Bit of fun 3 signings you would love to see here next season? Mine are:

Verratti - Don't need to say anymore, him and Kanye would boss that midfield even with the lack of height. If we're going for a more attack minded player then I'd aim for Dybala but I'd like to see Conte go 3-5-2.

Ghoulam - Fantastic player and hugely underrated. He's similar to Alonso in a lot of ways but he has the main thing which Alonso lacks the most which is pace.

Butland - I've got a funny feeling Courtois will leave I just don't think he's proper Chels. And if Madrid's interest is serious then I think he'll go. I really like Jack Butland depending on whether he comes back from his injury ok he's going to be a top class goalkeeper.

Then just rotate more and give the youth a go. Ake, Christensen, Chalobah, Baker and Loftus-Cheek should all be getting a lot more gametime. We definitely need to recall Christensen and Baker. Two players with fantastic potential.

It's really hard to pick as I guess it depends on outgoings. If Costa leaves then definitely Dybala. If Courtois leaves then I'd go for Donnarumma. If neither leave I truly think we'd only need 1 big signing and I'd go for Verratti. With potentially a young winger like MBappe or Pulisic and a backup RB. And a replacement for Begovic.

Squad:
Gk: Courtois, New Backup
RWB: Moses, New Backup, Azpi
LWB: Alonso, Ake, Kenedy
CB: Luiz, Zouma, Azpi, Christensen, Ake
CM: Kante, Verratti, Chalobah, Matic/ Fabregas and one of Baker/ RLC/ Pasalic
Wingers: Hazard, Pedro, Willian, Pulisic/ MBappe/ Etc
Strikers: Costa, Batshuayi, Abraham?

Definitely verratti but not goulham and butland
Although I know we do need a backup gk cos begovic will most likely leave butland is too good to be backup I'd say someone like Gordon. And I know you said he could replace courtois if he leaves but although he's better than a backup I don't think he's anywhere near as good as thibaut. But to be fair if he left it would've very hard to find someone as good as him
My signings would be
Verratti, (back up lb and rb), Gordon.

Gk:
Courtois, Donnaruma, Eduardo
Defenders
Alonso, de Sciglio,
Luiz, Christensen
Moses, Willian (think he'd do better there), Dave too of course.
Cm:
Kante, Cesc, matic, Chalobadh and Baker, RLC
AM:
Hazard, Pedro, Lacazette, Sanchez/ Dybala/ Greizmann/ Icardi (not fond of Icardi but he's good I can't doubt that),
Forwards:
Costa? Bats and Abrahams
That's my two cents.
