Chelsea have an eye-watering 43 players out on loan spread far and wide across the English leagues and abroad.
Most are young players sent out to hone the skills in the hope that some may develop into stars of the future.
This is not always successful, though, as they have a habit of letting some slipping through the net. Think of Kevin De Bruyne who has gone on to be one of the best players in the Premier League.
They even have a third Hazard brother on their books who is currently plying his trade in Belgium.
The Blues may need to dip into their extensive back up cast with an impending transfer ban for the next two windows.
One player who has shined this season is Reece James at Wigan Athletic as he was named in the Championship team of the year this week.
