Was listening to Matt Law on the London is Blue Podcast. Always a good listen.
Can’t recall every name but suggestion is that still 10 players to be moved on and the fact that more than likely that that will be achieved.
Several clubs were in for Broja ( see my earlier post). Jackson’s transfer value is solid as will clubs be looking at him . Put simply there aren’t a lot of decent forwards available.We grave two Jackson and Nunku, well three if you include Broja.
Some interesting thoughts around Sarr going back on loan and far from lack of squad planning it appears that 1) They wanted him at the CWC and couldn’t do it unless he was a Chelsea player2) They are trying to navigate related party issues and the fee , irate is believed, will be acceptable to UEFA but the trajectory of the players improvement suggests in 12 months his worth will be way higher
Law focused on how many clubs still haven’t done any business and in particular Spurs who still hadn’t sold a senior player.
Expect a lot of business still as clubs have kept their powder dry hoping for bargains and now need to force open their wallets

Probably the 10 we have left that were out on loan last season :
Gilchrist ; Chilwell ; Disasi ; Veiga ; Ugochukwu ; Sterling ; Chukwuemeka ; Broja ; Washington ; D.Fofana,
That would still leave 30 in the first team squad (as per club website but with Estevao instead of Guiu, and also includes Mudryk), so we probably need to lose at least 5 of those to fit to what Maresca wants in terms of numbers to coach. I reckon Anselmino and Kellyman (if fit) leave on loan, and Dewsbury-Hall, Jackson and Nkunku leave as sales. Then if we bring anyone else in, it will probably be on a 1 in 1 out basis. e.g. if we sign Simons, then I expect George is off on loan.

Inter have held talks with Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku, L’Équipe notes, but Blues manager Enzo Maresca is not desperate to sell the France international after being impressed by his form in recent months.
Real Madrid want to hijack Barcelona’s move for Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson, according to E-Notícies, amid concerns over whether Endrick and Gonzalo García are ready for significant senior roles

Newcastle United are now thought to consider Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson a “serious target” to boost their depth in the No. 9 role.
The Magpies look set to miss out on RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Šeško, who is edging closer to joining Manchester United instead. The Slovenian has been reported as wanting to sign with the Red Devils in a deal starting at £65 million ($86.6 million), leaving Newcastle to reassess and look elsewhere.
Jackson—who is thought to be viewed by many clubs as a “solid”, if not outstanding, option—had been speculatively linked with Manchester United until Šeško emerged as their priority target, having also briefly considered Ollie Watkins. Newcastle now pick up that baton, according to The Telegraph.
The idea at Newcastle, despite ongoing Liverpool interest in Alexander Isak and the Swedish striker informing the club of his desire to explore a transfer, is for a new recruit—like Jackson—to complement and support Isak, rather than replace him
That was the intention when Hugo Ekitiké—now at Liverpool—was being pursued, and it hasn’t changed. But after missing Newcastle’s pre-season tour of Asia and training alone in Spain, officially under the label of managing injury recovery, Isak has returned to Tyneside only to be forced into isolation on home soil while the ongoing is resolved.

Jackson is thought to be available in what remains of the summer transfer window, having seen his starting place at Chelsea from last season come under serious threat from the recent arrivals of Liam Delap and João Pedro in west London. He is potentially now third choice for boss Enzo Maresca.
Earlier this summer, Chelsea were thought to be valuing Jackson at £80–100 million ($106.6–133.2 million). Realistically, any fee would likely be in similar territory to the £60 million ($79.9 million) deal that took Pedro to Chelsea from Brighton & Hove Albion. Even at the lower price, the Blues stand to make a huge profit on a player signed for little over half that amount only two years ago.
In two seasons as a Chelsea player, Jackson has scored 30 goals in all competitions—24 of which have been in 65 Premier League appearances. He first emerged at Villarreal and a few short months before joining Chelsea was a failed medical away from becoming a Bournemouth player.

Not so sure. Of course it depends what any of those interested clubs offer in terms of contract length and of course what sort of pay off he will get if he agrees to a permanent transfer . Add to that there probably will need to be a one off settlement
We are going to take a hit no matter what and this point in time the numbers could potentially align to make it attractive to him to move on

Not really ... he scored a goal every 4 appearances for us and was an important role model and mentor behind the scenes.
He might be a frustrating player, and not have been great value for the wages, but he is a county mile away from being on our worst signings list.
