Milan 17,993 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Well, if he likes it in London, actually makes it and wishes to stay permanently, Real could use that to get Hazard. Dangerous game this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akgw13 867 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Can we all not celebrate just for one day that Kovacic will be with us this season. Lets not forget who our other options were. His future will sort itself out, but what we do know is that in the arms race that is this seasons premier league Chelsea added 2 big guns today.

Kovacic has made clear a desire to play more regularly in the first team, reiterating that stance ahead of training in the Spanish capital on Tuesday, and will be permitted to leave for the season. Chelsea would not have an option to make the move permanent next summer, with Real considering him a long-term successor for his compatriot, Luka Modric. No option to make the move permanent, according to the Guardian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're Hazard are you a slight bit let down that Madrid had the chance to go all out for you, but didnt? It seemed like they wanted him to make noise to get a cut rate price instead of valuing him as a Must have star. Perhaps its just my thinking but that might play into Chelseas favour. Feels to me like Neymar/Mbappe will be the Madrid focus from a marketing & goal scoring perspective at least, if we make Hazard the focal point in a Sarri system and pay him, I think he could stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like he can't decide for himself. He's made it clear enough times that he wants to go there but at the same time, he doesn't appear willing enough to force the move - like hand in a transfer request etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just feel like he wants to be valued and wanted, I don't think Madrid woo'd him the way they should have if they were serious about him. Even their fans seemed rather indifferent for him preferring their spanish stars and even Harry Kane instead of him! I thought for sure he was going to Madrid, but now I think with some love and Sarrismo he could genuinely stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a Savic kinda party. We certainly dont have a Kovacic style of player with us. I can only see this s a win win as Baks has gone too. Its getting better.

We gave Madrid the chance to show him some love. We said "we think you should be the record transfer fee". We want you to be a Chelsea player for life. So, let's see what Real think of you. So, Real, here's your chance to woo him and show him how much you love him. They basically sent him a dick pic and "Netflix and chill?". They want Neymar next summer, IMO.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was this after she sent a carrier pigeon to Maradona? She is about as useful as a glass hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
