I agree, hazard just doesn't seem to have that killer instinct and single minded will to become the best player in the world, which is a shame s he almost certainly has the talent to be ranked amongst THE very best

IMO the players we can build around for the future (in no particular order): Tibo, Dave, Fabregas, Willian, Costa.  Hazard if he shows more dedication to the cause.  The three youngsters should stay based on promise alone (RLC, Traore, Kenedy)

 

Everyone else is expendable.  I'm not saying they should/will all go obviously, but everyone else has a price tag that when met should be sold.  Even Hazard, for all his potential and class, I am leaning toward selling.  He has regressed so much that I wonder if the only thing that can change his form is a chance in scenery.  If Real, PSG come calling I'd say we listen with great intent to sell.  

 

Others I generally like/show promise:

Oscar, Pedro 

 

The three transfer targets I've heard a lot about and would be excited to get:

Stones, Vidal, Nainggolan

Hazard just turned 25. He is just entering his peak. He has the talent. I am still holding on to the hopes that he will build on his consistency.

It is not like he didn't have that for the past 2 years.

Also, people are clamoring to build a team around Willian who was infuriating in attack till last year. Great player and works his socks off but every time I saw him attacking last year, I wanted to throw things at the TV. Credit to him for really stepping it up this year.
