Barnfred 55
Player Valuation: £80m
Looks like Gomes is done. But it depends how long we have to wait for Zouma. If they agree pretty quickly then great. But if it becomes protracted, as I would expect given Chelsea's situation with manager and transfer ban appeal, we need to crack on with other purchases, including a new CB backup in case Zouma never happens.Would make complete sense to try and purchase Gomes and Zouma first.
This would give us the platform to find players which would improve the well balanced side which completed the previous season.
I see it that we are enquiring for different scenarios, with the main one being the continuation with the loaned players. We can add 'new' faces after these are resolved.
