Eden Hazard

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

I don't blame him at all. He's been carrying this lot on his shoulders for years. My biggest regret is that we had this player probably in his prime but failed to build a strong team around him to challenge for the Champions League properly. 

He will leave in summer, its almost certain now. Hopefully that will at least force the board to start fresh, because there is no way we can replace Eden.

He plays only to have fun and doesn't care about manager's criticism. Those recent comments sum him up really. He only turns it on when he is in the mood (that mood wavers a lot) and how can he, who I assume has at least some professional pride, not feel hurt when his own manager criticize? How can he not have the urge to prove him wrong? The fact that Hazard just brushed it off like it's nothing says a lot about his mentality.

YES!!!!!! EXACTLY!!

But this isn't new. It has been his problem since day 1

He gives us a glimpse of how good he has the ability to be then comes on the pitch minus his footballing head!

He will do the same at RM.

We should have cashed him in 2 years ago and used that £200mill wisely.

Now we will deny his move and take what RM will let us have for him when his contracts almost done.

What's mad to think, is that since he's been here, we've never had a player that could match his influence in the third. 

Not since Mata. 

 

Cheers Jose

No way to replace Eden? Please. Hes not Messi or Cristiano. Hes a great player but yeah. Good and very good attacking players always come about. 

Regarding the CL, other than the game v Atletico when he played off Morata last season, has he ever been hugely convincing in the CL against top level opposition? As opposed to the form hes shown in the PL in certain bigger games? I think somebody alluded to that a few seasons ago when Neymar was stepping up for Barca when Messi was injured. Neymar in that Barca PSG second leg was one of the best individual performances I think I have seen. He was so decisive.

Its quite odd we won a CL with a 35 year old Drogba playing 120 minutes and such a poor starting 11 compared to the teams weve had in recent seasons. 

[MoroccanBlue 5,296]

Let's say we take the funds from Hazard and buy Fekir, Pepe, and Barella?

Eden is replacable, but the state our club is right now, we are midtable without him. The board has ZERO quality to bring proper replacements. Spending isnt the problem, but what if we pull another ''Morata'' as Eden replacement ?

Costa was replacable, but we couldnt make it work after he was sold.

I said it when people wanted to get rid of Costa that it will be a mistake and we wont be as strong. Same shit will happen once Hazard leaves. And down down in the mediocrity we go.

He's not world class IMO, not even close. I think because he's in the elite bracket we expect him to do these sensational things, when in actual fact he can't.

He's just and up and down, in and out kind of player, that has the little bit of flair here there and everywhere and when he does something brilliant we all buy into it and start wanking ourselves daft.

Lol. Knee jerk reaction at best.

He is in shit period indeed right now and I hate the way he plays these months with no urgency to deliver, but at his best he was downright unstoppable. Period. If he set himself to leave then he simply must go. Pointless to keep player like that who wont give 100%

But he delievered in every season for Chelsea and is the best PL player for couple years now. If we could persuade him to stay, it has to be done. Lets not pretend once he leaves it wont hurt us. It will hurt like motherfucker because our board is incompetent to sign proper replacements and current lot cant take mantle from Eden.

When Costa was here people said he should be binned and when we sold him, people realised we turned much worse. Same will happen once Eden leaves, x10.

 

[BXL70 396]

Hazard said he doesn't care about the result, instead he just want to enjoy playing on the pitch.

That's one of the reason why he'll never match Messi or Ronaldo.

Go to RM, your dream, big headed Hazard, in exchange of large cash for our us.

Good riddance. 

[MoroccanBlue 5,296]

We replace Hazard with both Pepe and Fekir, things don't look too bad.

On 'knee jerk' not at all, this is not me basing him on last night but on him as a player overall.

And your second sentence needs no addressing what so ever "Pointless to keep player like that who wont give 100%"

Your preaching to someone as if I care if Eden walks, I really don't. If he stays fine, but if he fucks off to his dream club I will not shed a tear nor will I lose sleep.

I won't comment on Costa it's not the thread to do so, he's another that's been and gone and the club and fans are still here.

You dont care about player that elevated our play for last 7 years? Interesting...

Sure we cant do nothing to prevent him leaving, we are only fans. But we can form an opinion that he is extremely valuable player and anyone sane would keep him if there is a chance.

I never get close enough to players and fall in love, others do, not me. I appreciate them, that is where it stops.

I appreciate Hazard but I will never have the love for him like I do the club and the fans.

Fair enough. Are you from london maybe? 

Because I think most of us start cheering for certain club because of the players. I became fan after watching Lamps, Terry,,...

I know we all cheer for the club now no matter who plays, but its still the players (newer or older) that create that connection IMO.

Maurizio Sarri singled out Eden Hazard during angry dressing room inquest after Bournemouth loss

https://metro.co.uk/2019/01/31/maurizio-sarri-singled-eden-hazard-angry-dressing-room-inquest-bournemouth-loss-8422332/

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

If he doesn't want to play here, he should leave asap...

[LAM09 6,744]

These sort of showings happen far too often where he's concerned. People were asking for him to be named captain too. [emoji52]

[Fernando 6,453]

Sarri was right, he has a weak mentality. 

Not fit to be a leader. 

I saw enough for many seasons to realize this. How he disappear with Mourinho, did the same with Conte and now with Sarri.

I wonder if Real Madrid are seeing this and considering their options. Because if you want to replace Ronaldo you need a player with that winning mentality.

It's hard to care for a player who constantly talks about moving to another club in those 7 years...
