Hi ed, do you expect many departures this summer? If so, who may be sold?
{Ed002's Note - There will be folks out of contract and those not of interest for the first team leaving. Romeu, Kakuta, Salah, Marin, Moses, McEacran, Drogba, probably Cech, perhaps Remy aand Devila. Loaned players will be looked at when they return. Others will depend on arrivals.}

We'd be silly to let Remy go. I'd really like to see Bamford or Solanke as 3rd choice though. Hopefully we can sell Mikel and give Ake his place. High hopes for the lad, we just need to put more trust in our youth next year particularly Ake and Loftus-Cheek who are the standouts for me.
{Ed002's Note - You can't have it both ways. You have Bamford as third choice then Remy is gone.}

Wait does that mean Remy and Bamford are only #3 choices?
Poor decision I think, I think remy is good enough for #2.
Remy would be 2nd choice unless we signed another forward

Chelsea are actively seeking a replacement for Drogba who will compete with Costa as number 1 striker but will effectively be 2nd choice. Ed is right in that Remy will be 3rd choice or we give it to Bamford.

Thanks Ed, who would Chelsea be looking at to replace Drogba, is Icardi an option?
{Ed002's Note - Yes - read the posts.}
