Trev/Josh being our RCB options going into next season (Fofana can play his customary 5 games before he’s out for the year) is genuinely solid. Give us Huijsen as a LCB, Reece as RB & Cucu as LB and we’re golden.

I'd like to see

Acheampong - Chalobah - Huijsen - Colwill

Plenty of height and ball-playing ability in that back line.

Petrovic behind them as the best of our GK options.

Caicedo and Andrey Santos screening in front of them.

Palmer (RW), Estevao Willian (10), Tyrique George (LW) and a new striker (Sesko or Delap) to bang in most of the goals. Carney as the rotating #10 to Willian. Sancho and Neto as the squad wingers, and Guiu and Jackson as the additional striker options.

I have praise Chalobah many times but fit Fofana is easily better than Chalobah

Fofana gets better the more he doesn’t play. He’s like some mythical creature that will save the club whenever he’s fit. Realistically he’s a pretty average CB that we paid massively over the odds for and is never fit.

It's funny because all the players you mentioned bar the strikers are already Chelsea players. Most were signed by these sporting directors according to the very model they set (young players with bags of potential). Yet, despite that, you can bet that most of the players you named won't be in the squad next season, and we'll spend all summer running around signing players with the exact same profile to replace the ones we'll ship out.

At the moment trev is 3rd or 4th choice - in line with his ability. Personally I would keep him as I think he is a better back up option than the likes of Tosin or Disasi - both better and more versatile.

But in truth - I think the club will want to earn some pure profit, and the player will want more than a back up utility role. So probably in the the grand scheme a win win for all.

3rd or 4th choice and yet gets picked to start in our last 5 PL games ... the only ever-present defender in those 5 games btw.

He's a lot better than you are trying to make out.

He is behind Fofana and Colwill. So that’s at least 3rd choice. The fact he was loaned out suggests he is also behind at least 1 other from the rest….

I am not doing his a disservice. I like Trev and would keep him around - but he isn’t going to be first choice.

He's on par with Guehi who every club is desperate to sign.

RLC and Gilmour are better than KDH.

Livramento is better than Gusto.

Hall is better than Cucurella.

The list goes on.

I am not arguing that he isn’t a good player or has not had a decent season. I am arguing that he is lower down the pecking order, particularly given the current way we play, and will likely continue to be. Even more so if we buy the latest shiny toy flavoring the month CB.

Fofana when fit is our best. Colwill on the left is first choice. The rest are battling out for squad places - and I see trev losing that battle.

Losing to who?

To anyone one else we recruit or anyone else in the squad - selling him for pure profit, when he has had a decent season and pushed up his value, will be a no brainer to the management given the depth of cover we already (which is likely to be added to).

I think we sell Disaster and Trev. Loan Anselmino (is that his name?) And keep Tosin, baddy, Josh, +1 new signing.

We have signed Tosin,badi, disasi, anse. None of them are better than Chalobah. Unless we are planning to sign a top cb,Chalobah will be better than whoever we sign

I'm not a huge fan of Trevor. He has a few games where he looks decent, then he'll drop some clangers. But that being said, I'd rather keep him and Disasi or Badiasielle.

If I'm being honest I thought he looked dodgy on the ball and made a few mistakes but was solid on the actual defending side of things.

He's a very good squad player, I wouldn't sell personally mainly cause I don't trust the board to sign a better defender. We got Tosin on a free and I still think we got robbed.

I didn’t say better - I said down the pecking order. I stand by that. Trev is not first or second choice, and given we are looking at new signings, it suggests we are looking to improve/add quality. He is currently 3rd or 4th choice. He is only likely to slip further down the pecking order - and when given the competition for places, I think he will be sold for pure profit. It doesn’t feel compelling to keep a player - who has already been loaned out this season - simply for depth, when others can fill that role.

Gut feeling is we sell him and Sarr takes his place.

We probably will sell Chalobah, is it because of football reason?

Nope, Chalobah is a starter for both poch n Maresca. He will be sold because he is the easiest to move. It is the same reason why we tried to sell Madueke last summer.

Is he the easiest to move though? If it was easy he would have left for a permanent deal last summer. I think Disasi will be the easiest to move on.

I think it is for football reasons.

He is a good player. Decent squad/cover option for us. But not good enough to lead and start.

Same can be said of all our defenders…. Sell the lot!

In terms of transfer fee needed to profit and his wages he is the easiest to sell.

Lost count the amount of interceptions and tackles he did today, great game from him. I feel he compliments Colwill’s weaknesses very well, potentially a very good partnership in the making.

Of all our current CBs, he’s easily second choice, perhaps even first, evident with the partnership he is building with Levi.

Would sell all the others before Trev, but we know that won’t happen. Hope he stays though - he has all the attributes of a top premier league CB.

He usually struggles against Liverpool, but he was really good today.

Called up for England

Well done Trev
