This is a list of our potential squad as it stands (including some younger players or squad players).
GOALKEEPERS
Courtois
Caballero
(Bulka / Thompson/Collins)
CENTRAL DEFENDERS
Christensen
Rudiger
Zouma
Cahill
Ampadu
Luiz
Kalas
(Tomori / Hector)
FULL BACKS
Azpilicueta
Zapacosta
Moses
Aina
Emerson
Alonso
MIDFIELD
Jorginho
Drinkwater
Loftus-Cheek
Fabregas
Kante
Barkley
Bakayoko
(Pasalic / Scott / Palmer / Musonda)
WIDE FORWARDS
Pedro
Hazard
Willian
Hudson-Odoi
(Piazon)
STRIKERS
Abraham
Morata
Batshuayi
Giroud
We're definitely going to lose at least one if not two important players but as long as we replace them with quality, the squad looks much better than most people think. We could definitely do with a proper left back and a top striker and we should trim some of the squad players. With just a couple of quality signings I can see us challenging although maybe not winning the league.

From looking at that potential squad it lacks quality.
Apart from Courtois, Azpi, Jorginho, Kante and Hazard the rest are average at best. And two of those are possibly leaving.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Willian and Christensen aren’t average.
Form Pedro, Fabregas and Morata aren’t either

In fact Rudiger is quite good as well.

Pedro best years are past him.
Willian is so inconsistent.
Fabregas is definitely past it, he offers nothing.
Rudiger is a disaster waiting to happen.
Christensen makes a huge mistake per game.

Being past it doesn’t mean someone is average at best. Pedro can be a great option when used properly. Willian is hardly an average footballer, not even going to argue that one as it’s ridiculous. Cesc is past his best yes but again that doesn’t mean he’s rubbish, look how good he was under Conte in 16/17 when used correctly. Rudiger is a disaster waiting to happen? What does that even mean? He’s average based on something that hasn’t happened? Christensen again is hardly average, for 22 years old he’s been brilliant. Sounds like you’re using the Barca match as your sole barometer of his ability, again ridiculous as he was fantastic for us for at least half of last season and when he lost form was when the whole team started losing form and dropped from 2nd to 5th.

Barcelona in Champions League and then against City and United afterwards. It was very public and he talked about asking JT's advice. I'll find a link.

Christensen is the most overrated player in our team IMO.
He's good, but that's it. Nowhere near as good as Dave, Luiz or even Cahill in his day.
I'd go as far as saying as Brilliant as Hazard is, he doesn't score enough goals for me..

Hazard is very unselfish in front of goal which probably explains his lack of goals.
I think currently this is the worst squad we've had under the Roman era - the team lacks leaders and genuine quality

AC impressed me when he broke into the side...after many were saying how good he was...he's still young and has a bit to learn, but did drop off the cliff a bit towards the seasan end
