Eden Hazard

What do you mean by a notification?

It's from my Bleacher Report app. I have push notifications on my phone and one of the sections I've set notifications on for is world football transfers. They don't make up anything on their own, just report things from other media outlets but there was one this morning claiming a 32m pound move to Madrid.

Oh, I see. Thanks man. Someone else claimed he knew a Chelsea ITK who is certain he is off to Paris. Apparently, his wife wants out of London too.

Just had an interesting thought if there was a chance of signing Hazard and Bale in the same window instead of signing Pogba would you be happy with that? Personally I think that makes us a side even Barca wouldn't take lightly more than one with Pogba in it.

Nope. I'd rather Gundogan, Pogba a decent younger right back and the same attacking mids we have now for another season with 50m in change to get someone who can play with or instead of Sergio and Nacho.

Zidane thinks Hazard is the 3rd best player in the world after Messi & Ronaldo.

What's Zidane smoking?

Better ball control, better dribbler (Yes, he is better than Hazzard at what Hazzard is known for). Better passer, better vision, better defender, higher work rate. Hazard is quicker in and out of breaks, and scores more. But then again he has more opportunities.Average vision ( hence why he dribbles so much) decent passer, but not as good. Strikes the ball better, but makes more poor decisions shooting ( I.e. selfishly shooting off balance after 1 of his dribbling runs), that's why he misses a lot.

But the greatest difference is ball control. Isco is the closest thing to Iniesta I've seen when it comes to making a ball stick. He can control it at any height with ease. Hazzard in the other hand is at best decent.

There are other qualities Hazzard is better at, but they aren't quite easily quantifiable. I think he has a greater sense of confidence perhaps. And a belief he is the best player on the field regardless of what the facts actually are. I don't think Isco has that. But that is easy to develop.

In terms of Actual technical skill, Isco is better at almost all except for shooting, quickness ( not speed- as both are equally not top end speed wise) and Hazard's patented turn away dribble.

I'll take Isco everyday and Twice on Saturday.

I appreciate the detailed answer Dax! Personally I've just not seen that in him often enough. Kinda think of isco like nasri without the finishing ability. But I do rate nasri very highly.

With hazard I've liked him since he was at lille. I think on top form he's the only player in the league who can compete with aguero (although I might be adding kdb to that list).

Got to say I much prefer James to isco, but he doesn't seems to be too highly rated on this board. But that season where he basically scored 1 in 2 and assisted 1 in 2 was incredible.

I think that is coz there is a sense we are not interested in James, and he is likely to end up at Arsenal or the rags. Best to not give too much praise to a guy not coming here.
Let me syart out by admiting i might be partial to Isco, but James is a better attacking prospect. Has a sweet left foot. Scores wonder goals. I saw him abuse Otamendi badly when Colombia played Argentina. And that's pretty hard to do. Otamendi has his faults but when it comes to lock down tackling, he is up there.

I'd still take Isco coz of his versatility. James blows hit and cold a lot at Madrid and doesn't like the defensive part of his duties.

Oh on a side note, another quality Hazard has over Isco is balance and strength. He dribbles often by getting his body in the way and riding tackles. Isco does it too, but not at Hazard's level.

Obviously hazard hasn't covered himself in glory this year but I'm surprised that so many people have forgotten how good he was at Chelsea in the title year. And even the years before that. Makes me wonder if he's damaged goods to a few of our fans. Hazard at 32m is the deal of the summer for me. Would not shock me if he was double that again next year.
