Eden Hazard

[Moros 86]

He does have a point though, we're, just like other nationalities, more biased than we even know and realise. We might be even more so than quite a few nationalities due to a number of reasons. A major one being that we had little to be excited about for a long time.

Now of course there are differences, you have those who post with an agenda in mind, most just are a tad overexcited, especially the younger members. I'm a long time chelsea fan though I have to admit posting more in threads about Belgian players and joining only after Hazard was signed. People have that bias in varying degrees, sometimes only a little, but everyone has it. And it often more noticed by other than the individuals and group itself, often because it can be irritating.

What am I actually rambling on about? Anyway those comparing Mata and Hazard are comparing very different players in a different stage of their carreer and development. The thing we should hope for is that the two guys will play well together under Mourinho. And I don't have my doubt they both will.

Also KDB is better than Shurrle!

He said: "I've noticed it's usually a few Belgium posters that slag off players to prop up their compatriots"

That is bullshit. I called his bluf to say where and when.

It is one thing to be - normally biased - another to it being 'usually the belgians that slag off other players to prop up their own'. I don't accept that when its bullocks. Ive had people posting that stuff or a year now - and 'i find the belgian population on here (@weckerz, @hamilton, @mediator, @tiwaz, ....) very, very level headed.

Edit: even @skipper is ok, even though he is dutch. He liked this post after all !

So if Bale is apparently worth £85MM, how much do you guys reckon Hazard is worth?

I for one think Hazard's ceiling is higher.

Hmm... now I am starting to realize why my sister likes Ronaldo and my dog likes Ribery.

I hope the kids don't see a Sideshow Bob in David Luiz...

Anyone noticed the screaming asian girls when Hazard touched the ball?

If Hazard ever wants to go to Madrid, we will use that price for Bale to make him the first £100m player.

Chelsea will be better than Real Madrid in 3-4 years, why would he want to go there?

In any case, he used to be perceived as a mercenary (for taking his time choosing a club, securing your football future etc..), which is obviously a massive misconception.

Personally I can see him staying here his whole career, provided Chelsea keep evolving in the right direction.

Hazard far better than Mata,this average and boring player

The seasons about to start so i am hoping eden gets back into shape quickly.

Is he gonna be our #2 penalty taker after lampard?

the way he slots in penalty is cool, the idea of using vision to trick the GK. however it will defintely be spotted and identified by rival team GK

[Special Juan 27,454]

He will start more games than Frank so he will be our number 1 taker me thinks.

i seriously dont care how he has played in the friendlies but what bothers me is that he is looking a little chubby/flabby.

He actually noted that he prepared harder/ trained morentensive this time round ....

Maybe its the outfits , i don't know.

As for the ass. It was always a big booty.

[Moros 86]

Actually I think he might have grown some more muscle rather than fat. He was great at using strenght and balance to keep or steal the ball, he seemed to have improved on that aspect. Hope he doesn't sacrifice too much speed for that though.

Honestly, he always seems a little "chubby", thats just how he looks, its the same as last season IMO.

As long as he plays good its fine.

He was always good in strength and balance, something that surprised me last season seeing how "un-physical" he looks.
