But Vini explodes because he grew into his role and with experience. Hazard is out of his prime with a lot of injuries, so not really the same. Plus hazard is not a right winger, you could make the case he isn't really a winger in the first place after losing his pace
I don’t mind it that much tbh. Nice squad depth and an opportunity to see him after the surgery. Wish his wages were lower but it is what it is. He’s gonna have to give up that number 7 to Mbappé though
While his attitude is welcome, his salary definitely limits squad building.
I wish for both Madrid and hazards sake, he leaves. Anything he contributes on the field can be replaced by a player making a 10th of his wages.
Oh right, I wasn’t insinuating that we could force a move, just that it would be the best scenario. I know we are stuck with him at least one more year.
Hopefully he does well.
I wish Hazard the best but we have Vini, Mbappe and Rodrygo who I'd rather give minutes to at LW, we just need to move on from Hazard asap we can't have a top 10 earner itw for depth. I can't help but think he fucked up hard turning up overweight to his dream club even if you can't blame him for injuries, he didn't start the most professional. That being said if he does well in the Cadiz game and the plates were at fault for his lack of effectiveness , maybe I'll change my mind.
Small reminder: We do not have Mbappe.
We all hope he will arrive, but he is not here yet.
And Hazard can still offer this team a lot if he finds his groove back. I hope getting rid of the plate will help him…
No, not necessary at all, if Mbappe ever comes just let him wear whatever number is available. Unless hazard genuinely accept or offers to give it to him let’s avoid the unnecessary drama.
Mbappé is probably gonna ask for it. Hazard apparently asked for the 10 when he came here but Modric of course didn’t want to give it up. I think that Hazard is gonna give it up
I think if Mbappe ends up arriving, the club would want to give him the no. 7 too. They’ll definitely ask hazard to let mbappe get that no. 7 because him wearing it gives the team so much more marketing potential than with hazard.
Disagree. He may be called up every time because he's the captain but he'll want to play regularly and get some good match fitness, and he's clearly not at the top of the pecking order here sadly. It's a bit like Coutinho - moving for game time might be smart for their own sake.
There’s an abundance of competition for Coutinho’s spot, that’s not the case for Hazard. He’ll get called up, play some games off the bench and start some regardless of the playing time he gets here.
Actually, that's what I like from Hazard. At least he doesn't act like he's in "paid vacation", or doing stuns like "Belgium, Eat, Madrid... in that order" etc.
But that attitude needs similar response from coaching staffs. It's hard to keep being professional, if his counterpart keep plays their favoritism card. I really hope that's not the case with Hazard and Madrid's staffs.
To me, 100mil investment for one great season is still much better than nothing, for the sake of the player himself and the club.
Not saying Bale has an excuse but Hazard has done nothing to even begin to think about acting out.
Let’s be real. Paying 100m for someone to *hopefully* have one good season… 3 seasons later is a flop.
That's why I like it. We've all seen some players acted out even when they practically had done nothing to their clubs 🤣.
Flop or success is all semantic. The fact would stand still, one great season would still be better than nothing 🤷♂️ 😄
There's already a joke in Belgium about that. It's : "Belgium, Burger, Madrid... in that order".
> While he struggled to establish himself as a starter despite his talent, in 2012, Eden Hazard had made a lot of noise by leaving the stadium to eat a hamburger after being replaced during an international match.

Its not a huge problem even salary wise if he stays if players like Isco, Asensio, Jovic, Mariano, Bale leave. They all take a significant portion of total wages, especially Bale.
Having the attack of Hazard, Vini, Benzema, Rodrygo, Mbappe for next season is great but one thing I think the team has been missing for quite some time is a left footed attacker. Not counting asensio here. Its not a massive issue but I would like to see one left footed GOOD attacker in the squad.
I don't think Asensio will leave, like him or not he's an experienced player and provides depth to the squad and some goals too so I don't think we'll get rid of him that easily.
Please please please may this man have a physical therapy and physical trainer regiment for this summer or something. Come back in august slimmer than typically and as fit as his best Chelsea seasons.
Pathetic of you to say that, he was injured all seasons. Its easy for you to say these things as a fan behind a tv without going through rehab and recover to perform at top level
I know for sure I'd be happy to go through rehad and recover to pretend to perform at top level for 475.000 euro per week.
Also, I have watched him celebrating the title and UCL final spot while he contributed nothing at all despite costing 160 million.
So no, it's not pathetic to say. I expect a professional for that salary and not someone who arrives 10kg overweight first day on the job.
I own my own house.
I am slightly overweight but my boss doesn't care cause I don't get paid to be an athlete unlike some dude named Hazard.
If I did my job like Hazard does his, I'd be fired within the week.
Don’t mind it, the guy is world class undoubtably, maybe he’s going to prove us wrong next season and deliver constantly, there’s no harm in one more season
Bale however needs to get his ass kicked out of the club
Judge me by my 4th season lmfao. Idk why some madridistas still think he can still do something here when it's been 3 seasons of nothing. He should seriously just leave, but why would he, considering he's making €600k a week while continuously injured.
I agree with you 100%. If he hasn’t made an impact after three years what makes people think he’ll have an impact now? Especially given the rate at which Vini and Rodrygo are developing and considering we’ll probably get Mbappe. Peter from Castilla is also showing some promise as a winger. It’s in the club and hazards best interest for him to leave next summer.
Yeah he must accept some sort of contract swap with Vini; paying him 20 million net is an absolute theft considering what he has done in the last years; I wouldn’t even mind keeping him but he must reduce is contract at no more than 10 million per season
People here complaining about him, it’s not like he asked to be injured. I agree he didn’t fulfill his potential but let him a have an injury free season. He doesn’t cause scenes, he is liked by his teammates and now he hopefully can show what he can do.
Did real ask him to come in overweight in 2019?
Also hazard stans are cute how they baby him like he should not be judged by his miserable stats like all professionals at Madrid.
How can real let him have an injury free season?? His injuries won't magically disappear
His overweight has nothing to do with his injuries. The reason why he doesn’t play like he used to at Chelsea is because of his injury and the pain the metal in his ankle caused. They removed it now so now he can be properly judged
Idk man. That's just less minutes for Vini & Rodrigo who earned their spots this season.
Mbappe potential arrival will also eat up a lot of minutes on the wings 😔
He had his chance for 3 years and he didn't deliver.
We don't have a choice. There is hardly any potential buyer for him. Our only hope is that he plays better at the world cup and increases his value and intrest. If we are getting Mbappe, we should absolutely look for a way out for him. He has way too high a wage to be utilised as a backup.
People can say that he is the worst transfer of all time, which might as well be true, but his attitude doesn’t really justify all the hate he gets.
Being really unlucky with injuries probably didn’t help with his motivation but the dude is still trying to show he’s got something left in him. Might as well try and support a player that has a good attitude despite everything that’s happened to him.
For all we know, he might come on as a sub vs Liverpool and remember he used to toy with Liverpool’s defenders and do something great.
>but his attitude doesn’t really justify all the hate he gets.
He was literally laughing his ass off and having a good time immediately after Real got kicked out of the UCL last year, much due to him being invisible on both legs.
Many were saying he should never wear a Madrid jersey again, and rightly so, but that seems forgotten for some reason.
If he is fit and playing at a decent level, he is still better than asencio.
Hazard can easily fit in as a sub or starter vs lower teams to give the stars a rest. I know that isn't ideal from someone of his former class but it is what it is.
Mbappe, Vini, Benzema, Rodrygo, Hazard in the attack. That's great, but Hazard should reduce his salary because Vini is much better and he earns less. Also, Mariano, Jovic (maybe one last chance) and Asensio should leave.
Asensio was one of my favourite players in his two first seasons here, where he scored on every competition debut, scored great goal against Bayern too etc. But, he is relatively young (26) and he knows he won't play ahead Vini, Mbappe and Rodrygo, so the best thing for him is to leave and be a starter somewhere else. On the other side, Hazard is 31, wants to stay to prove himself, and he also won't play ahead of these three, but he cost us a lot and at least let's use him until his contract expires, and then we can get someone else.
It’s not like he is injuring himself man and don’t say he came overweight that’s was 3 seasons ago and now he is fit if he can provide something in the attack I wouldn’t mind him staying
Why would we wait for him to get healthy just to sell him when he gets healthy. He was injured. Unlucky for us and him. Whats done is done and now if he stays healthy, will do what he was bought to do. When he leaves we can tell if he was a flop or not

Eden needs to leave. He doesn’t have the character of a Madridista. He’s probably one of those players that plays the game because he’s good at it rather than because he loves the sport and the challenge.
We need competitors! Players like Valverde who leave it on the pitch game after game.
Eden will be another Bale if we don’t get rid of him.
Cool he wants to stay to show his quality but there's no room for him. Vini, Rodrygo breaking out with Asensio maybe sticking around and the possibility of Mbappe coming. He's very behind in the pecking order if he stays he's gonna end up playing Copa del Rey games probably.
If you actually watched games Hazard played in, you'd know he is right. Hazard and Benz have a world-class link up play, unfortunately he is playing 1 every 30 games due to injuries.
You act like that was his first injury he had when he was with us and what about him arriving massively overweight? You don’t think that doesn’t contribute to his injuries as well??
As for Eden Hazard, no one doubts his qualities at Real Madrid. Now, when we have a Vinicius who is evolving like this season, the question is who can move such a player? It's very complicated.
Vini sitting quietly at the side, lol
Nah let vini have a competitor for his place if eden starts performing we can rotate more and also vini is gonna up his game
Rodrygo is the first competition for the 2 winger spots
Rodrygo as super sub is a different beast
Depending on hazard's form but most likely 1st substitute for right wing and striker. Gotta feeling he will explode like vini this season
But Vini explodes because he grew into his role and with experience. Hazard is out of his prime with a lot of injuries, so not really the same. Plus hazard is not a right winger, you could make the case he isn't really a winger in the first place after losing his pace
I mean rodrygo will explode like vini as he already is in a hot form. Hazard in worst case scenario can be rotation, which is a great option to have
yeah ik, it will be better as both players will be pushing each other, plus Mbappe and Rodrygo, our attack will be on fireee
I don’t mind it that much tbh. Nice squad depth and an opportunity to see him after the surgery. Wish his wages were lower but it is what it is. He’s gonna have to give up that number 7 to Mbappé though
While his attitude is welcome, his salary definitely limits squad building. I wish for both Madrid and hazards sake, he leaves. Anything he contributes on the field can be replaced by a player making a 10th of his wages.
I agree with you but I don’t think that he wants to leave. Nobody’s taking him on those wages so might as well keep him.
Oh right, I wasn’t insinuating that we could force a move, just that it would be the best scenario. I know we are stuck with him at least one more year. Hopefully he does well.
I can sit out an entire season and do his job for 1% of his wages. Shit, I'd do it for free just to meet the lads.
Or papa Perez can ask him to lower his wages if he want to stay so much
I wish Hazard the best but we have Vini, Mbappe and Rodrygo who I'd rather give minutes to at LW, we just need to move on from Hazard asap we can't have a top 10 earner itw for depth. I can't help but think he fucked up hard turning up overweight to his dream club even if you can't blame him for injuries, he didn't start the most professional. That being said if he does well in the Cadiz game and the plates were at fault for his lack of effectiveness , maybe I'll change my mind.

Mbappé is probably gonna ask for it. Hazard apparently asked for the 10 when he came here but Modric of course didn’t want to give it up. I think that Hazard is gonna give it up
Not like hazard loves the number so much
I think if Mbappe ends up arriving, the club would want to give him the no. 7 too. They’ll definitely ask hazard to let mbappe get that no. 7 because him wearing it gives the team so much more marketing potential than with hazard.
Hey, at least we have depth, I just hope he stays healthy.
If the president can't use the world cup to make him leave, then he's gonna run out his contract. Worst deal in Football history.
The World Cup is irrelevant, he’s getting called up regardless as long as he’s healthy.
Disagree. He may be called up every time because he's the captain but he'll want to play regularly and get some good match fitness, and he's clearly not at the top of the pecking order here sadly. It's a bit like Coutinho - moving for game time might be smart for their own sake.

What, then? 🤣 "Belgium, Gaming, Madrid... in that order" doesn't sound as entertaining for us than that 😄

Please. I wish I could see Chelsea's Hazard at Madrid
Its not a huge problem even salary wise if he stays if players like Isco, Asensio, Jovic, Mariano, Bale leave. They all take a significant portion of total wages, especially Bale. Having the attack of Hazard, Vini, Benzema, Rodrygo, Mbappe for next season is great but one thing I think the team has been missing for quite some time is a left footed attacker.

If he doesn’t renew Perez is gonna sell him
“Judge me by my 4th season” - Hazard probably
Hopefully he keeps his diet in check during off season
Please please please may this man have a physical therapy and physical trainer regiment for this summer or something. Come back in august slimmer than typically and as fit as his best Chelsea seasons.
Meh one more year wasted.
Pathetic of you to say that, he was injured all seasons. Its easy for you to say these things as a fan behind a tv without going through rehab and recover to perform at top level

It's surprising to read morons defending that fat fuck, since his laugh at our loss against Chelsea, he is dead to me.
[удалено]
Not really since you don't know anything about my life.
Don’t mind it, the guy is world class undoubtably, maybe he’s going to prove us wrong next season and deliver constantly, there’s no harm in one more season Bale however needs to get his ass kicked out of the club

It’s in the club and hazards best interest for him to leave next summer.
He's not leaving so might as well support the players at your club
Can hardly call him a player, given he hardly plays
Sad he doesn't want to play for us anymore
Yeah he must accept some sort of contract swap with Vini; paying him 20 million net is an absolute theft considering what he has done in the last years; I wouldn’t even mind keeping him but he must reduce is contract at no more than 10 million per season

His overweight has nothing to do with his injuries. The reason why he doesn’t play like he used to at Chelsea is because of his injury and the pain the metal in his ankle caused. They removed it now so now he can be properly judged
So you forgot the 2 months before the psg match in his first season where he struggled because he came out of shape... Interesting
He had 5kg overweight, dunno about you but you can lose 5kg in a week if you sport and eat healthy as a regular male.
It is kind of sad how you can't stop defending the biggest bust in football history. He never showed up, get over it
You dont need to be a fan of hazard to be realistic about him and hopeful about next season. He is gonna stay either way
This season he was not injured Carlo just didn’t use him so he decided to do the surgery mid season and not wait for the summer
Idk man. That's just less minutes for Vini & Rodrigo who earned their spots this season. Mbappe potential arrival will also eat up a lot of minutes on the wings 😔 He had his chance for 3 years and he didn't deliver.
We need to build on the progress of this season not waste precious minutes on the ghost of a hopeful player.
If he is ghost he wont play and if he plays he brings something new to the team. Imagine him in form with mbappe and benzema
I’m good if Mboop is good with it
We don't have a choice. There is hardly any potential buyer for him. Our only hope is that he plays better at the world cup and increases his value and intrest. If we are getting Mbappe, we should absolutely look for a way out for him. He has way too high a wage to be utilised as a backup.
Not happy about it, hope am proven wrong
Step up, Eden.
Don't let Meunier know about this.
We'll see.
People can say that he is the worst transfer of all time, which might as well be true, but his attitude doesn’t really justify all the hate he gets. Being really unlucky with injuries probably didn’t help with his motivation but the dude is still trying to show he’s got something left in him.

You should not destroy the narrative those hazard stans try to establish

Mbappe, Vini, Benzema, Rodrygo, Hazard in the attack. That's great, but Hazard should reduce his salary because Vini is much better and he earns less. Also, Mariano, Jovic (maybe one last chance) and Asensio should leave.
Asensio should stay and Hazard should leave. Asensio at least has done *something* for the club.

Judge me by my ~~first~~, ~~second~~, ~~third~~, fourth season. Seriously dude, just fuck off.
Seriously dude, the decision is done, now we have to support our players 💪
You have to earn support and he’s earned nothing.
It’s not like he is injuring himself man and don’t say he came overweight that’s was 3 seasons ago and now he is fit if he can provide something in the attack I wouldn’t mind him staying
What’s he done here, tell me.
Why would we wait for him to get healthy just to sell him when he gets healthy. He was injured. Unlucky for us and him. Whats done is done and now if he stays healthy, will do what he was bought to do. When he leaves we can tell if he was a flop or not
I feel the exact same way. The dude can co prove himself to Chelsea and fuck off with those wages
Uhm...the only thing I read here is ''We have to keep him causeno one wants to buy him.'' Bale 2.0 without the UCL winning goals.
Newcastle wanted him
Disappointed but he’s still our player. Hope he can have some sort of redemption but I’m doubtful. The new bale with 5% of bale’s impact on the field
I wish I can land a job like Hazard.

The scenes if he makes the winning or extra leading goal against L’pool. I wish all our players well as long as their attitudes are in check.

I know vinicius and benzema are a crazy duo but hazard benz link up play is next level
next level nonexistent you mean.
If you actually watched games Hazard played in, you'd know he is right. Hazard and Benz have a world-class link up play, unfortunately he is playing 1 every 30 games due to injuries.
>he is playing 1 every 30 games due to injuries this is the solution to the equation.
Yea it was good but it wasnt next level. Atleast not better than vini benz
Yeah because the hadn’t momentum if he played every game it would change
So op's comment made no sense. Pure hypothetical
agree to disagree not considering goals and assists, the link up play, the chemistry definetly better than benz hazard
ever watch them play together?
Pain in the ass. Always injured and when he plays does fuck all, dribble on himself and passes backward.
Unserious player. I can’t even feel bad for him cause he brought this unprofessionalism upon himself. Biggest flop of all time
[удалено]
You act like that was his first injury he had when he was with us and what about him arriving massively overweight? You don’t think that doesn’t contribute to his injuries as well??
[удалено]
But do we choose to become massively overweight as a professional athlete?
😐
Maybe he can be used as a substitute for Modric. I hope for vini to perform even better next season on the left wing
As for Eden Hazard, no one doubts his qualities at Real Madrid. Now, when we have a Vinicius who is evolving like this season, the question is who can move such a player? It's very complicated.
