Give timeOscar, Pedro, Baba Rahman, Matt Miazga, Juan Cuadrado, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Alexandre Pato.
We needs a striker to keep Costa on his toes as in give him competition if not better more than willing and capable. A creative box to box midfielder more or less game changer and possibly two defenders (left back and central). As a whole the more competition for places the better to keep everyone on their toes and most important give more opportunities to the youths out on loan to prove themselves.
Discard Cahill and we will have trouble when the injury spree strikes. He arguably considered a consistent performer
(only when he tags with someone that is above his standard). Hate to admit that, but you remove an experience defender like that is going to cause the same problem like how Terry's contract are still pending for renew.
For me, I'd go for this;
KeepThibaut Courtois, Asmir Begovic, Cesar Azpilicueta, John Terry, Branislav Ivanovic, Kurt Zouma, Cesc Fabregas, Nemanja Matic,
John Obi Mikel, Eden Hazard, Willian, Bertrand Traore, Kenedy,
Diego Costa, Pedro, Matt Miazga, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Alexandre Pato
DiscardMarco Amelia, Loic Remy, Radamel Falcao, Papy Djilobodji, Oscar, Baba, Cuadrado, Salah.
Those that I discarded, is either they are not good enough or they are not interested in playing for Chelsea anymore since their loan. I guess there's no point in persuading them to stay with us since their heart is no longer with us. Highlighted in bold are having rumors to leave Chelsea and I honestly wouldn't stop them from leaving since they have plans on leaving. Why want to force stay when they have no interest in playing for us anymore?
I do think it is time to let few of our youngsters to play since they have shown significant contributions throughout the struggle that we are currently facing. RLC and Kennedy is going great and Traore starts to score goals. If we limit their appearance, they would be the next to force an exit like Lukkaku and KDB.
