I've seen most people on here comment that the club should sell CHO. If he really wants out, then I get the sentiment. No point in keeping someone that desperately wants to be somewhere else.
However, it's already 27 January. There's no time to replace him, and 40 million in today's market isn't enough to replace the talent we'd be losing. Average players cost 40 million these days.
So I'd say we shouldn't sell him until the summer at least. If we lose him now and only have Eden, Willian and Pedro for the rest of the season then we're in trouble. Big time. And Callum needs to understand that as well. Selling him now puts us in lots of problems, there's no point in doing so.
If we keep playing him in EL and cup matches until the summer, then I'm sure his price will not go down. On the contrary, more teams could become interested and his price would go up. A sale should be out of the question this month. Reassess in the summer after having given him significant minutes during the 2nd half of the season.
Willian's been bang average for a while now. Let's grow some balls and play the younger kid. He'll make more mistakes perhaps, but he'll also make more good things happen for us.
Well, that's my view at least.

100% Jackson. Willian has shown nothing for a while and still gets chances over CHO. Very frustrating.

im not sure wed be in trouble jackson considering the little game time he's got as it is. the further we go in tournaments the less likely hel play as u saw the other night v spurs the bigger the game the less likely sarri will put trust in a kid. if he wants to go then its the club an sarris decision to make a decision im sure sarri doesn't want an unhappy player in his group and im sure the board will feel 40 million is a massive amount of money for a kid whos not proven he basically has payed the pulisic transfer and right now wel be getting a far more accomplished player in pulisic.

CHO: I would guess that if he plays today, he stays.

i very much doutb that mdw. why would u hand in a transfer request if your going to stay? plus y should he even be in the match day squad never mind the line up if he wants to leave.

MandS, but it isn't up to CHO whether he plays today or leaves - he is under contract for the next 18 months. The point I'm making is that if Chelsea pick him to play today, then Chelsea are not going to sell this window.

u may be right mdw but if i was sarri i wouldn't have him near the team if he's handed in a transfer request his mind is made up.

The temptation to have him just cleaning the toilets for the next 18 months without ever seeing a football is overwhelming.
