January 17, 201610 yr Well it could all be immaterial if RM's transfer ban is upheld...maybe PSG will ask a few questions about Hazard but that's all... Not really, when RM appeal the ban won't start after the summer so RM will do all the transfer business then and if they want Hazard they will get him. Like Barca did with Suarez when they appealed there ban.
January 17, 201610 yr Not really, when RM appeal the ban won't start after the summer so RM will do all the transfer business then and if they want Hazard they will get him. Like Barca did with Suarez when they appealed there ban. This is unlikely to be the case, as any appeal will most likely be heard before the summer transfer window. Barca were banned in may, so they were lucky in the fact they're appeal process went over into the summer window, therefore delaying the ban. It's unlikely both madrid clubs will be afforded that luxury.
January 21, 201610 yr Against what opposition? Could Bale have carried Chelsea over the line to the PL title like Hazard did last season? Maybe, but probably not. Hazard didn't carry us anywhere last season. Yes he was our best performing player but he was so in a side that dominated the league. The season before, Jose's first back in charge, was the season he SHOULD have carried us over the line but he disappeared when it came to crunch time.

The season before, Jose's first back in charge, was the season he SHOULD have carried us over the line but he disappeared when it came to crunch time. I would still argue he did. Sure I know it was the team which won the league and everyone played there part - it's just some more than others. We could have won the league with a few of those missing but in my opinion, last season - No Hazard = No PL title. Can't recall All of the games and it doesn't just come down to goals but assists and general all round play and off the top of my head when it came to the crunch time run-in we were relying on Hazard in just about every game. He scored against Hull, Stoke and scored the only goal in three 1-0 wins - West Ham, Man Utd and Palace. I know most of our players have been out of sorts this season but I think we have seen what a fairly ordinary looking team we are without an in form Hazard.
February 1, 201610 yr Only player in the world I'd swap him for is Bale, that's how good he can be on his day.
February 1, 201610 yr Let me explain. There will be 'never' a Hazard - Bale swap! Not this year. Not next year. There will be never a swap. If the 100.759.417 euro man leaves Madrid, he'll go to Barcelona, Bayer München or Dubai FC. Two weeks ago, I was in Barcelona. The street rumours: Laporta wants new presidents elections in august 2016. He wants to chance La Masia and he wants Bale in his squad. If Messi will go to Man. City, Barotomeu needs another big name. Madrid looks for a Hazard solution. Zidane wants both.
May 27, 20179 yr Just been published by daily star ( I know) reports from spain saying bale straight swap for hazard on the cards, hate to lose hazard but thats a swap that wouldn't hurt as much as long as he can stay fit
May 27, 20179 yr Gullit mentioned the rumour on football focus today. I'm not sure as have not seen much of Bale. It could be he is past his peak and it is unlikely that Hazard has yet peaked. I am sceptical whether this would be a good swap, Bale often used to get injured though when he is on form he is a top player.
May 27, 20179 yr I can tolerate only one stupid hairdo, and if Traore is coming back, that spot is not available for Bale. I'm quite adamant. Plus he's too injury prone. But it's mainly the hair.
May 27, 20179 yr It would be an insane move, and one I can't see Roman agreeing to. We can't let Costa and Hazard leave in the same window, it will destroy the attack we have. Hazard is better than Bale now, now doubts about it. The only way to improve our attack is to keep the three Willian Pedro and Hazard, they are the basis of a great attack, just replace Diego with an even better forward.(if he leaves)
May 27, 20179 yr Why are these types of deals ever reported? How many times in the history of football have two superstars been swapped for each other? Every year there are rumors of such swaps but it's all utter piss Edited May 27, 20179 yr by TheChelsRVA
May 28, 20179 yr No. It's that simple really. Bale has become injury prone and there is nothing to suggest he is a better player than Hazard right now. Hazard has already made many hints he is staying anyway. The way he has been talking doesn't sound like someone that is leaving any time soon. If we want to give the Champions League a proper go, we need players like Hazard AND Bale in the team, not one or the other.
May 28, 20179 yr Just now, Barrettinator said: Why does this stupid thread still exist? Why does a transfer rumours thread exist in the transfer rumours section? Who knows.....why do you keep writing this type of post in seemingly every thread?

Bale looks to me like a player who has built his physique beyond the capability of his body, he never looked like he would be this size and shape and I think his body can't take it. Saying that, if hazard ever is to go to Madrid I would be quite happy to see us get bale in return if his fitness can be proven.
May 28, 20179 yr i would take bale and keep hazard, but a swap, no. bale is injury prone and not worth the risk of a swap. meanwhile hazard rarely gets injured.
