Eden Hazard

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

As a fan of Hazard, I hope he'd go to Barcelona rather than Real Madrid. Not a supporter of Barca by any means but that team, their mentality as well as stability would suit him much better. He would even look better in Blaugrana than in that cum-coloured shirt of the Royals. Neymar might be out of the door and out of Messi's shadow according to some pretty unreliable sources so Eden would get his place.

That being said, this day was clearly coming, we all knew it but I think Jose's tactics made him do this earlier than when it should have happened. Trying to make one of the most naturally gifted players of the 21st century into a fullback is a fucking disgrace so I do not blame Hazard for his decision (if this is true which I truly believe it is).

Real want Hazard? Give us Bale AND Varane, At the moment, Bale ain't worth what Eden is and Perez knows it. Most important thing would be to get those players, give them Ramires, Cuadrado or whomever for all I care but both of those players are a must at Chelsea especially if we fail to sign Stones. Any other world-class wingers or defenders out there next summer? Not really....Griezmann is nothing more than a rich guy's Cuadrado and Reus is too injury prone and inconsistent.

Wouldn't start for them, not as good as Neymar while the other 2 spots are untouchable, Neymar is not going anywhere apparently Barca lining up 300k per week offer for him soon.

Hazard wouldn't survive at Real Madrid if he was playing the way he is right now. Would be slaughtered by the fans and media. The pressure would be 100x time worse than he's getting in England. Just ask Bale.

Bale is a donkey though, he literally kills every attack at Madrid. There is one thing to be off form, but it is another to be off form and can't do the simplest thing in football, he can't routinely make simple passes or touches.

Carlo stubbornness didn't help either by starting him like Mou has done with Ivanovic.

Hmm tough to say whether that will happen or not, time will tell. Hazard would compliment Suarez and Messi really well tough.

Such a non-story really.. there's obviously something wrong between Jose and Eden, but talks of Real Madrid in October based on an Instagram like, really?

He'll pick up form and this period will be forgotten by the end of the season

The same can be said about ronaldo.

Take away the tap ins and pks, what do you have....

I fully expect madrid to lose today

Rakitic - Busquets

Messi - Hazard - Neymar

Suarez

One could argue that he already progressed under José. Definitely was a better player last year than he was two years ago or at Lille, don't you think?

He just need some pepper spray sprayed in his ass right now.

It's true that he has progressed under Mourinho but how much of a factor Mourinho's been is up for debate. Noone can really know.

I agree with Pseudo. Imo Hazard would do better under a more offensive manager. I don't think Hazard can reach his full potential under Mourinho.

Mourinho's all about balance and limiting risks. Example Azpi on the left back position to balance that left side.

Part of me wonders though, as great as Hazard was last season could he have been better if he had had say someone like Marcelo, Alaba or Jordi alba supporting him ?

I think he would have performed even better.

[Jase 43,479]

Erm maybe the reason he wants to leave is because OF THE BAD MOMENT? you think he would suddenly want to leave after we win the league and his new contract?

So, ONE bad moment - the first he's had since he joined us - and he wants to jump ship already? I don't care if he has issues with Mourinho - it's not even anywhere near breaking point, if any - but if he does that, then maybe he isn't exactly that mentally strong like we all thought. Wouldn't succeed anywhere with that kind of mindset.

To other side the story came out when it seems there is something wrong between Mourinho and Hazard, and when his performances are lacking any kind of motivation.

There MIGHT be an issue between the two but their relationship has not completely broken down. His performances lack motivation? Well, he's not the only one who's guilty of that this season, is he?

Bale is a donkey though, he literally kills every attack at Madrid. There is one thing to be off form, but it is another to be off form and can't do the simplest thing in football, he can't routinely make simple passes or touches.

Well, you don't see or hear the fans boo Ramires in the stadium or the local media run a poll asking if Ramires should be sold etc, do you? Bale isn't perfect (he's not even a bad player) but he was the one who scored the decisive goal in the Copa del Rey and Champions League finals two seasons ago but despite that, anything little thing he doesn't do right, the fans and media are immediately on his back. It's farcical what goes on at Real Madrid really.

So you are only making cheap conjectures. AGAIN!

It seems just like that Fulham Broadway guy you get pissed when someone just don't accept shallow arguments.

ps: I had you on my ignore list, but somehow, sadly and I can read your posts again. Weird.

It wasn't a shallow argument or conjecture at all, it was a plain as day fact, L'equipe article directly references instagram. Where is the conjecture in that? In fact if you took a little time yourself, you would have come to the same conclusion. You even had the audacity to assume about my 'assumption' and criticise me for it. It isn't my job to spoon feed you sources, but I did so anyway and when I did you had nothing to say except a dig at me.

P.S If I were pissed you'd be banned. So, no I'm not pissed as this is a forum and hardly something to get as worked up about. Sorry to disappoint you.

I think mourihno's going to be sacked before hazard leaves. I believe roman values eden over mourihno at this point in time.

[Oscar 441]

Madrid has been playing some shit football with rafa as manager...

[the wes 7,212]

If I was hazard and Jose was still here, I would go to either United or PSG.

Hazard might not start on the big 3 in europe, but I'm sure psg/united he would. Also, if David Silva leaves City.

United

Hazard-Depay-Marital

City

Sterling-Hazard-KDB

PSG

Hazard-Cavani-Lucas

there's no chance in hell chelsea would sell hazard to utd or city psg is more likely were he will go till

[supporter 3,088]

IMO Hazard would be very wrong if he thought that all his problems this season are due to Jose. To me Eden has to play every game because he is our best player and one of the best players in the world among the mortals (no Messi or Ronaldo) but he has to make self-criticism and assume that his performance is not being good.

This year Eden should take the final step to become in one of the greatest players in the world as a consolidated player, not as a mere promise. And maybe that scares him and he is blocked since the beginning of the season.

I think what is happening with Eden Hazard is not the same as Juan Mata and KDB. Mainly because Eden Hazard is one of the best in the world and Jose will not throw stones at his own roof.

With Real Madrid Jose had problems with Cristiano Ronaldo, a very big problems, but Jose is not stupid and Cristiano Ronaldo
continued playing in the starting eleven with Real Madrid

But Cristiano Ronaldo was punished by Jose in a couple of games as has happened with Hazard. IMO is just a warning to motivate Eden.

Eden Hazard is a young player and he has to take advantage of this warning and play every game as if it were the last and "close the mouth" of Jose. And Jose is a great motivator and he knows what he is doing.

I am quite sure that in the next games Eden will be in our starting eleven and gradually we will come back to restore normalcy with Eden as our main player.

Chelsea+English fans are different from Real and Spain supporters though. English fans have soft spot for hard working players like Ramires, while Spanish fans have a soft spot for graceful players. Bale is neither which makes it worse lol. For a player that played LB he is dreadful in defending and tracking back.

Just like Madrid supporters couldn't tolerate Mourinho conservative/ park the bus tactics against better opposition, Chelsea fans do not care and accept such tactics. There is a difference in culture.

As I said Bale starting on a regular basis frustrated Madrid fans more then his form. I don't think Madrid frustration level would have reached that high with Bale if Carlo had benched him for Isco a fan fave.

Even if there is a difference in culture, you cannot deny that Real Madrid fans are one of the most - if not the most - fickle bunch of supporters in the world. Their treatment of the players, never mind Bale, is nothing short of embarrassing.
