Saw that. They can have his pubic hairs for £32m. He'll stay or we'll get £60m+.

 

[Jatz]

There's no way he's worth 60m currently. And I'm not sure you could afford him to have this season 2 years in a row.

I think he'll stay but if he does go, it won't be for 60m imo.

 

[Van_Dyke]

Hazard is worth more than £32m

 

[Zidane98]

Agree. Perhaps Hazard is trying to force his way out of Chelsea, hence the lower purported fee.

Bullsh*t. He's worth what someone will pay for him and Real Madrid are notoriously stupid for paying overs so I'd be surprised if he went for under 60m. Do you think Raheem Sterling was 'worth' 50m when Liverpool sold him to City? Players go for high prices, it's an inflated market.

And when you say 'currently', have you've cherry picked his last season and put a price on him based on that? Because that would be a silly thing to do. Have a look at what he's accomplished at 25 already. One poor season does not erase all that.

In your opinon, what is Hazard worth and what is Mahrez worth?

would chelsea fans 'swap' hazard for hames the columbian?

Don't think Raheem was worth that, no.

Cherry picked? I'm basing it on the present, not what he did once upon a time. He's a very talented player but this season has been awful. Kolo Toure, Robert Huth etc all have more goals than him. If you don't think his value has been impacted...

Hazard about 45mil. Mahrez 25-30 odd.

Tough one.

Hazard wanting out.....yes. But if hes happy where he is and turns it around then no.

Cant see us taking only 32m for him though.

 

[Gosha]

would chelsea fans 'swap' hazard for hames the columbian?

Nope. He's more suited to Spanish football and has already said he wouldn't like the physicality of the PL.

You think it would impact on his value a lot more than I do. I don't disregard six odd years of quality football because of one bad season. If he was 33 and on the way out I might, but not at 25.

It's not a 'bad' season. Wayne Rooney is having a bad season. Eden Hazard is having the worst season of anyone I can remember in many years. It just cannot be ignored.

Which makes Real Madrids interest all the more ridiculous.

 

[Firestarter]

RM wanting Courtois made the rounds ln Twitter a little while back. Just thought I'd add something useless.

When does Real Madrid and common sense go together though.

Not ignoring it but I think there's more to it than just a sudden drop in form. His fitness has been questionable at the best of times this season and his dad came out recently and said he's had a hip injury all season and Chelsea have been pushing him to play with it. I wouldn't be surprised if Mourinho was playing Hazard at 60% because he's so reluctant to playing any of our youth or depth players and I think playing him with an injury niggle would've eventually taken its toll - physically and mentally.

I'm not sure how much you watch of Chelsea but he was noticeably slower this season and always looked hesitant about taking players on. That was his specialty last season and if you take it out of his game he's going to look ordinary because he was never a strong finisher. I also think the media downplayed the seriousness of his injury because it didn't add to their Chelsea crisis/Mourinho and Eden fallout stories they were running with so frequently at the start of the season. I'm not denying that any of it happened, some of it just seemed pretty fabricated. For example, stories like Eden 'giving up' at Leicester - it all would've influenced the public's perception of him.

You trust his Dad over your club's medical department?

Eden did give up at Leicester. Took the slightest of knocks and then raced up the tunnel quicker than he had run throughout the game.

Just sounds like a cop out to be honest. I don't think the hunger has been there for him and his mentality has come across as awful at multiple times in the season.

Just because the medical team gave him the all clear does not mean he hasn't been playing through pain. He's not playing at the moment and never strung a large period of games together throughout the season so I'm pretty confident in saying that he has been injured. The Belgium team are also communicating with Cobham and Wilmots acknowledged he has an injury so I'm not buying this conspiracy that he's faking it.

He also didn't play the following match after Leicester and was then used as a late sub in the match after that. I think he's mentally weak but I don't think he's at the point where he would throw the game away.

l'equipe apparently say that rennes mid/fwd that everyone is chasing ousmane dembele has a 5 mil buyout clause.

 

[kaiserchief13]

Hazard is not worth more than 30 million euros. Even at his best he is good, not great. This season he has been horrendous.

Do you rate anyone that doesn't play for Bayern?

Surprised Bayern aren't more into him. Big step up club wise from Chelsea, Munich a great place to live (especially in October) and Hazard is virtually a younger clone of Ribery who surely finishes up this season.

 

[moomba]

I could see Hazard doing well at Bayern.
