Eden Hazard

[Armaan]

Clown is wasting his career there. City are a special team and any player should be jumping at the chance of signing for us.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Only on a CIty forum would people debate if signing Hazard is good or bad. Incredible really.

Just imagining how pathetically idiotic one would sound if a fan of Real Madrid, Barcelona etc. posted something like "Yeah but Mahrez/Bailey/Zaha/<insert good/decent footballer> is a better option than Eden Hazard/<insert pretty fucking good footballer>."

Wonder when we'll grow out of the little city mentality and recognize the stature of our club. If Pep fucking Guardiola wants Mr. Hazard, then we do our best to get him.

And before any genius comes up and posts "Yeah but look at United buying stars didn't help them did it," don't forget to consider what our manager (or any other manager who isn't a dinosaur like Mourinho) could have done with the talent at United. This is even before considering how the biggest clubs like Madrid and Barcelona etc. continually buy world class players every summer and have been doing for decades to reach the level which we currently aspire to reach someday.

Again, if Pep wants him that means he's done more than enough of his due diligence on Hazard (including his nonexistent egomaniacal nature). Not like Mr. Pep hasn't managed the biggest names in this sport for, well, the whole of his career to put up with yet another egocentric jerk, if Hazard even is one.

Ask any Chelsea fan who they'd rather have had this year and they'd say Zaha or Mahrez.

He did literally f**k all this season in an attempt to undermine Conte. Did the same with Mourinho.

You get to do that once, but twice shows you are the problem and not the coaches.

I don't believe the man who got rid of Ibrahimovic would want this character near our dressing room, talented or not.

A brilliant and timely summation.

This post should be bookmarked at the top of the transfer forum!

There's a whole forum dedicated to transfers where fans can discuss the merits of potential targets. I don't see your particular problem in relation to Hazard being discussed just like everyone else is.

Agreed.

It may be closer in regards Mahrez,as for Zaha........pmsl.

I think because Hazard is one of the top ten players in the world and it's incredible that any City fan wouldn't want us to sign him, or anyone else of his calibre.

Ok cheers. But it's just people discussing their opinions. I don't see what he's getting so worked up about. He clearly thinks Hazard is the nuts and that's fine. Others don't, and that's fine too.

But but if Mr Pep is supposed to be a great manager, why can't he train Patrick Roberts or Brahim Diaz to help them reach Hazard's level? It's so simple! :D

This board is sometimes ridiculous. People don't understand that City's squad is still not at top CL level, it's full of young players and is elevated by manager's genius. It's far from standards set by Real Madrid and Barcelona. I've seen posters seriously comparing KdB-Silva pair with prime Xavi-Iniesta who had transformed modern football. Delusion! Mourinho would be moaning about the lack of quality having this set of players.

Just an example: next season Real Madrid will have Marcelo (world's best attacking LB) and Theo (world's best young attacking LB) as LBs and both RBs from Spanish NT (Carvajal and Odriozola). Unbelievable!
Meanwhile City have Mendy after ACL injury, converted midfielder in Delph who can't run as a genuine fullback, good athlete that can't pass the ball in Walker and Madrid's reject in Danilo. Yet you'll see posters proclaiming that City have worldclass fullbacks...

Back to the topic: in Sane's words, "Hazard, Messi, Ronaldo, and Neymar are on a level no one else can currently compete with."

You can fuck right off with that intelligent view.
Just not allowed on Blue Moon.
Well said that man (or woman).

One bust his arse to get points for his team, the other didn't give a toss.

Stop thinking about the players overall talent level or history and look at it purely based on output this season.

Hazard did nada.

I disagree,he's human,he needs a fresh environment.

He has played in a team with no leadership,inspiration or bottle.The rags were awful the other day but Hazard pretty much won that Final on his own.

His talent is proven,and in a team like ours his enthusiasm will shine.

His talent level is phenomenal, nobody is denying that.

But to your first point, isn't he supposed to provide that? Let's be honest here, it isn't just him.

Him, Costa, Fabregas, David Luiz...all turn it on when they give a damn. Every other season with Chelsea.

But I just don't see our club shelling out the cash needed for a player that isn't a bona fide guarantee.

 

[Easy]

Sane all day for me but, unlike the rags, Pep will pick his teams on form, tactics and opposition and not salary, so I disagree he will start every game.

I also disagree with the wages, but that is simply because we have a wage structure that everyone seems to be happy to adhere to. I don't see any player having such kudos to changing that.

I agree that he doesn't currently work enough defensively and would counter that with we had quite a few stars who were equally culpable and now have the correct work ethic. I dont foresee us buying any player who Pep does not believe he can get them to adapt.

Hazard would surely demand to be our best paid player. You don’t sign a £100m forward and pay him £150k a week. He will ask for parity with top earner at a minimum. Think Aguero is top earner. This is Hazard’s last big contract, with Sanchez earning £500k+ pw, Hazard will ask for £300k pw minimum imo.

This would create problems. Jesus will ask us why we wont pay him £100k pw yet easily give the new guy triple that.

Yes he doesn’t pick based on salary but he is such a big investment that he will start as many games as Kevin and David. It’s hard to compare as we haven’t bought such an expensive player but he would surely start the majority of games, makes no sense to buy him otherwise.

Bravo mate take a bow!

 

[Dax777]

Have no problem with an insubordinate attitude? Willian thinks he is bigger than everyone at the club which is a cancerous peronality and taking out his frustration of being rightfully benched on his manager is unacceptable. Aguero behaved professionally and regained his position despite being benched.

I don't think his benxhben was performance related.

 

[Serg10Aguero]

Just read the old Hazard thread from 2012, everyone was so convinced he'd join, even I was getting convinced lol. ITK's all saying it's done, people claiming construction managers in Lausanne said it's done, Hazard said he'll be wearing blue and later said he's coming Manchester, I didn't know we were this close! What could have been :(

 

[Dax777]

I think because Hazard is one of the top ten players in the world and it's incredible that any City fan wouldn't want us to sign him, or anyone else of his calibre.

Bale is top class, I don't want him. Iniesta is top class I don't want him. Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar, Lewandoski are all top class. And I find the addition of none of them attractive.

Sure Hazard is on my Yes list. But he could be on others 'No' list. There are legitimate reasons to not want a player even if he is world Class. Lots of Barca fans didn't want Zlatan when Barca paid excessively to get him. It didn't work out just as some had predicted.

Some World Class players fit, while others may not. I believe Haza can play Dave's role and also Sane's well. Others may see a petulant coach killer.

So the norion that everyone should want him coz he is supeetalsuper is silly. There sometimes is more to the story than just if a player is WC

 

[hartshairgel]

I assume both Vinnie and KDB will let Pep know if they think there may be a problem with Hazard. I also doubt Pep would be so arrogant as to ignore or not consider their views. I trust the manager and the Chairman to do the right thing whether Hazard, Mahrez, Zaha or Bailey.
