laeth 527 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Yep."There has been no official approach from Chelsea"He always says that. If he then says "he's an interesting player" yada, yada, yada - then we know something happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he then says "he's an interesting player" yada, yada, yada - then we know something happening.Well, I knew he was gonna say it. We haven't sent any official bid meaning there has been no offical approach. On the other hand, Eden Hazard is probably one of the players we are checking the most. We could have contacted Lille and talked with them about Eden. How much money you want? Does he want to come? Loan back? bla bla blaOf course, it could be a completely made up story, but we are probably trying to get the feel of situation with Lille before sending any bids.

Joshyboy 36 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I'm all for this one but where would he play? In our 4-3-3 the closest thing we've got to his favored attacking midfielder position is the wingers and I think we've got pretty solid first XI wingers in Mata and Danny, I'm not saying he couldn't drop to central midfield but I'm not sure that he'd be as effective. I can't see him opting to go to Real Madrid, he wouldn't have many chances to push for a first XI spot with Ozil and Kaka playing in the same position and the two wide roles occupied by Ronaldo and Di Maria, I really hope for his careers sake he doesn't go to Serie A so I think the Premier League interests are probably going to be the most appealing to him so I'd say that gives us a bloody good chance in the running for his signature.

Ummm dude.....Hazard is a winger...not a CAM....he can play there but his preferred position is in the wings and that's where he's best. If he came here he would play in the left wing and Mata would play as a CAM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo 21,751 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 No such thing as a first Xl any more, as we have found out this season and especially last season it's a squad game these days, we could have the best ever starting lineup but if we had no depth we still would win nothing.Im hoping for a Hazard, Mata and Danny front 3 in the big games if he comes, all flexible and can move around and cofuse the hell out of opposition and add that to Ramires running in behind.

If he came here he would play in the left wing and Mata would play as a CAMI'm 90% certain Hazard's prefered position is a CAM but since Lille play a 4-3-3 hes playing out on the wing, similar to Mata, so the same as Mata he's given freedom to roam inside and hes at his most effective on the inside pulling the strings, and playing in a 4-3-3 we don't have a CAM position we could have a more advanced CM playing between the lines but that effectively leaves us with two deep midfielders making the formation a 4-2-3-1, so again, I can't really see where he'd slot in.

He can play both LW and RW so it would give us options as if he plays on the left Mata can become our CAM and if Hazard plays on the right Sturridge plays as our CF and it also leaves room to get a CAM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshyboy 36 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 One last time ....Eden Hazard (born 7 January 1991) is a Belgian international footballer who currently plays for French club Lille in Ligue 1 and the Belgium national team. He primarily plays as an attacking midfielder and a winger.Same as Juan Mata, hes an attacking midfielder who plays as a winger, simples.

And IMO hazard is the type of winger we need. Speedy, skillful, trickery, can use both feet, can run down the flanks but also drift inside. Perfect for what we need. He can develop a brilliant partnership with Mata. Hazard is a winger first and foremost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
