Fernando

Wish him the best. I hope he decides to take some players he bought here, except Kante. Take Alonso, and if he loves Willian, take him as well. Anyhow enjoy being with Courtois again.

I don't normally laugh at someone misfortune, but I won't lie I did had a smirk on my face after watching that score. But hey the grass isn't always greener on the other side.

No point in getting mad. It's the club that wants him. They did not want to sell. Can't blame him for the club wanting him and the coach picking him.

Yeah he can do it if he likes, no problem with that. But I think he is at a crossroad like Lampard. I remember when Lampard wanted to leave to Inter, but he decided to stay. Lampard status at Chelsea remain. I wonder if Hazard thinks about that. Stay here and become a legend, or go to Real Madrid and become another of their many stars. Legendary vs Elite

Sell with buy back clause.

How much is Neymar getting? If we can give him that money he will take it.

Is that official?

We can always sell. I'm sure we can get rid of Morata, Bats and company. Worth a shot me thinks.

United has a one year option extension.

Reminds me when arnasen went to hamburg and we saw how crap he was as long with the players he took.

Just read that Sarri likes Luis a lot. Seems like Luis is staying for a while.

Would bring a lot of fan base from Mexico.

I think we should get him back and Hazard will happily stay with us.

I liked this part from him: "At the moment we are okay, we are winning games, I think we are playing good football, so I enjoy. I want to keep this momentum. The bad thing is now we go to the national team, we want to just keep playing with Chelsea and win games!" http://www.espn.com/soccer/chelsea/story/3620860/chelseas-eden-hazard-maurizio-sarri-style-completely-different-from-conte-or-mourinho

I doubt it, United will wait till the summer. But by then I think in January they will lose some players.

I see that Bielsa is doing good. I'm happy for that. I always wanted him to come to the PL. Including managed Chelsea back then, when we fired RDM. We needed to change the style but still kept the same style with Mourinho and Conte. Now we are good with Sarri. But definitely looking forward to have Bielsa in the PL soon. I'm sure if Leeds don't make it some club in the PL will appoint him next season.

Might be better for us if Navas stays number one the whole season. Might discourage Hazard from going over there.

Great owner. If he leaves I would hope he gives an interview or something of his time with the club.

For the moment is good that Barkely starts. Kovacic not ready yet for full game. I think Sarri mentioned something similar along the lines. Maybe by September he will be starting 11. Take it easy for now, ease him slowly into the PL.

Real Madrid confirm Martin Odegaard has joined Vitesse Arnhem on loan http://www.espn.com/soccer/soccer-transfers/story/3606249/real-madrid-confirm-martin-odegaard-has-joined-vitesse-arnhem-on-loan To Vitesse? Why is real madrid loaning players to our feeder club?

This is something I noticed from the past. That not many managers can stay at the top of their game for more then a decade. Seems like Pep is the only one from that era still doing that today. But after that, most top managers from 10 years ago are a shadow of themselves. It is why I think within the current modern game, if you can get 3 to 5 years with a manager it would be good business. I think 5 is the optimal. After 5 it seems things tend to turn stale.

Seems like Bielsa is doing good with Leeds so far. He is a wild card. But I'm glad to see him in England. Hopefully one day in the PL....let's see if he can help promote Leeds.

He is good at scoring goals but defense very woeful. Well under Sarri we will be attacking more so that might offset some of his weaknesses...

Well we don't need that if we are going to have a lot of the ball. Unde Sarri it will be like that.
