Man, I can't wait to be rid of Thibaut. I hope we just make him rot in the reserve team for a year. That would make me happier than 30 mil.


I don't know a thing about Kepa, but I do know that I am done with Thibaut.

Best thing about this window is that we kept hazard and Kante.

Morata HAS to gain some confidence he’s gonna get fed the ball on a platter plenty of times by Willian and hazard. They won’t be as crucial to play defensive mid with Kante Jorginho and kovacic flashing. We have the squad for a top 4 finish, just have to master Sarri ball.

Keeping Hazard is good, but I'm not gonna be excited until he signs a new deal. Otherwise, we might have the same saga as Courtois next summer.

And Tbo already yapping his mouth about hoping Hazard joins him. What a total douche.

If he does then he does. But we need to get back into CL. That’s the goal. If hazard didn’t want to leave when we weren’t in it then he has less incentive making less, being older, and being a legend at a club in the CL.

Michy loaned out. I think Morata is going to get a shot, and if that doesn't work, he's gonna play Hazard at striker like Mertens

It could work in a different system.

We looked really good in the second half. Can't wait to watch the team with Hazard/Kovacic and a couple months of training under their belt. Hoping we can just keep the results fairly positive until we really get rolling.

Mertens would look awful in most systems as a central stiker, and he couldn't stop scoring at Napoli.

He’s way to valuable in the midfield to waste up top. You’re letting this whole system thing get in your head too much also. It’s soccer and these guys are pros, time to go to work.

This is all if morata can’t get his shite together. He showed a couple of sparks today. He gets closed down and physically jockied off the ball immediately because defenses know he’s got a rep for going to ground easily. We won 3-0 today, hopefully creating a bit of confidence for everyone

And if he can score 30 goals up top, he's probably too valuable to waste in midfield.

Hazard and Mertens are two vastly different kinds of players too. If we're going with comparisons, Pedro has a game much closer to Mertens than hazard. Both like to make runs into the box and arent shy about taking a shot. Neither of which Hazard excells at.

Hazard is gonna do his own thing anyway. But im sure, for one reason or another, we'll see pedro, willian, and hazard all up front together at least a few times.

And Real Madrid come back with 200 million offer for hazard

After not getting the option to buy and seeing Courtois snake is something tells me we wouldn’t solve their problems regardless of the price...

I'm assuming everybody is in contention to start tomorrow? Except anybody with injury of course.

Kovacic will not be starting tomorrow for sure. Although, Sarri said there is a great possibility for him to play the last 30 minutes of the game.

Did y'all see Stewart Robson saying that Jorginho isn't good on ESPN FC the other day? He said he doesn't know what Sarri sees in him. Said he'd have been the 8th or 9th guy he'd have taken out of the Napoli side last year.
