Nick: Chelsea have done well to bring in players early in the transfer window but, as usual, have dithered over moving on those who are surplus to requirements. To avoid another 'bomb squad ', we'll end up having to accept below-value fees to move on some players or let them go on loan. This should all have been sorted much earlier in the transfer window.
