The ban is only on signing players
They can sell as many or as little as they like
They can’t replace Hazard and if the sell Zouma they can’t replace him if they feel they have to

Their best centre half.
Sorry. Didn’t realise I needed to clarify that it was my opinion. Just like you didn’t when you said he’d be Chelsea’s best centre back - by a distance.
What else did you think ?
Its my opinion fwiw.

His recovery pace made a big difference last season, as did his natural aggression.
I'd like to bring him in permanently, but at the same time, there are plenty of other quality centre-backs out there if Chelsea play hardball.
Also, I think a lot of us are still suspicious of the club when it comes to transfers, and want this sorted early in case it drags and ends up becoming an excuse not to buy a centre-back. Arteta money and all that.

I think nothing will move for awhile. Lampard will be new boss and he will be looking at all players.
Correct.
What its about mate.

They also have David Luis plus Azpilcueta frequency fills in as a centre back too, especially if they decide to play a back 3. In addition to the young Ampadu, Chelsea also have two very highly regarded centre backs in Fikayo Tomori and Jake Clarke-Salter, who will form the backbone of England U21s at this summers euros.Tomori was actually on loan at Derby last season so Lampard will know him very well if he does take over the reins at Chelsea.
The other issue is Zouma himself. He will be looking for assurances that he will get regular game time, otherwise he will be pushing for a move. It will probably need to wait until their manager situation is sorted before there is any movement, but at this stage I wouldn't rule out us getting him. We just need to be patient.
The risk with that of course is that we may miss out in suitable alternatives in the meantime, but I guess that is what brands is being paid for.

That lad from Dortmund in January will be hazards replacement. That’s why they didn’t mind loaning him back for the rest of the season

I'd like him to be signed permanently because he's a decent CB, a good foil for our other 2 main CBs, and we know he fits in well with the squad and the system. Having said that, if he doesn't sign I wouldn't be too disappointed as there are plenty of young CBs around who could come in and do as good a job, if not better, given time.

I’m just going to leave this one and check back in August. Can’t be bothered with transfers that drag on anymore.
More important than Gomes in my eyes. I still have doubts individually, but you dont play in centre defence on your own and it's all about partnerships. Keane and Zouma proved they're very good together but it may be out of our hands.
If we don’t sign him, we have Keane & Mina.
If we don’t sign Gomes with have Tom Davies.
