Alonso leaving, Higuain going back to Juventus, Sarri leaving, Hudson-Odoi signing long-term....all falling into place

Ideally Willian departs as well.

If you forget the fact hazards leaving, we've got a transfer ban and the fact RLC and CHO have long term ish injuries I'd agree with you

Hudson-Odoi is on course to be back for pre-season allegedly.
Mount returning can fill the Loftus-Cheek shaped void in the meantime.

Kovacic may be signed permanently.

Huge boost if CHO could make the pre season I think in hazards absence he'll make a huge impact on the left

Jay Dasilva, Juan Castillo are both capable.

Aina whilst being predominantly a RB has apparently been deployed equally successfully on the Left by Torino.

We should have sold him for big money after Conte’s first season. Still even with transfer ban it makes sense to sell. Out of our ‘expendable’ first teamers he can still fetch a high price. By most reports he is also our 4th highest paid player after his new contract in October. I definitely wouldn’t mind putting trust in Emerson and Dasilva. I think Aina will develop better at Torino.

Aina, I wouldn't have thought he'd go on loan to Torino again. If he stays there it will be if they exercise their option to buy him and he wants to go.

Unless we give him some assurance of being, at the least, able to compete for a place, there's not really much incentive for him to stay, bearing in mind he'll be 23 at the front end of next season.

If we don't intend to use him we should let him go to find a stable home.

Brummie I wouldn’t mind selling him with a buy back clause in fact I think it’s best option for all involved

To be honest BK, I'd rather just sell full stop if we can't be bothered doing the leg work with the young players. Doesn't seem right that we can discard them so easily but try and cover all the bases in getting them back after another team's done all the hard work getting them to a certain standard!
