Surely we should be aspiring to be challenging Liverpool on all fronts (Europe included) and not Leicester. Look at Leicester the year after they won the League, where did they finish? They lost Kante, and finished mid table…

The money comes from:

Hazard transfer and wages
Higuain wages
Morata transfer and wages
Luiz transfer and wages
CL income
PL income
Giroud will be off our books
Pedro will be off our books

Pagan, i don’t get this thinking of re-sale value? Some players you have to go all out for.

Are we a small club that buys players just to sell them on for more money? (apart from our loan system lol)

We buy players who will make our team better. Will Koulibaly make our team better, yes. Is he expensive, yes. Is he worth it? Yes.

How much of a statement would CFC make by buying Koulibaly for £80m, than Dunk who would cost probably £50m. On top of the gulf in quality between the 2…

Why are you comparing to Leicester when we should be looking to Liverpool and Man City?

We are a big club with ambitions. Lewis Dunk is a good defender, but we need a world class player. If we want to compete with City and Liverpool we need 2 or 3 world class ready made players. That’s a fact!

Chelseaman – who care’s about re-sale value if he helps us win the league or champions league?

The fact you say Koulibaly will struggle in the premier league means you’ve never seen him play?

You don’t buy world class players with a re-sale value mate. You buy them to help you win trophies.

Koulibaly £80m. He’s 28 and Napoli are struggling. He would surely relish a move to a club challenging for trophies!

Realistically… Sancho please.

Wonder if we’d go for Haaland.

replacements for Pedro and Giroud

I didn’t have a problem with Giroud playing, as long as we adapted to his strengths. I saw that we crossed the ball more when he came off than when he was on the pitch. Also Bats is hugely frustrating. He spends a large amount of time offside. Against City i think he was flagged 6 times from us having the ball in defence…

Again this result strengthens my argument that we need a couple of high calibre players straight in to our first 11 and then a couple of really good players for our squad in order to compete with Liverpool and City

999 i actually disagree. I think frank will buy 1 or 2 ready made players. He is aware of where we need to strengthen.

Frank will use our academy for up coming players, the only 2 british players he’d go for and which we are linked with are Chilwell and Sancho

Blaze yes you are right about 30yr olds, but we don’t have many players at that age around and the next few experienced players are 29, then around 26 so i’d expect the club to keep Willian and let Pedro and Giroud go.

Regarding Koulibaily, while he will be 30 next season, we can still get 3 good years out of him. Maybe with his age we can get him for a cheaper price. Otherwise i can’t think of any outstanding CBs that would be realistic to buy that would be an outstanding player in our first team.

Also i am slightly concerned about Kepa. He is relatively young but he hasn’t really stood out like Cech did in his young days and like Alison and DDG has.

We still need Willian, hopefully he signs a 2 yr extension. He can play as a number 10 as well when needed.

Can’t see Werner going to Bayern as long as Lewandowski is still there firing in goals. While we have Tammy, Werner would see that as a battle he could potentially win.

CM – We definitely need another striker. Tammy sometimes fades in games. City game is a prime example so Lamps took him off and Batman spent his game time frustratingly offside!

As for a left footed winger, i can’t think any decent ones other than Ziyech. On the ball i am not confident with Zouma, and while Napoli might be struggling, you cant pin it down to one player who has been consistent the past 6 years.

I reckon £55m would get Chilwell, might not be easy. Otherwise the only other LB worth getting is Alex Sandro.

As i said many times, if we want to win trophies we need to upgrade on certain players.

In terms of funds:

Chilwell £55m
Koulibaily £75m
M-Savic £80
Sancho £110m
Werner £60m
£380m

£30m Barkley
£5m Pedro
£30m Christensen
£30m Alonso
£95m

Then we have Zappacosta, Van Ginkel and a couple of others we can sell to increase more funds.
plus money from Hazard and unspent money in summer and probably this winter.

Doable but probably won’t get everyone.

Realistically Koulibaily, Chilwell and Werner

Koulibaily (Christensen), Chilwell (Alonso), Milinkovic-Savic (Barkley), Sancho (Pedro) Werner (Giroud).

Those would be my perfect signings and in brackets those they would displace and the club would sell.

Credit to Jose for joining the Sky Sports panel.

Now we will see if he has taken anything from becoming a pundit and looking at his previous failings (mainly player management and updating his own tactics) and being able to have players still on side in 3 years time…

Wonder when Pepe will come good? He looks a quality player, especially from his Lille days. Emery should be improving him…
