Ed002, a few questions if you could please.
1) Are you aware of any loanees who are expected to make up the 1st team squad next season? (Mainly I'd be thinking Pasalic, maybe Solanke and Baker)
2) Will Van Ginkel, Moses, Atsu and Bamford be sold this summer? All 4 careers appear to be stalling with loans and I know PSV and MVG seem keen on a permanent deal for one.
3) Could I ask which CBs Chelsea are looking at? Names like Bonucci and Manolas being banded around.
4) Finally, any truth in some rumours linking us to Pelle and Zaza? Or is it just a case of journalists picking out random Italian players due to Conte?
Thanks in advance.
{Ed002's Note - (1) No, it is too early to say. (2) Moses, Atsu and Bamford will all be available this summer. (3) Bonnuci has been of interest to Chelsea and another EPL side but is happy where he is. Marquinhos and N'koulou have been looked at and Ranocchia has been offered to Chelsea. (4) Both players have clubs interested but not Chelsea at this time.}

God I hope we decline Ranocchia, he is dreadful! Makes Mertesacker look fast!

Can we take from that response Ed that Marco Van Ginkel (unless he agitates for a move) is in the clubs first team plans for next season?
{Ed002's Note - No, you cannot make such assumption.}

I'm only guessing but I think van ginkel will be offered to Ajax as part of a deal to take bazoer.
