It’s not an exact science. Just for comparison, in the 18/19 summer window Arsenal got five senior signings done by 11th July. Chelsea hadn’t made one until 14th July, and didn’t get Kepa and Kovacic sorted until the 9th August.

Have to be honest, apart from his debut goal Cedric has looked pretty crap so far, certainly not a replacement for Bellerin, he's a poor to average backup at best imho, hope he proves me wrong next season but I can't see it.

Chelsea have the best negotiators in the league.

Liverpool do.

Chelsea signed Kepa for £72m.

And nobody would be surprised to see them somehow manage to sell him at a profit too.

I imagine thats impossible

But I expect he will be on loan for a couple of years and then we will make a decent chunk of the fee back

2 years of loan fees + maybe like 40m back for him

Well..we wait and see what Arsenal will do. If we go into the season without plugging the obvious gaps, we will be screwed yet again!
