Eden Hazard

[Roquila 1,335]

yes very true if you ignore Man U at home and Arsenal at home last season and Liverpool at home the season before, then yes Hazard has yet to decide a big game. Remind me again of the last big game Bale decided??? :confused:

Champions league final winner goal and Copa del Rey winner goal isn't enough i guess.

Spurs sold Bale for £80 million and replaced him with a load of crap .. liverpool did much the same selling Suarez .. I can see us doing similar

I dunno tbh mate, if we was to sell in the summer i like to think we can get 80-90 million for him.

With that i can see us trying to sign on of, Bale, Pogba, Reus, Stones. and with the change i like to think we can sign 1-2 soild squad players

Comparing the succesful transfers of attacking players to the failures is enough to make you cry. We've seen an army of players come and go, Drogba and Hazard were the closest things to superstars in a Chelsea shirt. Just two players. Think about that.

Selling Hazard would be disastrous. I have good faith it won't come to that though.

Reus and Isco or Bale> Hazard any day. They are not big game bottlers like the Belgian either and even in a bad season last year Bale still hit nearly 20 goals, he doesn't go 15 matches scoreless streak like Hazard atm.

This season even Moses is better than him.

But Hazard of last season is better than those 3. Big game bottler? Maybe in the CL but in the EPL he scored against United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs and killed City in that away game where we won 1-0. And even when he is on scoreless streak, he often is our best player.

Personally, I prefer a fit Chelsea Arjen Robben to Eden Hazards any day. Always runs at defenders and not sideways, very quick counter attack,... etc

check their ages and if Robben is fit is quite a BIG IF

True.. I meant when Robben was at Chelsea. They were of comparable age too

Well maybe, just maybe Eden would score that amount of goals as well if Mou actually decided he wants his attacking players to be more concerned about attacking instead of defending

To see Hazard only in terms of goals scored is really simplistic for that matter, he is providing far more than just goals and assists. Us Chelsea fans who see him weekly should know that more than anyone.

Besides, don't you think that Hazard's numbers in a team like Madrid which destroy opponents and often score 4+ goals would be much much higher? Bale is overrated as f***, he can run, he can score, but is near useless when spaces disappear, which is almost always the game plan of our opponents.

The same reasoning applies for belgians comparing KDB and Hazard. Yes KDB is far better at the moment but it's so much easier to perform the way he does in an attacking team that scores so many goals. Too many often forget the context in which a player evolves...

Finally, it's true that Eden is underperforming, but come on, he's been far from the abysses a lot a people here put him in. He should do better of course, because we all know his potential, but he has not been THAT BAD.

He's still one of the best at creating chances this season (http://metro.co.uk/2015/10/19/chelseas-eden-hazard-among-best-in-the-premier-league-at-creating-chances-stats-5447733/), in a appalling Chelsea side, and only lacks goals..

Could be a blessing in disguise. Do not back down unless they give us Varane.

Splash out for Reus - Chelsea Champions League winners 16/17.

As if Reus would want to come here seeing Hazard leave to pursue attacking football

Quite shocked at the number of people turning their back on a player who's been instrumental for 3 years after a 2 month blip in form.

I'm not turning back on him - but Varane is what we need and Reus is nearly as good as Hazard. If he wants to leave all I'm saying is that it won't be the end of the world.

Varane+Reus for Hazard would be a great deal, I don't see it happening

edit: I don't think he'll leave fwiw

Well if we got Varane + £30m for Hazard (I make that circa £120m is overall) and then spend £50m and bag Reus I'd say overall it is a massive improvement to our total squad. If we then sold Fabregas and got, say, Gundogan or Isco or whoever, and replaced Ivanovic if Baba does not make the jump, I'd make us favourites for a treble season.
