Yes it's almost impossible to believe we are like one or two wins instead of draws away from being right in the top 4 race because we have been God awful.

Our young guys get me excited. RLC could be elite. He has all the tools and the physical prowess to do big things for us. Kenedy plays with an energy that I admire. Cortois is one of the best in the world. Miazga will only get better.
If Terry leaves, then we really need a RB or LB. Dave can play either side but Ivon needs to move to CB with Zouma. We then have Cahill and Miazga as backups or midweek guys.
We need to keep either Mikel or Matic. I lean towards both unless we get a great offer from someone. Mikel is good depth and Matic needs to get his head out of his arse this summer.
Pato playing well is a surprise but I would be shocked if Costa stays more than another year or two. Give me Griezman up front and I am a happy man. I want someone that will make runs and stress the back line. He has clearly shown the ability to score at the highest level.
I like our wings and I don't really expect movement there unless someone pays a stupid amount for Hazard. If will get a 100 million offer for him then let's make it happen...I have been his biggest fan and this year has been unforgivable.
Do we need a CM? I feel like RLC is exactly what we need and we need to give him a shot. The question is whether we put all our eggs in that basket. Cesc needs to play from a deeper position looking for those long balls off runs and RLC can play box to box.
That was a ramble...I'm excited for next year already.

I think we either need to on from Matic or he must play better. I would love to keep Mikel as the back up, game ending cdm he has been.
I don't think a deep pairing of RLC and Fabregas would work at all as they are both players who want to move forward. They both could use the player who will cover for them. That is the player we need, whether its a stronger and more disciplined Matic or a new guy.
So much of this depends on whether Conte wants us to shift to a 3-5-2, in which we will need another CB, or if he is looking to remain with a back 4.

Jose killed his morale when he brought him on at halftime then subbed him off. It was one of the most disgraceful managerial moves all season
The mistake was bringing him on the first place. Matic has been awful.

He's the best in the world at shutting a game down as a sub or breaking up play in the midfield against a top European side.
Not sure if serious? Just because he's the most one dimensional player in the world doesn't make him anywhere near the best at that one dimension. He's slow and clumsy and doesn't work all that hard.
We need a compete overhaul and now is the time for it. I'd be perfectly fine with getting all the malcontents like Courtois, Hazard, Cesc, even Costa out if the price is right.

Pjanic would be exciting. I am expecting major changes at the club in the next few months. Get ready boys

Well...that's depressing and exciting in the same breath? Only up from here.

We are trying to sign back Lukaku....

Costa looking to move to China this summer. Perfectly fine with this because it means we would get paid above market for this to happen.

We shouldn't sell unless it is a Chinese club for the reasons you listed. However, we may get £100 million if they want him

No way we get 100 million pounds for him. I think 70 million pounds to some Chinese club would be extremely generous for him at this point.
I don't know if Costa would even consider a move to China, and the only report I've seen is coming from the telegraph. I don't have too much faith in one report. Where have you seen these rumors?

If price were not a factor would you rather have Costa or Lukaku?

i thought lukaku was going to PSG
or
he was going to real and benzema was going to PSG (which i think is more likely)
