Chelsea have been forbidden from signing any new players for the next two transfer windows after breaching regulations surrounding the signing of under-18 players.The Premier League side have confirmed they will appeal the decision.The news has naturally been met with fears by supporters, but for some fans, its a glass-half-full situation.As a number of talkSPORT callers pointed out, Chelsea have plenty of talented players in their squad whose play time is limited, plus they boast a further 41 currently out on loan.Among that number are January signing Christian Pulisic, strikers Alvaro Morata, Michy Batshuayi and Tammy Abraham, midfielders Tiemoue Bakayokoand Mason Mount plus many more.

So, some will say its not all doom and gloom at Stamford Bridge although talkSPORT pundit Perry Groves disagrees with that claim strongly.Speaking to Jim White on Friday, the ex-Arsenal man said: For Chelsea to stay in the top four, theyve got to get quality players in and that will not happen now.They cant buy new players, theyre not going to get a new manager and they have a manager most fans dont want.Tottenham have not signed anyone for two transfer windows, but they had better young players. Of the 41 players out on loan, how many of them are good enough for Chelseas first team?I think this is the end of Chelsea as a top-four force.Chelsea have no culture of promoting young players in their team, so are you telling me there is going to be a complete change, a complete turnaround in their club culture?Are you telling me as well that Chelsea fans are going to be patient over the next two seasons? Thats not going to happen, theyre used to winning trophies!I think, this season and going forward, Chelsea are done as a top-four force.
