🇧🇪 Eden Hazard

[ulsterchelsea 3,221]

Who are the champions of Europe? We are. You guys are clutching at straws. He wouldnt refer to United as champions of Europe because they aint, they were in 2008 but not anymore.

this champions league winners 2008 theory is the most ridiculous thing I've heard in ages. He's coming here and he will do his medical and interviews in or around the England game. Put your house on it.

[Blue Traveler 256]

He said he was joining the champions league winners, if he does mean 2008 then he is a mong and a half. Im 100% sure he means Chelsea.

yes but he has to be aware that everyone's believes he's coming to us and media's been reporting it since the tweet...

also media spoke with his father who obviously would've known about it and didn't retract anything..

You're probably right but anything could happen! He could say i meant ManU!! they were champs of europe! Hopefully not but till it's not official anything is possible! altough i try to see bright side and that....!

[HNKS 508]

Listen mate. I want this to be a done deal as much as the next Chelsea fan. All that I'm saying is though, he CAN still change his mind and there is always that possibility until he has signed along the dotted line at the bottom of his new CFC contract. I would hate to see him do that and all of us beloved Blues crash down to Earth with an almighty thump!

If he does change his mind this late into it then I'd be happy he aint joining us.

[ulsterchelsea 3,221]

If I'm not being paranoid in any way here, calling us 'Champions of Europe' or 'Champions League winner' has a nicer ring to it.

of course it is ALMOST LIKE IT WAS SCRIPTED

[Waterfall 893]

His coach and teammates already mentioned our name and wished him luck at Chelsea. RELAX

Nope, he said champions league winner. United won in 2008. He is definitely going to City.

[Blue Traveler 256]

Ok let's talk about man crushes! i'm heterosexual BTW!

[Waterfall 893]

Nope, he said champions league winner. United won in 2008. He is definitely going to City.

His COACH and TEAMMATES did.

[HNKS 508]

His COACH and TEAMMATES did.

I was ridiculing the idea of champions league winner meaning united. I agree with your point, relax dude.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Lol. If he wasn't going to Chelsea i am 150% sure his agent, or even Chelsea would have denied it already.

[Blue Traveler 256]

Sarcasm!!!

Nobody is home. Everyone have gone for a holiday. Gourlay is probably sunbathing himself at the Malibu beach right now.

[Superblue 6,372]

Whether he comes or not, relax and bask in the great feeling of being champions of europe for at least a whole year

[Sheva. 5,373]

there's the usual 'Chelsea representative' he/she is always available.

[Wavy Crockett 190]

Nah he won't for long. I mean look at Mikel and his United history. It will happen for maybe a few minutes at club level, at the very beginning but I expect it too end quickly. If he signed for United of City the Manchester fans wouldn't let go and it'd be a whole different story. Let's not forget he doesn't dive, has always been a honest player on and off the pitch ( just a burger incident). We can have the media to blame for their demonisation of him. The interviewers would ask him what about Tottenham for example and he'd answer them with the generic rhetoric complementing each club, hence the accumulated quotes.Even earlier on SSN they talked to a french footballing expert about his apparent 'ego' and he quickly dismissed it. I've been watching him since his teens and he's always seemed like a top guy.

I dont see any reason to judge this guy's character... I mean he's 21 and the center of probably this year's biggest transfer saga...media's been at him for years and it's not very easy giving answers to exact questions...so that's probably why he's worded things like "I like team A, B and C", "I could play for them or someone other team" et cet et cet... so I agree about media (more specifically english media) being to blame here and you have to factor that most fans have REALLY wanted him to sign for their team so obviously there was going to be a lot of disappoinment as well..

regarding Mikel, found this on wikipedia "It subsequently emerged that Mikel had travelled to London with his agent John Shittu, who was working for Jerome Anderson's SEM group.^[10]"

LMAO that's the same guy being involved in the current dismantling of Blackburn Rovers

Hello everyone, I am french, I am a Lille fan, and of course, because it is now indissociable, an Eden Hazard Fan.

First i have to say congratulation for your recent european victory (Drogba... what a player !) and for this brilliant signing, you will not regret it. IMHO, but i may be biased of course, it was the best opportunity in the market window this summer.

As every LOSC fans, I have followed him for the last 6 years, and until it was 100% sure a part of me still wouldn't believe he would leave us this summer, and that i would never see him play in a LOSC jersey anymore

I came here to talk about the lad, because i'm still grieving his loss and it might seem foolish but somehow i feel the need to "pass the torch" to his lucky new fans.

I am sure that many of you do not really know him yet, and i know that youtube vids are not enough to get the potential of a player. So i don't know if you already spoke to Lille fans, but if you have any question about the lad, do not hesitate to ask.

Let me reassure you first, he is worldclass. He will probably never reach the level of Messi or Ronaldo, but i think he has the potential in him to be very close to them, and why not win a ballon d'or some day.

To be completely honest, even if this will not please you to hear this, i hoped he would choose United because i think Ferguson was the best manager for him to reach his full potential.

I also want to make a clarification : i know that during this transfer saga he sounded a bit like an arrogant prick. It's true that he himself could have handled this better, but i mostly blame the media and his very dumb agent for that. Trust me, he is NOT like this. He has NEVER been a diva in LOSC, although he easily could have been considering his superiority comparing to his partners. He always abides to the coach's rules, and is very well loved among his partners. I don't know about his personal life, but on the field he has never been selfish (his 20 assists this season prove it) or put his interest above the club's.

The only thing he can be blamed for as a player, is his lazyness during training, which he really doesn't like. That'll be IMO the thing he will have to work on if he wants to succeed in the Premier League.

So please do not let yourself influence by this first impression you had during this transfer saga.

I have a few questions myself :

Do you know exactly the amount of the transfer fee ? In France they are talking about 40m euros but there are no official sources concerning this number.

Who is likely to be your new manager ? Will Roman keep Di Matteo ? I want to know who will have the honor to make of our Eden one of the best players in the world....

Do you know if the club will loan some players this summer ? I am thinking about Kevin De Bruyne of course, it is said that our manager is interested by his profile....

And if so, do you think the fact we sold you Eden will give us the lead ?

Some things you probably didn't know about Hazard :

Not only he is a great winger (he won a ligue 1 title and ligue 1 best player of the year award playing in that position), but when Rudi Garcia, for the need of the team, put him in a midfielfer position (due to the departure of Cabaye and his poor choice as replacement) he didn't complain at all and took fully the lead of the game, becoming even more decisive than before.

For the third year in a row, he is the most fouled player in ligue 1, even in all five major championships this year. And this season 11 of these fouls were made in the box, making him the player that prokoked the more penalties (same as Messi).

Despite this, he has never been injured in his carreer ! And also he never lost his temper because he simply doesn't know what it's like to get a red card ! Never happened in his life ! That is completely unreal but the bloke seems unbreakable. In fact he played the last 109 matches of ligue 1, didn't miss any ! This makes him the current recordman of the most consecutive ligue 1 games (a record soon to be broken by our goalkeeper Mickael Landreau, in october if all goes well for him).

That's all for now. See you

[xPetrCechx 13,571]

If our Chelsea TV news talked about him, so he is ours.

like with AVB, they talked about him for 2-3 times and then he signed.

I have a few questions myself :

Do you know exactly the amount of the transfer fee ? In France they are talking about 40m euros but there are no official sources concerning this number. 32-40.

Who is likely to be your new manager ? Will Roman keep Di Matteo ? I want to know who will have the honor to make of our Eden one of the best players in the world.... Or Di matteo or Pep. i think that di matteo will stay.

Do you know if the club will loan some players this summer ? I am thinking about Kevin De Bruyne of course, it is said the our manager is interested by his profile..Maybe lukaku.

And if so, do you think the fact we sold you Eden will give us the lead ? i don't think so.

welcome Hkibou

[Blue Traveler 256]

I'm begining to worry about this "the most fouled player" thing. I not sure he can escape it if he come to PL! just look at Peter Cech head! JT and Drogba concissions! and all of them are big lads! but if Mata can survive he probably could!
