I think one of the best things that has happened is selling him (I am not in the slightest way suggesting that he is past his prime). But we wouldn't have ever played CHO, Mason Mount had he remained. His departure got us Lampard and contrary to what many think I like him, for the fact he is bringing out home grown talents(something we have been craving for in a very long time).
Will we finish in top 4, well that is something to be seen but I like the way we are playing and if the youth players can show what they doing right now for couple of seasons I see lot of Chelsea legends in the making.
All of this wouldn't have been possible had Hazard stayed.
