Going off the consistent rumours so far this summer would you be happy with the below.
----------------- Courtois------------------------
---------Azpilicueta-Luiz- Van Dijk-----------
Moses --------------------------- Sandro
----------- Kante- Bakayokoa-------------------
Pedro ------------------------------- Hazard
------------------ Lukaku--------------------------
Looking at that team, it strikes me as the sort of team conte would love, strong, athletic and plenty of room to be coached and improved. And in general all the right sort of age to grow together as a team. With plenty of quality and experience in the squad such as Cahill, fabregas and Willian if needed and some exciting youngsters.
Next season's line up

Yeah lets leave our captain Gary Cahill out of the starting line-up and then expect us to win Premiership next season without any fuss.Great strategy according to some fans on here.

Will Fabregas be happy to have the same numbers of starts next season? not so sure....
----------------------------------------------------------------------
By being in the CL, hopefully we will be playing a lot more games so Fabregas should get more game time. One of Fabs criticisms is that he fades are half a season, which I guess is through fatigue, so this should suit him more.
I've just read on the rumour mill that we are looking to sell Ake to Bournemouth. I hope this is not the case.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well if we sign Sandro, VD and Bonnucci it does seem inevitable we would sell Ake

Yep, but my point is why buy those players when we have a great potential in Ake? Bonucci is 30, Ake is 22. Only one of them is going to improve and Ake has a good eye for goal, so is a Moses cover/replacement for me.
Who is VD going to replace? Apzi? Luiz? Cahill? Where does that leave Christensen?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well Cahill should be looking over his shoulder for sure..............Christensen can challenge Luiz
As for Ake...i am a big fan, but it is just not viable in the PL to play a back 3 that contains with two short a sssses like Azpi and Ake..............
Shame, but that is the reality
