Chelsea thread 2018/19

[Vialli98]

Chelsea are playing some nice attacking football but they are very open at the back. Southampton missed a couple of real sitters as did liverpool. Hazard is a man on a mission a the moment, playing some incredible stuff.

I'm fairly confident we'll iron out the problems at the back. We are far less open at the back now compared to at the start of the season, so its safe to say we will continue to.improve in that aspect.

Hazard will go to Real and join Courtois. His comments are bullshit. Just leave. Doesn't make anyone a bad person to move jobs.

Hazard starting to waffle a bit.

If he really wants what's best for the club, he'll stay at Chelsea.

I suspect he doesn't really.

It's evident he would like to move to Madrid, but most Chelsea fans I know just appreciate his honesty. He is playing at a level we have never seen him play at, and we're enjoying every minute of it.

There are good reasons for him to stay though. Their manager is on the rocks atm. Who knows who their new manager would be. I have seen Conte linked with them. No chance Hazard joins if they appoint him. They may not even make the CL this season (unlikely, but who knows), and all that is before we get to the good reasons to stay at Chelsea - no more Conte, CL football likely back next season, he plays for a manager that suits his style and in turn he is currently on course to have his best ever season - he has repeatedly said his family life is extremely settled in London.

So I genuinely see good reasons for him to leave, but I see just as many, if not more reasons, for him stay. If he finishes his career here, I think he would have a great shot at being our best ever player.

I don't know how genuine this is, but I don't care, I'm always up for good Hazard propaganda :)

Makes sense, Real will likely only be interested if he's on a free because they know any transfer fee will be huge. Spurs have to have learned their lesson by now, if you don't increase the wage bill and bring in more talent, you're going to continue to lose your stars a la Bale and Modric.

I enjoy seeing this man play, so I hope he stays at Chelsea.

Doesn’t sound believable to me, they don’t want to spend on Hazard but will pay £100m more for a Neymar that is a shadow of the player he was at Barca???

He’s regressed a lot, I was expecting him to be the star at the WC but was not good and hindered Brazil, don’t think Real want him. Hazard had an amazing WC, wasn’t he second or third behind Modric for the golden ball?

Neymar will cost a minimum of £220m and that’s conservative, Hazard could go for £150m in January or £100m max in the summer.

Hazard's agent will tell Real that Eden wants to play for them but doesn't want to shaft his current club, so he will ask Real what's the max they will pay for him. On this info, then Eden will insert a buy-out clause into a new Contract he will sign at Chelsea.

Give over. Kevin was the star for Belgium. Hazard looked a level below him at the world cup.

Better of Madrid spending 200m on Mbappe than the show pony Neymar
