Thorgan Hazard

Whats the point loaning him out to Anderlecht?

At the beginning of the season i would understand since they were playing in the CL and it would have been great experience for Thorgan.

But now it doesnt make any sense,i have the feeling that Anderlecht mainly want to weaken a title contender.

Leave him at Zulte till the end of the season and in the summer a loan to a PL team makes the most sense to me .

Of course they want to weaken a contender (don't really think they'll be competing till the end though).

Personally, he'll find much more players of his level at Anderlecht. It would be a dick-move, but it might benefit him in the end.

At this point there's no reason for him to go Anderlecht. I'm hoping that he can get a low mid table PL loan in 2014-2015 to a team like Aston Villa, Hull, Cardiff, etc just keep him away from Pulis.

According to hln.be (one of the big papers in Belgium) Thorgan allready said goodbye to his teammates..

[bouletje 82]

Read on voetbalnieuws.be Anderlecht booked a plane ticket for Thorgan to join them on their winter break in abu dhabi...

Not sure if it's a good thing to do, he Will be surrounded by better players, many growing young talent but from what I can tell, Dury is a better coach for him.

I think he could have a regular starting spot in Anderlecht too...

Oh he will and I suppose he could be a pied piper and lead Youri Tielemans to Chelsea. Although Chelsea Still, the move isn't that great because he's still in the Belgian league. He needs a step up in class. French mid table team (Lyon) would have been the better move.

I'm guessing Chelsea wants to develop a stronger pipeline to Anderlecht and who wouldn't really. Lukaku, Musonda Jr., Tielemans, Mitrovic, plus a big pipeline into one of the top Belgian academies.

I think unless some Belgian players other than Eden Hazard start becoming regulars for Chelsea, it won't be that easy anymore to attract the younger generation. They've seen what happened to KDB and Lukaku. I think the smarter ones (read: the ones everyone would like to buy), are going to take smaller steps towards the top. Hazard had been proving himself for four years in the French league. That's a different story.

Happened to Lukaku? He wanted the loan himself! And De Bruyne hasn't proven himself worthy either!

"He's less talented, but more determined and physically stronger than Eden."

What a bullshit sentence. How is Eden not "determined"? And they seem to have a similar build.

Because it doesn't say that: 'Eden isn't determined'. If you reread that statement it states that Eden is determined and Thorgan is even more so.

Well, isn't that exactly my point? Both of them are players to look up to for the (even) younger generation, yet they failed at Chelsea.

Thorgan reported at training today at Zulte. But it's a huge question if he steps on the plane to Marbella winter training tommorow. Anderlecht meanwhile also has a seat free for him on theire plane to Abu Dhabi. Rumours say Anderlecht agreed a deal with Chelsea to take over the loan deal from Zulte.

Wich plane is he gonna step on tommorow?

Lukaku has failed at CFC?

Lukaku has failed at CFC?

Apparently 17 goals at West Brom at age 19 including a second half hat trick at Old Trafford and 9 goals in less than half a season at Everton at age 20 is insufficent progress. Couple that with the blinding strike force of Eto, Torres and BA I'd say yes Lukaku has failed at Chelsea

Lukaku has failed at CFC?

I would say that he hasnt even begun
