Fucking hell, man. Just woke up to this news. Next to Eden he's been our best player recently and could've been a huge difference maker in the final. He was finally getting over his niggling injuries and now this happens in a ridiculously timed friendly. This not only fucks up our chances at a European title but our potential summer transfer plans as well. More worrying is whether he's even the same player when he comes back if it is indeed a ruptured Achilles. For a player who relies on power and athleticism like Ruben does it could forever change him. 😩😩😩

Would be a massive mistake to appoint Lamps at this stage in his career. Maybe if he keeps doing well for another 3-5 years. Think he needs to make another step up and prove himself at the level just below us before he can take on one of the world's biggest clubs. As for sacking Sarri, I just cannot imagine it this summer. Starting over with new tactics and new personell again while everyone around us is stable and just getting better would be stupid. Give him a summer window and another at least half season.

As I said a couple days ago, I agree he's very good. I think if he goes to a club that actually plays him in his best position I think he'll return to the top class player he was at Liverpool. As long as Sarri is here the links to us don't make sense, however. If we played using a 4-2-3-1 he'd be ideal.

He seems like the biggest self absorbed cunt in world football,might there with his France teammate Pogba. Always has to make a big show about everything he does and says. I suppose Barca will have to sell a few. Suarez & Coutinho seem likely.

Horrific, really. A match winning, world class striker would've helped so much this season.

We need to go for all out pace and athleticism like Liverpool have done when we sell Eden. Pulisic, CHO, and then finally buy the player I've wanted for a couple of years now- Wilf Zaha. Just blitz and overwhelm everyone with relentless energy.

Even though I despise Real Madrid, I hope he does. Hazard is a genuinely good guy and I want to see him succeed there. And I think he will be a Ballon D'Or finalist soon enough.

I can't see any way Eden fails. He may not improve per se, but he will at least maintain his current level which is obviously world class. Can't see him pulling a Coutinho who he's far better than. Ironically, I think Hazard would be a far better fit at Barca than he would at Madrid.

They are buying promising & potential trouble if rumours are to be believe. Going from Pedro & Willian to Lucas & Asensio isn't exactly a notable step up. Simply having Marcelo on his flank will be massive for him. Imagine going from Alonso to Marcelo. If they buy a new striker and a Bale replacement as they're rumored to be doing, opposing teams won't be able to simply focus all their attention on Eden. He has often been marked by 2-3 defenders here because opponents know he was our only true danger.

Honestly, I think a big part of the appeal for Hazard is the fact that he won't have to shoulder so much of the load anymore. It won't have to be "give it to Hazard and hope for some magic." Life will be much easier for him there. He'll finally be surrounded by players of his ability and for a side that will show up on the pitch 99% of the time as the vastly superior team. They'll probably completely refresh their attack this summer and be competing for the Liga title.

Looks quite embarrassing for the club to have made Eden the star of the new media campaign. Face of the new kit launch, plastered all over the outside of the Bridge in the new kit, etc. They've known he wants out for a while. Hell, so did he so I wonder why he'd agree to do it.

His mind was made up after the World Cup when he came out with those initial "it's been a wonderful 6 years..." quotes. Think he would've gone then if it weren't too late in the window. Oh well. Pleasure to watch him for all these years and good luck to him. I expect he'll dominate in La Liga even more so than he did here. Must be an exciting prospect for him to play for his dream club under his boyhood hero. Hopefully the club don't allow us to fade into midtable mediocrity after they sell him.

I just hope the club are exploring some of Real Madrid's other players that may be off and not just using Kovacic as a bargaining chip. Haven't there been rumblings of the futures of Kroos and Modric being uncertain? I'd love either here. They're after Pogba apparently.

It's always a risk, but he's got the perfect skill set for the PL. He seems like the complete center forward. Good in the air, good with his feet, he's got that powerful, stocky build like Aguero that can sustain the physicality. He's also good with both feel and can score from distance. Really not many options out there. I just don't want us to take any more punts on oldies who are past it.

Expecting a repeat of that cryptic shot he said a while ago. "I've made my decision and will talk about it after the final." Though it wouldn't shock me if he came right out and said he's going.

Thing is, if we're able to sign players this summer there's a chance we can take a massive leap in quality. Just 3 signings in a few key areas and we're a different animal. That's what I'm holding out hope for. If his rumored move to Real Madrid isn't done yet, we should be going all out trying to make Luka Jovic our next #9. That would immedietly elevate us a level. Add a new top class wide player and top class fullback and we can compete with City and Liverpool.

If Sarri is fine with having a striker that scores once in a blue moon I'd just assume we recall Tammy or Bats. At least they be desperate to impress and offer more in open play. Higuain scores the occasional class goal but is infuriating to watch almost every time he receives the ball. Looks chunky as hell again, too.

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 CAS, you're our only hope. If for no other reason than so we don't have to ever see Higuain, Kovacic, Willian, etc in a Chelsea shirt next season. Imagine Higuain leading our line for an entire season. With no Hazard and the same stale team around him. 😩

Kinda sucks that City now have more titles than us. 😒

I think Pedro has misplaced every pass he's made today. Second utter shocker from him in as many weeks.

Our players look like they're already on holiday. Pretty pathetic effort, this.

Sort of a preview of what we'll be like post Hazard if we don't get a freeze on the transfer ban. Average players like Willian, Pedro, and Alonso running around being totally ineffectual. We simply have a whole bunch of players who turn up once in every 5 matches. The rest of the time they're midtable standard.

Decent XI but think we'll probably lose this one.

We as fans despise Spurs and would love to see us finish above them. But I'm not sure this particular Chelsea team has the mentality that cares that much. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Not that finishing 3rd instead of 4th matters anymore, but our last match here will likely be much trickier than Spuds'. They're playing Everton who I think I read will be without about 4 of their best players. This being Leicester's final match and it being at home they'll want to put on a show and they'll be really up for it. Wouldn't surprise me if our lads just go through the motions today since there isn't much to play for.
