Lets be honest, title is pretty much over. 14 games with Arsenal away the hardest game and we cannot keep our 7 points gap...that would be a disgrace. Hope we wrap it up by March so we can focus on challenging for CL for real.

PSG offer 40m for him, we sell and sign a better CAM. He is now approaching that 'for sale at huge price zone' after Kevin, Mata and Schurrle and Luiz. It is either him or Willian next, but it seems Willian has his buckle down and start putting in Chelsea standard performances again recently.

Kind of funny how from mid Jan to now he has put in 8-9/10 performance every single game. Cuadrado surely doesn't have anything to do with it right

Just hope he doesn't do a Hart at one point after Cech left...due to too comfortable. Even Bayern had to bring in Reina to at least make it looks like Neuer has to be on his toe at all time.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiOmAjrCjiU Highlight of his actions on the pitch today. Looks OK but says nothing because the game was pretty much dead.

He is now worth 50m, in one year his price has increased significantly.

Remember if he doesn't hit the ground running could always sell him back to Fiorentina or something for 10m and go for another winger so we don't have to worry. He will either be good enough or not good enough and be sold. Hope he starts against Leicester or something soon to get into form

Even if they don't get relegated the likes of Mikhytaryan, Hummels, Gundogan will probably leave anyway.

Wow never knew he was this high up in that list... also put into perspective how Ronaldo's record is inflated thanks to the pens(still the best player in the world)

It is a fact and evidence is quite clear.

It exists, he got preferences. Someone like Mata, Schurrle were dropped and sold not because they were not good enough but doesn't contribute enough defensively. On the other hand Willian produces very little offensively but constantly stays in the team because of his amazing work rate. Fabregas was a different player, we needed him because we needed someone to unpack parked defence which we struggled against last season. That is why in big games Jose can't trust him to play CDM away from home because he knows we are on the back foot for the majority of the match so someone like Ramires/Mikel is needed to cover for Fabregas.

IF MOU PLAYS MIKEL IN THIS MATCH, that would be the biggest joke of the season Ramires must start in CDM with Oscar or Willian in CAM and Cuadrado on the wing.

Thing about him is while he is not that biggest game player he is also only one of a few players in the world football who is capable of scoring outrages goals, that is what boosted his reputation as well.

Can't afford, need to sell Willian/Oscar in that case and doubt anyone will pay 30-40m min(what it will probably cost to get Isco) for them. Maybe PSG for Oscar but that is unlikely as it stands.

Tbf he is on like £170k already, £250k seems not that big of a increase for someone like him. The problem though is the conflict it might create in the dressing room like Jose said(one of a few things he is actually serious about in his pcs usually) about why we had to reject signing Di Maria, Falcao or Shaw this summer. £300k though I think is a bit ridiculous, I agree only a few players in the world deserve that and Hazard as good as he is, is not in one of them yet(neither is Rooney but point still stand).

Biggest La Liga match up to date though while our will either be a routine win or a shocked draw/loss(actually not that shock considering Mou's record there). Probably gonna do the stream+TV trick hehe since Chelsea is not live anyway.

We have built a very strong foundation at the club so that even Hazard leaves it doesn't mean the end of Chelsea FC. Of course we will replace him ADEQUATELY PEOPLE, if he leaves that is. There are loads out there like Reus, Bale, Isco...etc all talented enough to take up his mantle. Obviously if he leaves we can be damn sure we will replace him, and not the case of Valencia as Ronaldo replacement as with MU in 2009 either. We are not a one club man, never was and never will be. If we offer lets say 250k and he refuses we can sell him for like 100m or a deal with Madrid involving Bale+some cash or Isco+huge cash or just pure cash and go for someone like Reus. Look at Alexis, he is arguably having a even better season than Hazard atm. Players like him are always available. Hazard is talented but he is also not the only best winger in the world, even if he is no3 the no4 or 5 will always be able to replace him. Just relax guys, the way I see it is he stays for a few more years/until end of his peak years on excellent money and helps us win trophies/become a legend or leaves for like 100m and we get someone equivalence of Sanchez, Reus, Isco, James, Bale...etc(you get my point) to replace him. Even someone like Griemann is not bad either, he won't dribble past 100 players a season like Hazard but he will score more goals and contribute in other aspects and so on. Either of these options is fine, we are one of the biggest club in the world now globally and commercially, we don't rely on A SINGLE PLAYER to define who we are. That is for the clubs like Arsenal, Liverpool...etc

Just realized Madrid-Atletico game is on at the same time as this match FK sake got to miss either, tough choice.

Is he fit for Sat? I hope he is benched even though he did well in the last match

Everton come in and offer 20m, we take it and run normally yep, but if a good enough offer 15-20m I think we will sell and buy someone like Varane for 40m

Well he did score like 30 goals didn't he for Roma the season before I agree though Cuadrado could be Hazard or Salah, it depends on many things.

Are the mods gonna change his number to 74?

Cuadrado to score/prove assist for the winner.

Phil Thompson thinks he will sit on the bench at Wolfsburg because they just beat Bayern 4-1 #facepalm

Yh lets wait until then, for now enjoy him.
