Need to remember this is the same group that sought out the title in 2015. They know what it takes which is more important than anything at the moment. On regards to Hazard, ever since Fabregas has told him to be more selfish, he has now scored 5 in 5. I honestly believe next season will define him, as I hope he carries that selfishness into Europe. We already know he is a tremendous passer of the ball and technically brilliant, he just needs to be more ruthless and selfish in front of goal. That is the only thing holding him back.
I agree entirely, this summer transfer window will be the most important in recent memory, and it's a sign of relief knowing that we are already looking at players to buy considering all the rumors going about.
Our board has the tendency to think that by winning the title, papers over the cracks of the squad. 2010 and 2015 in general. After we won the double in 2010, we sold Deco, Joe Cole, and Ballack, three absolute sound midfielders and replaced them only with Ramires, a player who's technical ability isn't even half of theirs. Not to mention we failed miserably to find a decent replacement in Carvalho. It's no fucking surprise we failed to reach expectations in the 2010/11 season.
2015 showed a similar thing. We were utterly brilliant the first half the season, then looked onto relying on Hazard the 2nd half where 90% of our players didn't perform. Did our board take action in upgrading players? Did they strengthen? No. Again, the title win papered over the cracks of a squad out of ideas, and I predicted in July that we would struggle the 2016 season. We lost Cech, Drogba, Filipe Luis, whilst the same players who showed terrible form, continued on without providing any decent competition for them.
If we win the title this year and potentially the double, I pray this won't paper over any cracks and you can truly see that Conte has realised the weakness in his squad and the fact we were favored immensely by not being in Europe as well as a lack of injuries to players where we do not have any depth in. I stand by what I said that we need at least 6 signings for next season if we want to compete on all fronts.
