Fending off the urge
I don’t know about the drive, but I think with modern training and nutrition, a player shouldn’t be declining at 28.
Sanchez and rooney says hi

I just dont think he has that drive anymore, more like last big paycheck move.
Plus it's very rare for a 28 yo not to decline naturally. He might still be a class player but i just dont see uim as the 100m worth player for long
Madrid are going to be a force again.£130m with only 1 year left on his contract and 28 years old, well done Chelsea! Wouldn't call it a steal at all but looks like Real are going all out and not caring about age / contract length etc, it's a summer of spending to overhaul the squad.
Woody would have sold him for £50m and paid off the last year of his contract.
Woody, see Chelsea and now do the same with DDG!
How is that Chelsea have been able to sell hazard for that amount whilst having just one year remaining in his contract, we only the other hand.
I guess woody will some day drive Pogba to Madrid for 10 million pounds.
I do not think he is going to decline. Zidane also came to Madrid with 28 or 29 and could have played one more season.
I think situating him in the context of last year is wrong. I think we are going to see a completely different version of many players, and not the withered version of last year.
For years we had no top signings and I think people will receive him with great enthusiasm. (I wonder if he will be capable of filling Bernabéu in his presentation?. Something like this would be fine too :)
The fact that he has shown so much will to come will also bring him many sympathies.
The only way he could be criticized is if he had the careless attitude of many players this season.
I'm looking forward to seeing him in combination with different players. The left with Marcelo, Benzema, and even Vinicius, and hopefully Isco. I also wonder if he will play in a totally free role in the attack, on the left or in the center.
Ronaldo says Hi!!
It’s not worth getting Bale for any period of time now. He’s turned us down one too many times and I feel he goes against what Ole is trying to build.Is it worth getting Bale foe a season or two while waiting for Sancho to join, pretty clear Sancho won't move in this window and Bale on the right would be an upgrade for you, maybe take him for an Ibra amount of time!

All of things won't happen, he won't decline though. The caf is weirdly obsessed with ageDecline eh? Don't make me laugh. At Chelsea it wasn't even his final form. We're going to see the real hazard now.
But if by decline you mean the treble next season with him winning the Ballon d'Or the year after, then yeah. He'll decline.
It really is. There are thousands of posts here with the “don’t want xxx. He’ll be 30 in xx years” Absurd considering that some players, specially technical ones, play their best football in their early 30’s.All of things won't happen, he won't decline though. The caf is weirdly obsessed with age

I'd understand the worry if it concerns a Utd player we're signing but this id Hazard for Real Madrid. His fitness track record id excellent. Caftards are weirdosI think that's something to do with Manutd players declining in the late 20s or early 30s.
Rooney declined early
Schweinsteiger was signed when he was 31 and was poor for us
Sanchez looks completely done when he was 29
Matic
Maybe that's the reason. Every player is different but it's not surprising that caf is worried about players age.

Ronaldo is very rare.Ronaldo says Hi!!
Why didn't Real Madrid wait one more year? They could have saved £88 million or £130 million. No matter how rich they are, that's still a lot of money. Hazard has flirted with Real for so long and its a no brainer he would move to Real after his contract ends.

Unless you beileve taht Ronaldo is the average template for how footballer age.
Meh Hazard has made it so publicly that Real Madrid is his dream club so he won't make it difficult for himself if his contract ends and it's always the agent's job to protect the interests of the player so irregardless of the agent fees, I highly doubt it would be anywhere close to the reported fee. Hazard is always going to get a high base salary anyway. I guess its probably more of due to the fact what the poster said below you, a trophyless season could cost more.Because they want to be good now, not in a year. They'd need to pay £50million or so in agent fees and signing on fees if they signed him next year too, considering that's what the likes of PSG and Juventus would probably be offering, and would need to pay higher wages too I think.
Florentino needed a big name to appease and placate us. He's the biggest name available right now.Why didn't Real Madrid wait one more year?
We were discussing the state of the team without Hazard and Ronaldo respectively. Ronaldo did give his best years to Madrid, yet he won more here than Hazard and Chelsea.Considering Ronaldo gave all his best years to Madrid..I’d say him leaving UTD was worse
Ronaldo is one out of a 1000 player that still can play well at age 34.

Still not Mbappé though. Think that's what i'm gonna call him from now on, not-mbappé
How many players in the past 6 seasons have had a world class season in our club?When was the last time Utd sold their best player? All hail Chelsea/ Liverpool/ City - they do everything better than Utd.
Funny there's no "He's turning 29 in the middle of next season!" Posts
Almost to the day!7th of January 2020 actually.
Hazard has been by far their best player for them for the best part of the last decade, though. He's basically irreplaceable, I'm not sure how getting a good fee for him means it's a good deal. Ask any Chelsea fan and I'm sure they'd have preferred him staying vs 100m that they can't even spend.Almost to the day!
Its a great deal for Chelsea
