Yes it will be a hell of a beating

My mouth is watering at the prospect of Sarri's Chelsea against Jose's 2018/19 United. Would be poetry to have Jose sacked after Hazard scores a hat trick.
Our 2-1 win at Anfield with the Mata goal and Gerrard sending off is still the best I’ve ever seen us play there. One of my favourite post-Fergie memories. Probably second to Evra’s thundercunt in Munich, actually.

Go for beating a team like City. Taking on United and winning would be the one of the least of Chelsea's accomplishments this season.
By Flutter Go To Postlmao why.

I doubt he wants it due to the accomplishment of beating United....

Some really good insight into the club and the changes Emery has made.
Not to worried about the expected goal shit at the moment. When you have best one-two punch in the league you don’t need to worry about creating 20 chances a game while the rest of the squad learn the system.

By rossonero Go To PostPaquéta to Milan according to Brazilian media. I have no idea if he is any good, but seems to be sought after at least.It seems to be a done deal. Based Leonardo
He will come in January, we need a midfielder now though
By Flutter Go To Postlmao why.I never said it would be an accomplishment lol.

Christensen is pretty good, but boy, how Conte used him last season was pretty crazy. Played almost every game even when it was clear that he had a drop in form. Boy just looked fucking exhausted.
By Laboured Go To PostWow, lucky Madrid. Great price too.Some of the prices the press throw around are so funny. It's like they haven't adjusted to 2018 at all. Hazard would take €200m at an absolute minimum. Up to €120m? Lol. Some guy on ESPN said Utd could sign Skriniar for around £40m. It's like are you serious? What world are you living in. It is certainly setting a very false expectation for their fans at a minimum.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostHazard's contract is up at the end of the season, though.
*next season. So yeah, that price kind of makes sense.
Teabow went for 30m. Even with only one year it felt a little cheap. I can see fatbottom going cheap-ish too with only 18 months left.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostHazard's contract is up at the end of the season, though.Doesn't really matter. Chelsea are honestly better off letting him run his contract down to 0 then selling him for that price. They will get over €200m if he goes anywhere in January. If it's next summer, they'll still get €150m. At least.
I wont be surprised if Chelsea sells off Hazard though. Getting 150 million would significantly help them in getting a good replacement.
It's not like, this is the Chelsea of the old.
edit: Think only City or PSG could do this shit, because they can afford it for obvious reasons.

By Meier Go To PostDoesn't really matter. Chelsea are honestly better off letting him run his contract down to 0 then selling him for that price.
They won't do that, because guess what... They are not better off. I think Chelsea will try everything they can to keep him until the summer, but they aren't going to let that contract run out, if Real are waving around 120m. Better to just take the money (cause this really does matter to Chelsea these days) and find someone willing to play for Chelsea, like with Courtois.
Also who could afford and want Hazard at 200 million? There's no chance he will go to any EPL club, Bayern arent the type to spend that much money and PSG is already stacked.
And this is excluding the fact that he has publically said that he wants to go to Real Madrid. As it stands theres only one suitor available.

Bayern are going to have to start spending big unless they have a team of world class 16 year olds that they can bring in when their current pensioners leave/get thrown into horse's incinerator/

There is no when hell anyone buys Hazard for 200 million in January, thats a ridiculous valuation.
A statement from Ronaldo's lawyer Peter Christiansen reiterated the Juventus forward "vehemently denies all accusations in this civil action".
Christiansen said a "media outlet irresponsibly" based its reports on "stolen and easily manipulated digital documents" of which "significant parts were altered and/or completely fabricated".
Christiansen says in a statement his client's position continues to be that "what happened in 2009 in Las Vegas was completely consensual".
The lawyer says Ronaldo does not deny that he agreed to enter into an agreement, but "the reasons that led him to do so are at least to be distorted".
The statement added: "This agreement is by no means a confession of guilt.
"What happened was simply that Cristiano Ronaldo merely followed the advice of his advisors in order to put an end to the outrageous accusations made against him, in order precisely to avoid attempts, such as those we are now witnessing, to destroy a reputation built thanks to hard work, athletic ability and behavioural correction.
"Unfortunately, it is now involved in the type of litigation that is very common in the United States."
Christiansen added: "Although Cristiano Ronaldo is accustomed to media attention, inherent in the fact that he is a famous person, it is absolutely deplorable that the media continue to propagate and stimulate an intentional defamation campaign based on stolen and easily manipulated digital documents.
"Cristiano Ronaldo has mandated his lawyers in the United States and Europe to deal with all legal aspects and expresses full confidence that the truth will prevail, despite the corruption of counter-information, and in which the laws of Nevada will be enforced and respected."
The statement also claims documents allegedly containing statements by Ronaldo are "pure inventions".
He added: "So that there are no doubts: Cristiano Ronaldo vehemently denies all the accusations in this civil action, in consistency with what he has done in the last nine years.
"The documents that allegedly contain statements by Mr Ronaldo and were reproduced in the media are pure inventions.
"By 2015, dozens of entities (including law firms) in different parts of Europe were attacked and their electronic data stolen by a cyber criminal.
"This hacker tried to sell such information, and a media outlet irresponsibly ended up publishing some of the stolen documents, significant parts of which were altered and/or completely fabricated.
"Once again, for the avoidance of doubt, Cristiano Ronaldo's position has always been, and continues to be, that what happened in 2009 in Las Vegas was completely consensual."

Better to just take the money (cause this really does matter to Chelsea these days) and find someone willing to play for Chelsea, like with Courtois.I honestly don't agree but either way, Madrid are going to be absolutely desperate and will have very little bargaining power. Next summer there will be plenty of clubs who will be in for Hazard (Bayern would be absolutely insane to pass up the chance, PSG will of course be interested in him as well, Juve have shown they are totally willing to spend as well and could unload Costa or others to fund much of the move) if he doesn't sign a new deal. Chelsea will have no difficulty getting whatever valuation they attach to him.
i can't see Bayern cutting the check it'd take to get him. It's either PSG or Madrid and PSG already got the mega front 3. I don't see Hazard being interested in Italy. so Madrid.

Again with the statue of his demeanour as the defence. That almost makes it worse.

The life of Barcelona and Argentina legend Lionel Messi will be the focus of a new Cirque du Soleil show.
The Montreal-based group of performing artists confirmed the show will go on a world tour in 2019, with exact dates and venues yet to be released.
Previous shows have been inspired by music artists such as the Beatles and Michael Jackson, but this is will be the first to focus on a sports star.
"Cirque du Soleil is a family favourite of ours," said Messi, 31.
"It feels both crazy and incredible that Cirque du Soleil will create a show based on my life, my passion, my sport.
"I have no doubt this show will amaze people as their shows always do."

Keep him at whatever it's going to cost. You don't get players like him easily anymore + it would show the world that Chelsea is serious about giving it a real go to build a top team (which they're not far from).
That being said, we'll get him for 115m this January.
Hide your Icardi's too, we're coming for him.
By Hitch Go To PostI thought Mariano was supposed to be your striker who does nothing but score?He needs minutes in order to do that, or at least take a shot at giving it a real go. With Benzema out he'll have the chance to step up.
Icardi is still my go to Benzema replacement though. I just wish we had went for him in the summer.
