I have a feeling that Pedro, Giroud and maybe Alonso will leave this window, subject to our ban will being lifted.
I also think Willian will eventually sign a new contract despite Matt Law referring to the negotiations as “bizzareâ€
I don’t think we will rush to replace Giroud if he goes in January but we would need a left back (please Chilwell) and maybe another wide player. I’m not a big fan of Sancho, so I hope we look elsewhere.

I think your right Tom. Lampard has hardly utilised Pedro, Giroud and he seems to have found alternative ways to get around not playing Alonso. So I would be surprised if they remained at the club post January. I doubt a Giroud replacement is necessary unless we get someone on loan as a short term cover.
Willian is an interesting one, I would prefer that he signs a new contract and stays. We need senior players and to his credit he has been pretty good and deserves his place in the lineup on merit.
I am hopeful the ban is lifted
and we are active in January but how likely is it that Leicester parts way with Chilwell? He would be great for us but I think summer is more realistic unless you know something I don't. If Chilwell is not up for sale then I doubt we will buy a left back should the ban be removed in January. I believe his the top target for Chelsea.
I would take Sancho who seems to be up for sale in January. Given his age and the fact that he has enormous potential could be great for us. Should that fail then I can see the club go for Zaha.
My ideal January scenario;
Chilwell
Sancho.

I’d love Chilwell in January but really cannot see Leicester selling with their season going so well.
Ziyech is my choice for RW, desperate to see a left footer to give us a new dimension.
