Always thought he was kinda s**t for us back then.Decent with Porto and Barcelona though.

Think he's been one of our better players this season poor defending has left him exposed at times not entirely all his fault.

Kepa,Pulisic,Jorginho none of which have come cheap and that's only in the last year or so.I don't think the investment will stop wheather he wants to sell or not.

Personally I'd prefer if his visa situation got sorted so he could come back and be more hands on in the running of the club like he was in the past.

That's because just like last season we still haven't replaced Costa. Kind of goes to show how good Hazard is that in our last 3 seasons including this one he's remained consistent no matter how good or bad the rest of the team is around him.

Exactly

If Chelsea football club secures Champions League football for next season and this transfer ban gets suspended for this summer at least.We could easily attract a manager with the pedigree of winning trophies like Max Alligri.The club doesn't automatically lose its appeal just because Sarri got the sack. The reason why I think Howe could be a good appointment is the same reason why Pochettino from Southampton to Tottenham was a good appointment.Plus of course it would be nice to see a young talented English manager get a chance at a big club for once.

Sarri had won nothing either before he came.The only "Pedigree" he had to go on was his style of play. Howe worked his way up from the lower leagues,he's an intelligent guy ,likes to play attacking possession based football and would work well with the younger players like CHO because his man management skills are exceptional.On top of that he's English and knows the league inside out Unfortunately though you are right about the potential backlash against Howe if things did go wrong,that's why it's probably best he stays away from such a comically run club.

Heard Eddie Howes name been mentioned as a possible replacement for Sarri. If Sarri meets the objectives for this season or not,I think Howe would be a fantastic appointment and certainly not a step backwards.

That's to hard to call.

Not sure if it's just on my end,but not only are posts slow at posting,but site keeps crashing too.

True but surely his agent will prioritise other clubs until it's clear that we get the go ahead to sign players this summer.

Spuds losing yesterday,Arsenal and United losing today,apart from them scousers winning with Salah cheating again it's been a great couple of days football so fare. 3 points against Burnley tomorrow and we're up to 3rd?

And we're probably not one of those teams not with the transfer ban situation still up in the air.

I think Ole has lost the plot slightly more confident about that game now

Then he'd be admitting to doing something wrong.It's probably easier to play ignorant than to take responsibility for acting like a c**t.Especially if it's someone in his position and gets caught.

Can't beat a bit of optimism

Both clubs are very similar except if you look at the important trophies won since the end of the Fergie era we've done much better.

A lot of talk about Jovic knocking around would take Timmo Werner if available myself personally. Lukaku never

Ajax performances in the Champions League would say otherwise.

Sooner he's back then the better.

That's true if Sarri had a 15 to 20 goal striker to work with along side Hazard top 4 would of probably already been a given. He brought in Higuain in January it failed, but at least he realises where our problems are. Personally I wouldn't mind if he stayed another year,he'd get a full pre-season this time and if the transfer ban gets suspended he can bring in the players we need.

He's off to West Ham in the summer if rumours are to be believed.

Exactly

That's strange didn't Ronaldo say recently he finds it harder to score in Italy than he did in Spain or England.Tactically one of the best leagues he has played in I remember him saying.
