This is my take on the Hazard rumours. For the person who said Hazard doesn't "carry" Chelsea. He's been carrying them since he was 22.
And this is supposed to be a down season in which him and Chelsea have struggled. He's consistently one of the best creator and dribblers in world football and can be unplayable at times.
Under Pep, he'll all but double his goals and assists tally. I don't think some of us understand how much playing for a very defensive manager can hamper a player yet Hazard has been one of the best players in Europe since he arrived in the league. In almost every game Chelsea plays against one of the other big teams, Hazard has to play on the counter attack and feed off scraps yet he finds a way to be influential.
He's had to play under Mourinho and Conte for virtually all his Chelsea career and even before them Di Matteo and Benitez. He's never played for an attacking manager before. Pep can turn him into the best player in the world. Having him in this side will take City to the next level in Champions league. I see why Pep will want to sign him now. I think its a possible signing with Chelsea in Europa league and Hazard being 27. If he doesn't leave now he'll be 29 next time he plays in the CL and there's no guarantee Chelsea will be in any sort of position to be relevant in that competition any time soon. We HAVE to go big for him I feel. Or at least try.
