🇧🇪 Eden Hazard

[Gilvorak 3,734]

We go as Hazard goes. Top 4 is still a possibility if he maintains this sort of form. Just needs a goal now, would've scored today if we had a striker that could pass.

[Barbara 15,149]

at least this thread I expected to be more lively... I guess the joke is on me.

He was amazing today, what we got used to in the last couple of seasons - especially the last one.

I hope he's here to stay.

[iseah100 5,612]

How was he today?

[MefiX19 1,092]

How was he today?

Like last year.

He's a traitor, he doesn't care, he wants to go to Real Madrid in abysmal form.

haven't read the last 50 pages or so of this thread, but really, have people been speculating he's on this slump on purpose, sabotaging the club and not giving a fuck? So now it makes sense why this thread is also very quiet. I give up on this place. It's just hopeless.

I still think he's gone next summer. Madrid are a shambles and Hazard is the ideal replacement for the tap in merchant. Zidane will specifically target him.

A traitor lol, the guy is having the most difficult time he ever had in his career and you label him as a traitor?

Like Barbara said, this place is hopeless

I don't think that's been the case but there was constant talk of his mind being in Madrid and that he didn't care. When the revolt rumours popped up, he was the #1 suspect as the ring leader. Not even a suspect anymore, he was already guilty. Funny how those rumours have died down so quickly. You'd think such mutiny would have devastating effects.

Amazing what poor form, the most natural aspect of anyone's career, after three strong seasons can do to people. Hazard has been a top performer for 5/6 years, going from level to level. A slump was always going to happen.

I think you're wrong. I hope you're wrong.

most of all, he has had so little rest in those seasons here (can't say about his time at Lille), there's only so much lack of proper rest one can get away with.

Also, he's still developing, he's young (although not that much yet, but I feel we lost the referential when so many kids break so early - Neymar already has 250 goals for club and NT and that's insane when you're 23), so I think the slump is even more normal.

I have no doubt he might dream in playing in one of the very top teams. That's normal for any ambitious player. As good and big as Chelsea have become, we aren't on the same level as Real, Barça and Bayern in terms of size and appeal. So while I won't be surprised if he leaves to RM someday, I hope he stays for as long as possible.

Completely agree. I never thought Hazard would finish his career in Blue. Bar the English, anyone can leave at any time. That's why I never understand the 'signing for the next 10 years' comments.

But like you said, I hope he stays for a very long time. The great thing about the Hazard situation for us is the fact that he's a father and husband. He might stay longer than even I imagined because you don't just pack up and leave with a family.

[Jase 43,479]

STOP JINXING IT!

The club statement should have buoyed him up and hes due a good one.

Ok, just for you jason, hes going to be shit. Happy ?

It's not just the family though. Would Hazard want to deal with all those silly pressure and political conflict at Madrid? Joining them might be a fanciful thing but the minute you don't play well - even if you have contributed a lot in the past - you will get booed and even abused by the fans. Says a lot when even Ronaldo got whistled by the crowd in the El Clasico today. Does he want to play in that kind of environment?

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

Wonderful today.

Will need him to put in a Herculean effort Next week against Tottenham.

Told you, you big pussy sniffer

we have all the power, we dont need to sell him, we arent desperate for money, and i cant see Hazard handing in a transfer request and demanding to be sold, even if he does do that we still dont have to sell, if the club want him to stay he will, there is no doubt about that.

Also true. Not to forget a transfer to Real means you're almost guaranteed another move within five years. Not many last at Real.

We MUST never sell Hazard .. he could make a perfect LB or even a RB after Brana

Eden Hazard plays down talk of #cfc exit and confirms faith in Jose Mourinho

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/competitions/premier-league/12010564/Chelsea-transfer-news-Eden-Hazard-plays-down-talk-of-summer-exit-and-confirms-faith-in-Jose-Mourinho.html

“We spoke together before the Stoke [Capital One Cup] game,” said Hazard. “I said to him ‘Maybe we have to try something, to change something. Maybe I have to play at No10 because we have to try’. We did and I played a very good game in the cup in Stoke. And, against Norwich, it was the same. I don't know if I have to play every game as a No10. I just want to play.

“I like playing No10, but I'll play as a left winger too. I just want to be on the pitch. It doesn't matter whether that's in the middle or on the flanks. It doesn't matter.

“When I was young I played as a No10. Sometimes there is more freedom there. Sometimes not. When you play against compact teams, like Norwich, it's difficult to find space. But we have good players and they know how to move and when to pass the ball.
