Eden Hazard

[charliemouse]

Chelsea fans just have very short memories. I don't think many of them remember just how shit they were back in the 80's and early 90's.

Instead of getting their managers from Porto, Brazil or AC Milan, they used to have to go and poach them from Reading or Swindon.

I fear the usual let down hear when the lad gets offered the readies by chelscum or the Arabs

Here is the interview, talks about Bale, Modric and Kranjcar at 1min.

So, summary of the interview:

Hazard thinks he can learn most in England because there are big matches every weekend and in Spain, you can only compete for trophies with the top two clubs. It's much more difficult to play for Barca and Real at his age than it would be for a top English club.

He came across Bale, Modric and Kranjcar in Belgium's qualification campaign for the World Cup. (That is the bit where he repeats Kranny's name).

Direct translation:

Interviewer - The reaction from the audience is that this makes good sense - is this just a rumour?

Eden - Yes it's a rumour. It's a club that interests me because, as you just said, they have great players, I think a great manager as well but as for me, I haven't signed anything yet even though I hope we can get something done soon. For the moment, my mind is completely focused on Lille.

No new news is .....no new news!

Great interview and it went down well! took all by surprise! we thought the agent was playing us but maybe not and H must have left an impression!

We said he would be involved at spurs and get a chance and he wants to develop.

fingers and toes crossed!

A signing like this would definately keep Harry here for sure

Who said he wants to go :wink:

 

[Hitch]

I just worry about the story leaking at this stage. It may galvanise other clubs to start chucking ridiculous sums at Lille in order to beat us to it.

Would it Ryan? Great if it did...

 

[Paolo10]

From the body language and the actual French it's all very positive while still seeming a bit coy.

You've got to buy a ticket if you want to win the raffle I suppose. We all love a jinky one, he's like a mini, less handsome Ginola. I'm even willing to overlook the fact he's Belgian.

Well I know that and you know that, but some people seem to think otherwise

I know what you mean but I never worry in situations like this - its not like he's a player under the radar.

Do you know where we are now then JJ? I thought everything had gone quiet at the end of the window? Has this come out of the blue, or are we back talking to his club again?

 

[ryantegan]

I think it is important to remember that Lille and Hazard contacted us.

We must look like a great place to play your football, no one can disagree with that

 

[Paolo10]

Set phasers to FAP.

 

[alextheyid]

Nice to see us getting recognition for our league table position from abroad!!

 

[Super Tottenham]

JJetset if this happens is it likely to be done soon like Hazard says he would like or are we talking waiting until the summer?

 

[Gbspurs]

I doubt Gervinho talks about how amazing life is at arsenal, or Lukaku about how great his first season at Chelsea has been. It's obvious to on lookers how good out team spirit is and how young players can flourish (Bale). I don't see he we wouldn't be to attract any player from a weaker league, regardless of potential talent. Seems like a spurs signing and I would love if we announce Hazard and Damiao by may and then just sit back and relax!!

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

This is all very encouraging.

All those that are saying we must get the done deal quickly to stop other clubs pinching him. I don't think it works that way. His agent would have been offering him around to all clubs so they can make the most money. If we make a agreement with the club ultimately the decision is down to the player. Whatever happens every club knows that Hazard is available so the speed that we work at makes no difference IMO.

Well I know that and you know that, but some people seem to think otherwise

It's not thinking other wise, it's just logical thinking really.

Lets be honest, not many ITK's are right with proper results, most of the stuff is just stuff going on in the background.

You say one thing now, yes it's right, but 4/5 months down the line, minds can change.

Both you and JJ know that too well, not really good communication to sit on the pedestal and come across like a know it all.

As for general ITK, yes I have some fantastic contacts at the club, and everything I'm hearing now is that Redknapp is likely to stay and is not interested int he england job.

But he HAS to say that.

It's pure logic.
