I don't really care the money someone would throw for Hazard... I consider him irreplaceable. He is super young and has all the makings of a top five player in the world.

Oscar has been amazing getting back to help on defense... Jose got him busting his arse this year to see PT and it is paying off.

Yeah I agree Hazard is irreplaceable. He also loves Chelsea and has stated he has no desire to leave. He called Chelsea his dream club.

Oscar has definitely been superb this year.

Jose told the Press today that they are not looking at buying Reus.

Also reports that half the PL are looking at Schürrle, specifically Tottenham and Liverpool.

I wouldn't trade Hazard for any player in the world right now to be on this Chelsea team. I think he's as good as anyone in the world with the exception of CR7 and Messi and he's 4 and 6 years younger respectively.

Bale is injury prone and it would take a year of Mou molding him to be the kind of player we would need for him to have any chance at being an upgrade to Hazard.

I'd rather not sell Ramires just because of his versatility and the fact he's going to work his arse off. If he could chill on the cards I wouldn't have any problem with him at all.

If we could switch Schurrle for Reus I'd be good with that but I'd like to keep Andre on the team. There is going to be a time we need to bring someone on because we have to chase the game and he's a good option for that. If we sold him who else could do that off our bench?

In January I'd like to see Salah go and bring in another right back that we trust and another attack minded midfielder just for the depth. I feel like Jose is asking a lot to keep sending the same XI out there every game basically considering how many we play.

Why do we need to get rid of Salah? Young guy that gives us depth. He doesn't do much to excite me, but he is a quality enough player for us to bring in for a midweek game.

If we ship Salah and Andrew and do not bring in new faces to replace them at their respective positions, then I think it creates a hole in this team. We need to have serviceable bodies.

I agree with you RS on the chasing the game comment...Andrew has a mind for goal and he puts the ball on frame well. He makes great runs and I think is better as a sub when a goal is needed and he can run right at a tired defense.

Because I don't like him and he has blown balls when he's played.

Like I mentioned I want to keep Andre (or effectively swap him for Reus) and sign another attack minded mid (to replace Salah).

Grab Reus and Keep Andre

If swapping Salah for another guy (or bringing someone out of the academy is an option) then

Salah hasn't played well for us in any games. We need to be using his midweek games to play our own youth to give them HG status and experience. Now that can't really happen until next season since they're all on loan really.

I agree on Schürrle. I don't want him to leave but I don't view him as undroppable or irreplaceable. He has 2 goals in his 12 appearances this season. He is definitely our best option right now, just not having the results expected after the WC.

As a potential buyer I'd have to say I'd agree 100%....I'd about stroke out if Chelsea sent Hazard anywhere for less than 110 million (euro). Also, I'd be sad if he went anywhere other than the Bernabeu.

His youth is the most tantalizing piece there....he should only get better which is scary.

Newcastle away after a midweek to Shalke looks to be a tough match. I would take a grind it out style win or even a draw in this one. Still, I say it's time to grind.
