Milan 17,956 Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 As expected, Eden has just announced his retirement. Just 32 years. Sad, I loved that fella to bits. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,904 Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Still a player I think about all the time despite him leaving years ago now. What an absolutely insane talent. It’s really sad that his horrible injury luck combined with his relaxed, “I’m not really bothered to stay in shape” attitude at Real Madrid will be the lasting memory that most people outside of Chelsea supporters will have of him. Many will forget that he was one of the 3-5 best players in the world at his peak in a blue shirt. He almost felt like a reluctant superstar who just wanted to have fun on the pitch but never really cared much about taking care of himself like a modern athlete in terms of fitness. If he was as maniacal in that aspect as other world superstars he’d still be playing at an elite level for a few more years.

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Just shows you, not very often anyone leaves here and goes on to have an exceptional career (Salah and de Bruyne aside). Shame he’s finished early but he will be comfortable in life. If he doesn’t feel the need to continue or want to why not?

He can make someone fall in love with football. I'm not 100% confident with the "ever had" part, but definetly we haven't had any attacker even close to his skills. Pulisic, Havertz, Mount, Mudryk, Madueke, Palmer.. Around 300 million spent, but there are always if-s and but-s with these players, they couldn't even tie Hazard's shoelaces. He just walked in from French league at the age of 20 and bossed from his first PL-game. No different league, different culture shit, no too young concerns, he even was brutal when out of shape. Mudryk and co has 1% of Hazard's talent and coolness. Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando 6,585 Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Yeah some of the best moves in Chelsea I saw with him. It's like Ronaldinho, for me he was the best ever but he only lasted a little while. But in that short time he lasted he did what no one else did in this planet. Hazard at Chelsea the same, I never saw someone did what he did at Chelsea. Blue Armour, Fulham Broadway, robsblubot and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldinho was more complete, but it's scary to think what they might have achieved had they had a bit more determination, and were more focused on their careers--perhaps then they'd not have been the same player though.

Hazard may have been the more entertaining, esp if you like dribbling. If I want to beat strong opposition, in a system, I know which I'd pick. 😉 Edited October 10, 2023 by robsblubot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! Stats 7,142 Posted October 10, 2023 Popular Post! Share Posted October 10, 2023 Best player I have witnessed play in a Chelsea shirt. Was a genius. So many wonderful moments. Often is asked what is his best Chelsea goal. My favourite was his second goal in the hattrick he got against Newcastle. What a goal. Goes a bit under the radar but that is as good as a goal you will get. The whole hattrick was phenomenal. The penalty which completed his hattrick was so cooly taken in that slow motion penalty style he loved. 1:23 is his second goal and my favourite one. So many joyful moments.

Hamilton 2,120 Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Got a lot of slack with the ‘hamburger incident’ in his early years over here but I always believed in him. The talent was clear, he just needed to mature a bit. And I’m so proud he did it over here! Luckily he never lost his ‘playful’ attitude, it made him the player he became and the reason why he was a joy to watch. So thank you Eden for all these great moments in our beloved blue jersey!
