For me I think: Zakaria Loan End Felix Loan End Kante. Contract End Ziyech. £6m on the accounts so anymore than that is profit RLC. Sell for £15-25m all profit Broja. Sell for £20-30m all profit CHO Sell for £20-30m all profit...

For what it’s worth I think it’s almost certain the spending will slow down now and we’ll sell a few players in the summer. We have done major surgery on the squad and we should just see more normal windows going forward. We have the squad, owners, new management structure in place so attention...

True but I think to make money back they need to increase the revenue the club makes and they do that by making us successful on the pitch, improving our commercial and stadium revenue and then riding the PL gravy train. No reason why all PL clubs won’t double in value of ten years regardless

Sterling £47.5m Koulibaly £33m Cucurella £55m Slonina £13m Carney £15m Hutchinson £Unknown That’s a huge window already and we’re still looking at £70m+ for Fofana. We know the actual cash isn’t an issue with the investment from the takeover but I’d be interested to see how close it’s going to...

We really need to shift some midfielders if we’re signing De Jong. We have Kovacic, Kante, Jorginho, RLC, Mount, Gallagher, Barkley, Carney, Gilmour and Hutchinson now. We have a massively bloated squad in general so we really need to start shipping players out.

I think that’s next season’s priority. We’ve got Kovacic, Jorginho, Kante, Gallagher, RLC, Mount, Barkley and Gilmour all for those places at the moment

Could still go either way yet but Koulibaly and Sterling are excellent signings. We’ve also just picked up an 18yo goalkeeper in Slonina who could replace Kepa or even Mendy in time. Cuceralla and another CB/Forward onto that would be a 9/10 window. Gallagher and Broja back into the team, and...

Cesar Azpilicueta, we Chelsea fans have called him Dave since he joined

I reckon we’re in a four way fight for two of the top four places, not that we have certainty to get it. Once Todd sinks his teeth into the club and sorts out key positions I think we’ll kick on the season after. There has just been too much turmoil to catch the top two this year

I’m really enjoying watching woman's football and seeing how it’s improving. It’s a different product to the mens game but it’s a great spectacle and it’s only getting stronger. The WSL has been a huge hit on Sky and the growth seems to be rapid. I really hope as a father to a young daughter it...

Even if all we do now is bring in one quality CB and let the want aways go (Bar Dave) I’d be happy. Sterling to replace Ziyech is an upgrade Broja to replace Lukaku is neither here nor there given Lukaku flopping Koulibaly for Rudiger is pretty even Gallagher coming into this side is a big...

Window could have gone a lot smoother so far but we’ve bagged Sterling and Koulibaly in amongst all the chaos at the club. Boehly couldn’t legislate for Barca going absolutely mental and without that we’d also have Kounde and Raphina and be pretty much done once Azpi and Alonso were sorted...

I used a tax calculator online with the Italian tax codes loaded in so the £230k seems correct based on €6m net. Without digging more into Italian income tax I can’t say for sure. Also his Napoli wages are speculation to start with I guess. If it’s right we’re paying between £260-320k a week...

This is my gripe, I might be wrong but I think the net/gross is being used wrong in a few places. 6 million net is nearly 12 million gross in Italy or £230k a week! Are Napoli paying anyone £230k a week? If we’ve truly stumped up £33m and then £320k a week instead of giving Rudiger £230k a week...

He was on around £150k at Napoli from what I can see and he’s now on £162-183k at Chelsea
