Eden Hazard

[robsblubot 3,595]

They want to go to Real Madrid for prestige, not money.

Of course they are well paid, but he's already making a shitload of money, do you really think that would be the main reason he'd want to leave? I don't think so.

Prestige IS money!

Look beyond wages... please.

[Lapo Blues 21]

Rafa will at the very least get a second season unless he does a Moyes, Real have been jealous of Barca's success with homegrown Catalans and want to do it with a Madristian, and let's be honest Rafa is their only hope in that regard.

Sorry Director. No disrespect.

With this clumpsy situation with cristina ronaldo issues rafat had, I personally don't think he will last more than a season.

Rafat is always been odd IMO. Maybe cuz he is fat, players tend to disrespect him.

I don't follow you on that one, what do you mean?

Hmm, play in sunny Spain with a supporting cast of world-class players or play as an auxiliary LB in a team that plays shit on a stick football?

Thats a really tough decision for one of the most exciting and flamboyant young players in the game.

Their wages are hardly their only income... The most prestigious and famous players make a lot of money off of their naming rights. Their contracts are nuanced. Esp nowadays with social media and advertisers paying for clicks.

Professional players care about one thing: money

Yes other factors may also influence their decision, but the key factor is making money and I happen to find that most football fans' passion makes them a bit naive. Used to be one of them, but now I know better.

Look at this thread - people are looking for any reason but the one that matters... should go without saying in capitalism.

The way he's been playing this season, he'd be lucky to be playing in 'sunny' Sunderland!

I'm not putting in excuses for him and never will, he's such a talent yet all I keep asking myself is 'He needs to up his game' He's put in this so called top quality bracket yet all we are seeing is the odd flash of quality and the flame dies for a few games.

No player is bigger than the club, if he wants to fuck off then so be it, in the mean time fucking up your game please.

1. So why has he won every individual award available in England? PFA player of the year and PFA young player of the year back to back.

2. Why has he been our player of the year two seasons in a row back to back? I think the only player other than John Hollins, Mata and Lampard ever to do so in our history?

3. So how does a player who apparently only show flashes carry a chiefly defensively oriented team on his back two seasons in a row guide said team to the Premier league title? How many players in the world could have done what Hazard has done for us playing in that 2nd half of last season and the season before?

Just a bunch of hypocrites and ingrates, man. So far this story is based mostly on rumours and conjecture but you're so quick to tell our best player to "fuck off". Hazard has given enough to this club. His conduct on and off the pitch nothing short of unbelievable. He doesn't deserve such hostile language.

And where was this reaction when Mourinho was publicly saying he'll manage another English club if Chelsea sack him? And all the other crazy bull he's done to embarrass this club in public? Is the manager bigger than Chelsea or not, because, I might be wrong, but I don't see you ever posting here for him to "fuck off"

Eden Hazard vs Dynamo Kyiv (Away) UCL 20/10/2015 HD

Enjoy our TOP Belgian player... and forget the citizen.

1. Because he was excellent last season and the season before, and if you read through this thread he gets massive praise from me because of that. I'm talking about now, if he is this 'special' what's happened this season? Where has the so called match winner gone? Where is the player who carried us to glory gone? In a bad time for the club where has this one player who supposedly steps up to the mark to drag us out, really gone too?

So, based on this season how do you think he has faired? Amazing? Brilliant? Excellent? He's been none of the ones listed, he's been bang average, like most, and me asking him to step up holds substance massively, as it does a lot of the team. As for 'He doesn't deserve such hostile language' Do me a favour, the story holding substance or not, if a player doesn't want to be here then they go, simple as that, this club is more important. If he wants to remain, up your game and show us this quality we saw last season.

But as always, people will kick sand over things to protect players they think are not culpable for blame and go to the nearest source.

Oh and again, if you visit the Mourinho thread you will see me posting about my annoyances with him over the last months, but you probably haven't and it's easy to point the finger.

Hazard has ranged from average to poor, like most players this season. He carried the bulk of the attacking load in Mourinho's first season here and did likewise in the 2nd half of last season, often while getting kicked around from pillar to post, while PL refs do nothing to protect him. It's a miracle he hasn't gotten injured.

He's tired, both physically and mentally and he's done more than his fair share, playing for the most part what has been defensive ball under Jose. His other contemporaries at other top clubs don't have to shoulder anywhere near as much attacking burden as Hazard does and it's understandable why he wants to leave. He's approaching 25 and has earned his stripes and battle scars in England.

Now, let's make one thing VERY clear. I'm not admonishing you because you criticize Hazard's form or you bemoan the fact he hasn't "stepped up". I'm just puzzled as to why unsubstantiated rumour = telling our best player player, who has been nothing short of a model pro to "fuck off". And you wonder why CFC fans get a bad wrap in football squares? C'mon now, seriously?

You are wanting it both ways here, your saying he carried us last season to the title and then now claim he's tired, can't all the players say that? You then say he's done his fair share, what so he's allowed to drop his guard now? Your talking like he's a kid who's served his detention in class and deserves to go home, he's a footballer with a massive reputation and ability yet when questioned why he's dipped all the excuses come out like he's 'Tired' 'Carried the team' 'Been kicked all over' Isn't this part and parcel of been a so called top bracket player? With a burden comes a tag, he has a tag with some people as a top bracket player, and when he doesn't step up the question is there to ask why, and everyone is entitled to ask it.

My outlook on him, or any player remains the same, if they want out then go. This is CFC not Eden Hazard FC.

Hazard has given everything to the club. He doesn't deserve to be told to "fuck" off. How difficult is that to grasp? The fact you're trying to defend this shit is ridiculous.
