Not sure what impact Carlo will have on Madrid, but have a feeling he will have a positive impact on Hazard, just like he had on Drogba back in 09-10.

he's done at this level

hazad already finishid his carreer but he even doesn't realize that

pretty much agree, sadly

his ankles/legs are shot to fuck

he has had THREE broken bones at separate times (and ligament damage) in his lower legs since he left

just as I predicted (his only having, at most 1 possibly stellar year left when we sold him, and he did not even produce that)

too much beating on him in the EPL, plus he is a HORRID trainer and doesn't take care of his body

in that regard, he is a throwback to the 1970/80's and before

Grealish gets throttled about as well, but takes far better care of himself

I would take him back for 30m if we can't get Haaland.

Nah we have worn the Hazard shirt, it doesn't fit any longer.

It did not happened. He basically said he can go... I think it is fair to say he is done in Madrid. Especially considering how Vini is playing that LW role. At the moment best in the world. 

Already 3rd season in Madrid, we robbed them! Did absolutely nothing. 31yo in 2 months, maybe Newcastle take him.

every single goal of his except one versus Valencia (hardly a monster team) has been against shit sides

he was dire against Inter on the CL, and marginally oki when Real lost to Sheriff in the CL

he was shut down by a struggling Barca (although RM won 2 1), and again by Villarreal

Vinícius has improved a lot from what he was, but no way I am ready to call him the best LW on the planet atm

let's see him bang them in against the big boys, then we can talk

Unfortunately looks that way. Don't think he has completely closed the door on him and sounds like he's motivating him to win his place. But we'll see.

Would suck to see him playing for another club in the PL though. Hazard shouldn't go the Michael Owen route.

Sorry, physically Hazard is done. No way should he be coming back. 

Only AM's we should be looking at are Chiesa and Raphina.

Could Hazard perform now if he returns ?
My Greek experiences with failed big money transfers who returned is rather negative:

Sideris: The legendary Olympiakos Piraeus striker went to Belgium in 1969. Did nothing there, returned to Olympiakos in 1971. But now he was useless - just made it in a couple of friendlies.
Anastopoulos: Another legendary Olympiakos Piraeus striker who moved to Italy in 1986. He and his team failed, returned to Olympiakos but no good anymore.
Tsiartas: The midfield general of AEK Athens of the 90s. Went to Sevilla in 1996, returned, was just as good as before for three-four more years. But Tsiartas was good in Sevilla too.

What is your experience of similar situations ?

I don't know... Now seeing Coutinho last night it changes my mind a bit and slowly losing hope in our attackers, maybe not a bad idea. 

[Tomo 21,733]

I love him but no, he's done.

[Superblue 6,372]

If we didn't have Lukaku, I'd say there's no harm trying to get him back on loan and seeing what he has left, because it isn't just injuries but it looks like the life and enjoyment has been completely sucked out of him over there.

But you couldn't accommodate for Hazard and Lukaku in the same team because you'll end up in a similar situation to United being unable to pressure and retrieve the ball high up the pitch.

I look forward to hearing from Hazard at the end of his career to find out if moving to Madrid in hindsight was a mistake in his opinion when he was literally made for life here.

I think if the opportunity came up for him to return he'd be on the first flight to London.

Reportedly Newcastle now pushing to sign him...

Really hope he does not go there for his reputation sake but am not afraid. He is rapidly ageing and has not been up to speed for ages. a return to the PL would be rough for him

He would be daft to go to Newcastle. Absolutely insane.

I mean honestly imagine Hazard being coached by Eddie Howe and trying to play little cute 1-2’s with Chris Wood. It would be ridiculous. Plus he’d end up playing in the championship next year.

I think a return to Lille at some point may be his best course of action because he is nowhere near the standsrd for Madrid or us.

I would imagine any 'big' player going there would want to include a relegation release clause in their contract

Return to PL to be in a relegation threatened team would be rough. Hope he factors that into his decision making. I mean, Madrid can't force him to move to a club if he doesn't want to, right.?

At least he here he would have a good support structure to compensate for deficiency.
