we can replace wickham & sakho with 2 youth team players to give them experience considering the minutes we got from them this season.

If Lampard comes in no way will Cahill Stay

Also Nathan Ferguson can and did play a center back as well as right back at WBA, that's obviously if he ever gets fit

Wasn't it Sarri who froze him out ?

Hennessey
Dann
Wickham
Sakho
McCarthy
Cahill (or keep as player/coach on reduced terms)
Benteke (unless he accepts a much reduced basic with a generous goal/assist bonus structure)
van Aanholt would appear to leaving anyway.

Should cut the wage bill a bit.

Finding a replacement for Benteke, would cost in the region of £25m and similar wages. We have seen him through his injuries and lack of confidence, but now he near his best.
It would be madness to discard him now, so another club gets the benefit. They will pay the wages as Premier goal scorers are as rare a hens teeth, every club is looking for them.
