This is from April...

Conclusion
Chelsea’s loss was again enormous, though it was significantly impacted by large once-off charges. However, it would have been even higher without considerable player sales.

It is likely that player trading will continue to be a very important part of Chelsea’s business model for the foreseeable future, partly because their squad is now ridiculously bloated, but also because it is their best chance of complying with FFP regulations (especially if they fail to qualify for the Champions League).

It would therefore be no surprise if many players leave this summer, including the likes of Conor Gallagher, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Trevor Chalaboah, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Hakim Ziyech, Levi Colwill, and potentially even Christian Pulisic and Mason Mount.

The above is exactly what they've done, and generated a load of money doing it.
Which in terms of ****housery they have sold a lot of ok to good players and replaced them with bang average players.

Pointless.

Id be absolutely fuming if I was a Chelsea fan and they let Colwill go. Aside from when they had to due to the transfer ban no one from their academy can establish a place in the 1st team despite turning out a load of quality players. Then they just go and jizz hundreds of millions on average footballers. I'm very happy we seem to be trying to give some of our kids a chance. Miley looks to have a good shot at being an important player for us one day.

I think miley is ready now tbh but for me I wouldn't change the team from last season yet... looks like a liability so far.

Willock will hopefully be back soon.

Tobido and Zanilio links circulating the last day or so.

To be honest, I'm half resigned to us not getting anyone else in this window now.

We don't need squad fillers, as we have plenty. So any signings now should only be for first team starters. And we can't seem to get the right players we want on the current budget available, due to FFP restrictions. Clubs either want too much or the players want higher salaries than we can offer.

Selling the likes of Darlow for under 1/2 a million doesn't exactly help us a lot. Yeah it's one off the wage bill, but nowt in terms of generating revenue for transfer kitty.

I'm not I think they'll sign more 1st team players mate. Plenty of time.

Selling players so must be replacing them.

I hope so, I'm just not setting my expectations too high.


Let's face it left back wouldn't be hard to strengthen and I think cb is much the same... I think people crave big fees and fancy names, but any half decent left back and cb would be great tbh.
