Eden Hazard

[Jase 43,479]

Madrid offered Ronaldo much more than he was getting at Utd and made him the central figure of the club. They won't do the same with Hazard.

If Hazard develops into a similar kind of player like Ronaldo, then I don't think that would be out of the question.

That's why I said foreseeable future. Besides, Madrid already have Ronaldo and Barca have Messi, why would either splash out for Hazard if he does become a similar player to Ronaldo?

• first of it looks like Chelsea is becoming THE place to be for Belgians. A lot of talents are already in... if others (Fellaini) will follow... Chelsea might be a great base for the progress of all our players as well as our national team => This is undoubtly an important point for Eden
• With Thorgan... he also has his brother here => his family, who is really important for Eden also will live (or be living) in London
• He have choses us a summer ago... he could have gone anywhere!! I bet he must love London as a city and liked our future project (probably he knew about all the belgians coming... Make no mistake... these guys talk about that a lot during national squad games)
• He earns a lot and lives in a great city

• The spanish liga has only 2-3 important games every year. This is the same like in France. I think Eden had it with those 'easy games'. He's a guy that really needs to find a challenge in the game... he won't get this by playing Espanyol, Mallorca, Osasuno, etc... every year.
• Last but least: Spanish government just voted a new law that taxes on income wil increase from 24% => 52%!!! Which means that Real madrid will have to give him a weekly income om almost €500.000 for Eden to remain in the same position as he is in today => not gonna happen

I have faith that the choice for Chelsea was a well thought one! This future project with all belgians around him (AND his brother) will certainly be important for Eden!

His future is Blue => KTBFHH!! :cfc: :cfc: :cfc:

He has a long contract here and it is far to early to talk about a player leaving us who has been here for like 5 months.

Well, there are rumours circling that Ronaldo won't be renewing his contract with Madrid. Furthermore, he's already 27 years old this year, 6 years older than Hazard. Come 3-4 years time, Ronaldo may well start to decline while Hazard could well be on the up and Madrid then would want somebody of Hazard's calibre to replace Ronaldo.

Like I said earlier, I'm just being paranoid and a miserable prick here. I apologize for that...

Eden looks like a smart guy and I think he can see that for the foreseeable future his best interest is to stay at Chelsea. He is very well paid. He is constantly challenging for tittles and honors and he's a guaranteed starter. What else could he want?

Real Madrid is the ultimate football club for any footballer (except Barca fans). Add the fact that Zidane is his idol and him dreaming of Real is only logical.

Personally I'm not too bothered about it, not at all actually. Not every player we get will end up a Lampard case. If he stays here for 5, 6 years and then moves, we simply play/get someone else. Hazard is a exceptional talent but he's not the only one and there will be more to come.

[Jase 43,479]

Anyway, I cannot believe that they did not upload Hazard's post-match interview with Neil Barnet after the Villa game!

I think a talent like Hazard would want a guarantee to be a starter. Don't think he can have that at Madrid.

[Weckerz 3,781]

He's happy at Chelsea, trust me.

He also talked about his brother Thorgan, saying he's happy he's no longer seen as the brother off.. His dream is to play some day with him at Chelsea, that's why he made a good move to Zulte, as he needs to play alot at the moment to develop further..

Thorgan will never be starter for Chelsea. He's nowhere near the level Eden was at that age. You never know I suppose but I can't see it. I think Thorgan was signed to make Eden feel more at ease, much like the Musonda brothers, where Charly Jr is a far greater talent than the other siblings.

So happy to see him there, what a debut season already.

Cristiano Ronaldo won't last forever. And I'm sure he'd start over Di Maria on the right.

But what are we talking about? He's here, let's simply enjoy that fact.

I honnestly believe money cant make Eden go to Madrid.. The only thing i can see causing him to make a switch is either lack of enjoyement of the game, or the inability to progress as a player. He wants to realize his full potential, thats why he came here in the first place...

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Hazard has 17 assists in all competitions. Not bad for an overpriced flop, eh? I bet United are absolutely kicking themselves!

[Peppen 934]

Meh. Not his greatest game, but A NEW F*CKING HAIRCUT. GOSH HE'S HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TrippingStep 336]

We should rest him this week.

He had heavy legs when he came in against Norwich wich you could see when he had that yellow for fouling a counter-attack and he had difficulties to catch the Norwich player and make a sprint. Today was the same.

Only 11 actually, unless you count winning those penalties and free kicks as assists.

[Nando 106]

Maybe we can afford to rest him alongside Mata for the QPR game next year haha
