That made me hard.

I've noticed Hazard use his left foot quite a bit (he's right-footed), and it really is quite superb that he's so comfortable on his weaker side at such a young age. When he arrives, I'm going to jizz allllll over his face.

This isn't a joke - Can someone please change Fernando Torres' Wikipedia picture please? I'm hopeless at using Wiki, but I hate Torres' picture. It's from when he was at his absolute worst with us, and he looks like a school boy lost on a school trip. He couldn't look more awkward in it. A picture with him smiling or celebrating would be nice. Also, new pics for Ivanovic, Romeu, Malouda,Meireles, Cahill and Bertrand would be superb too. I'm aware this is an odd request.

Manchester United fans before, when they thought they were signing him: "New Cristiano Ronaldo!! Sign him up Fergie!!" Manchester United fans after, when he declares he'll be a Chelsea boy: "He's overrated anyway. Kagawa is better!! Look at the stats!!" ]Now,seriously - As for as stats go, they're comparing two completely different players. A winger, Hazard, whose job it is to assist, with Kagawa, an attacking midfielder, who plays directly in front of goal, whose job it is to score + assist. He's also around two years older, playing in possibly the best Borussia Dortmund team ever. What an odd bunch Manchester United fans are.

We need to start doing what Barcelona do. Expand our squad with quality players, and around 2 youth players plus 2 fringe players on the verge of becoming more regular players. What they do is, they field their strongest XI when against pretty much anyone in the top half of the table, but when facing a team like Villarreal last season (the equivalent of say, Bolton), they would field Tello and Cuenca on the wings, their star player Messi down the centre so that they could still get goals, Montoya at right back as he's coming through, a squad player at left back like Adriano so that their top left back can rest, a strong centre-back pairing to not allow any silly goals in, and then one of their experienced midfielders to calm things down for the young ones, such as Xavi or Iniesta, with someone like Thiago pairing him. We could definitely do the left-back part with Bertrand/Cole, perhaps sometimes use Kane or Hutchinson at right-back, Josh I feel still needs loaned, put Lampard in midfield for experience and then occasionally use someone like Chalobah, Piazon, Baker etc, and then down the centre have Torres, with someone like Feruz on the right and Marin on the left. Ok, I'm rambling now. I'll stop. I promise. CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE BTW!!!!!!!!!!! Still hasn't sunk in.

So - Only London club to win the CL. More Premier League trophies than Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham combined. Level on Premier League trophies with Arsenal. 7 F.A. Cups. Eden Hazard chooses us over richer Manchester City, and 'more historic' Manchester United. If there was ever any doubt, I'm sure we can confidently stake our claim as perhaps the 2nd biggest club in England behind Manchester United. Sound fair?

Yeah I heard that too ^^ re. Kalou/Shalke. For what it's worth, I've heard whispers of Bosingwa joining either Sporting Lisbon or Sevilla. The rumour has absolutely no substance as far as I'm aware however.

Other forums being up and running fine when this one isn't is/isn't a problem. It simply depends on the person. It's like a quality/quantity sort of thing. This forum here is surely the undisputed king of Chelsea forums worldwide - and while other forums may be able to handle traffic better (probably because they get less of it), the traffic themselves don't get as good quality as we get here. ALL HAIL TALKCHELSEA!

Ok, IF we do actually sign Hazard, should we be considering Fellaini next? Aside from Romeu, we don't have a SINGLE natural defensive midfielder in our squad, which is worrying. Mikel doesn't exactly bully opposing midfielders like he should, and Lamps aint exactly Makelele. I think he'd be a good addition. Would get a lot of cards, but wouldn't let many players get past him.

Rumour has it he wants the number 11 kit. I can't recall a midfielder wearing 11, and, well, meh. That's just a bit of a big deal since Drogs just left.

Just read something funny from a popular Man Utd fan on Twitter - "Don't get me wrong, I'd have loved Hazard at MUFC, but if he is happy to go to an ageing CFC team with no proper manager, his choice." Ageing? Man Utd have 7 30+ year old players. We have around 5 with Drogba leaving. If Malouda leaves, then 4, I believe.

Why can't I see anyone's nationality etc. now? </3 The fuck bruh.

I have no life. I've been refreshing this page for around 2 hours. FINALLY it's working again <3 In other news - Sky Sports News for the last 2 hours: "Eden Hazard is due to reveal which club he'll be joining... any minute now."

That...hair...is...AWESOMEEEE.

C'monnn. I want this Belgian connection so much! Hazard - Lukaku - De Bruyne (Lukaku EVENTUALLY obviously. Not yet.) That, with Mata behind them, omg. Excuse me for a minute...

If Hazard doesn't choose us, can we convert this thread into a "Fuck Hazard" topic?

I also, unfortunately, believe that it'll be Manchester United. I'm pretty sure SAF has been following Hazard for around 2-3 years now, and the new wage demands being 'released' sound much more feasible for Man Utd now. They'll be selling Berbatov, so him leaving will free up the wage list a lot.

Maybe it was supposed to be an email to his family and not actually for Twitter, and his phone just messed up. Perhaps he and his family were talking about which takeaway they'll be getting tonight to celebrate his glorious season, so he simply replied - "good afternoon guys. i made up my mind. see you later. thanks" I assume he'll be getting an Indian, as they're simply the best.

I can't handle this suspense.

If we sign Hulk, can our away kit have a green top and purple shorts? And maybe have some ripped bits near the chest area?

For anyone who's interested, here are all of Eden Hazard's assists and goals for the season that just ended:

KILL IT! KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!

Cool. Now tell me - What have you accomplished in MY lifetime?

Celtic fan. Also, you haven't won the Champions League, silly boy. You won the European Cup before most of us on here were alive.

Having a worldwide fan base is something for us to be PROUD of. That's what puts the likes of us, Barcelona, Real Madrid etc. above the rest. We are not an exclusive club. We're open to all people, every nationality, ethnicity and origin. I've never heard one single Chelsea fan say that we have a proud and rich history full of glory - we all know that's untrue. We have however, had some of the greatest players to have ever been seen, and this past decade, created records which are yet to be broken and gained millions of fans who love seeing a determined team with a diverse fan base along the way. We have an owner who LOVES the club. Do you want to know a little fact? The Arsenal owners, as just one example, actually have more money than Mr. Abramovich, but other club owners only see their clubs as an investment. There's nothing that stands out from your post apart from jealousy. A jealousy which I'm sure brings a smile to the faces of all on this forum. I feel sorry for whichever club you support for having a fan like yourself. And finally, brush up on the 'history' thing before jumping on that bandwagon. FYI - Chelsea - 1st club in history to wear numbers on shorts. Chelsea - Most league point total in the history of the PL. Chelsea - Best European record vs Barcelona in history. Chelsea - Had the best Italian player to ever play in the UK. On top of that, players like Desailly, Gullit etc. have played here. They are legends of the game. Chelsea - Had possibly the greatest manager in the current game. Chelsea - Highest scoring midfielder in history in Lampard. Chelsea - Most goals ever scored in 1 season in the UK (Jimmy Greaves). Chelsea - Most PL goals in 1 match. Chelsea - Fewest goals conceded in 1 season. Chelsea - Most clean sheets in a season. Won the First Division/Premier League 4 times. Won the Second Division 2 times. Won the F.A. Cup 7 times. Won the League Cup 4 teams. Won the Community Shield 4 times. Won the Full Members Cup 2 times. Chelsea are the only London team to win the CL. Won the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup 2 times (Once against Real Madrid). Won the UEFA Super Cup 1 time. That's just a SCRATCH on Chelsea's history. Educate yourself.
