bluescot13 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Iv read on twitter that we are looking to sign eden hazards younger brother, any one else heard this rumour? Iv never saw him play but according to eden, his younger brother is the better player of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Boy Brandinho Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 His brother's only two years younger than he is, is a bit player for Lens and hasn't debuted for the senior Belgian national team yet. I'm sure Eden is just talking up his little bro. If he's cheap, then sure, why not? Something small like that could keep Eden happy and we might wind up with a decent talent we can sell on for a profit at some point. I doubt we'd have any interest if he weren't Eden's brother, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fearnley Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Agreed his record in France is nowhere near as impressive but his record for belgiums under 19s is pretty smililar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.J Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Signed them both for Villa on FM a year or two back and it went well lol Real bad transfer policy if we sign a player we're unsure on just cos his brother's here though Haven't we just signed 3 brothers from Anderlecht? One we really wanted, one we didn't mind, and the third we were lumped with? I think this third one will actually be too old for our U21 team soon aswell so that'll be awkward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midlandblue Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Just because the elder brother is a decent player doesn't mean the younger sibling will be any good. Graham Wilkins anyone (or was he the older brother?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timetowaste Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Well if we scout him and he's good then sure, I doubt we'd sign him just because we have Eden, he'd have to prove himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ace Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Speaking of brothers, Jordan Lukaku is supposed to be good according to FIFA12, so I'm sure we'll be signing him next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.J Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) Why do you think that? well let's say we are unsure on this said player - if he turns out good then cool, we've helped our 'main' player settle, and strengthened our squad in the process if they don't cut it we bring in a player who becomes unhappy and eventually gets shipped out to another club; whilst they have someone at the club who won't be ecstatic about that it's all hypothetical and footballers are grown men but still, main question should be as someone said earlier "would we sign this player if he wasn't related to *****?"

rahul Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I dont understand the problem with signing siblings if that makes player we are really after happy. Its not like we're going to pay a huge transfer fee and its also not like they going to disturb the first team. They'll play in the reserves for some time and if they are any good then first team otherwise sold, possibly at a profit too. Where is the problem?

goose Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Just picked up on part of a chat on talksh*t today when they were chatting about Thorgan Hazard. Whoever the so all expert was reckons that Chelsea would be signing the wrong brother, that he is the weaker footballer of the family. Apparently an even younger brother, Kylian, is the dogs bollicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently an even younger brother, Kylian, is the dogs bollicks. Apparently his 7 yr old brother Ethan is already better than all 3 combined! It's far too early to hazard a guess at which brother will be the best especially when 90 percent of us have never seen any of them play bar Eden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Boy Brandinho Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) I remember when John Bostock was supposed to be the next big thing. How'd that turn out? Eden Hazard is one of the best young footballers in the world. His brothers may have talent, but it's exceedingly unlikely that any of them will develop into as good of a player as he is, let alone be better. It's possible, of course, and it goes without saying that I haven't seen them play, but almost any time there's a family of footballers, you hear stories like this. "If you think ______ is good, wait until you see his little brother", yet the footballing world isn't exactly crawling with star siblings.

Zola Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) Thorgan Hazard allegedly tells Facebook ‘Im joining Chelsea’ Reports coming out of France and Belgium are suggesting that Thorgan Hazard has announced on his facebook page, a lot like Eden did on his Twitter, that he is joining Chelsea and the deal will be announced within 48 hours. Various european media subjects have reported it including John Chapman (belgofoot) who is an Belgium Football contributor to Four Four Two that lives in Brussels and was one of this first to report the Lukaku move to Chelsea. It has respectively been reported via French media www.lavoixdunord.fr as well. The fee is said to be around £2.5 million.
