Madmax 9,219 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Well said. If he could give us around 20 goals a season and create a good amount for his teammates - and he's capable of doing both - I would be more than happy. I don't expect him to ever explode and get Messi/C. Ronaldo numbers.I'm salivating at the prospect of him feeding Diego Costa. Hazard created some 80+ chances in the league in 13-14, the highest across Europe (even if you take Opta/Whoscored numbers with a 20 or 30% margin based on their definition of 'chances', that's still quite a number) - now imagine Costa and acclimatised versions of Schurrle/Salah/Willian on the end of those ... tasty.

Oscar too. We know what we're going to get from Hazard, it's the other guys that need to turn up next season.

Injury, fatigue, WC - whatever the excuse(s), he was a Conference standard player for much of the season. lionsden, kellzfresh, The Skipper and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZOS 580 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 RIght now Bale is also better than Hazard, he scored 21 goals without 1 penalty 2 years ago with the same age Hazard has, And he is playing for Madrid scoring decisive goals in Copa and in CHampions.Ribery is also in another level.FOr me Neymar is by far the best young player in the world. He needs to do a lot more in Barcelona but his talent is really clear, and he is a little younger than Hazard.Hazard needs to do more if he wants to be one of the best players in the world.That's just not true mate. Hazard is a better dribbler, passer of the ball and clearly have a far better vision in the final third. Bale is a better athlete. iseah100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilvorak 3,734 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Why do so many people say Messi/ Ronaldo/ BALE level?What exactly has Bale done to be named in the same sentence as these 2?Ignore them. Same people that put Bale in that category also think he's better than Neymar. The only young player that's 100% better than Hazard is the latter.Give me a magician like Hazard, James, Gotze or Neymar over a kick and run athlete any day of the week.

Gilvorak 3,734 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Lol, Neymar is miles better than both Hazard & Bale and it's not even close. Stop comparing them. Korea 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iseah100 5,612 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Lol, Neymar is miles better than both Hazard & Bale and it's not even close. Stop comparing them.Based on what? Potential? What he's done for his country? What he did at Santos? Bale was better in his first year at Madrid than Neymar was at Barca. Hazard will surpass Bale this year.

Hazard is a better dribbler, passer of the ball and clearly have a far better vision in the final third. Bale is a better athlete.Bale is better long passer and crosses the ball as good as anyone...Bale is better in set piece situations. Bale has superior physical attributes and far more aggressive than Hazard. People that slate Bale, but praise Cristiano really do not make any sense to me. Bale is Cristiano 2.0, with better passing but less impressive aerial ability. Like I said last year, drop Cristiano from madrid and give Bale his role. Let's see if he can get cr7 like stats.

Rom2013 446 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Why do so many people say Messi/ Ronaldo/ BALE level?What exactly has Bale done to be named in the same sentence as these 2?2 years ago the best player in the PL. THis season in his first season in Spain 22 goals (again no penaltys), for sure the same number of assists, determinant goals in the 2 thophies Madrid won. If you think it's not good enough I don't know what would be.Bale is like Cristiano, not as good but the guy is impressive and will be one of the contenders for the place of best player in the world.THis kind of players - Cristiano and Messi - are directly involved in 80 goals per season in their teams. And Bale and Neymar will do the same in 1 or 2 seasons.And that are the best players in the world.When we say, INiesta is incredible, RObben is incredible, or no Ribery is the best.Some people like a lot the tiki taka style, others something more direct. But in the case of this 4 players, it's a question of numbers,and it's undeniable.Btw, Bale was better than Neymar in the club without any doubt.

bababoom 4,478 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Hazard is a winger, he's not solely a creative player like Silva or Iniesta, he has totally different skill sets. Also Neymar better than Bale/Hazard? Give me a break. Bale>Hazard>Neymar. Bale right now it better than Hazard, he's way more consistent, Hazard at his best is better but we only get that five games a season. iseah100 and Mong630 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZOS 580 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Bale is better long passer and crosses the ball as good as anyone... I don't know what makes you say that but I agree Hazard needs to work on his corners ... and now that both Lamps and Luiz are gone, we might be in for quite a treat from him in-regards to free kicks Bale is better in set piece situations yeah, I said he's the better athlete ... but I don't know how much that takes away from Hazard given his role in the team. (Messi/Iniesta/Robben/Gotze/Reus in my mind) Bale has superior physical attributes and far more aggressive than Hazard. yeah, he's faster too ... but that wont make him better than a guy who takes PKs without looking at the ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
