         RLC  Kante  Verratti

We have a lot of work to do in the summer, we must upgrade our sides immediately. 

Thibaut Courtois ( if he wants to leave, let him. If he doesn't, then we should keep him. Maybe this season he hasn't been at his best but we can't forget that we won 2 titles with him ).

Willy Caballero 

Jack Butland ( NEW )

 

Defence:

Azpilicueta 

Antonio Rudiger

Andreas Christensen

Gary Cahill

Kurt Zouma

Ethan Ampadu

Jerome Boateng ( NEW )

 

R/L's:

 Davide Zappacosta

Marcos Alonso

Emerson

Dujon Sterling

Trippier/Bellerin/Sidibe ( NEW )

 

Midfield:

NGolo Kante

Timeuoe Bakayoko

Ruben Loftus-Cheek

Thiago Alcantara/ Marco Veratti/ Pjanic / Christian Eriksen / Fred ( NEW )

Ross Barkley

 

Attack:

Alvaro Morata/Michy Batshuayi

Callum Hodson Odoi

Eden Hazard

Willian

Leon Bailey (NEW )

Marco Reus (NEW )

Mauro Icardi ( NEW )

 

 

Out: Cesc Fabregas, David Luiz, Alvaro Morata, Pedro, Drinkwater (?).

In: Butland, Boateng, Thiago, Fred, Icardi, Bailey, Reus. 

 

---------- Courtois --------

Azpilicueta - Rudiger - Boateng - Alonso

--- Fred - Kante - Thiago ---

Willian --------- Icardi ------- Hazard

 

Can't really say it's possible because I've put a lot of quality names there, but I believe we could get most of them, we're still big club and players will be looking to make things here.

Very few of the [players i'm seeing suggested would have any interest in coming to Chelsea. No CL football probably. Only won 2 knockout games in the CL since 2012.

Liverpool have added to their squad with some fantastic players over the past few years, even though they spent a few years out of the Champions League. Manchester United did the same. Even Arsenal got Aubameyang without the guarantee of being in the Champions League next season! So that bollocks about players not joining because of the lack of CL football is complete and utter bull.

That doesn't mean that we're going to sign any of the above players. Bailey is an option, as as far as I'm aware, he favors a move to us. If we get Jokanovic in as manager, there is a chance that Sessegnon will follow him. But it's all guessing and dreaming at the moment.

Agree, but when they will have the opportunity to win us a title and bring us back to the CL after a year already, why not?

I’m not sure about all suggestions, but with the players I included, Lopes is going nowhere with Lyon and is a class keeper. Fred similarly with Shakhtar, though City were also interested and Mahrez is desperate to leave Leicetser, thought I was quite careful with choices.

GKs: Oblak/Butland/Tibo (only if he signs a deal this summer itself otherwise sell him to whoever will buy him), Caballero, Blackman

CBs: Rudi, Andreas, Azpi, GC, Ampadu, JCS

RWBs: Moses, Zappacosta

LWBs: Palmeiri, Alonso

CMs: Kante, Bakayoko, DD, RLC, Barkley

FWDs: Hazard, Willian, Mahrez, CHO

STs: Giroud, Werner/Belotti, 3rd striker (Tammy?)

Not many ins, but a hell of a lot of outs. Need to clear out the deadwoods - Cesc, Pedro, DL. I wont call morata a deadwood yet, but if we can break even on his transfer, then good riddance. CM is an area which I am very iffy. I would personally trust Baka to come good so I would give him an year more. I feel DD is a very underrated player and can/should be utilised better. Would not mind one bit if Tibo leaves. If we get CL, then we can go big in CM and CB departments, otherwise we can have this squad and play empadus, CHOs, RLCs in the tournament.

Alex Sandro.

Would mean one of Emerson or Marcos leaving. Can't see it myself.

Play Marcos upfront

Can't do worse than Morata.

GK: Courtois RWB: Alonso CBs: Azpilicueta, Christensen, Rudiger RWB: A new wingback CMs: Kante, a new CM LW: Willian LW: Hazard ST: Morata

Only need a new wing back and a central midfielder. I’d give Courtois and Morata one more season.

GK: Courtois, Gunn (HG), Bulka
FB/WB: Felipe Anderson, Zappacosta, Moses (HG), Alonso, Emerson
CB: Azpi, Albiol, Christensen (HG), Zouma, Rudiger, Cahill (HG)
CM: Kante, Jorginho, Drinkwater (HG), Bakayoko, Mount (HG)
AM: Willian, Pedro, Hazard, Felipe Anderson, Hudson-Odoi (HG)
CF: Morata, Giroud, Abraham (HG)

In: Albiol, Gunn, Zouma, Jorginho, Felipe Anderson, Abraham, Mount
Out: Luiz, Caballero, Barkley, Batshuayi, Fabregas, JCS

Edited March 16, 20188 yr by the special one

Depends a lot on who the manager is, as unless conte stays, I don't anyone else will have us playing with wing backs. 

Gk Courtois Cabellero (3rd hg)

DR Azpiliucueta Zappacosta

DL Alonso Emerson

DC Rudiger Christensen Zouma De Vrij Ampadu

MC Kante Savic RLC Fabregas DD

AM Hazard Willian Malcom CHO

ST Werner Morata Giroud 

In De Vrij, Savic, Malcolm, Werner

Out Luiz, Cahill, Moses, Bakayoko, Pedro, Batshuayi. 

Barkley out on loan. 

Edited March 16, 20188 yr by big blue

I cba naming a full squad however we need a new  RWB (Roberto) , CDM (Savic) , CB (Experienced) and Striker (Needs to be ruthless)

- Never been keen on our Cm replacements this season, Bakayoko is a joke, drinkwater is just average and barkley doesnt fit the system. we played much better last season when we had an actual defensive midfielder in CM such as Matic.

- Moses looks poor this season.

- Rudiger is good but we conceded too many goals as of late and that is down to Rudiger and Christiensen. 

- Our Strikers are rubbish, I would keep morata as a super sub (the way juventus and real madrid used him) and buy a proper striker that can play technical football such as dybala.

Forget signing second hand players, even antonio conte said we need world class players such as Mahrez, Alex sandro, dybala etc.

Agreed! Swap Courtois for Oblak too maybe. And keep Conte.

Out : Courtois, Zappacosta, Luiz, Bakayoko(Loan), Pedro, Hazard

In : Horn/Butland/Pope, De Vrij, Vidal, Pulisic, Baily, Batshuayi

 

One really sticky situation is that there are no gettable quality strikers available this summer. We will surely have to trust Batshuayi more than Conte has done.

Yes, this would be ideal. 

I would switch Zouma for Ampadu on second thoughts, don’t think Ampadu needs a loan and Zouma hasn’t been that great this season. Ginkel has been brilliant for PSV, but he doesn’t really suit our current formation, could fit him in though, if Mount heads out on loan again. 

Forget defenders, its new attackers is what we need, some fresh blood. Not enough goals is the reason we are 5th.

Even if Chelsea were in the Champions League next year, Id be very surprised if any of the players mentioned joined Chelsea. Far-fetched choices.
