Yeah come on... He hasn’t signed a new deal and wants out... what’s a club to do? Move on and move on already... I wasn’t as much of a fan as others around here, now I’m kinda really sick of him. Hate his demeanor, on and off the pitch.

answering your second point, like many of his fans like to say, the club has been incapable of adding quality around hazard, which essentially proves, to me at least, that having such a player may be detrimental to the squad.

as in, the squad would benefit more from 2 additional good players instead of hazard. The ban is unfortunate obviously, but hope it can be lifted at least for this window.

I've said a number of times that I think there will be an initial struggle losing Hazard, but I do think in the longer term outlook the club can recover and be potentially better off.

At the moment we are so reliant on Hazard it's embarrassing and having such a reliance on one top player is not healthy. Sarri's Napoli was a team without any real stars (Hamsik and Higuain were the biggest and I don't think neither were considered near an elite level), and the team worked as one. I think Sarri has struggled this season having to adopt his tactics which require the team to operate together as a well oiled machine to players such as Hazard and Willian who are more 'individuals'. Hazard is given a free reign in the team and not expected to track back much which doesn't help with the defensive phase of the team as a unit, resulting in some of the bigger matches him being shoehorned centrally so we can ensure we're more solid defensively.

The pace of play and "pass and move" cycles that Napoli showed under Sarri haven't developed here currently. I do think in recent weeks our playing out the back has shown signs of improvement, and that has also coincided with an upturn in Jorginho's form and the continued development of RLC who seems to be a willing runner in the midfield alongside Kante. However the whole thing dies further up the field. It's hard to knock Hazard, when he has produced so many moments of magic and is such a huge source of goals and assists for us but there is no doubt that him and Willian at times slow down the play or will hold on to the ball longer than I think Sarri would prefer.

The biggest problem next season with the ban in my opinion is not replacing Hazard on the wing, but not being able to buy a top striker to lead the line.

If I was confident the club would reinvest the Hazard money in a player capable of becoming world class I'd actually be pretty excited to see what the post-Hazard era is like. But knowing our club they'll be thinking Pulisic is the Hazard replacement and that Willian & Pedro are enough.

Yeah that's the problem. Liverpool sold what's his face and used money well. We'll just buy average players and act like it's a good deal

I don't even think they use the Hazard money on a direct replacement. Pulisic will replace Eden, Willian/Pedro for the right side, and Sarri will use Barkley as an emergency LW backup like he did a couple of times this season.

The appreciation, or the lack of it for Hazard on this thread just because fans are butthurt that he might leave (when he has all the right because the club did nothing to get back on top) is laughable. One might think this is Real Madrid fans page with their zero respect for the players.

If you want to be pissed, be pissed at our board. Hazard is the best player in the PL for years now and we are on decline for years now. 

He did amazing stuff for this club, something every Chelsea fan should deeply appreciate and respect. 

Eden' soul is intact.....Theres no doubt about that.

I love Hazard so much, but that does not mean anything. I remember KDB saying after winning Bundesliga player of the season that he will stay at Wolfsburg and weeks later, he went to City.

 

 

Obviously not. It was a tongue-in-cheek moment.

He will never be loved at Real Madrid as much as he is loved here at Chelsea. We love Hazard and yesterday, the fans with their banners showed that, but at Madrid, he will be just another player.

Yeah but the white of Real Madrid is somehow very attractive to him...

Maybe the love from our fans will change his mind though. I also think that even with Hazard and Pogba, Real Madrid will still not be good enough to beat clubs like Liverpool, Barcelona or City. Pogba will not change that much, Hazard and Jovic would improve them a lot, but they still lack in midfield and in the defensive positions. Furthermore, this project will also take some time. Our project will take as much time as Real Madrids project. I just hope that he will tell if he stays or not after the EL cup final.

He will do a Felipe Coutinho. He will leave PL because he thinks he is too good for his PL side, only to find himself booed and smashed by Spanish press and fans as soon as the first bad results appear. He is crazy to leave Chelsea right now to join Madrid. Its the worst moment for him to join them. 

If I was him I would run the contract with Chelsea and then sign for Barcelona for free. In Barcelona he will be a huge success, in Real Madrid he will be a flop.

At last this man talks sense apart from the last bit at the end about him signing for Barcelona. Don't want that bit to happen.
