Eden Hazard to Real Madrid?

When did Abramovich ever sell one of his key players? Hazard is going nowhere, at the end of the day he's staying put. Since Mourinho got sacked, they play much more attacking football and on top of that, they will buy big again. Exciting times for Chelsea fans.

Before the season started i wasn't sure whether Hazard could turn it around, but with this team (Kante, Luiz in it) and Conte he must be absolutely loving life atm. Moreover he can really stick it to Mourinho. He won't let go that chance.
 
Hope the feck that he does move, and hopefully it will be dragged out all throughout the summer. Hopefully it will weaken Chelsea, and Madrid will concentrate on snagging him instead of chasing after De Gea again.

They must have an eye on Ronaldo's age by now. They need to think about a replacement soon and they have been thoroughly outmuscled financially by the PL recently.

When did that happen?

I don't watch too much Premier League but when I saw Hazard he used to play on the left,in Cristiano's position.
In that case I guess that Cristiano would take Benzema's place.
Or perhaps being a #10?

Yeah Hazard plays on the left and through the middle for Chelsea, so the only way I could see him playing at Real is if he were to take Ronaldo's place and for Ronaldo to move up top. I can't see him playing the number ten role personally as I think he'd get into Ronaldo's way.

Surely at this point in their respective careers, Isco is better than Fabregas.
 
If Hazard goes to Madrid, he will most likely replace Ronaldo.

I'd love to have him back at United for a couple of seasons, make it happen Jose!!!!!

If I'm our board the only way I'd even consider selling him is if we can somehow get Sanchez. Since that almost certainly won't happen I wouldn't sell him for any price.

Conte is going to build something special and we need our best player to stay and be a part of that.

No, since Fabregas can play as a deep playmaker in 3-5-2 but Isco cant. Isco wont get into the team with a 3-4-3 or a 3-5-2 system.

Isco and James both would be waste of money for this Chelsea team and will face problems similar to what Oscar did. Atleast Oscar came with substantial marketability and shirt sales, Isco and James dont even bring that.

James has 6 times as many followers on instagram and he also has a lot more on twitter compared to Oscar. Even Isco has more than Oscar. They both are good players to have in terms of marketing and reading this thread, I think you should watch both a bit more. They are excellent players. Different to Hazard and possibly not as good, but very good signings for whoever gets them.

Hazard is not that good to be generating this kind of transfer buzz. Madrid can do much better if they need dribbling.

There's hardly anyone as efficient as him, when it comes to dribbling.
 
Ideally this would happen only if one of James or Isco leaves as we would be overloaded and it would be hard to keep the dress room content with that situation. Also I'd fancy the move if this means Benzema isn't an automatic starter anymore.

Oscar having more market value then James :lol: Where, on Mars?
 
Meh, i'd rather we spend stupid money for ousmane dembele honestly. More to the point...signing hazard to replace james/isco would be so incredibly dumb even for florentino. Hazard can't play in our midfield. And i'm not sure he improves us over benzema...

It does not work like that. Brazilian Chelsea fans are not going to buy James or Isco merchandise are they (not in numbers comparable to Oscar anyways). The same reason we held on to Mikel for ages past his sell by date (Nigeria being a big market for Chelsea like Brazil). Popularity of james and isco is more down to them being real madrid players since madrid is a global brand in it self.

In any case, both those players will be useless on the pitch for a 3-4-3 or 3-5-2 system so it does not matter. Its better for Chelsea to keep Fabregas instead. Only madrid player I could see Chelsea going for is Morata.
 
Wont happen this summer. He is contracted there until like 2021, and Conte doesnt look like he is going to sell him. Big fan

The only player who fits the bill for Chelsea in terms of transfer policy is Morata and maybe Isco (but he cant fit into any Conte system).

Hazard x James+Isco+money?

Conte could play a 343 with

Moses-Fabregas-Kante-Alonso
James----Costa----Isco

Isco might be a small downgrade from Hazard, but James is a huge upgrade on Pedro imo

When do we ever see these part exchange deals happening?
 
I would be more than happy for Madrid to sign Hazard as it would weaken Chelsea and hopefully put off the Dybala signing. I still have the very, very unlikely dream we will sign him.

They should sign Aubameyang. He would score a tonne of goals and think of the marketing potential - ABC (Assuming they use CR's first name).

At this level never, but there's a first time for everything

Madrid are in a exceptional situation, no team usually has surplus of players like Isco and James. If money can't convince Chelsea to drop Hazard maybe they'd need to try something like this, I doubt it tho

They would absolutely not be the best team in football with him. He is too inconsistent and invisible against the best teams for that.

I will concede he is a great dribbler.

Hazard invisible against the best teams? Look at his collection of goals against the Top 6 teams within the past year.

You sound absolutely ridiculous. He's literally the best player on a team that's won 2 titles in 3 years yet he's inconsistent. :wenger:

James an upgrade on Pedro? Playing as a CAM sure but out wide, No chance.

If James was coming for free or something I could understand but he would cost 40-50m in part exchange. Never going to happen.

He could be a lot better than what he is. At times it feels like he doesn't push himself enough to become the best.

Hazard styled his game on Zidane. He's not going to play like Cristiano Ronaldo. His decision making on the pitch is all about the "what's best for the team" rather than individual glory.

People want him to score 30/40 every season & he's never going to play that way. He'll rather dominate games while contributing with 15-20 decisive moments every season.

A modification of Chelsea's current system I can imagine to accomodate James or Isco is a 3-4-1-2. Like Gladbach's system under Schubert (white team), with either James or Isco occupying the spot marked #8. Especially James would be good, because he likes to push into the opponent's box.

Imo many people just miss a significant part of what he's so good at. So he already is a lot better than said people think.

He has openly stated that he is not as ambitious as some of the other top players. I find it to be a big issue with him.

I have thought about this formation. And indeed both Isco and James would work very well. However it requires 2 CFs who are good on the ball and we have none. Costa is somewhat okay doing this role but not good enough to do it at an elite level.
