You know it's international time when so called "writers" start making up stories, because there's no real ones to write. Not only has Ronaldo ever said he's leaving, Hazard has said he isn't leaving. Thats not enough to stop the story being written though. Can"t wait until normal play resumes.
It's pathetic isn't it. Someone probably said, "If Ronaldo DID leave, Hazard wouldn't be a bad replacement", then it snowballs in to a story.
I'm not going to lose sleep over it. Worst case scenario is that he does leave in a couple of years and we get around 70 million. It's not going to happen anytime soon so thankfully normality can resume this weekend with the P.L return.
I might have to eat my words here because the Independent is running a story that Chelsea will make a 60 mill bid for Ronaldo !!!!
!!! That would make the United guys **** kittens if we pulled that off. I thought he and Jose weren't the best of buds though? Can't see it happening
tbh I can definitely see it happening in a few years time (Hazard to Madrid). Definitely believe he'll be the best player in the world at some point.
can't take anything as is!! Do you seriously think Jose would fall out with Ronaldo & Pepe in the space of 2 or 3 weeks?
Needs to show a lot more to be a £60-70m Real Madrid player. That said, if them signing Hazard for that kind of money means we get to pick up another alienated Di Maria, Ozil like player then I am all for it. I'm still yet to see the consistency that Hazard needs to become a truly world class player - he is still young though, so I'm still hoping for the best.
Know what you mean Varier, and I think you might see it this season.There is a lot more grunt playing behind him this year, and he will not need to create as much for himself. If he moulds into the play from behind him, instinctively like great players can, then he just might finish the season as the player we all think he can be. Matic and Fabregas seem to have already developed an instinctive bond with Ivan in particular, and Ivan has improved amazingly with that input. I think Hazard and Costa, in fact all our front runners , will do the same. When we play as a clockwork unit, watch out. It's on the way from what Ive seen.
I have been watching Hazard since I made my post two games ago, and I can say now this boy insanely good. He looks like he is going to be a game winner for us this season. Also, there is not enough love for Willian. In my opinion, Willian is only second to Hazard in terms of bringing the ball up the pitch from deep lying position, and using pace and close control to his advantage. Both very potent attackers. Ramires is similar, but with less technical ability.
Willian suffers being in our side due to Fabregas and Hazard having so much of the ball, least that's how it seems. Under rated player but needs to be more involved.
One of the best things about Willian is the fact he creates space for Hazard and Fabregas while off the ball. Very useful in that respect.
