Just thought it would be an easy quick reference. Romano's "here we go" or "contract signed" is pretty much confirmed enough in my view. When I get some more time I'll go back in and add in the sale amounts so we can keep a total. Kante Havertz Kovacic Ziyech Koulibaly RLC Mendy Unfortunately I can't edit the first post in this thread anymore but I would now add 8: Mount Total funds raised will be comfortably over Euro 150 m. I dont know about the wage savings but of course they will be substantial. Of the, in my opinion, confirmed list Kante, Havertz, Mount, Kovacic, and more or less Koulibaly were starters and Ziyech got numerous minutes.Kante, Havertz, Mount and Kovacic were key players in Tuchel and Lampards top 4 seasons.
June 29, 20233 yr Author Really to add to the list even though it ocurred earlier Jorginho should be added in. Rarely can a top team have seen so much change in a season.

Apparently he failed the PSG medical in January and went for further tests that saw PSG decided to go ahead with the doomed loan attempt. Will see what comes tomorrow is the Saudi side are willing to go ahead with him or withdraw. I guess Lukaku can have someone to train with if we cannot shift Ziyech.

Can't see any of the highlighted above being with us next season. Imagine sales for the lads 24+ and loans for the rest. CHO, Ampadu, Pulisic sales from the younger lot.
June 30, 20233 yr Even if there were a crumb of any truth in this, can somebody please explain to me what the "huge twist" is. These cretins get paid for this sh*t, its riduclous, an entire industry built upon complete and utter bollox https://www.teamtalk.com/chelsea/huge-new-twist-chelsea-exodus-expensive-boehly-signing-offered-bayern-tuchel-reunion

I think it will probably depend on what midfielders we bring in during the window. Right now we look light on options because we have just offloaded most of our regular midfield starters. If we bring in a couple of new, first choice midfielders e.g. Caicedo, Vaiga, then it may limit the opportunities for Casadei next season. I reckon he will get 1 more season on loan, although if that is the case I would love to see him get a chance with a Premier League team this time.

June 30, 20233 yr Azpi 😞, Mount and Pulisic next to go then right? Still no hope of Lukaku or Auba leaving? Not heard a single thing on Auba thinking about it….. Also we seem stuck with Hakim for the next two years. Ffs also really hope Todd and co are working on midfield replacements right now. Edit: CHO too? His time must be up surely, but on massive wages. Unlikely to shift him. Edited June 30, 20233 yr by SimonH
July 6, 20233 yr Azpi gone 😢 Now down to Lukaku, Auba, Pulisic, CHO and Ziyech (somehow) to move on. really starting to wonder who will be left now, need to starting getting some players in. Really f**king good ones.
