Christensen: I have to be one of the players with the most games. Otherwise I won't reach anything.
Chelsea believe that I can play a very important role, I would obviously like to continue.
The key bit.
As was the case with Courtois (prioritised over Cech), Conte will probably be forced/have no choice but to establish Christensen in lineup or potentially lose one of the best young defenders in Europe.
True. I have feeling Conte doesn't trust young players in the defence, prefers experienced players. I am sure Christensen knows that he has to impress in pre-season, so he has to make the most of it
Regardless of pre-season would be downright careless to lose him, after building the reputation he has over the years (akin to Courtois) performing exceptionally well against the biggies. For the present and future should definitely be in the team over Cahill.
Would save us a small fortune having to bring in another defender. Not entirely sure who he would displace in our title winning back three though.
At a rough guess I would say Cahill Superb!
Common sense tells us is that he will replace Cahill. though has a good second half last season. Conte seems to rely on him, also he is the captain.
I don't see it being Luiz and Dave is probably the most consistent defender in the league!
We certainly need a bigger squad for next season. Conte will have to rotate players in order to compete on all fronts. I am sure he will be give plenty of game time. Christensen has a lot of experience in playing in Europe too .

Well he has been playing in the Bundesliga for the last two seasons!
I mean in the European competitions i.e. in the CL . I know he has been playing in Bundesliga
I know what you meant - just being my usual sarcastic self!!

Yeah good point, there will have to be considerably more rotation next season than this one in which case Christensen should get games.
David Luiz, Gary Cahill, Cesar, Zouma and Ake. I think we are fully stocked at CB especially with Christensen. Azipi is amazing, like god level and Zouma is the rising star both must stay. We need cover for Moses and Alonso more than a CB. Azipi can do a job but aside from him we don't have anyone decent to cover Alonso or Moses.
Ake is going to be a very good player if he isn't already but I don't rate Zouma. Think we'd be better off moving him on.

Sterling for Moses and Castillo for Alonso!
Sterling looks a real talent.
If he's going to replace anyone in the back 3 I would expect it to be Azpilicuetta, with Azpilicuetta moving forward to the Right wing back position.

That would be an absolute waste and V poor decision IMO!
Been a rock in the back three and not a natural wing back - why would anyone possible go with that, except in an emergency?
You would weaken one of the strongest links of the back three and not improve the WB situation!

I want to like Zouma...I really do
I want to like everyone Sheriff!
Well apart from the Liverpool board obviously!
Unfortunately Zouma is not suitable to play with three at the back. In those sub appearances he's had to come on, Conte switched to back four.
