That means we\u2019re a selling club this summer, and everyone knows it \u2013 that means we won\u2019t get good value.<\/p>\n<h2>Marc Guiu an unlikely candidate for profit for Chelsea<\/h2>\n<p>They note that Marc Guiu, Nicolas Jackson and Andrey Santos could generate \u201cdecent profits,\u201d mainly because they were all signed for very low fees.<\/p>\n<p>But the likes of Alejandro Garnacho and Romeo Lavia are almost guaranteed to make a loss if sold. That leaves us with a dilemma \u2013 sell these guys and book a loss, or keep players who we know aren\u2019t up to snuff? Our FFP and PSR mess only gets deeper.<\/p>\n<p>Some very tough decisions about who leaves are going to have to be made \u2013 and won\u2019t be popular.<\/p>\n<h2>In other news\u2026<\/h2>\n<p>Joao Pedro spoke a little about why he prefers playing with some managers than other \u2013 he certainly looked better under Liam Rosenior than Enzo Maresca.<\/p>\n<p>Man City are focused on Elliot Anderson, meaning any Enzo Fernandez hopes of moving there to link up with Enzo Maresca are pretty slim.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL CHELSEA NEWS APP FOR ALL THE LATEST UPDATES \u2013 STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE!
