Stingray

Well - i loved this forum years ago and stayed away due to personal issues. I loved it and liked to rock the pub (the oldies know lol). Who is still here from the old days when we even won a match due to the qualities of the banter on here 😞 
 
choulo - Alex - my brazilian friend (I forgot your Nick) where are you guys?

Fake news i guess. In Belgium Hazard has said nothing but respectful things about chelsea and even didnt say a single word about madrid. I found him thoroughly discrete for a footballer tbh. And i respect that. God, i will miss him at my chels .... [emoji22]

Some absolutely bizarre comments in this thread.

Hazard when asked if he regrets not joining Madrid sooner?
Hazard: "On a personal level, I was really happy at Chelsea. It was special. Watching those Chelsea videos earlier was very emotional. I do not regret leaving Chelsea sooner".

Hazard leaving is even bigger win for our PL rivals than for Real. Now there isnt a single player in Chelsea they would be shitting their pants. Even Arse had Alexis.

I know its not directed at me, but thats hardly comparable.
Relationship is love and all that shit, this is business. You dont pay your girl to be with you.
It would be weird if ex got with someone else just few weeks after 7 years together. Eden kissing the badge is nothing because he always said thats his dream. 
I mean we all know Eden isnt loyal to us anymore or true blue. That was obvious the moment he signed for Real instead of extending with Chelsea. But people realise that just now when he is kissing the badge?
Regardless, that doesnt change his legacy here and sort of legendary status. He is always welcome back eventualy.

Oh, Hazard I will miss you. I don't disagree with the move but it doesn't mean I have to approve. England is conquered, the ever consumate professional hungers for new challenges and to step out of a comfort zone is difficult and admirable. 

Sorry, but not sure why we need to take parting swipes at players who gave their best and achieved a lot at the club. Hazard was loyal to Chelsea throughout his time here. If someone brings up his media comments to suggest that it seriously impacted our games, I'll just laugh.
How about.. just say thank you and move on, if theres nothing better to say?
I hope Chelsea does well. I hope he does well. If Chelsea meets Madrid, I hope we kick their arse. That's it.

Hazard improving in a more attacking side is just logical. Sure it's a hypothetical because he hasn't left us for one (yet) but it's based on logic. A more attacking side + more quality will no doubt help attacking players.
Especially if they've been playing for one of the most pragmatic top teams in the world before and still managed to perform at a high level.
 
.Because Hazard doesn't have a release clause. Hazard is our best player. Aslong as Hazard isn't pushing for a move himself i don't think we could be persuaded to sell for any kind of money. 
 
Now why hasn't he pushed for a move himself ? Well there are a number of reasons.
His personality is one. He's a laid back, family man type of guy. He's not a money grabbing a'hole. He's not a diva looking to be in the spotlights all the time.
There's also the fact that even if he'd push for the move it would still take a considerable amount of money to make it happen. Most teams don't have the money to buy Hazard.
He's also not interested in leaving to any other club but Real or Barcelona.(mostly Real though) PSG have been wanting Hazard for years but Hazard himself doesn't want to go back to the french league. 
The german and Italian leagues don't interest him at all. 
So the amount of clubs that can afford him and that Hazard would want to go to are just 2.
People can complain about wanting Hazard to be more ambitious but if Hazard were more ambitious i don't think he would have stayed with us for as long as he has.
About it affecting his game. Look people have different personalities. Not every football player in the world has to be as driven as Ronaldo to succeed. 
Hazard is who he is. His primary goal is to enjoy his football (his life). Considering he's making millions and is widely viewed as one of the top players in the world i'd say it's working for him.
 
Have you actually been watching us ? During and since the European Cup KDB has been the one who's been subdued while Hazard has been the one that performs.
KDB is actually going through a considerable goal drought for our NT. The last time he scored dates back to the 26th of march 2016 against Switserland before the EC.
20 games without a goal.  Hazard on the other hand has 8 goals and 9 assists in 16 games since the EC (including the EC)
 

OMG! LOOK WHO'S BACK!!

Told you so .... years ago. [emoji317]

Fake opinion. Period. We should be happy to have class like him here. Did you forget what he brought here the last couple of years? Titles, mom-es, player of the year, etc? He is world class, has a great group mentality, etc. I think you rather have him be a egomaniac psychopath. This is not Real.

I told you guys he was good [emoji48]


He is not Hazard, but 90% so in striker potential.

I was banned for three weeks recently which is why I have not been active recently. The ban only finished yesterday. What happened was that in one the youth player's section, which had been left in the Matthew Harding Thread for months on end, I had been requesting for months for it to be moved to the correct player's section and no one ever moved it till last month when my request was finally listened to and Jason moved it. In my last comment I referred to the mods as clowns which was not said in any rude purpose. It was simple banter and sarcasm from my side. Special Juan decides to ban me for it because I was being a nusiance and had a bad attitude. Now, what pisses me off is that the only people being a nusiance was the mods because they are the ones who took so long to move it. Jason replied to me and told me to stop being a "whiny little bitch" which I had no problem with. Actually found it quite funny
Anyway, Jason a respected mod, does not see anything offensive about my post and moves on. SJ who is the only person who has a real issue with me, decides over a week later to ban me. This is unfair. One it was a ridiculous reason and he is using his personal hatred towards me to try get rid off me. It is weird he is the only mod who has a real issue with me and consistently looks to ban me. This is exactly how he was with DidierForever. I know he was a nusiance but even DF himself used to complain about Special Juan. SJ had an issue with him and took it with him personally. I mean for example I remember when DF was mentioning how because of SJ being a mod and so on, he inboxed him asking him a question and was ignored. Yes, SJ did not like him but as a mod you have the duty of being fair with everyone and doing your role properly which means replying when people ask you questions.
When you look at the nature I was banned form the reason was utterly pathetic. I have missed 3 weeks of being in discussions about my favourite team because of a prejudiced mod who dislikes me and is on a personal mission to get rid off me. I have seen enough of SJ in particular of where he used his power as mod unfairly. Why is it him I only seem to have a real problem with?
I constantly tried to get in contact with the forum administrators during the ban and got no reply at all for why I am writing this here. It is a shame because I actually love this froum but while mods like this are in charge, I just will not put up with staying on this forum knowing one person is intent on getting rid off me. I try to be a valuable member of this forum all the time by contributing with good debatable points and opinions and I think others would agree but it seems like mods actions can not be reviewed and I just don't want to be part of that if that is the case.
You can't seem to appeal bans, suspensions or whatever. Anyway, like I said have sent messages to the forum admins during the ban and got no correspondence whatsoever again which irritated me. For those who actually value my posts, thanks and nice to have great interaction but just feel this feedback had to be given because I have had enough with the standards of people or a certain mod in particular.

So you're forgetting about Hazard's performances at Lille and everything he achieved there?
Oh, and the HUGE difference is that Neymar, Suarez and Lewandowski were signed by Barcelona and Bayern Munich - two of the 3 elite teams in European football. Lucky for some.
Am I saying Hazard is incapable of performing badly? Nope. But the reality is our team is absolute bullshit. No one single player is every going to perform consistently well in this joke of a team. Willian won player of the year last season based on about 10 decent performances and 3 fluke freekicks ffs.
