For some reason reports like the ones analyzing Hazard’s departure will not stop seeing the light of day. Why would anyone really believe he or any other player who is part of the starting eleven will leave this January is beyond me. Some have gone as far as to create massive scenarios, most of them including a series of swaps between the Blues and Real Madrid, swaps destined to bring in Bale to Stamford Bridge and have Hazard replace Ronaldo. Most recently, Metro even reported that Courtois and Diego Costa could be leaving to PSG, which, again, is something that will likely never happen.

The latest news to dismiss, again when it comes to this particular transfer window, is Oscar’s departure to Juventus. The Brazilian looks a bit out of touch but not to the extent of seeing him give up and say goodbye. He has always been a interesting character, sometimes reminding us of Kaka. Life in London might be a bit too much for the midfielder who could be tempted by Juventus who are rumored to be on the prowl for some creativity. Again, nothing is expected to actually happen right now. If something does go down, it will go down during the summer when negotiations will be more serious.

Out of all the rumors that have hit the news these past few days, one has turned out to be true. Disappointed with how little time he spent on the pitch, Papy Djilobodji is moving on a loan deal to Werder Bremen. According to the Daily Mirror, the Germans admitted to be in contact with the defender who was seen as a solution for this season. Mourinho’s departure cut his chances of becoming a team regular and increased his chances of leaving. The center-back is under contract with Chelsea until 2019 and is very likely to spend several months with other clubs starting with Werder just as Lukaku did before leaving for good.
