Still get the same feeling watching the vid as I did at the ground. No matter how many times I watch it.
On Hazard, I must admit i've not really seen him play much. Mostly that's been Internationals and he looked like he was trying to do everything himself, not really that well.
I'm sure he's a totally different prospect to the games i've seen him, otherwise teams wouldnt be clamouring to sign him now he's available.
Has anyone on here actually watched him extensively (not highlight reels) and if so can you shed some more light as to just how good he really is?
ive watched about 10 games this season and on actual technical abillity he is better than nasri, ben arfa, cabaye, nani and mata with the pace of bellamy. The isue he has had this season is that lille have been below par apart from hazard, teams do everything they can to mark him out of the game but pretty much everything good from lille involved hazard just like the rebona kick against psg where he didn't get an assist he still created the goal.
as for france being a poor league, i think he will be twice the player here than he was this season because there will be great players around him.
p.s from what i could see joe cole gave him a little freedom when he played and in comparisson he is 3 times the player cole is.
