If he stays I just hope we bite the bullet and spend what’s needed on a striker and RW to compliment Hazard. We need a front line to be feared

Danke mate. TBH I have always wanted to travel to Belgium. I was stationed close to Belgium when I was in the US Army. I have been was Luxembourg & Bitburg, but we know that is not the real thing. I know that is about a stone throw away from Belgium. I have made attempts to visit but always thwarted in the last minute. It's on the bucket list now. Cheers mate!!!

Don't throw the stone to hard, Robdog!

I love Eden but I think it's really unprofessional to talk about wanting to play in Spain every time he is on international duty. 

Eden?

Unprofessional?

 

That's a new one.

We have to accept he will leave either this summer or in 2020... Because :

A) His dream is to play at RM and they can't afford to play dross like mariano if they wanna win their 14th UCL

B) Courtois will play the snake role like in the Jungle Book / Adam and Eve and will devilishly try to convince him to come to RM by arguing that he deserves better than us

Therefore, we must win this season (i.e either the EL or the PL) to qualify for the UCL next season AND we must do so by playing the best Sarriball possible ... Otherwise, we're fcuked !!!

f**ked?

Why should you be f**ked?

Hi, this is my first post..

Just watched the Hazard interview and didn't like what he said, "I want go to Madrid but not in the January window".

In the summer he'll be into the last year of his contract which leaves Chelsea vulnerable, He could go for as little as 70 million.

If he doesn't sign a new contract by Christmas Chelsea should sell. Saying that Madrid are clever won't bid this January and leave Chelsea to fester knowing they'll get their man on the cheap in the summer.

Hi, Ash1407.

Welcome on the Eden Hazard topic.

I think the question would he go to Madrid has been answered. Yes 100%. Would he be fine staying at Chelsea? Probably. At the moment yes 100%. Would he prefer to go to Madrid? He'd be an idiot to not go.

The only question we don't know the answer to is, do Madrid actually want to buy him?

Yes! They want him, Benjsross.

But they want him for free.

Then they can have him for free at the end of his contract. 2 more full seasons with Hazard and him leaving when he's nearly 30. Perfect. 

Id rather 2 seasons of Hazard than 1 and a lump of cash. 

You're my man!

First post here after Hazard comments, been a Chelsea Fan since 2004.

We need to accept reality. Other than offering him huge contract wages we can't do much anymore, if Real comes calling Hazard will go.

I was actually thinking how many of our players would make Madrid Starting XI and could only come up with 2 names (Eden and Kante). FFS they have world class players at every position, unfortunately for us Madrid roster is younger, better and a class above us

What we should do is offer Hazard a sign and buy-out clase contract. Maybe we can make 120 million next summer.

Welcome on the Eden Hazard topic, Dell201050!

Interesting first post.

If Real really wanted him at the start of this season, they would have pushed for the deal a lot harder, and they didn't, they are keeping options open for others.

Your'e right, but last season he was terrible, this season he's on fire (so far), so it's more likely they will approach him if he keeps this form going till the new year. It's good for us Chelsea fans if he keep his form going, good for the club when they put down their asking price. If his form dips they will want him cheaper and could end up forcing the club to hold onto him for his last season, again we fans win on that option.

I wouldn't say he was terrible last season, I still think he was our best player alongside Kante and Rudiger. Hazard was actually playing really well up until February and then didn't get his form back until the final few games of the season. I think Hazard's form wouldn't have dipped so much if Conte wasn't so afraid of every team we faced.

Your right it wasn't terrible, but compared to this season it was night and day.

There isn't a single player in the world who would have looked as good in that role in the system Conte was playing. 

If Hazard leaves in the summer I would regard him as one of the legends of the club and if it's true that he needs to leave the Premier League in order to get a Golden Ball or whatever he wishes then I wish him all the best in that pursuit.

That’s nonsense that he needs to leave the epl to get it.

If he plays to his abilities he could easily get it, the fact he hasn’t so far is down to how good Messi and Ronaldo have been. He wouldn’t have got a sniff at it in the past 5 years regardless of where he played down to how unbelievable those two legends have been.

Ironically he could even win it before he leaves.

Shame they didn't ask him "what about Conte" ?

He is such a nice guy, don't be harsh with him. He is obviously trying to be diplomatic - to Chelsea, to the fans, Real, the former managers...  and the bloody media is trying to make stories out of his decency.
