We could improve so much before January by selling players who aren't good enough any more and give it to the younger ones. Last night you could see Cahill and Cescs legs are shot.

Cahill, Cesc, Moses and Drinkwater should be moved on in January. Ampadu should take Cahill's role he's already better and Hudson-Odoi should take over from Moses. Drinkwater doesn't play so doesn't matter. We do need a Cesc replacement though who can cover Jorginho.

But getting rid of Cahill, Cesc, Moses and Drinkwater will help raise funds for others.

Cahil has been a fantastic for our club over many years and if wants to go then that’s ok with me.
I can’t see how Moses fits into a Sarri team. So again, if he goes he goes.
Cesc, I think can play for Sarri and if wants to stay that’s fine with me.
Drinkwater was like a stocking filler player and that’s a shame but again, if he wants to go, then fine with me.
I will start thinking about ins and outs seriously when it gets closer to the next transfer window.
Until then let’s just enjoy our club being the only unbeaten team in all competitions.
Come on my Chelsea!

Cesc has no legs now how can you want him to stay? Drinkwater doesn’t even get in the squad and he’s probs I’m 100k a week?

In short that’s not what I’ve said Frank.

I agree that Cahill, Moses and Drinkwater need to be moved on. I agree with Ampadu and Odoi taking their positions. I think we have enough experience in the team to worry about the trio. Tbh they all want moves but their wages are an issue for potential buyers I suspect.

I think Moses and Drinkwater will not play for the club after the next window.
I think both Cesc will stay until the end of the season and maybe another year because I believe he can play this so called Sarri Ball.
I also think Cahill may well stay for the remainder of the season unless an offer comes in from a club HE wants to play for.

Ed001, what do you think of Callum Wilson as a striker for Chelsea?

{Ed001's Note - good player but his past knee problems would worry me if I was having to pay a big fee.}

01 Nov 2018 12:41:14
Very good player and in my opinion, offers more than Vardy!

01 Nov 2018 13:41:56
So, Ed001, your suggestions in order are as follows:

1) Arnautovic
2) Mitrovic
3) Batshuayi
4) Immobile
5) Fekir
6) Wilson

Am I right?

{Ed001's Note - not really, it depends on so many factors. If Wilson's knee is ok, the price is reasonable and his wage demands are, then I would suggest he is probably the best bet. He is big, strong, very quick and knows the league, plus he is English, so leaves open a non-home-grown slot.

Having said that, when you already own Batshuayi, I really think the club should consider just giving him a run. If he is happy to come back and give his all, rather than look for a move, why is he not getting the chances?}

01 Nov 2018 14:26:45
Ed001? Maybe you know the reason why batshuay was allowed to go on loan? Or he pushed for the move himself?

{Ed001's Note - he wanted regular football and was not guaranteed to get it at Chelsea.}

Thabks for the reply ED, if he had balls to stay he could definatellt made CF spot his, with our other 2 strikers barely scoring.

{Ed001's Note - he comes across as such a nice guy I can't help but hope he is a success with Chelsea.}
