Right guys, hopefully we are all feeling optimistic about the upcoming season. I am quite content with our squad with the addition of Jorginho.

Hopefully, barring the Courtois exit and replacement there shouldn't be anymore exits. Maybe 1 or 2 more players, however I would rather avoid squad fillers unless they are bought to be the 11. If no more is bought then that is fine. We still got a brilliant core, champions year before last.

Anyway i'm not too sure on Vecino or Mattia Caldara, Ed1 what are you views on these two if you have watched them?

{Ed001's Note - I haven't seen enough of either to judge them sorry.}

Ed001 is there interest in Kante, especially from PSG, and could you see Chelsea agreeing to a sale?

{Ed001's Note - there is interest but he is happy to stay and Chelsea are not looking to sell.}

I'm very happy with our squad to be honest mate. The Courtois situation needs resolving and obviously I hope we hold on to Hazard and Kante and I think we will. I would like to see a young RW come in (Bailey seems to be everyone's choice) but wouldn't moan with Pulisic coming in to replace Willian who I suspect will be off to United. My biggest concern is at left back, do Alonso or Emerson have what it takes to deliver consistently at LB? I have my doubts.

Completely agree, I think we have a very large squad filled with great players and a great selection of youth players. Under Sarri and Zola we could really progress. That being said the three areas highlighted could do with upgrading if we are to challenge. Left back, right wing and a striker. Ideally we'd be getting Alba, Cavani and Bailey but I can't see the club signing anyone of that quality without the allure of champions league football. Hard to tell who we are after with the rumour mill in full swing. Any updates from the Ed's would be a great help!
