Chelsea banter 27580

Now that the ban has been officially lifted here are the changes I'd like to see between now and the start of next season.

Goalkeepers - no changes required, unless Caballero moves on when we'll need experienced cover behind Kepa. Maybe Ben Foster if Watford get relegated.

Center Backs - I like our CB group. Rudiger, Tomori, Zouma, Christensen, Ampadu and Guehi. We're pretty loaded, no need for changes.

Right Backs - James is the future, but Azpilicueta is excellent, and experienced, cover. If the later is happy with that role then no changes needed here.

Left Backs - Neither Alonso or Emerson are good enough, Chilwell is first choice as a new signing but would be difficult. Digne might be a good alternative. Maatsen should also be integrated.

Center Midfield - Kante, Kovacic, Jorginho, Mount, Loftus-Cheek, Gilmour and Barkley. We're loaded here and still have Gallagher to come in, Barkley can leave with no need for a new signing.

Right Wing - Pedro can't cope with the EPL pace for more than 25mins. Willian has been good this season, but the time has come to move on and look forward. Sancho would be amazing, would be a bidding war; but we should have the money.

Left Wing - Pulisic and Hudson-Odoi are both excellent and young. Both can play either side too.

Striker - Abraham is locked into the 9 shirt at the moment, and hopefully for a long time to come. Batshuayi offers a different alternative, but we could find better, maybe Lautaro Martinez from Inter. As a backup option to replace Giroud? I think we'll end up signing Fedor Chalev.
