Interest in hudson odoi again from bayern what's your thoughts guys would you sell? Ed il ask but i am aware of the answer would chelsea be open to selling odoi? if the price was right and he wanted to go which i assume he would now been down the pecking order with ziyech pulisic and mount all ahead of him and werner also able to play out wide.
{Ed002's Note - Chelsea are typically not a club who would refuse the desire of a player to leave if an acceptable offer were made and if a replacement were to be available.}

Depends the sort of money we were offered. And what replacements are available, does he want to leave too,

I personally think he isn't going anywhere and he will be a big part of our season. But I could see a guy like RLC depart, perhaps in January if he doesn't perform.
Is there any talks regarding Loftus-Cheek at the moment Ed002?

Bayern weren't willing to pay what we wanted for him before he singed a new contract. If a deal is struck now, would it be for more than they offered before? He's had a troubled few months, with injuries and his arrest, plus there just seems to be an issue between him and the club.
But he'd certainly need replacing, as we're short of natural wingers. I think this will be a deal for January, if at all.

I’m tempted to say that I don’t think CHO has been treated fairly by Lamps but I haven’t seen him train and I have no idea how the coaches view his fitness.
I think there were questions raised about his advisors when it looked like he might be going to BM before he signed a new contract. Recent events may also mean he is keeping poor company or he might just have a poor attitude.
Any of these things could be true but it could just be that he is struggling to get over his bad injury and the coaches are looking after his best interests.
Anyway, I think he need to play very well when he gets the chance of he is going to a bench warmer even though this going to be an strange season.
Every player has to perform or lose their place in the team. We now have a deep enough squad to make sure this is the case for everyone.
RLC also needs game time but let’s judge him when he is playing in his best position but last nights performance was disappointing even in the strange position he was asked to play.

We're idiots if we lose Callum. There's a reason Bayern want him, and it's because he'll become one of the top wingers in world football. If Lampard never starts him though then we'll never see that ability. Frustrating situation, and I hope Lampard gives him a fair chance.

CHO has to stay. There are no ifs or buts with this one. This man is hungry and he will get a lot of game time .

Just saying: If there’s any chance that Hudson Odoi goes for someone like Jadon Sancho, I wouldn’t think twice (selling him), otherwise he stays.

Ed002, do we have a list of players that if CHO leaves we will look to replace. Also would we consider a deal so late in the window or will this fizz away to comeback at a later date . winter window maybe
Appreciate your input ed
Cheers.
{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any approach for Hudson-Odoi at this time.}

Surely we would only CHO if we were replacing him with Jaden Sancho.

With the fixtures to be played this season and the timing (shortened) every player in the squad will get game time and starts this season. It will be up to the individual whether they take those chances or not, if they do they will secure their spot in our squad, if they don't they will move on at season end. That is how professional sport works. So, with CHO (and every other player tbh) the ball is entirely in their court. No gimmies at this level, you got to work for it (whilst being obscenely paid I might add)

Absolutely Pete.
Plenty of game time for all the players this season.
