Hey Ed002, long time no speak. Just wondering if there’s any chance you know and can provide an update on who chelsea maybe willing to move on in the summer.
Sorry if I’ve missed it already.
Thanks
Adam.
{Ed002's Note - Don’t forget, Chelsea already has £50M coming in for Morata’s sale in the summer, £12M or so from Pasalic. Plus an additional £9M for Hector, Lamptey and Clinton Mola being sold in January and assorted loan fees totally a little more than £1M.
Kepa Arrizabalaga (G) no decision yet but Chelsea has a list of possible replacements that they are looking at – right now don’t expect him to leave
Jamal Blackman (G) now 26 and wants to be playing will be likely made available after a loan to Bristol Rovers
Willy Caballero (G) out of contract in the summer but will be offered a one year deal.
Tariq Lamptey (RB) gone to Brighton after turning down offers from Lille and PSG
Marcos Alonso (LB) will likely move in the summer
Baba Rahman (LB) will be made available
Davide Zappacosta (LWB) will be available if fully fit
Juan Castillo (LB) Ajax will likely take up their option to buy
Jake Clarke-Salter (CB) club to discuss his future with him - interest remains from Germany and I suspect Championship sides
Marc Guehi (CB) loan to Swansea
Josh Grant (CB/FB) will move to Plymouth
Matt Miazga (CB) will be made available – recovery from injury will need to be checked first
Michael Hector (CB) joined Fulham
N'Golo Kante (DM/CM) there will be interest but could be priced out of a move
Tiemoue Bakayoko (DM/CM) Monaco may take up their option to buy - else available for sale
Mario Pasalic (CM) will join Atalanta in the summer
Danny Drinkwater (CM) Chelsea want him moved on and a loan to Aston Villa gives a short term solution – but he will be gone in the summer
Tariq Uwakwe (CM) Should have got a January loan and the be assessed in the summer – but a year long loan may help him the – Hull are very keen
Danilo Pantic (CM) Fehervar wanted to take up their option and then sell him on – but he returned to Chelsea – expect a sale in the summer
George McEachran (CM) HG status will be secured with 6 more months in England - so a loan to SC Cambuur until the summer
Conor Gallagher (CM) loan to Swansea
Kenedy (LM/LW/LB) Getafe will take up their option in all probability and may sell him on
Marco van Ginkel (CM/AM) Chelsea would like to keep him but a new contract and a slightly complex deal with PSV might be possible
Lewis Baker (CM) FD will not take up their option and Chelsea will look to get what they can for him.
Ross Barkley (CM/AM) has had his head down for a couple of years but has been playing up lately - Chelsea will look to move him on with RLC near fitness (although he may never be able to play a full match or consecutive full matches)
Nathan (LW/AM) contract extension and another year at Atletico Mineiro
Izzy Brown (AM/F) not happening for him - will be available
Victor Moses (RW) available in the summer after a loan to Fenebace and Inter. Inter have an option to buy him.
Pedro (RW)
Willian (RW/LW) Chelsea want him to stay and Willian wants to stay - the offer is a one year deal and then a discussion next year against the desired 2 year deal.
Lucas Piazon (LW) wants to stay in England - probably will be available - no option for Rio Ave
Michy Batshuayi (S) Chelsea have no interest in letting him go in January and will need to talk to him about his future - there is support to keep him at the club
Charley Musonda (S) will likely need to drop down a level or two - available
Ike Ugbo (F) expect another loan
Olivier Giroud (S) has a number of offers but will move in the summer when his contract runs out – Inter want OG or Mertens.

I think outgoings are definitely the more important. I think selling Kante is questionable but the right choice. Think we’d get around 60m for him. He just doesn’t fit this system and we need an out an out DM.
For outgoings mine would be Caballero (Kepa as back up unless we find a buyer? ), Rudiger, Emerson or Alonso, Kante, Barkley, Willian, Pedro, Giroud, Batshuayi
We also need to trim the loan army to players who are not going to make it here need moving on or we can’t find buyers. Pasalic and Hector deals are already agreed. So I’d also try to move on, Blackman, Baba, Miazga, Baker, Van Ginkel, Drinkwater, Bakayoko and Kenedy.

Wow, thanks so much. Appreciate that 👍🏼.

Ed002, possible to ask if Chelsea have a buyback in place for Lamptey?
{Ed002's Note - No they don't.}

Brilliant Ed thank you.
28 Feb 2020 05:52:48

Financially we should be in a very very good position to strengthen.
28 Feb 2020 21:14:04
Thanks Ed. Very interesting.
29 Feb 2020 07:04:05
Did that dude actually just say we should sell kante.

Thanks ED002 v impressive info, much appreciated. Yes that dude did say we should sell Kante which to my mind seems absolutely crazy. rather play the man in his best position again.
