make us something like 10-15M. He seems destined to leave as well.

I hope we keep Luiz. He seems extremely important for the stadig and players, and on form, there aren’t many better. His blunders and playing style is just too risky to start the major games. But maybe Sarri will know how to use him.

IMO Zappacosta should go. There’s no two ways about it. But then again... Rumour has it that he and Morata are best pals. A sale could influence Morata badly - and I genuinly hope we give him another chance. I don’t want to sell Batsman or Giroud either. Giroud is extremely dangerous in the area, not to mention a great build up station.

Batsman has got so much potential - and I’m afraid he could end up being another KDB or Lukaku.

I love Willian - but if Barcelona or Man Utd are prepared to pay something like 50-60M for him, I do believe we should sell.

Our other winger, Pedro, however, is someone that I’d happily let go for around 10-15M. I’m just afraid that the club isn’t going to sell him.

Moses... Well, if Willian and/or Pedro gers sold, he might be the only real right winger in the club. Plus he could be a backup for Dave at RB. I’d keep him.

I don’t think we should sell Cesc unless someone turns up with a bid of at least 20-30M. He’s getting older and slower - yeah, but he has got so much routine. A manager like Sarri could be just perfect for Cesc.

Same goes for Bakayoko. A lot of people doubt him - and with a fair enough reason. He wasn’t good last season. But! He did show some of his potential at times - and I really wonder if the knee injury plus the high expectations affected him last year. A new coach as well as about a year of getting used to the culture could be good for him. I’d wait and see. Don’t forget that Baka was brilliant for Monaco while playing under Jardim, in a three-man midfield, that played attacking football.

At last... Haz. I really don’t hope he’s leaving. When I watched him on his debut I instantly fell in love with Chelsea again. He brought something new - and something different. Now he’s the leader of the team - and for that reason, I hope he’s not going. Sadly, it looks like we might say goodbye to him - and hello to around 150M instead. I know what I’d prefer any day of the week.
