Can anybody explain how Chelsea can sign players outside the window?

But in reality we will still need to address PSR/FFP play rules in the summer. Especially if we plan to sign Asensio and Rashford.

Also, nobody is saying that he's "not up to it". Simply that if an opportunity for a longer-term striker appears, this summer or next would be the obvious time to sell when there would be good value in selling.Andy Cole was still perfectly decent when Man Utd sold him as a 29 year old and he scored another 60 odd Premier League goals after he left. But getting £8m for him and bringing in Van Nistelrooy the same summer was clearly the right thing to do.

Jonathan David, on a free, could be the wild card that unlocks everything.
