United have gone through it in recent years with Ronaldo, Liverpool went through it with Suarez and then Coutinho, Spuds with Bale and Modric, Arsenal with RvP. Now it's our turn to sell our best player in their prime. All those clubs have managed to move on well for the most part. Liverpool, through excellent management and great signings, are now far better than they were before. Spuds likewise.

City are the only club in the PL now who are probably immune to having any of their players poached because they have the best coach and unlimited money to offer in wages.

Our problems are that we may be fucked by a transfer ban and even if we aren't, our club are shit at recruitment these days. Even Sarri has come out over the last week and said he wants to keep Kova who has been average, Higuain who has been disappointing, and doesn't feel like we need another midfielder to compete with Jorginho. 

So we'll basically have the same squad as this season minus our best player. Doesn't sound so great, does it?

Yeah but current state of this club, we will do the post RVP Arsenal rather than post Suarez Pool. Everything is pointing in that direction.

I know we will move on from Hazard, eventualy it will be done, but honestly I think right now we dont have any sort of quality to build a post Hazard team. There is bigger chance we will be midtable team for couple years than top3 team, nevermind winning the title. 

We are increasingly showing less and less ambition, throwing less money, having lesser quality squad every year and our board doesnt have skill or capacity to build a young fresh team.

People say we will replace Costa, but we never did. Hazard money will be invested in Pulisic and some sort of deal for Kovacic as soon we can buy again. Thats not going to get us anywhere near top and will never replace what Hazard offered to this team. It will have same effect like replacing Costa with Morata. 

Id have no problem selling Hazard if we went after the likes of Jovic, Pepe,...but the club will settle for way more inferior players, I dont buy that crap we will be better team after Hazard leaves.

Eden Hazard would become Real Madrid's most expensive signing - but would still be cheaper than Philippe Coutinho (Sky Sports )

We can keep him for another season if Real don't want to give us big money. 

Then we sell him in January. 

Who knows by then Real might not want him anymore. 

Risk losing him like Sanchez. Worth a try.

Was that his best individual display in a Chelsea shirt? Even by Hazard's standards that was god-like stuff.

Controversial thought - if the transfer ban sticks, keep Hazard and sell Willian/Pedro. Let Hazard run down the contract and see if Real will still be interested this time next year and want to buy a 29-year-old.

Similar view popped up on BBC...

He had a lot of god like performances. Chelsea fans just do forget how many times he had those. In Mou´s second season and first Conte season, he always played like that. He is just the greatest Chelsea player of all time. He ist he closest thing to Messi and Ronaldo out there

Involved in 28 goals and Willian is second with 9.

Just screams the issue we've had for multiple seasons.

[Laylabelle 9,411]

Good goals... Good runs.... Needed that tonight! Little spark and volia

Humble Hazard -he just said his goal was a bit lucky. 

Asked if the Wet Spam fans were right singing ''He's off to Madrid'' he said no they're wrong 

[Laylabelle 9,411]

'' They are wrong. For now I am just focusing on Chelsea until the end of the season. I want to finish top four and Europa League, we still have a lot to do and then we will see''

Oh.

Unfortunately, it's now quite clear that Hazard is off to Madrid.

Was a real pleasure to have him here at Chelsea and EPL.

Not sure if we will ever have a player of his quality ever again at Chelsea.

If the ban doesn't get overturned, I can see him seeing out his contract.

What is £100m~ when you can't do anything with it for 12 months?

The only ones I;ve seen that can match that are Everton at home and Sunderland away. I put this in his top 3 for sure and it has a valid argument for top 1. Just in terms of level of performance.

It wouldn't matter. him fucking off, if we had the calibre of other players in previous seasons. Kovacic and Jorginho never score let alone make assists whereas in the past we could rely on a regular 20 goals a season from one midfielder, Lampard.
