I genuinely believe Costa and Fabregas have just been off-form, and have been brought down by the dreadful displays and lack of effort from Oscar, Hazard and Matic - the three rats. Willian has been outstanding but let's face it he's not ronaldo.

Not sure about Costa.. I dont know. The way he threw his bib towards Mourinho in that just said to me that he didnt respect Mourinho at all. Fabregas has always been slow. He had the same problems last year. I believe Hazard Oscar and Costa were the problem players.

Can I just add that Oscar is an absolute disgrace. Plays absolute rubbish all season, no effort, slow passing, barely any closing down. Then the game after Jose is sacked decides he wants to run the game putting in an Iniesta-esque performance, and has the audacity to hit the badge after he scored the penalty.

This coming from arguably our most important player in the number 10. If he decides he doesn't care then as a team we are fecked. No pressing, no quick passing. Oscar is a disgrace and the ultimate rat.

I hope he knows how much the fans hate him the little twaat.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Probably not. The fans decided to give him a standing ovation for some reason despite three years of mainly shat performances.

The sooner he's out of Chelsea FC the better. Just looking at his butter wouldn't melt face annoys me these days.

Pedro isn't a rat but he needs to go this summer, just hasn't happened for him and we must have an absolute desperate lack of options in the squad if he's starting every game.

Hazard looks like he'd rather be anywhere else so hopefully we get top dollar for him. As for Costa I really wouldn't be at all sad to see him go. Tired of him wanting to fight everyone and all the antics. We could do so much better as well.

I'd say he was one of the main culprits. He started the season overweight, played rubbish right from august til Jose got sacked and even then Jose dropped him from the team last then that bib throwing incident. No excuses. Should be sold.

Agreed Mr C. The bib throwing was a disgrace as far as I'm concerned. Think he wants to go back to Spain anyway which is fine with me.

Why so eager to get rid of Costa could have made similar arguments against Drogba all those years ago

Yes he's temperamental but he has shown that under the right manager he can buckle down. Just don't think we should be so quick to chade out our best striker since Drogba in the double winning campaign

Just don't think we should be so quick to chase out our best striker since Drogba

---------------------------------------------------

Not much of a compliment when you consider that we've only had Torres in that time.

I just want a very good, non controversial striker who can score goals and isn't totally dependent on good service to do that.

Doesn't have to be a big name even. Someone like Ighalo would be really good I think and wouldn't cost the earth either.

How are we going to replace all these players you want to ditch?

Even in the bib incident Costa showed that he wanted to play and help the team. Maybe he showed it in the wrong way but the passion was there.

He was obviously frustrated at that time with nobody creating for him. Hence the runs outside the box to get the ball. I can understand his frustration if he felt he was being picked on.

We aren't going to get a better first choice striker in this current predicament. Costa has to stay.

Okay, but who fitting that bill are we going to be luring come the summer with no CL football?

I think it would be very premature to kick Costa out at this point

Courtois
Azpi Stones Zouma LB/Rahman
Kante Fabregas
Willian Isco Hazard
Costa

That would do me. If hazard goes then I dunno who's gonna replace him.

Also to add I don't think we will get stones. I think Jose was a major pulling factor in that deal whom we have now lost

Think Stones is something of a paper tiger, would love to see us work out a deal for Varane if Hazard goes there though

Possibly Mahrez to replace hazard? Could do a raid on Leicester like we did to Atletico a couple years back

I think we'd be bonkers to spend crazy money raiding Leicester for their best players, as much as anything that outfit is built on a fantastic team spirit

Also, will it last? People were saying these about Michu 2 years ago. And what about that Geovanni guy on Hull all those years back

Mikel, Oscar, Ivanovic, Remy, Pedro all out.

Is this aimed at me ? Well I've mentioned four players who I think need to go this summer and last time I checked four players leaving the club in the transfer window isn't out of the ordinary.

Hopefully we'll get big bucks for Hazard and should get at least decent/good money for the other three. At least £100 million for all four at a conservative estimate.

If the club can't use that money to bring in at least four good players to replace them then there's something very wrong.

Mahrez would be a fantastic signing I think and very worthy replacement for Hazard

Varane + a large lump sum for Hazard would be a good deal for us imo

I'd keep Matic. On form he is the best DM in the league and I think he just really needs a good rest. Rotate him plenty with Mikel for the rest of the season and I'm sure he'll be fine by the beginning of next season.

Yeah as bad as Matic has been this season I'd keep him as well. We can't change our entire squad in one transfer window anyway and if we're already getting rid of Hazard, Costa, Oscar, Pedro and maybe Ramires as well then a line needs to be drawn somewhere I suppose.

Keep him as a decent squad player and if he's still crap next season then obviously sell. Hopefully we'll see an improvement though.

Would you really sell Pedro so quickly? Especially if you're getting rid of Hazard and Oscar, who I would sell. I feel like that would be getting rid of too many AMs plus Pedro may do better if given more time to settle.

Pedro has looked awful. His signing was a mistake. Coming from Barcelona he seems to have awful control and passing too.
