Some people assume we will get 30 plus million for Bakayoko....couldn’t see anybody paying anything near that to be honest.

Slavisa Jokanovic says hi....

Could you imagine Jose coming back to Chelsea again and string sacked for a third time!

Wasn’t really offended seeing Eden Hazard kiss the Madrid badge. This is a gimmick all signings have to do, to get the 50.000 fans excited, pretty forced and cringeworthy to be honest. No matter what he does at that club he will always be Chelsea at heart.

I really doubt the mentioned players would bring in high fees. They haven’t exactly justified demanding such a price, maybe with the exception of Zouma.

That’s fair enough mate, thought he had fallen off the radar somewhere. Some noises making the rounds that Alonso is interested in going back to Spain.

I forget we still have Baba Rahman in our books. What’s his form been like out on loan? Could he be a serious replacement for Alonso if he were to leave?

Hate whenever I see agents quotes, but anyway. If he is willing to fight for a first team place here, and the manager wants him, then I’m more than happy to have him around. There’s a good player in there still somewhere.

A CF is a must, and perhaps a LB if Alonso really wants to leave. CB I think we are healthy and stocked with Luiz, Rudiger, Christensen, Zouma and Tomori.

Absolutely gutted to see him go but in a weird way it feels like a weight has been lifted, with all the rumours and speculation. I’m excited to see how we play going forward now knowing we can no longer over rely on Eden. I’m quite optimistic for the future, and am just happy we got to experience Hazard in a Chelsea shirt and feel he gave his best years here. I would wish him luck but I find it very hard to wish luck on a team Cortious plays for.

Really wish he was still here, got such a soft spot for Fab. Also that tweet is superb, will get all the Spud fans extremely salty.

Not quite, I said Zouma, Mount and Abraham were the only loan players I could see in the first team squad next season. As regards to the rest of the loan army, god knows. But in regards to my post and not selling anybody, I meant the current first team squad. Been away from these forums for over 3 years, came back recently and I see you haven’t changed Droy ;)

With this transfer ban nobody other than Hazard (regrettably) would be sold for me. We’re losing Kovacic, and Higuain (no loss on him) loan expires, Cahill is out of contract. Other than Mason Mount, Kurt Zouma and Maybe Tammy Abraham, I can't see any of the loan army still getting a chance. I wouldn’t sell Alonso at all right now.

Plus hoping they would wait patiently for months to play. Maybe Danny Drinkwater could keep them company.

Didn’t Atletico Madrid sign Diego Costa while on a ban? But he couldn’t play until it was over.
