I don’t know whether the panic or be relaxed haha. Because right now we have only signed 1 player (excluding Rob Green) and there’s only 2 weeks left. But I feel as though we will wrap up the Rugani transfer, possibly Higuain and hopefully add another quality player like Milinkovic Savic or Bailey. But the main focus is keeping hazard.
As I said I don’t know if I should be worried or not because at the moment hazard and courtois are still here but we’re cutting time short to find a replacement if they go.

I have a feeling Hazard will be staying with us although this isn't anything but guess work. I feel like if he were leaving we would've replaced him already. Maybe they've agreed that they will sell him next season at a cut price when perhaps some of our targets will be more attainable, like Bailey for example.

I’m all for hazard staying but if he does not sign a new deal before the window shuts then the club should sell him £150m plus. The club is bigger than any player and if we are in the same position next year then your looking at £100m less. So for me it’s sign a new deal, £300k P/ W or sell him and get Bailey or Isco as part of the deal.

Hazard ain't going anywhere!

I'd prefer a season with Hazard playing Sarri football and trying to convince him to commit than sell him this summer. I don't even care if he walks on a free in 2020 he's that important to us. If Hazard goes I can't see us getting back in the CL.

Fully agree with you on that Saim ;-)
No Hazard no Top4, I can’t see another player out there that we could realistically sign in the current climate that would give us what he does. People talk about his goals/ assists but his chances created for the team is probably top3 in Europe. Now if we had a striker that could finish them.

I don't believe our top 4 hopes will go with Harzard. He's influential in the team but that doesn't mean end of CFC. It all depends on what players we bring in and how the coach adapts the team.
Many of us thought same with JT, Lampard and Drogba but here we are winning the title.
Again some of us may never appreciate some qualities in team until a shift is made. You may be surprised Chelsea turned down 55+ for Willian but he's that good. I believe he's not well used at Chelsea but a certain coach can do a Conte-Moses with him and the rest is history. We only need to address the striker/ attacking positions and we are good to go.
