Like Kovacic it may be a mutually beneficial deal for both parties. Asensio and Isco would very well be in a similar position to that which Kovacic was in last summer, and as a result may want to move for regular football but be unsure walking away entirely from Madrid. For us in turn it would be good seeing if a player like the above would adapt well to the Premier League. The success of Spaniards in the league has been rather mixed and I would rather we did everything we could to prevent another Morata-esque situation! I like the guy a lot but we cant really be putting Mat K in that class of player bracket. Of course I woyuld take either Asensio/Isco but the gamble is for every player we buy. Tho I hear you. I'm sure that we could all give our preferences for players we want to come in but its down to our amazing board and they don't think like Chelsea supporters all the time. Lets just hope they have a plan sorted and have touched base with those players already! I won't hod my breath just yet tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I think I want to stay. It is a hard decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzchap 8,966 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 He isn't 100% committed, so my brain says let him go. Give CHO 18 months to see if he can fulfil 70% of his boots. Use the money wisely to recruit a decent midfielder and see how CHO and Pulisic get on. My heart wants him to stay, but should always follow logic and reasoning IMHO- following your heart only works in Disney Movies...

Think they could play together quite easily. Only it's a matter of cost, but Hazard will not be that expensive for a club like Real anyway :(. They can also mode some of their good attacking mids to make room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoroccanBlue 5,382 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 The only reason he hasn't said anything is because Real haven't approached him yet. They want Neymar and the only way he will stays is if they pursue Neymary or Mbappe. He'll then come out with some bollocks like I was always going to stay here or something along the line. Quote me on this if it doesn't happen. I'd gladly eat some humble pie. Unionjack, Vesper, kellzfresh and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote me on this if it doesn't happen. I'd gladly eat some humble pie. Spot on, that is exactly what will happen. Real are crazy to not make a move for Mbappe IMHO. No to Neymar. They (Real) certainly have players to sell to easily finance it too, even if he costs £250m plus. Lets say Icardi doesnt renew so his release clause is still around £100m so £350m for both sell Marcelo £50m Álvaro Odriozola £40m (the will bring back Hakimi, so no way they carry 3 RB's) Luka Modric £25m Isco £80m Marco Asensio £90m Gareth Bale £65m there is your £350m right there, and none of those prices are unrealistic to fetch and RM could easily drop another £150-200m plus to replace/upgrade those sales They get back James from loan (no cost) Junior Firpo at LB for £45m (he already says he wants to go there) Rodrygo is coming in already from Santos so no more cost, he replaces Asensio just leaves them short a winger and a MF and £105 to £155m still left to spend Hell they could STILL gangster Hazard from us and have £70 to £80m left to drop on a MF AND dont forget Kovacic so you can lower their all round costs by £40m to £50m ie, they could buy SMS and EASILY fit within that budget I laid out (including even buying Hazard) it is madness I would LOVE to be sitting in their shoes, off year schmoff year Unionjack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xPetrCechx 13,570 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Sarri says he speaks every day with Hazard but about his position on the pitch, not about his future. Sarri will be very pleased to see him stay but he wants him to be happy and it is up to him. #MCICHE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clockwork 1,794 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 On 2/6/2019 at 7:43 PM, OneMoSalah said: And for exactly the same reasons Benitez and the current Real boss dont rate Isco. James showed under Ancelotti and for Colombia he is more than hard working enough. He is more suited to playing as an advanced 8 than Isco for me. Isco a great player but again, I consider him more luxury than James. Plus James end product is better. I just cannot agree with that, and many who have watched and are more familiar with Isco and James would disagree with you. James is in the same tier as Mata and Ozil. On the other hand Isco will never be known for his work rate and tactical awareness. But at least he is not as limited as James by his speed and stamina. I think he is doable. For Isco is more about buying in, and i believe Sarri can do that. James on the other hand not only needs to buy in, but he is limited physically. I think James is better suited to Serie A, Juve can be a great spot for them. Isco on the other hand is more suited to EPL. Plus Isco dribbling and close control would be greatly needed to replace the void left behind by Hazard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real is his youth dream club, but hazard is also a family man and his family is happy in London. I understand the frustration, and for me the talk can also stop now, but I can not say that he ever said something bad or disrespectful about our beloved club.
