I would add Jackson to that and do all that we can to sell.

You have missed off Carney from the list. A player I would personally still be inclined to keep and develop, but the club obviously want him gone.

Anselminio is also asking to go out on loan apparently.

 
Djordje Petrovic? (will be gone soon)
Kepa Arrizabalaga (gone)
Renato Veiga? (would keep - but likely to be sold for decent profit)
Axel Disasi (needs to be sold - not good enough)
Benoît Badiashile? (think he will stay as a left footed CB)
Ben Chilwell ( sold or more likely loaned - with us subsidising his salary)
Caleb Wiley? (loan I guess)
Alfie Gilchrist (think he will be sold - but could be loaned)
Lesley Ugochukwu (not good enough, not needed for depth any longer - sell)
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall? (probably an unpopular opinion, but I would keep him. He can do a job as a utility man in multiple positions, seems like a good guy, and runs his heart out.)
Christopher Nkunku (surprised he has featured so much in the CWC - thought he was out the door already. Lets see - perhaps a surprise)
Mykhaylo Mudryk (banned)
Raheem Sterling (no idea who is going to pick up the tab on this loser - a transfer for a nominal fee, or a loan with us paying most of his salary)
João Félix (one of my fav's - but cant see a way he stays - Can benfica afford?)
Amando Broja (lower EPL/champ/european move)
David Datro Fofana (lower english or european move - france, greece, holland?)

Chukky (think he will be gone permenently. a shame)

Jackson (dont care what happens to him - as long as it is not at this club. A waste of space)

Fofana/Tosin/Trev (not sure which - but dont think all of these will be in the frame...and therefore, 1 likely to go.)

 
Sturge, Matos, Castledine, Washington and Jimmy-Jay Morgan to add to the list.

Plus loans for Amougou, Kellyman (if fit), Paez and Tyrique George.

Petrovic, Nkunku, and Madueke are the only 3 I can see us selling for a decent fee. I would add Jackson too, but I don't think we will sell this season.

Chukwuemeka I would like to keep, but I think they will try and sell. I'm not sure we can make any money on him though, so maybe they will try another loan.

If we're depserate, I expect Chalobah to be at risk of being put on the transfer list again.

Disasi, I can see us taking a loss on, and Badiashile will either stay or also be sold at a loss. I just don't see who would be stupid enough to pay what we paid for them. Dewbury-Hall, I can't see anybody paying what we paid for him, so wouldn't be surprised if he is kept around as a fringe player. Ugochukwu (jesus, the amount of money wasted on these players) another one we probably won't be able to make money on, so it's probably another loan.

Felix is tough to move on biggest of how much we paid for him. He's open to leaving, but if we can't get the money back, then how is that good for us?

Chilwell and Sterling are on high wages, so they are difficult to move on. Saudi could bail us out on Sterling, but I'm not seeing any rumours or anything. I think Chilwell feels he has a lot more to give at this level of the game still, but he's going to have to take a big paycut.

Veiga, likely to be sold.

D.D Fofana, Washington, Wiley, Kellyman, Broja, Slonina, Guiu etc....who knows? probably a mix of loans and letting go for a small transfer fee.

Penders is the only one I expect to be loaned out with the idea of bringing him back to eventually become our number 1.

Saudi seems the only way Sterling leaves, but why would he? He's got a 5 and 7 year old child, why would he uproot their lives for a few years when he's already making the money he is in London. I think we're stuck with him until the end of his contract.

 
I think the only way we'll be able to bin off Sterling is if we either loan him out or if we can find an agreement on severing his contract and pay him off.

We should but i doubt the owners will be happy to do that.

Am I imagining things or does Badiashile magically get injured every time the transfer window opens. He is out injured again.

Personally think he should have been sold 2yrs ago.

Should never have been signed in the first place.

 
Also seem to remember the name Dujuan Richards another young forward that we signed some time ago, is he still with us?

 
All of these players have been devalued by ourselves either by our treatment of them or just their sheer volume.

This is why none of these deals are happening now, wait for the last week of the window…. Fire sale.

It really is a mess of their own making.

a fire sale is the best case scenario

The worst case is if we don't do a fire sale

That's a lot of money going out each week for nothing really.

 
Out for a while last season with an ACL injury. Just another in a line of pointless signings by the club. We paid £17m for him, and you would think there would be a solid developmental plan not just stockpile.

I've literally never heard of him

I know of Kellyman and Mheuka but not him

I thought the idea was to develop players. Instead we are selling players not long after we've bought them, some without even getting a chance to prove themselves

We make pennies and lose pounds, the list of nobodies signed and for big fees is endless.

Don’t tell me there ain’t some sort of agent kickback going on.
