Kinda want the transfer ban to stick, just to see how will things play out. 

If we are to have a ban I'd rather we have it now whilst we're in a state of transition anyway than defer it. It would give Sarri potentially an extra year to get this style to work (if he stays) and some of our loan and young players potentially a chance to stake a claim, before we can buy players again and go big if required.

I feel that would be the worst outcome. Sarri can't implement his 'style of play' with the current lot. We have and we are seeing that. If we keep sarri, we will need to get players (specially a striker) who suits his requirement. If Luiz leaves, we will need a cb who can fill in those shoes, my preference would be ake

 Most importantly we need to sell the likes of willian and Pedro, and get wingers who do what is asked off them (stick to the touch line) rather than crowding the center. 

It's almost imperative that sarri gets a transfer window if he is getting another year. Else it will be the same old drivel that we have seen this season sans hazard.

If he stays he will truly be one of Chelsea greats. 

When Terry, Lamps, Drogba refused offers left and right, Chelsea was undisputed top 4 club in the world. Regular semifinalist in CL and PL contenders. 

Chelsea has been way below top for a while now, despite two titles in last 5 years. We havent shown proper ambition in a long time. If Hazard who is world class still stays here, that will be a massive respect.

Life is fucked up when the players fans would like to see stay want to go (e.g. Hazard) but the players that fans would like to see leave want to stay (e.g. Willian).

We are just not used to it. Since 2003 we've been one of Europe's best team, wages are high so our best players rarely want to quit.

Just ask Dortmund fans.. Their best players keep signing for their biggest rival. Atletico Madrid too.

We have only really so far had two players want to leave and both times they were to Madrid (a fate even United regularly suffer). All our players (and AVB/Mourinho) who went to a rival went because we deemed them dispensable, not the other way round.

Thats because our level right now is Willian and not Hazard.

Chelsea star Eden Hazard backs 'fantastic manager' Maurizio Sarri and insists he's not thinking about summer move to Real Madrid: 'The way he wants us to play is the same as me'

Glad to see him publically say this regarding Sarri. Maybe because hes said some people will soften up on Sarri a bit.

Absolutely the right thing for a fan favourite to say at this time. He isn't getting sacked anymore, it's too late for that, now everybody needs to be on the same page for a strong finish, including the fans.

So the Spanish Government Subsidised club are offering Bale for £113m. 

Blimey I never thought they viewed him 25% better than Hazard.

Fuck Off Madrid.

They paid £85m for him, and, like you say lay him up for months then want £113m for him. 

Reminds me when I had to tell my daughter off, She bought some sweets for 40p ate a few, left them in her bedroom for a few weeks. Then I caught her trying to sell what was left for 50p to a schoolfriend a few weeks later. She was five years old.

If we going to lose Hazard and not get a transfer ban, Lorenzo Insigne has recently just stated he could leave Napoli apparently, tough to get him with the connection and after the Sarri saga but he would be an unbelievably good signing for us I think. Fits Sarri ball, in his peak years, wont be on an astronomical wage but fee will be high though unfortunately. Toby Alderwereild also avaliable for 25m in the summer, bit older or not, proven player and definitely worth 25m for what say 2 or 3 good seasons compared to what we have. Rudiger, Christensen and Luiz yes are all good but Alderweireld is an excellent player and even for 25m aged 29 or however old he is, would be a very good move. But the ban won't get overturned so probably not even worth attempting it haha

Alderweireld is already 30. No way the club will sign him, especially when Luiz is apparently close to signing a contract extension.

And they want 130 million for Bale?

No deal keep Hazard for another season and then go in the january transfer window ala Sanchez or for free next summer.
