Hazard is worth every penny of that, especially given his age (as 'loin has pointed out) - one of the top players in Premiership. Terry is on £150k there and Rooney is on £300k ffs.
Securing that contract is in both parties interest - it means that even if he does leave in the next couple of years, both of them are going to cash in big time.

@jaw was going to add Matic to my list but wasn't sure how much he'd solidified your midfield.

So I'm assuming that Hazard has supplanted Oscar as the player most likely to make something happen when you need it?

Last season called; it wants it's obvious observation back.

It's?
OH DAN.

OH DEAR.

Oscar was very good on Saturday. He's going unnoticed because he does things so well. I'd say that we have the best midfield in the league and arguably one of the more balanced ones. There will be no excuses for not winning the league this year. Simply put, if Chelsea don't win the league than something has gone badly wrong.
Can't wait for the big games to come and prove me wrong.

Oh, jaw...

Fuck off Schick. That was my stupid phone autocorrect FTR.

ur the new @cornelius_blackfoot

Such weak trolling, Tiny Tim. Does that make you the new MikeC?

ur the new @cornelius_blackfoot

so then what's up to the old one?

I think Chelsea have the 2nd best midfield in the world.

I went there.

Whoah there.

Who is 1st and 3rd then?

Munich is 1st
Barcelona is 3rd

No Real Madrid? Would put Barcelona above Chelsea a well. Rakitic seems to have slotted in rather well.

Looking forward to another Famous European Night™ at Anfield.

The opposition can't let themselves be overawed by the atmosphere etc etc

There'll be plenty of sofa wetting in the backstreets of Barnet tonight...

Much worries about tonight...

I think you'll get beat but still eventually go through.

It's been a while, Fest...

This is not ping-pong in the park...

Marcelinho is well tidy. Speedie with the ball at his feet.

Got to admit, I don't recognise a lot of these players. It does feel like we're now doing a Spurs.

I just hope that we don't fall too far back before anything gels....

Miglonet is an accident waiting to happen....

Is there an echo?

Sterling, Hendo, Gerrard and the keeper are the only constants.

You've looked lively though, it's not that disjointed.
