Who, out on loan, do you see coming into the team next season?

For me, it would Tammy, RLC, and Zouma as the three that should be added to the squad. I know I've heard a lot of supports make the case for van Ginkel and Pasalic as well. It would be interesting to see them get an opportunity but I don't know who ready they are for English football. Another player, especially if giving an opportunity in his natural position would be Kenedy, I think he could be decent attacking depth.

I'm curious everyone's thoughts regarding this. If we can get a couple players to come back from loan and contribute to the squad, it could make the transfer market a little easier to go after a bigger name, maybe 2.

Abraham hasn't done anywhere near enough to get into next season's squad. I would take Morata, Giroud and Batshuayi over him every single time. Abraham will need another loan.

I don't think Zouma has done enough at Stoke either. If he wasn't already our player, would you be saying we should go out and sign him? I don't think anybody would be impressed if we signed Zouma from relegation battling Stoke.

Loftus-Cheek i could see returning, he's done ok at Crystal Palace and would have a ton of assists to his name if they could actually finish the chances he creates for them. I would pick Loftus-Cheek over Bakayoko every single time.

I completely spaced, somehow, on Giroud and Bats, so another loan spell for Tammy does make sense. Zouma is one of those players for me that I think he would be a solid back up for us. Don't see him taking a starting spot from AC, Azpi or Rudi obviously. I've like Zouma from day one and think he has a ton of upside and his knee injury was awful.

This summer is going to interesting. There are so many questions to be answered and the window is shorter so hopefully Chelsea get it figured out quickly!

Lets say we dont sign anyone next season cos even if we do i cant predict who? Then inwould like to see this squad list.

GK

courtois

willy

DEF

Azpi

zappa

sterling

ampadu

luiz

christensen

rudiger

emerson

alonso

MID

kante

loftus cheek

van ginkel

fabregas

drinkwater

ATT

hazard

willian

pedro

hudson odoi

giroud

morata

on loan

zouma to a stronger team

bakayoko to try and gain some confidence

barkley to get first team football and fitness

abraham another chance on loan

blackman another loan

batahuayi a season out on loan

this is all based on no signings coming in next season, im sure van ginkel and loftus cheek would of done more than barkley and bakayoko this season?

abraham aint getting nowhere near a starting place at the moment with giroud morata even batshuayi potentially being the real deal.

zouma deserves a go at a stronger competing team to see what hes made of.

blackman had a pretty solid season at sheff utd be interesting to see how he comes on.

I’d have Kenedy as Pedro’s replacement. He’s been quality at Newcastle.

Bearing in mind we're most likely going to have a new manager with new ideas we need to give him lots of options up front, then loan out the rejects in January.

To be in the squad (to challenge and put pressure on):
Batshuayi (Morata)
Kenedy (Pedro/Alonso)
Loftus-Cheek (Bakayoko/Cesc/Barkley)
van Ginkel (Bakayoko/Cesc/Barkley)
Zouma (Cahill/Luiz)

Quality youngsters who could be included but should go on loan because let's be honest there's no pressure to play them:
Ampadu
Charly Musonda
Hudson-Odoi
Abraham (Big stretch)

Between Bats, Morata and Giroud who doesnt make the bench every week or when one of them is in form? 

If Conte stays Bats is 100% gone and Tammy can come in to be 3rd.

There's no reason to loan Ampadu. He's coming off a serious injury and as we've seen, capable of playing at a high level already. 

CHO could probably use a season of regular football at a high level even though I would personally love to see him playing for us next season especially if we're playing Europa League. 

Strong rumours of Pasalic going to atlanta for around 15m and Kenneth Omeruo leaving for leganes or another spanish club.

Seem to be working hard this window to sell off deadwood players and I am happy to see that!

Most likely due to the new Fifa rules regarding loaned players as we'll only be allowed to loan out a maximum of 8 players (non hg above 18 I believe)

I think Atalanta have a buy option anyway but I wouldn't go as far to say Pasalic is deadwood personally. Scores goals, assists and helped Atalanta to an impressive 3rd this year. With possibly no Kovacic and RLC not fit for the start of the season he could make left centre mid his own if given a chance.

Atalanta is a stepping stone to bigger things for him imho, if he kicks on from his "breakout season" it wouldn't surprise me if he's at Real Madrid in a few years.

Omeruo I agree with.

They do, as do most our loanees i think. 

I wouldnt say Pasalic is complete deadwood, but I highly doubt he'll be making our starting XI anytime soon. Hes probably one of our better players thats out on loan atm, but hes still below par if you ask me. 

Laughable if you think he'll actually be at Real Madrid in a few years though, because they don't even have space for Kovacic atm, let alone him.

Pasalic has had an impossibly hard time getting a work permit.  I think he likely would have stuck around 2 years ago if they had been able to get one, he wasn't loaned out until August.  Apparently the restrictions are no longer in place now that caused the permit issues, so perhaps he could stay - though I doubt he would want to.

You couldn't have a more ridiculous, less informed opinion if you put two organ grinder monkeys in the studio with that board.

I mean, what rock has Burley been under?  Did he see a second of the games Morata & Bakayoko played for us?  Sheesh...….

The sad part is people will watch that and think he's clever.

+ didn't both AM & Morata want a permanent deal done this summer? The crazy thing is the fact that Burnley didn't know that Tomori was the Derby Player of the Year. Wasn't Zouma voted the Everton Player of the Year? No mention of Moses either. Dude is making beer money that is all he is doing here.

Edited June 26, 20197 yr by robdog

I hope that dude is right.  If there is one thing that will get me excited about the season, it's a 3 headed striker monster of Giroud, Morata and Batshuayi.  The last thing I want to happen is to have some hope in a young striker.  Better to stick with guys we know aren't worth a sh*t.

 

God, if Morata comes back I'll shoot myself.

I think Digne was Everton's player of the year, but I know Zouma did really well, and they want him permanently.

Clearly, Burley doesn't rate EFL performances over Spanish leagues.   Morata's critical comments regarding his Chelsea experience were widely reported.  How do work in the media and not know that?

Was Burley the one who sat in on the NBC Sports game where Kepa made a terrific save and he went on and on about using his wrong hand? 

That was awful...

Seeing people get credibility because of a job title led me to say "just because someone has a job, doesn't mean he's the most qualified for it"

Craig Burley hates football, he`s a sour faced f**kwit with no understanding of the game at all.

OK. He was the worst I've ever heard for NBC Sports. Just embarrassing.
