Eden Hazard

[City Raider]

Pep spoke about the amount of time we spend looking at the personality of a player. The squad seems so harmonious and it hasn't been assembled by chance. There's too much risk here.

what if Pep's decided he fits the bill and will bring something else out of him?

sarri going to chelsea might just make hazard stay.

There's a lot of smoke for there not to be a fire

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

In reality we won't need our forwards as wide with Mendy fit so hazard could occupy any of the front 3 roles. I think if there is any chance we should do it. Kevin and Vinny know him well, we would know if he had an attitude problem.

Hazard can play multiple positions up front, including a false 9, retains possession, scores and has that annoying trait of being a greedy shit & incredibly creative. If we have the chance, why not?

I'd prefer a player like Bailey, but we have looked at Sanchez & Mahrez recently who share more similarities with Hazard.

Rather we didn't great player, but a diving cheat and when he can't be arsed performing (which seems to often) is a waste of talent

But sarri has just signed a new one year contract?

Is there actually a lot of smoke? Any decent sources said anything yet?

If we are going to spend 100 Million on a single player (particularly one who will have limited re-sale value in five years) then he would have to significantly improve our chances of winning the Champions League. I am not sure Hazard is that player. He is very talented but I do not think that he scores enough goals - 1 in 3 for Chelsea and 1 in 4 for Belgium - respectable but I think we need more. I would rather sign Greizmann tbh.

He didn't he just said in an interview that he is leaving and will manage outside Italy.

I think he’s a diving little **** who oversells minor fouls and his ego/work rate/effort levels are fair game to question.

Having said all that this club, this staff, this manager, and this ownership do their due diligence and have done a 10/10 job of bringing in the right type of players that gel well and haven’t been a problem in the dressing room at all. If he’s a target and we actually buy him then he’ll know damn well his place in this squad and what’s required of him. I’m not at all worried about him being a disturbance or worried about his defensive work rate. He’ll sit his ass on the bench if he doesn’t work and Kevin and Vinny will kill that ego/club disturbance issue, if that’s even real, in an instant.

He will know his role, what’s expected of him, and will do it all with a smile on his face whether he’s happy or not. Theres a reason we never lose anyone we don’t want to lose and rarely at all have issues behind the scenes and that’s because we take care of our players and recruit the right types of personalities.

Then fair play but don't see it.

[Barcon]

Then fair play but don't see it.

I agree.

 

[cityzennn93:20]

where is the wide defense ?

 

[Andouble]

Get the feeling we really are in for him after the chairman’s interview.

 

[Bpughh]

where is the wide defense ?

not a bayern fan but i believe that was a very fluid shape due to personnel. alonso seen at cb some, bernat lwb, rafinha rwb... 5231...it's pep. doesnt matter so much...

we might see something like that against a relegation battling team at home but never in a big game in my opinon. also do you guys have an idea which game pep played that formation ?

 

[doobyedoobye]

The only reason to not want Hazard would be if he was seriously injury prone or a majorly disruptive influence and he is neither
