Ed 001 how likely is it that hazard leaves? Would you say its definite? Why would Madrid not just wait to get him on a free next season?

{Ed001's Note - they need to rebuild now, not next year and it is looking very likely right now.}

Have Chelsea been informed by hazard he will not be signing anything offered and has anything been agreed between player / clubs?

Good, sick of it.

Follow up question on that, Ed.

Seeing as Eden is responsible for I think literally half our goals in PL, who do you think the club would target to replace him? Or do you think they'll keep both Pedro en Willian and grind it out with them and Pulisic until CHO returns to fitness?

Also, getting a good striker would make up for losing him a bit as well. Do you know who might be some striker options now that Jovic seems set for Madrid?

Cheers for any input, Ed. Hope you're doing well and as always, great work on the sites, man.

{Ed001's Note - the striker I think will be the big thing, as there are a lot of potentials on loan for other positions. Depay is looking for a return to English football, but you might well have to make do with Morata if the situation is not sorted.}

The problem with that is morata really doesn’t want to be at Chelsea.

Matt, did he tell you that personally?

Oh god, it was pretty obvious he didn’t want to be here, the man look miserable and more time on the floor and lacked effort at end. Also told Simone he would join him at athletico as soon as he could, do you think he wants to come back then?

If Morata was happy and hot things straight in his head he'd be terrific.
Alas, we haven't seen that yet.

I'm thinking Martial or Jesus would be worth a punt, as well as Lyon's Moussa Dembélé. You think they'd fit Sarri's ideas, Ed?

{Ed001's Note - no, I don't think any of those can hold up the ball and bring others into play. Jesus is simply not good enough anyway.}

Hard to find a guy that's both mobile and good at hold up play.

Our strikers right now are pretty good at hold up, but they're slow. That really hinders their effectiveness. How I wish Jovic was possible.

I'd actually give Tammy a chance, but Ed002 has alluded to him being sold in the summer. That'd be a big shame in my opinion. He'd explode in Bundesliga if he were to move to Leipzig.

Piatek fitted that. Mobile and hold up and jovic too, why we got Higuain when he was clearly available didn’t make sense, and jovic seems Madrid bound, Milik maybe as injury free this season and scoring and Sarri signing st Napoli, I like Werner, wide forward type and can play down middle, but if teams just sat deep he wouldn’t be suited as much, list of strikers possible. Maxi Gomez, zapata, Werner, milik, Cutrone ( not for me personally ) lukaku ( doubtful as history and certain person at club doesn’t want him ) Bertrand Traore, eds. who’s the next aguero / tevez type striker, fiery fast goalscorers from South America?

{Ed002's Note - Facundo Colidio apparently.}

There's been various rumours all week the ban is set to be frozen which is what we deserve. If we can keep RLC fit we probably have 10 goals a season from midfield which is what we've missed since Frank. We need to get rid of Willian for a decent fee and aim for Pepe or a winger who scores and assists like Eden. Id even try for Sane if he'snot happy at City and build our future around him. We need to move heaven and earth for Jovic he's the next up and coming class striker. If Eden is off to Madrid we should agree a deal that we'll sell if they stay away from Jovic. Jovic and Pepe will never replace Hazard talent wise but they will make us a better team again.

I have posted some time ago that I’m told we will not be unhappy with the striker we are trying to sign.

Having seen how the Ed’s get pelters if they name a target and it doesn’t happen. I’ve decided that job isn’t for me thanks.

Can't blame you on that one.
