So... It seems we're done doing business for now. Only around 7-8 hours left to finish up new signings, which makes it highly unlikely, that we'll sign other. Only remaining rumour seems to be Fekir. Could be a brilliant ending to this years summer transfer window.
But what now? Most leagues around Europe are still able to buy players until 1st of september. Obviously the board are looking to offload some of the more irellevant squad players, but that being said - what happens with the likes of RLC, Drinkwater and Tammy Abraham? All homegrown players that, likely, would prefer moves to clubs in England.
I've been looking at possible outgoings (with a subjective touch, of course) that could happen in the upcoming weeks.
First off - the possible loan departures.
Marcin Bulka: We're looking at a huge talent here. Whether he'll go on loan or play for our U23/U21s is hard to tell though.
Kurt Zouma: He was brilliant when he made his first team breakthrough under Mou. A major injury sadly put an end to that. He was decent last year in a very blunt Stoke side. Rumours is that Mou are after him, and that we wan't to loan him as part of the Fekir deal. Something will defo happen with Zouma, perhaps by the end of the day, as he realistically won't be getting any game time.
Kenneth Omeruo: Was are pretty smooth performer at Kasimpasa last season, and will probably be looking at another spell abroad.
Thomas Kalas: Not sure if he's going to get another loan, or if we're looking at a permanent departure for our long servant. Did a great job for Fulham last season thugh.
Michael Hector: Not a lot to say here. Will definately not be a part of the squad for next season.
Ola Aina: Will be going away on loan. Was a starter for Hull all season last year, and rumours of clubs wanting him are many, with PSV an Torino among the lot.
Charly Musonda: Didn't get the playing time he was hoping for at Celtic. Hard to tell what the future holds for this lad. No doubt he has potential. Can't see him as a major impact for us this year, especially after the pre-season perfomances that CHO made.
Lucas Piazon: Has actually been playing quite a lot in pre-season. With the arrival of Kovacic I can't see him getting anything more than a couple of cup games though.
Tiemoue Bakayoko: This one is interesting. Several rumours we're linking him with a move to Sevilla just weeks ago. Now, however, he seems destined for a year abroad in AC Milan. With only a handful of decent games in the blue shirt last season, it could be just what he needs to get back on the level we saw in Monaco. Either that, or he simply isn't better - time will tell.
RLC: It looks like a loan to another english club. No doubt Palace would want him for another year. Had hoped he would have been given time.
Michy Batshuayi: Seems certain that he's going on loan again, with Valencia among a number of clubs that would like to require his services.
Tammy Abraham: The Michy saga will possibly define the outcome of this one. He wants a chance at Chelsea, however, staying would probably make him the third choice.
There's indeed lots of other potential players that could be leaving on loan. Trevoh Chalobah, Jay Dasilva and Kasey Palmer could be some. Furthermore we've already got 10 players away on loan, with Kenedy, Miazga, Baba Rahman and Pasalic as the most prominent names.
Well then. That's it for the possible loan departures... Time to narrow the scope at possible sales.
Danny Drinkwater: This one is tricky. Can't see him having a role at Chelsea, and he has always looked like some sort of panic buy. According to Sky he has got several suiters. Could be away by today.
Davide Zappacosta: Probably won't happen if Aina leaves. Doubt that we're going to count on Moses as a fullback. Both AC and Rüdiger can play the rightback position, but it seems unlikely that they will ever do.
Still, we're left with questionmarks over players like Cahill, Moses and Van Ginkel. I know, MVG is out for like 8 months with an injury. He'll probably just be at Cobham trying to get back. But Moses and Cahill should - IMO - be sold. They're just not good enough anymore. With players like CHO and Ampadu moving quickly through the ranks, their spots are easily dispensable.
What do you guys reckon? Will we get another signing - or are we done?
