@Vialli98 What are your thoughts on some of the loan army getting a chance with the transfer ban in place?
Kenedy, Mount, Musonda, Batshuyai, Abraham, etc - any of these worth keeping around or do you see the club sending them out again/selling them?
I'll go through them one by one.
Kenedy has no chance. He's bang average. He could be a decent squad player, but we could easily flip him for a decent profit, so he should be sold.
Mount is a wonderful talent and, especially in light of RLC's long-term injury, should be kept and pushed straight into the first team.
Musonda has just recently come back from a long-term injury of his own. He'll probably go on loan again to get his match sharpness back.
We have to bring one of Batshuayi or Abraham back. It doesn't look like the club will extend Higuain's loan, so we'll just be left with Giroud. One of them can rotate with Giroud for the #1 spot.
I think the biggest source of excitement for Chelsea fans is definitely Reece James - he is genuinely exceptional and will rival Alexander-Arnold in the England team in no time, if we handle him right. If it was up to me, I'd bring him straight into the first team and sit Azpilicueta on the bench next season.
(If you want to have snoop at what Wigan fans think of him after just 1 season on loan there - his first ever season at pro level -

Beyond that, we also have more senior guys like Zouma, Van Ginkel etc. So I think we'll be ok to challenge for top 4 again, with or without Sarri.
EDIT: If we bring in Lampard, all of the above will be sure to receive a fair chance to show what they can do.
