Fekir and Baily please mate

I also still like Asensio too

OR do we take Dembele in part ex

I think Fekir is quality, but I see him as a central player (I know he can come in from the wing).  More of a Mertens type.  I don't know what his defensive side is like, so I don't know if he can play as an "8".  I've seen a few things where Sarri liked to play a 442 diamond (4312) at Empoli, maybe that's the spot for him?

I was pretty confident that Eden was staying and that Madrid really wanted Neymar, but I'm not so sure anymore.  It's an odd feeling, I don't remember having a player that we couldn't keep.

But, when we got Eden, he was a promising player, not the pseudo-galactico that he is now.  When we got Drogba he was unproven.  Same for Lampard, Cole, Robben, the list goes on.  On to the next one, I guess.

Fekir, Baily, Guedes, Coman, Pulisic, Asensio ?  

If Hazard is sold (I'm going to be in the minority here), I think keeping Willian and moving him over to the left is a good option.  I think he's much better there or centrally where he can cut inside.

Still hope he stays.

Don't forget we have Callum Hudson-Odoi.

That lad is going to be a huge star here. 

We need a ready made, experienced replacemrnt yes but talk of us not having a player of huge quality for quite some time once Eden leaves is wrong.

I think it is truly time for a new era at Chels. 

If Eden goes, then milk it for all he is worth and do it this summer. 

As much as I will miss the guy, we are still Chelsea F.C and we will still fight to be top dogs of England and Europe.

Will see what Sarri thinks on the Perth trip. But be useful to keep on site even if just for HG

But we NEED to be looking at Eden options seriously now.

Sarri will have looked at him already but yea, the pre-season will definitely show how good Callum is. 

If he goes out on loan this season I will be absolutely gutted. He is ready!

The club will havea shortlist of candidates to replace Eden. Let's hope we can get 2 quality players the money we would get from a possible sale of Eden.

[Unionjack 7,532]

IF the club were on top of its business they would have had a plan already sorted and had touched base with a short list of alternatives in this last year.

Even peeps not into football (the nurse that changes the cast on my hand lol) knew that Eden had a love interest with RM.

So we should have been arse kissing the guys on this list ready for this day coming

But somehow of course I think thats utter shite.

We need 4 players for sure - 5 to make a proper fight of things.

[Special Juan 28,865]

I think he's gone, but the replacement has to be Bailey. This kid is raw has absolute stack and stacks of talent.

[BXL70 400]

We have Drinkwater to replace Hazard.

[Duppy Conqueror 1,588]

get his replacement in a.s.a.p. even if he then stays is not like we can`t use upgrades in our front 3.the longer we hold on for a higher price the less time we have to replace him in this window..plus teams will over inflate the price once we have that major fee we`ll get for him and less time to spend it.

for me if we going to play a 4-3-3 again ,longterm we have CHO but we still need 2 or 3 others for those edges..i`m intrigued by the thought of Pedro under Sarri but he`s only a short term fix for a year or two.

I didn't know a member of the CFC board was on here

[El P. 1,354]

Costa left, Fabregas is not playing anymore for sure, Courtois will leave and Hazard too. End of an era, end of one very good CFC generation, way too soon.

How JT, FL, DD (with PČ and AC) lasted for almost 10 years, and this generation lasted only for like 5 years? Well, because of all the Essiens, Ballacks, Ivanovićs, Carvalhos, Anelkas, Joe Coles. That's the only difference. 

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Refused to believe anything at the moment. Rumour starting with the words "his father bla bla" sounds like make up story to me. One thing for sure him and Courtois has to report back to Sarri first and let's see how it is going from then. One thing concrete is that Sarri want him to stay.

[lucio 5,418]

fuck that, just sell willian , pedro, drink, bakayoko , zappa, luiz , bats - that would raise £170m+

It's is not money... We can afford to buy players even without selling those guys u listed up there....Its Hazard willingness to go....

I'm wondering who  released the press pics of the away kit with Eden center?

But they were only recently announced thats what I meant. Will be embarrassing to pull the ads with him as star.

We can crop it out if needed

We want him to stay for sure. So it all depends on him. Sign the extension ffs.

[kellzfresh 7,229]

We might actually lose him this time, there's so much pressure, its not looking good. We need a contingency plan, if we can get Lozano and Bailey then Hazard can go, because if Madrid don't get him now, he'll definitely go for much less next season. 

He's been a great player for us and we'll definitely miss him if he goes.

There’s only “so much pressure” if you start believing every nonsense rumor. Not confident Hazard will stay but it’s kinda annoying that people choose to believe rumors that conform to their fears over reliable sources. Contrary to what’s reported by that le10 sport, the most reliable source on Belgian players has said nothing has been agreed between us and Real Madrid...

 

 

[dreamcfc 182]

Don't believe any of it, so we're back to talking about Hazard bids, what happened to Courtois?

This has only been so big of a story all week off the interviews they both gave after the WC, since then, nothing has been said and it's just repeated bullshit, everyone making up fees etc, with just over 2 weeks left on the transfer window, if these where going, surely we would have something more concrete to talk about by now, don't expect me to believe that we will discuss what they want to do when they return from holidays, that gives us what, less than a week to sell and replace them? Can't see it happening some how.
