What they are saying about Hazard "Hazard is a very good player. He has many qualities. He is particularly rapid in the first 10 yards." Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson "He can play in any top team in the world, today or tomorrow." Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany "His creative ability, his talent for unbalancing opponents, his vision of the game, and his consummate skill in making the final pass all make him an in-demand player." Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger "Eden is technically gifted and very fast. I would take him to Real Madrid with my eyes closed. He can become a great footballer, he is a star of the future". Real Madrid director of football and former France international Zinedine Zidane "Faster than Zidane, more technique than Thierry Henry." Former France international Christophe Dugarry "At times he looks like Lionel Messi." Former Marseille manager Rolland Courbis
Do you think with Hazard joining you Roman has promised a spending spree?. Class player btw as is Hulk if you get him.
It goes without saying that he would have been given certain assurances, amount of games he’d play in a season, potential player targets etc. Is that construed as a “spending spree”?
Hopefully you do go on one tbh, you need to get rid off some of the older players. Would like to see Chelsea challenge for the league again. Aslong as you give my team 3 points.
Anyone know anything about Eden's younger brother Thorgan. Have heard he's not a bad prospect himself and he's two years younger than Eden.
Eden himself says Thorgan will be better then him, he also has a 2 younger brother's called Kylian who is in Lille's Academy. His other brother who is 7 I think is called Ethan, still plays in Belgium.
I'll believe nothing until I see it in print on the Chelsea website, I feel there's still time for this deal to be hijacked!
I reckon the deal has mainly been kept quiet due to the likelihood of signing Hulk as well, so naturally they would prefer to announce them on the same day. Just saying that's my theory. I'm sure he is a Chelsea player. His team mates all think it.
Opta ‏@OptaJean 15 - Lionel Messi & Eden Hazard were the only players with at least 15 goals & 15 assists in the top 5 European leagues last season. Talent.
