The Hazard Replacement

Hazard has once again been talking about his uncertain future. As much as I would love for Hazard to stay, I can't see him staying forever.

With that in mind, I thought we could use a thread to document who the eventual replacement is.

Dream:
Dybala
Neymar
Hudson-Odoi

Ideal:
Bailey
Lozano

Possible:
Martial
O. Dembele
Pulisic
Zaha

Wildcard:
Asensio
Thauvin
Insigne
Guedes
Jota
Richarlison

Only time will tell who we decide on.

Let him leave on a free when hes 29, I still have hope he signs a new contract.

However I'm cool with him seeing out his contract.

OK it's a bit shocking. He's contracted till June 2020, so when it might happen, January! next summer?

Out of the options, Nymer is just a cancer. Hudson-Odoi or even Bailey is too young, you will need a starting quality after all. May be Zaha will finally fulfill his potential at Chelsea, eh?

PS: You forgot about Markovic

You cannot replace him like-for-like, I think Chelsea need to sign two attacking players to possess the same attacking threat that Hazard provides. Ideally, I reckon, a striker better than Morata and a winger.

I disagree. We should absolutely get something for Hazard.

If he doesn't stay, it'll be Jan or over the summer.

I quite like Bailey and Zaha, if we could get both, it would be excellent.

That would be another option. Unless we put our faith in Batshuayi.

First off, if it happens, absolutely not for january. It would completely ruin our season.

I think Insigne is the closest thing to Hazard in world football. Obviously Hazard is better, but the playstyle are very similar. The ease with which he dribbles, his unpredictability in the plays he makes, his unselfishness and looking to involve teammates just always reminds me of Hazard.

Another player I would consider is Brandt.

Agree
Insigne best option
from what Sarri wants,at least one of his attackers to be able to receive/play between the lines,create and offer goal threat

Richarlison as a #9 would also be interesting under Sarri

Insigne would undoubtedly be Sarri's choice. I'm not sure he'd be available though.

The guy has played anything since Community Shield & Sarri clearly doesn't rate him.

Straight swap for Kariminal Benzema? Concussed goalkeepers won't see him coming. The epitome of a modern striker, who can slot perfectly in at CDM if needed. Nevermind Hazard, if you strike now, you'll have a master of hold-up play, as well as taller version of Essien, in case Kanté gets injured. At the peak of his powers, and a superiority that's backed up by the most prestigious of statistics sheets. Benzema is the french Don Corleone of football. A master of disguise, a cat in the shadows, he never misses an opportunity to hustle an unsuspecting prey. Act quickly, and get a free copy of "Valbuena gone wild" on DVD or Blu Ray.

lol

Although Benzema would be a starter up-front considering Chelsea's striker options atm.

One has made 0 goals & while the other is a bit better, he's misfiring like there's no tomorrow.

Dream in the sense that he reaches his potential, as opposed to how he currently is

Seems like Hazard still wants out. Whats worse, CHO looks like he wants out too.

Pulisic is a good addition but we still need a replacement. So we've not made any headway there.

This summer will be huge.
