Eden Hazard

The media made Hazard look like a prick but every Lille supporter says that he gives 100% in every game and watching his interviews he does sound like a decent guy.

Didi made #11 legendary and i think giving Eden the shirt would mean a lot to him. Word to everything Term said in this thread.

edit: Number 7 would fit him perfect but it would be disrespectful to Ramirez to change his number just because of a new signing. He's too much of a boss for that.

Arsenal was the first EPL team that was erased from his wishlist => not enough maturity in the team + too much uncertainty around Van Persie. T

:lol: :lol: :lol: So true! Least he recognized that, unlike a certain Frenchman...

Eventually it was clear that it would become a struggle between United and us! United offered better wages (!!) ... but Eden preferred the Blues ( :blue scalf: )because he was promised to become the #10 of a whole new and attacking young team. He believes a lot in the potential and the ambitions of our club!

United offered better wages than us?! Surely not!

Belgian Football Magazine (sport voetbal magazine) comes up with a report of some extra info about Eden's transfer.

A total of 8(!) clubs came up with serious offerts to try and attract Hazard during the last season. Hazard said no to Real Madrid, Barcelona, Inter Milan, Tottenham, Man City and eventually also Man United!

Already in january, when he announced he was going to play in the EPL, Barcelona, Madrid & Inter were out of the race. Hazard prefers the EPL because it's a competition that fits him well with a lot of pace & dedication on the pitch & a great atmosphere on the stands. Eden thinks english football fits him best of all European leagues.

Arsenal was the first EPL team that was erased from his wishlist => not enough maturity in the team + too much uncertainty around Van Persie. Tottenham attracted his interest but then totally collapsed at the end of the season.

Eat this Real, Barcelona and the rest of the EPL teams B)

So Mata is back to the Wings... Just perfect <_<

I think Mata is back on the wing.

In the newest Chelsea TV upload on Youtube, Essien and Mata introduce themselves.

Essien says - "Michael Essien, midifelder."

Mata says - "Juan Mata, left winger." with uncertainty in his voice.

Wouldn't take that seriously TBH. Probably was lost in translation. ;)

Actually no it wasn't.

The word for word translation is " From various conversations with the staff (his entourage) it appears he'll be playing on the number 10, behind the striker."

In way I feel really bad for Mata cause im sure his ambition was to be Chelsea's No 10. In the end Mata is a strong character and im sure it wont phase him. Mata doesn't need a number anyway lol he's got full license to just roam.

Ha! So much for trying to be positive. Difficult to imagine a player asking/demanding to play in a certain position during negotiation. Won't be believe all those stories till I see it happens on the pitch. If Hazard wants to play in that CAM, then he has to prove himself there. Won't be fair at all if he just comes in like that and takes Mata's place.

Am I the only one who really doesn't care about fucking number on his kit? He can wear whatever he wants I am more interested about his performance.

Eh, starting XI shirts generally sell more than other numbers. Hazard 11 will probably ship a few more than Hazard 36.

Well Belgian and French papers have always reported the weekly wages to be around 110 000 £ so it not impossible that Man United offered more.

Hard to see Fergie paying higher than that for Hazard. He is after all only 21 y/o.

Don't think he really demanded the position probably just asked where they would play him. He's probably just gonna get his shot on the number 10 and see how he performs there. But like "james" said doesn't really matter that much where they play. They'll just roam all over. Both Mata and Hazard are players who need that freedom to roam to really max their impact.
