PREFERRED 23/24 STARTING XI

I asked at the end of the survey for people to give what their preferred starting XI under Poch with transfers would look like to start next season and while the more honest answers such as, "Good players", "No" and "Fuck off" made me laugh, but this is the most popular response from those who did seriously answer:

(4-2-3-1): Kepa; James, Fofana, Colwill, Chilwell; Enzo, Rice; Mudryk, Mount, Nkunku; Osimhen

There were other popular shouts for Ugarte, Maignan, Emi Martinez, Caicedo, Lavia, Ivan Toney, and Harry Kane.

Receiving other votes were: Onana, Slonina, Kone, Kolo Muani, Sadio Mane, Højlund, Lautaro, Mehdi Taremi and Vlahovic. I respect the one mad lad who said Tammy Abraham up top.

There were also popular shouts for Kante to start next to Enzo, Havertz to start as no.10, Sterling starting at LW or RW and either Havertz, Lukaku or Broja starting up top (Lukaku's name was mentioned WAY more than I was expecting). One person used a 3-4-3 and put Nkunku in a pivot with Enzo. Idk, I won't judge.

Anyway, these are the final results. Discuss amongst yourself. The season is over now. I need to go touch grass.

As mentioned Poch is in as the new manager. Hoping to see a bit less variation in the squad game to game with a firm identity.

It is already mentioned that Auba (shocking) and Joao are on their way out.

Mount is being rumored gone, but time will tell.

Dave has likely played his last game for Chelsea and certainly with Silva's age, he might be depth or gone as well. 

RLC is likely to AC Milan.

Captain America to Juventus gaining steam.

Zakaria will no be extended and is heading back to Juve.

The first push from Poch is Manuel Ugarte an Uruguayan defensive midfield with PSG also interested.

Nkunku is on his way to the squad.

Poch's preferred formation is a 4-2-3-1 although he played more 4-3-3 at PSG.

Here is a nice article on his style of play and our roster - https://theathletic.com/4448874/2023/05/01/chelsea-pochettino-players-lukaku/

I don't have the bandwidth to try and figure out who is going where. I'm pretty sure they have like 80 guys on the payroll right now. Just let me know who the 23 is come August (and please fucking sell Pulisic).

The good news is that they'll be hard pressed to suck as much as they did last season.

Koulibaly. Eh.

If Mendy leaves - do you just roll with Kepa and hope he maintains his form? 

Slonina isn't close to being ready for primetime but maybe he's close to good enough to be the alternate.

Kepa to start.

Inter and Onana seem a long shot secondary to price.

Maignan is the current name per Matt Law.

Here is a nice article on Jackson.

Fun story regarding one of our academy studs, Livramento, we sold to Southampton.

Quote

It is not set to be an easy transaction, with Chelsea, his previous club, owed a hefty sell-on fee in any deal — meaning Southampton require a large sum to ensure a sizeable profit for themselves. Brighton & Hove Albion also retain an interest. These are the ins and outs of the potential move.

Southampton’s relegation means interest in their players is now high — including the likes of midfielders James Ward-Prowse and Romeo Lavia — but they are charging a premium for them as they look to return to the Premier League at the first attempt.

Livramento is still getting back up to speed after more than a year out with that initial ACL injury and subsequent hamstring issues that further delayed his comeback. Still only 20, the focus had been to get a defender with 25 England age-group caps playing regularly for the first team again having been appreciative of the work done by Southampton’s medical staff in getting him back on the pitch.

Sporting director Dan Ashworth had been keen to sign Livramento while he was in the same job at Brighton — who are interested in the player again now.

Livramento’s ceiling is seen as extremely high — a player who can both contribute to his new club immediately and still develop in the future. The stumbling block, though, is the fee…

Right, so how does this sell-on fee work?

It is understood Chelsea’s sell-on clause relates to any profit made by Southampton from selling Livramento. They paid £4million for him — effectively making that amount exempt from the clause. Chelsea’s profit-share then exists on a sliding scale — the higher the total price, the larger slice of it they receive. Correspondingly, Southampton get a smaller percentage if they agree a bigger fee.

For example, should the agreed package be £30million ($38.2m), Southampton would keep around 60 per cent of that (about £18m) — but if it rose to £50m, they would make roughly £28m (in the region of 56 per cent).

What fees have been discussed so far?

Southampton are looking to make at least £25million-£30million from any deal, which values the total package at close to £50m. It is understood that when Newcastle enquired about Livramento’s availability, that was the amount they were quoted, with Southampton mindful of his form pre-injury.

Newcastle are not willing to spend that much on a non-priority position, especially given the €70m (£60m; $76.6m) they are about to spend on AC Milan and Italy midfielder Sandro Tonali. However, they did submit a counter-offer of around £23m — just under half of Southampton’s asking price. The Championship club would receive roughly £15m if they accepted that bid.

It is understood the clubs are still some way off an agreement, though there is optimism a deal can be reached. Newcastle are considering improving their offer, though they will not exceed a total outlay of £30million.

What about Chelsea’s buy-back?

Chelsea are still admirers of their former youth player and it is understood their buy-back clause kicks in for the first time this summer. That number is believed to be around £50million — but due to the sell-on clause, they would only end up needing to pay around £35million-£38million to get Livramento back.
