For me its a disgrace that we end the season without Mata, Hazard and Oscar future in doubt, while Mourinho is praising Ramires, Cahill and Ivanovic, and the attacking players Mourinho likes most is Willian, because of his defensive work rate.
Is this really happening?

For the french speaking fans, a double page dedicated to Hazard in today's L'Equipe, with an interview of Eden : http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/524559kipl20140211.jpg
On the subject of his departure to PSG, they quote an inside source at CFC (no name given though) : 'Jose Mourinho has tied his own future at Chelsea to the ones of Hazard and Oscar, who he absolutely wants to stay. With Hazard, Roman Abramovitch is convinced he has recruited the world's best player for the years to come, so he won't pay attention to any offer no matter the astronomic sum they could reach. Btw, he has never let a player go for financial reasons.'

I don't think anyone is judging him just on pre-season, if you saw him last season in the Bundesliga and for Belgium in the WC qualifiers you would know just how good he is! I don't talk up players based on a few performances in pre-season and i doubt many people do, but with KdB there is no doubt in my mind that he will be a superstar and he will show that this season! he will take a lot of people by surprise next season as well as he wasn't bought for a massive price tag and doesn't have a big reputation this will help him hit the ground running from the first game of the season onwards!
I bet Hull will be preparing right now how to try to think of ways to stop Mata, Hazard and Oscar and wont give much thought about KdB, but when they see KdB name on the team sheet and see him rip their team to shreds then they will know about him and so will the rest of the PL! He is a serious talent! I am more excited about KdB this season than any other player because i have seen what he is capable of, and he performs consistently good week in week out like Mata, he will be a key player for us this season and i just cant wait till the people who don't know yet realises just how good he is.

You're actually completely wrong on your appraisal of that incident. It was the perfect cross from Di Maria and Courtois saw it across the box perfectly.
His first move was to try and claim it but it actually swerves across the box rather than being a straight ball. Perfect keeping.
His second move is to meet it where the striker should be attacking it - between his centre backs. If a number 9 does what he's supposed to in that position, Courtois will meet him head-on. Again, perfect keeping.
His final move is to cover anyone at the back post and as everyone can see, he does that perfectly too.
Anyone looking to criticise this piece of play really needs to give up - this is football at it's finest. A perfect ball, a perfect back post run and a perfect save. Maybe stick to gymnastics where you can knock off a point for a person taking a step after doing a quadruple tuck somersault.
