Eden Hazard (continued)

[Hkibou]

Listen sunshine. It's not just about individual awards you're right. However, taking into account the ages of the two players, the clubs they have both played for and the level of competition they have both competed, it's still clear to everybody (bar said individual's #1 fan) that Balotelli has achieved more.

Hazard has only played professional football in the French League. He has 1 French League winners medal.
Balotelli has played in Serie A & the English Premiership where he has 4 League winners medals and a Champions League winners medal.
Balotelli has also won the FIFA Golden Boy Award.

Also, the English Premier League is of a higher standard than the French League. Serie A is also of a higher standard than the French League.

Now, whilst Hazard may carry Lille in a lot of matches, that is because Lille aren't Inter Milan or Manchester City and Lille aren't in Serie A or the Premier League.

We accept you have a little infactuation with the lovely little Belgian fella and I would love to see him in the Premier League whether he's with City, United or Chelsea, however, don't let your love of him tamper with an honest assessment. Otherwise, you will just be made to look a little foolish, which, incidentally seems to be happening already.

Listen dawn.
You may have your opinion and i may have mine. For me, Hazard has been in situations that Balotelli never esperienced, situations that i deem necessary to forge a man. Maybe that's why Balotelly seems so immature at times, i don't know.

And frankly i don't care if he won the golden thing. As i said, awards and palmares are, TO ME, less important than what the guy had to get through in his career.

I'd like to recall that at the beginning the word that started the debate is to have "proven" more, not "achieved".
And one can prove a lot of things.
For me, Hazard has proven that he's physically able to play a whole season with a high level consistancy. He has also proven that he can pull up a team all by himself and make the whole team play better.
He has also proven that he is always at the service of the team, never putting himself in the lights, and that his mentality is unquestionable.

As for your argument of the weakness french League, it's imo irrelevant.
Because for starters the difference between City and the average PL level is far greater than between Lille and the average L1 level.
So yeah, maybe PL is harder, but when you have Silva, Aguero, Tevez, Touré at your sides it doesn't seem that scary anymore...
And also, the gap between L1 and other leagues didn't seem to bother Nasri, Ben Arfa, Ronaldinho, Cabaye, Saha ... and many others. Nor the weakness of Eredevisie bothered Suarez.


As for looking foolish, think what you want to think i really don't care. Maybe i can seem foolish but it's not that easy to debate alone against a whole forum in a foreign language ^^

That sounds as Raggish as I.ve ever heard from a so called outsider !!!!

Hazard is only 21. It is a huge decision as to where he chooses to play next season and beyond.

Lets all take a chill pill and calm down.

If he signs for City and I really hope he will then fantastic. We get to see him play and he gets to be on the same side as Silva, Aguero, YaYa, Kompany, Hart and many other top class players. City are going forward at pace, who would not want to be part of this?

If it is June 2nd, earlier or later when he makes his decision, fine. We would be signing him for years not days.

Enjoy these special times being a Blue.

 

[Plain Speaking]

We should not try and sell our club to Hazard as "the best wages" but the opportunity to win silverware with the most exciting football players in the PL: Silva, Aguero, Nasri, Yaya, VK, Clichy.
The spine of our team are not just great young players but likeable characters.
United have rogues like Evra, Nani, doughnut thief de Gea and the thug Rooney, while Chelsea have Meireles, Cole and the racist Terry.
IMO no contest!

That`s why we are constantly sharpening the knives and blocking off escape routes.

Must mean he's going to an English club then...

 

[Kompany is King]

Think Hazard has tweeted in English before, but no can't remember when or what he said.

He certainly did not say who he was signing for.

God forbid he do that

If he tweets, "It`s a fucking barm", it`s in the bag.
