Bosnian Blue 2,471 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 So if we sign him, that must mean the end of Sturridge at Chelsea?No.That would happen if we sign Hulk or somebody who's similar to Sturridge.With Hazard Mata can move to a number 10 position and Danny and Eden could rotate on the wings.Sturridge --- Mata ---- Hazard------------- Torres --------------He can also provide flexibility so the team can play 4-4-2. Studge joins Torres upfront and the other move to wide positions.edit: Sh0n3x already explained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

termninja 5,290 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 edit: Sh0n3x already explained. fast fingers But not only that, Eden has that potential to be the best player in the world. He's just special. Atm he is the last available player of that quality and affordability and we lack players who use their right leg. He's not only a typical winger, he is also very technically gifted like Mata and just imagining the 2 of them in 1 team is... :eyebrows:I said it for Mata and I'll say it for Eden. He would be a very very good transfer if it happened, though I am not sure on how much our club is onto him and how much on Kevin de Bryune.Time will show I guess. One thing is certain though, Kalou, Malouda and Anelka will be leaving us very soon and we will need wingers. Why not bring the best one around?

Has the potential to become world-class in a few seasons.Would have liked to see his skills on show for Belgium at Euro 2012...sadly, that won't be happening. Whats his current value in the transfer market?I'd be guessing anywhere between 20 - 25 million..and if thats the case, let's get him before Liverpool/Juventus make their move.

Term-X 7,891 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Hazard is one of the most sought after players in world football, he will most likely cost more than Mata. What on earth makes you think he would be merely 'rotating' with Sturridge?. Mata won't become a permanent number 10 just to accommodate Hazard, it simply won’t happen. Hazard’s arrival would see Sturridge become the ‘Anelka’ of Chelsea. The odd game here and there, certainly not a first team player in AVB’s ‘signature’ 4-3-3.

Spike 12,049 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Hazard is very similar to Iniesta, except Hazard seems to be a more consistent goal scorer.They can both play on the Wings like the best but they prefer to be a CAM that can dribble through the middle.

TacticalBlues 2,817 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 He's similar to Mata. This transfer doesn't make sense.Maybe talent wise yes, but their styles aren't that similar - yes their both very creative and technically gifted, but Hazard is more explosive and frightens defenders with his speed and dribbles - almost a perfect example of a synthesis of Messi and Ronaldo. Mata is more like Zola and Silva, somebody who can pick the locks and is very very creative. We were saying we finally have someone to replace Robben, in Mata - but Hazard is more his style player. Having the both of them in the team would be bloody immense, their styles would really complement each other well and Torres would certainly thrive even more so with the services that both Mata and Hazard would provide.

It's time to assemble a squad of young players who can grow together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 He's a very promising talent,no doubt, but I'm just thinking that he might be a very expensive gamble; Not all players in the french league can cope with the EPL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atholy 1,293 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Not all players in the french league can cope with the EPL.Here's a good video to answer your question imo.This video is a compilation of his match against the scousers last year.I like this video because it shows more or less ALL eden's touches that game. Not your typical: "amazing skills or goals compilation" but just the real thing. Gives a good impression of what you can expect he would bring to the bridge.Although Hazard wouldn't be Hazard if he didn't pull of a trick or two in every game... so you might like seconds: 2.45' , 4.12' , 7.35' & 7.57' .I also read a lot of posts where people are doubting which position he plays... I think this video gives a clear answer to that question!He starts as a left or right winger. But you will find him almost anywhere on the pitch the next 90 minutes . This is the case in practically every game I've seen from him.BTW he actually scored two goals that night AND should have been rewarded a penalty kick.Ready for the EPL? He owed the scousers on his own... and that was last year. He improved a lot since then. So yes, I think he's ready!!ps: he's playing number 26 with the yellow shoes (and the quick feet ).

Spike 12,049 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Blah, Blah, Blah.http://www.caughtoff...es-eden-hazard/http://www.football....ss1898804.shtmlI don't know why, but I feel really confident that we can sign him.Liverpool doesn't have the allure of guaranteed CL.Arsenal is a sinking ship and probably can't afford it.Manchester City and Real Madrid are packed and don't need him.Barcelona don't need him, they already havce the best Attack in the world and don't need to bolster it at all. Defence will take priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax 9,219 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Manchester City and Real Madrid are packed and don't need him.Since when has that stopped those two from stockpiling players though?......I'm not convinced we're after him tbh, their coach mentioned us but dropping Chelsea's name is often a tactic to increase the price.

I think right now we are focusing mainly on Luka Modric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francozola 2,040 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Normally I wouldn't have thought that we'd actually end up getting him, but the signing of Mata has made me more optimistic about the way we handle transfers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
