Failure to get it will cause a further chain reaction of players leaving. Agreed, expectation every year has to be at a minimum top 4. I am nervous going into the season, top 6 is as competitive as ever and we are coming from a weaker position. New manager, unrest in the squad. I am excited for the season, but also nervous.

the wes 7,212 Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 Chelsea have seemingly suggested that Eden Hazard is likely to stay at Stamford Bridge this season after heavily featuring him in the launch of their new away kit. https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/chelsea-transfer-news-eden-hazard-new-kit-away-launch-nike-yellow-website-a8456341.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! Tomo 21,751 Posted July 20, 2018 Popular Post! Share Posted July 20, 2018 I would say it's worth the risk keeping him and potentially selling him for peanuts next summer for two reasons. 1. There's every chance he will enjoy it enough under Sarri and change his mind DDG style. 2. But if he is still intent on leaving come next summer we should touch wood have a good enough attacking philosophy implemented to minimize the loss as much as humanly possible.

I think he'll stay and sign a new deal. Like you say it's worth the risk. Right now it would put us in such a poor position should we sell him now. The style we're currently looking to play fits him perfectly and most of Hazard's frustrations we've seen or heard have been because of our negative hoofball tactics (especially in big games) bababoom and Tomo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should also add that if Madrid don't have a replacement for Ronaldo by then, they will not be in as strong of a bargaining position as they are now. Their fans want a big name to come and the club may very well be desperate to sign a huge name. That means if Chelsea play hardball again next summer, Madrid could be forced to look somewhere else because I doubt that they will wait 2 years to replace Ronaldo. It's also worth considering how sought after Mbappe will be. The World Cup has only increased his star status and if he has a big year this upcoming season, Madrid may do everything they can to obtain Mbappe. I have a feeling that if Hazard doesn't leave this summer, he will stay because Madrid will go after Mbappe or even Neymar next summer. bigbluewillie, Tomo and The Skipper 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideshow Luiz 2,310 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 There's a lot of upside to selling him next summer. 1. Mbappe is about to be the main man at PSG. Neymar might not like that so much. Neymar and Madrid are a match made in heaven, they should just get a room together, already. 2. Other clubs can turn his head (if he doesn't sign a new deal). His price won't be terrible if Barcelona + Madrid both want him. If we do sell him this summer, I hope to god that the club have been lining up deals. Nothing like getting a cash inflow and everyone's price goes up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,161 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 IF this http://astamfordbridgetoofar.com/2018/07/21/bad-news-for-chelsea-fans-as-blues-agree-170million-double-deal-to-send-two-stars-to-real-madrid-report/ is true, I am going to lose my fecking mind!! Only £170 for BOTH Hazard AND Courtois! Thats £65m less or so than what we should get at minimum (and £120m less than a Courtois with 2, 3 years left on contract double deal would cost!) If you subtract out Courtois £35m Real is getting Hazard for £135m or basically the same as what Barca paid for semi bust Dembele and £15m less than they paid for Coutinho! Please talk me down from the rope and chair. WTF is going on with our board for last 4 years????????? Arguably best GK, certainly top 3 in world we will sell him soon for a third of his value Have 2nd or 3rd best RB in world may sell him Best DMF in world by far, may lose him Had the current best attacking MF in world on club sold him for shit May lose 1st or second best LW in world soon Had now current 2nd best RW in world, Sold him for shit Had now current top 6 or 7 striker in world, sold him for shit And another top 10 or so striker and our manager fucked him off n' out Grrrrrrrrrrrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am at a point where I can actually see us doing this. 19 days till window for inbound slams shut. Donnarumma is probably off the board now as CAS reversed AC Milan Euro ban. That leaves Thomas Strakosha as only truly world class keeper who is remotely available. Of course its another Italian game-playing team (Lazio). Only good news (if true) is Barca came back with 3rd bid for Willian at around £55m. He gave interview today and deffo wants out and I would much rather he go to Barca than Man U and £55m is great price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsblubot 3,595 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 all this drama ... https://www.premierleague.com/players/4503/Eden-Hazard/stats?co=1&se=-1 and an actual link too! Can filter by season and compare with other players to have an idea of effectiveness and characteristics. We all have eyeballs, so just additional info. The club will be just fine with or without hazard. For me it is simple actually: sign a new deal or fuck off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zo kondigde Le 10 Sport een akkoord voor 190 miljoen aan tussen Real en Chelsea. Een bericht dat ze later in een ander artikel tegenspraken. In Spanje zelf blijft het betrekkelijk stil rond Hazard. Real heeft zijn bevriende media nog niet het sein gegeven dat een deal in de pijplijn zit. Het Nieuwsblad (The Newspaper) https://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/dmf20180720_03625206 Eden Hazard naar Real Madrid is nu al dé transfersoap van de zomer. De Rode Duivel wordt al jarenlang gelinkt aan de Koninklijke en sinds hij uitblonk op het WK voetbal wemelt het van de geruchten. Het Franse Le 10 Sport meent al te weten dat de twee clubs een akkoord hebben over een transfersom van 190 miljoen euro, maar dat nieuws lijkt voorbarig.

Sideshow Luiz 2,310 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I want him to stay, but it's really important that we decide what we're going to do now-ish. We need to see what we're working with. If we're going to sell, just do it (agree it confidentially) and get to work on what needs to be done.
