The Belgian players might be dumb when it comes to saying things but I don't they are that dumb to say they aren't good or anything like that.
Search the first part of that quote - "Gareth Bale is a special player, I am not a special player..." - on Google and there is only one page of result and there's not one reliable source shown. So either BBC Wales created their own quote to hype up Bale (what a shocker!) or they blindly quoted from some trolling site.

Had to take six months off work!!?!?!
I'm sad for what happened to him, but thats a really long time!

Chelsea’s Eden Hazard: ‘I sent a text to José to say that I was sorry’
Hazard did an interview with the Guardian.

To be honest, I think Emenalo is the true puppet here in the hands of someone else (Granovskaya?). He gets all the blame and all the fingers are pointed at him, while I doubt he's responsible for all the decisions.

What is the high on Simeone, though? He is way too similar to Mourinho in tactics and, i for one, do not like that style of play. I want us playing nice football, not defending against the big boys and getting red cards every other game. Simeone's Atletico are way too thug like in their approach at times and it's not something i am personally a fan of; if you are then fair enough. 

Keep Hiddink rather than get that fucking toss pot Pellegrino.

On both counts, I fully expect the club to fuck up both the managerial appointment and transfers this summer.
The board is beyond hopeless now.

Although he needed to go no way has he set us back ten years.
The last two an a halfgames have shown this squad has a lot of quality, this summer is vital but a good appointment and a astute transfer window will have us challenging.
This isnt like 2012 when we dropped out of the top four only for Munich to save us, back then we needed a over haul and 6th was about right given the squad quality, this season has been the case of a quality squad having an real fluke shitshow of a 5 months, a bit like Dortmund last season.

Meh, I don't care much about Pep to City.
I think at United would have been far worse since United got the bigger budget then all of us.
Oh well we will move on. One thing is for sure, league continues to get better and better. And everyone in the league will love to give  a game against City because of Pep being there. So might make it harder for them.

Poor coaching,

No system

I'm also confident... don't know why but I'm confident, no matter who we play.
If only we had drawn Arsenal though...

Here, let me put it in order for you and do try to actually come with a response this time. This is why this is a terrible decision by the board:
- John Terry was the best defender in the league last season and is currently our best and most experienced defender.
- John Terry has starter almost every single match for Chelsea this season and is hence a key player for us.
- John Terry is not only the captain of this team, he's also the best and most important leader in the club's history, a leadership that will VERY sorely be missed given the lack of leadership in our squad.
- John Terry has the best relationship with the fans for whom he personifies this club and binning him when we have no one better will damage more the faulty fans-board relationship.
- John Terry is a product of our academy and his departure (as well as the possible departure of Cahill) will further damage already almost empty 'homegrown' and 'club trained' quotas.
- John Terry has the abilities to rally the dressing room and encourage and advise the youth players like no other which will be practically irreplaceable.
- John Terry has won everything and been in every situation and to sign TWO defenders who can offer more to the team than him would be almost impossible with no CL football next season.
- Finally, John Terry is the most decorated captain in the history of this club and telling him, after almost 700 games, that he won't be playing here anymore through a phone call with his agent is a fucking disgrace and exactly why other fans rightly call our club plastic. 

Jusr recycling the crap that was posted. So tiring to read that stuff. Based on nothing.
 
He deserves all kind of stick for his poor form. But it's so easy to question commitment and apply fake body language reading.
He's been out of form. Annoying but it happens. Just need him to get back. The real Hazard is still in there.

there you bloody go!!!!!
I've been waiting like crazy for this gif!

He doesn't want to be here. So obvious.
Happy with this football but it's MK Dons. Need you to this every week, Eden.

That one-on-one miss was classic Hazard. He's back

Takes a lot of confidence to be on such a barren goal spell then have the confidence to be firm and state you want to take the penalty. Because if he misses all of a sudden, he will take more battering from the media and fans but he took the penalty in his usual cool style and converted cooly. So glad for him. Goal and assist for him. Hopefully onwards and upwards from this

Genuinely very sad to see him go, purely for sentimental reasons as the fee was too big to turn down and he deserves to be playing regularly. 
An incredible professional and servant to the club and generally a very underrated player. Never really got the credit but he was one of the best players in Europe in 2012. Certainly changed the history of this club when he played a crucial role in us winning the CL.
But what a story he is. From a construction worker in Brazil to basically winning every possible honor in England and Europe with us, to this big-money move now. Generally, I'm not at all fond of rich people, but I couldn't be happier for Rami picking up those massive paycheck. 
His erratic technique on the ball served as a constant reminder for me that this guy was never even part of a youth academy, but maybe it was part of the reason why he seemed to only score wonder goals. Genuinely believe he was one of the best finishers in our squad. Just wish someone would make a video compilation of all of his goals here.
Thank you for everything, Rambo. Wish you all the best in the world. 

I rate Lewa but he would get a lot more criticism if he was playing over here imo. I think he is a world class striker but I don't think if he was here, all of a sudden he would be on 20 goals this season. He is in a team where he is getting regular chances to score while Costa has not had the same type of service. I mean last season to put in perspective, Costa got 20 goals in 24 starts in a much tougher league while Lewa only got 17 from 28 starts in the Bundesliga. Costa deserves a lot more credit tbh. I would not say Lewa is miles ahead of him at all. This season he has been on another level but you put Costa in that Bayern team, I doubt you would see anyone talking about his flaws.

Aren't you skipping over the fact that Costa had a period where his off the ball movement in the box was non existent ? Kinda difficult to create chances for your striker when he's forgotten what a near post run is.
It got so bad that Mourinho got into an argument at a game at half time, think it was against Tel Aviv and then benched him the next couple of games. 
Seems to me like you're using double standards when it comes to Costa and Hazard's poor form this season. Both have to take some responsibility for their poor form but both have also suffered from the poor team performances.
( and let's face it Mourinho also clearly had a negative affect on the both of them and the rest of the team this season.)
You can't let one player off the hook by blaming it all on the team but then hold the other player 100 % responsible and question his commitment.
Costa reinvigorated himself under Hiddink. Hazard hasn't really had the chance to reinvigorate himself, under Hiddink, since he still hasn't played much due to his injuries.
So how about you give him some time to reinvigorate himself before you write off our most talented player we have at this club.
 
"He looks absolutely useless at everything he attempts" 
Hazard's been poor this season but "absolutely useless at everything he attempts" ? What a ridiculous exaggeration.
Willian in the best form of his Chelsea career has created 49 chances this season (and that's with taking the majority of our  freekicks) while Hazard in the worst form of his Chelsea career has created  46 chances with 2 less games played then Willian
but sure absolutely useless at everything he attempts...
 
 
 
 

Yes the cleaning has began!!! Excited about this hoping that follows as chain reaction for: Baba, Ivanovic, Cahill, Mikel, Pedro and Remy and some of the loanees!! 

Thought this would never happen. Actually so happy he's gone now. 
just need a few more players to follow suit. 
Thanks and good luck. 

I wouldn't put it past people to bump this thread each time he scores saying how much we need him now

£25m?! Grab it and run!!!
