Creativity does not = goals scored

It all depends on where he plays anyway. For Napoli he played DM. Chelsea have Kante there. If he plays further forward he could easily increase his assist tally.

I've seen next to nothing of Jorginho but I struggle to see how he replaces Hazard's "creativity".


I could get on board with him reducing the pressure on / replacing Fabregas who was the only real creator in Chelsea's midfield last season.

Hazard offers a very different threat and one that is very difficult to replace.
 
Still hoping Hazard leaves this summer. Although I can see him staying unless RM offer silly money (150+ million)
 
If Roman is looking to sell I wonder where his head is at. a) sell an asset (Hazard) and increase cash in the bank of the club or b) keep the asset to maximise value of existing squad. If a, then I wouldn't be surprised to see a lower price come in and be accepted.

He doesn’t replace Hazard’s creativity, in style of play, assists, goals scored or any other way whatsoever. Unless you’re retarded
 
According to the Daily Echo, we want 20 mill £ for Ings and Crystal Palace are interested. Good old Palace.

If the no signing rumours are true, keeper and CF looks fucked.
But then we knew that and being saying it for years. Along with DM. At least we got one of those finally
 
I'd be fine with Mane or Salah playing through the middle of necessary. Ox or Shakira replacing them in the wide forward position.

I don't like our center back options either, I wonder if Joemez gets some games there this season?

Salah can play in the CF role, Shaqiri can play in the WF role, Brewster is earmarked for some game time at CF.

Wasn’t Fekir supposed to be able to play in the CF and AM positions as well.

You’ve ignored Solanke - although he might still have a role to play.

We also aren’t sure where we stand with Sturridge & Origi - unlike Ings, there’s been no chatter of where they’re off to.

Absolutely need a keeper - but I think that’s reasonably balanced elsewhere (if Fekir signs).

Solanke and Brewster. Also WF Woodburn
 
Nah, I still think he has a chance but its dependent on how he performs this season.
He has to be a stand out in the Championship.
 
If he does thats the end of the road for him here I think. He's 21 now. Its now or never for him.

They just gave him another new contract so I doubt they're giving up on him. Basically he needs to have a stellar season and then a decision will probably be made next summer.
