Blue Colored Sky

Real just got embarassed again. There are only two players that are worth it and have star status and that is Reus and Hazard. They have to go for Reus. On the other hand, how hilarious it will be with the bids in the region of 90m€ for a guy who scored less than 5 goals

He already speaks a bit of English. He knew !

In the last game he was fouled 10 times, more than any La Liga player this season in a single game. It's nice to see him getting 3x90minutes. Remember when he was coming back from vacation to join the first team but it was cancelled because of Moses ? Good times. Generally, yet to give a stellar performance but 100% what I'm saying and thinking of him for a long time - that consistency is unusual. He can't play bad, a match that nothing comes for him or he is a bear for a team. Always gives at least positive impact and is added value to the team and for a young player it's not normal. Some players don't need long loans. Players like Musonda or Boga have to play in the most technical environment to gain confidence and show what they can do. Their natural ability is incredible and for them it would be perfect if Chelsea had a proper B team when they can decide which partners they will have. IMO players like Christensen or Solanke or RLC has to go on loan and spend there what time they need but for so technical and skillful players like Charly the loan period can be 2 years or half a year or doesn't even need a loan. He has to have confidence because he already has the abilities and hopefully he will be assed in the summer.

@Henrique "Azpilicueta can't cross"

TBF all 4 choices are like that. And you can't choose wrong if I'm honest. Okay, you can have a preference but between 4 choices you have 4 good options. Conte or Simeone will squeeze these players like a lemon. They have personality, respect and it Conte proved over times that he won't budge over what the board will try to do. He will demand his signings and he gives his opinion on it that will be heard. I can only hope that he gives an ultimatum now, either they will listen what he has to say regarding signings or he won't take the job.

Ranieri couldn't even do it in Italy or in Spain, or even with Greece against Faroe Islands (twice). Pochettino was sacked from Espanyol after they were at the bottom of the league. Now they are 1st and 2nd in England !

Was good after the first goal. Even tracked back. Was taking on people. I take it as a good omen. BTW Saw something brilliant today. Nothing compares to people opinion on Hazard as certain Gooner on Giroud.

Securing Chelsea future while others try to destroy it !

Di Marzio camp say that Conte is far more likely at the moment. One thing. In his penultimate season before Juventus he used 3-5-2 formation 0 times. Not even once. I think we're associating Mourinho's love to 4-2-3-1 formation with Conte 3-5-2. No doubt Jose loves his 4231 but Conte doesn't seem as stubborn.

Didn't you already cross one option saying that a) transformation wasn't so sudden which provides that simply not being Mourinho wasn't a factor ? Continuing that way, other factors has to play. Players may get fitter, may regain confidence, may have freedom in play, tactic was shaped a bit and few other players playing now. Which happened progressively under Hiddink and not as sudden I underline it again, which gives Hiddink the benefit of the doubt that he stimulates this by his own good work ?

But as far as I know, he said that he wants his family to stay in London anyway. His children not to move schools again. And between Manchester and London is quite a distance. Tbf it's basically the same time travel between Paris and London. Why don't he go to Paris ? Yeah, I guess they don't want him there. It's a pity. Can see Jose staying there for some time. I mean, LVG is still in charge even though everyone see what he's doing. Somethings dying inside me. It's not how it was supposed to be. In the moments like this being a fan from abroad who doesn't have a privilege to go to games is frustrating and vain. Nothingness really. If Hazard leaves in the summer just shoot me please.

Like Conte but when you're linked with Simeone. I can't get my head around this ! Chelsea appoint Conte and you will wonder what could be when something not right.

Club just went toe-to-toe with PSG ... with makeshift defence ... getting linked with 4 top managers ... man it ain't that bad.

He had two injuries. Why are you jumping on the conclusion at this point. Your posts are like 100% black 0% white. Ignores everything that doesn't fit the narrative. He was MOTM against Man Utd Was kicked out of the game but kept going. His manager tells that he still has fitness issues. Yesterday he played good in the first half but come dead in the second which is 100% fitness issue. Stick to these little facts and wait a couple of games more to see how he does when he improves his fitness.

I'm surprised nobody picked this up but here goes. What a man in keeping the ball. He can pass with his left and right foot and is calm. Compare that to Cahill, Ivanovic, Courtois and hell, even Azpilicueta. This guy is like "Hey, I'm immortal bitch". Huge feat is that. While our whole defensive set up just hates the ball and is giving it away for free, he wants to keep possession and look for a way to pass the ball to partner. If only we had at least one CB with such ability we could have more of the ball and less inviting pressure. He looks stronger and already you can see he has develop relation with Hazard on the left. The way they pass to each other looks repetitive but natural. They know what to do. I wouldn't break that up.

Mourinho set up his team defensively against "defensive" Simeone at home.

The info about Simeone comes from ex-director of Marca. Him https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eduardo_Inda . And I asked a friend and he told he is reliable. Then everyone has stolen this info and you have this even in English Express or The Sun as a done deal. But for me nothing is done yet. IMO all 4 options are viable Simeone, Sampaoli, Conte and Allegri. Each week there's a tipping point and one looks the most likely but everything seems open.

That was an answer to a quote, mister, that goes saying that Hazard may be tempted for easy life with no pressure on his shoulder and big fat cheque in his bank account. To which I replied that he would abandon his life goals e.g. winning Ballon D'Or and being a legend he wants to be. I firmly deny accusations that Hazard, after all he was saying since begging of his carrer, would take a payday now, at the age of 25, and leave to have easy life with no more pressure. And Diego Costa was one of the worst forwards and Cesc Fabregas was one of the worst midfielders. They look class now, both of them. Hazard's back to form was interrupted by injury.

How you can say that knowing that Bayern transfer record is mere 40m€ (31m£ at current rate) ? They actually spend more than 30m€ only 2 times I think. And they're part of dream clubs.

Backheels ! Keeping ball under pressure. Passing. His games under Hiddink are generally good. He didn't lose his acceleration. In December he was back on track with his fitness I think. Pity about the injury. But he played very good against Watford and MOTM against United (I'm talking about December fixtures). He is coming back from injury, give him time to being back where he stopped. And talking about starting Kenedy or Traore against PSG away versus starting Hazard, are we for real ?

Why in your views Hazard is laid back ? Maybe Neymar should go to PSG as well because that his loose style perfectly fits French League ? Hazard is one helluva competitor. Go watch a replay of Tottenham game on 1st of January 2015. Or against Southampton on 28th of December 2014, argubly the match when he was the only one in the entire team to be fit to play after 1 day rest (or as people like to say, give a f***). Remaind yourself how many times he was kicked out of the game and how many times he got up. He won everything in France. Championship, cup, 3 times in Team of the Season, 2 times Young Player of the Season and 2 times Player of the Season. Adding to that he said he wouldn't go to the French League again other than to Lille. He comes back to Lille to watch a game once in a while. He is family guy, simple and honest and he already has the money to feed future generations of Hazards. And he said he wants to improve, win Ballon D'Or, be better and better and better. But people want to ignore all that because of a few lines in one interview.

Hehe, but surely Aurier is in top 10 in the world ? (just barely)

Agree regarding Traore. I was saying this a year ago. I watched him so many times, I know he has special talent. However I don't know how you can say something about not starting fit Hazard with a straight face.

2 Stones maybe ? Not particularly world-class. Chelsea sell Hazard and we can kiss goodbye to being relevant for years. There's so much competition at the moment that it's absolute neccesity to keep hold on the world-class player that is at our disposal. Hoping that Chelsea choose right manager and have an appropriate desire even to overspend for players. If you watch Hazards interviews closely you'll notice that he is genuine honest guy, so pure and simple. I don't think he could say something so provoking. Doesn't fit to his character for me. A couple of tweaks and different angles and you have Cristiano Ronaldo-like character. Besides he said that he doesn't want to return to Ligue 1 other than to Lille. For me, it's either Real Madrid in the summer or we can keep hold on Hazard till 2018 (when Real be able to sign players again). And I think selling him in 2018 might be reasonable. We just have to look at this season how much he relies on being physically fit to perform. He is heading towards his 500th game in his career. How much longer he can play ? It's another Ribery case when he wears off after 30 ? Just hope for great few decisions by the club, big summer, keeping hold on Hazard somehow this summer and we can enjoy him for 2 more years.
