What sold him was he was very unselfish player who was good at playing his back to goal and give midfielders a platform to score goals. Gourcuff was the perfect example. Also that he was good in the air and would be good backup player to have around. He started well, but since december after that scandal broke down, he's a shaddow of the player he was.LoveCity said:It's true, Chamakh had an awful strike rate with Bordeaux, it improved a little and what seemed to sell Wenger on him (besides being a Bosman transfer and we know Wenger likes his "bargains") is how well he played in Europe for them that year. A bit like Jo at CSKA except Jo had a great scoring record domestically and in Europe but turned out to be absolute rubbish like Chamakh.
Hazard can't be compared to Chamakh, Hazard is on the radar of every top club in Europe just like Alexis Sanchez was. He could be the best winger in world football before too long. Real Madrid will be the team that lands Hazard I think, imagine Hazard on the right and Di Maria on the left if Mourinho played both. Unplayable.
Even in France he was atleast running the channels and working hard. He stopped doing that now and just look like he lost all desire.
Hazard is a better version of Gervinho. A quick player who can beat players and score and assists. Gervinho has 4 goals and 5 assists in 14 starts. Its decent for a player that just came to the league and he would have had much better stats if he hasnt missed so many sitters.
hazard is also very very young, just 20. There's alot more improvement to come from him
