Great read! Thanks for posting. That Lampard bit speaks a lot about his humility. Lucky Eden's married and has a good sensible head on him. If the club continues to do well and lift major trophies, and he's enjoying his football, I don't see why he won't stay for a lot longer than most people think.

i still think that pass to schurle against city was his best play of the year , that goal against maribor was pretty tight tho

I would of loved it if he scored that chance away to Utd.

Got to see him up close in Sydney last night and I'll just say I'm jealous of you folk that get to watch him every week in London. What an incredible player

Hazard will be captain for Belgium against France on sunday. I'm looking forward to that game :)

Chelsea’s Eden Hazard is now more valuable than Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo

Well that's horsesh*t. The most valuable player in the world based on transfer fee isn't even on that list lol.

Neymar is younger and just as talented -_-

Lol @ sterling being worth that much

What a joke

Overrated, should be sold to make room for a youth team player.

Sterling, worth that much.....LOL

How is Neymar behind Hazard. Strange.

Ronaldo and neymar contract ends two years earlier that's probably why Eden is in front of them...I still don't get sterling being there tho

...Just gets better and better!

That goal last night was ridiculously sexy. Totally worth staying up half the night for.

i would love for him to get 30 goals next season similar to what ronaldo did at utd. he has the ability, he just needs to shoot more, more, more! 

He is not the finisher Ronaldo was/is yet though. Getting there maybe but if he got close to 20 league goals this season i'd be thrilled.

He'd be on 25 league goals a season if he wasn't selfish, it's admirable and helps the team out a great deal, but it means no one will ever compare him to the greats if he continues to be unselfish because fans only ever look at statistics to compare. Go back to West Ham away where he had put us 1-0 up, he was one on one during the very late stages about 5 yards out and only needed to roll the ball in but decided to pass it to Willian, it shows he puts the team above his own records but that may hinder him progressing to be one of the true greats

It's not all about how many goals and assists you get. Zidane is one of the greatest players to ever play the game and his goals and assists weren't exactly massive. I do think Hazard is capable of getting to 30 goals a season on a regular basis though, he has everything in his game to get that amount of goals.

You're right Scott Harris but in Zidane's time there weren't two players who were scoring 50 league goals a season year in year out, to be one of the best that's what you get compared to nowdays

I think Messi and Ronaldo are ridiculous goal scoring machines to be fair and 2 of the greatest to ever play the game. I doubt we will be seeing a player score the amount of goals they score for some time, especially a player that is playing in the Premier League.

Sometimes i have to pinch myself that he actually plays for my football club. I generally don't think i will see a more talented player play for Chelsea more than him thats how highly i rate him.

Debatable. Even now Ronaldo takes roughly 3 times as many shots as him during a season. With a conversion rate that's not too far away from his as well. I think it would be great if we had more possession as a team. Hazard lacks a bit without the ball (in an attacking sense) compared to the likes of Ronaldo and Neymar but is comfortably better with it.
