Jovetic vs Hazard.......

[adrianr]

I'm Jovetic's biggest fan on here(even argued he is better than Tevez.) but I'd swap any City player bar Aguero for Hazard. I still get angry we never signed him.

Every time I hear his name I wince a little. Way more important than the De Rossi or RVP deals which also didn't happen.

Still, Jovetic displays different qualities. He was rated higher at a younger age than Hazard, I'd say he's more of a leader given the responsibilities put on him from earlier in his career, probably has a slightly better head for the big games as a result (pure conjecture but logical enough).. I wouldn't want to put a comparative number on his general football intelligence but he seems to have it in abundance.

If he has as good a first season as Hazard (doubtful as I'd be surprised if he features as much, more competition for places here), we'll all be very happy indeed.

Can't agree more.

Hazard imho is the next in line for the Bale, Messi, Xavi, Iniesta and Ronaldo hype and deservedly so. The lads unreal, he has it all. If he keeps injuries at bay I can see hiom being an absolute star on the world stage. Some tins and cups for Chelsea then off to a Spanish giant or possibly Munich awaits for a £100m+ transfer or if he's really savvy a Bosman.

Left foot, right foot, shooting, passing, turn of pace, awareness, dribbling, assisting and taking a game by the scruff of the neck. He can do it all.

City were right not to cave in for the agent but if I was in charge I'd have bit the bullet. It's not the done thing but when something special comes along you pay what you have to pay (if financially possible). He's basically a more stable mindset version of Kinkladze imo.

As for Jovetic. I saw him play in Italy for Fiorentina but nowhere near enough to start comparing to Hazard. Again he needs no injuries and a steady stream of games to get going, the signs are already there that he can play with the team without too much teething and his quality is already known. I hope for 15-20 goals next season and 10+ assists over the season. I guarantee him, Silva and Kun will blow our minds with some of the tidy interplay. Very excited by him just like the others, Navas is most of what we need and he already looks like a massive impact player.

I think he will have a much better first season than Hazard & will play lots of games.

I think Isco might also be a candidate for the same plaudits.

Yep. Pretty sure he's been bought as a 'starter'.

Just wiki'd to get his stats for post.

This is what he did;
Games -62
Goals - 13
Assists - 26.

That's being part of 39 goals over the season, a debut one at that. For Jovetic to have a ''much better first season than Hazard & will play lots of games'' you're essentially asking him to be a POTY or Balon'Dor top 10. You make it sound like Hazard hardly played, that's a myth, why else are Chelsea seen as having 'The Three Amigos'.

Anyway I do reckon jovetic will be a hit but hope he gets to play as striker as much as left sided player. That way he will notch up a better goals tally and be harder for teams to plan coach against.

Like I say, if he does we'll all be very happy. 13 goals and 25 assists in 62 apps is a great return in a new team. I'd be happy with a 20/20 split though ;)

Hazzard is good but jovotic will be better

Hazard is far better at dealing with ball boys

I wasn't that bothered we lost out on Isco but missing out on Hazard to a Premier league title rival fucked up my summer. We should have just gave his agent the money to push the deal through.
