With the first part of Chelsea summer revolution completed - the signing of coach Andre Villas-Boas, the second part can commence in earnest - player signing and player retentions and players moved on.
Porto striker Radamel Falcao looks set to be Villa-Boas first arrival - £26m should be enough to secure the 25-year-old on a £5m-a-year,three-year deal.
But the deal to bring Brazilian star Neymer looks to be going the distance.
Super agent Pini Zahavi is in Brazil hoping to tie up the striker but word from South America is that things are not going as smoothly as anticipated bearing in mind the amount of Abramovich cash Zahvi has to play with.
This leaves the future of Drogba and Anelka in the balance. If Neymer becomes a failed deal then both look likely to be retained - otherwise one or both will be allowed to leave SW6.
The sticking point over that is the wages they command and it's unlikely any club could match it.
So Chelsea could easily be left with an excess of strikers warming the bench and undermining "team spirit"
It's hard work this football game, eh?
