Eden Hazard

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

If he does well, he will be getting an increase. There's no doubt about that!

If he does well he deserves an increase.

If he does well he deserves an increase.

I agree, but what is the limit?

I liked the fact our captain used to be the highest paid player, but he is getting on now. We need to be sensible.

Rumours he will sign extension till 2019 for 250k per week

If Rooney is on 300k, 250 for Hazard, our most talented player is chump change - especially considering his age and the fact that he still has room for growth as a player.

I don't see us busting the bank and pay Hazard 250k p/w wages. Pretty sure we have a set structure at the club when it comes to the wage cap.

Making the most talented player in our squad out highest paid player isn't sensible? Okay...

That wasn't what I was saying.

This new deal would make him the highest paid Chelsea player of all-time.

There is no limit, market dictates that. If Rooney is making 300k and Messi makes 401k then your guess is as good as mine.

Rumours he will sign extension till 2019 for 250k per week

Worth mentioning that the figure of 250k per week being rumored is in euros, that equates to roughly 200k per week in gbp.

Messi and CR7 should be exceptions. Rooney took Utd for a ride!

That makes MUCH more sense.

I'm fine with it as its 5years. He will get consistent and become better in his shooting, then we'll be having a ballon'd'or contender in our team

If we pay Eden 300k it doesn't matter, if he reaches his potential he will be worth every penny.

Well of course it matters, you don't pay 300k if you don't have to, Rooney's deal is not a barometer.

Obviously, if he accepts £185k then do that. But if he wants a tad more, give him it. What are Cesc's wages?

I am sure the club will not allow themselves to be mugged like United were with Rooney. They have acquitted themselves fantastically well this calender year. They will have a figure they feel Eden is worth and won't allow him to hold them to ransom. Whether that figure is 1,2 or even 300k. The board will do the right thing.
