He's gonna be a hit ! He might have a difficult first year, but I'm sure in couple of years time he'll be between worlds best (top 20 or so).

Too much footballing quality.

Hazard and Hulk > Torres and Luis > Sheva and Ballack in the flop department

However Hazard and Hulk aren't even in the prime of their careers yet and already both are top, top class and unfortunately for me, I believe both will reinvigorate Chelsea a lot.

So much complaining. Let his football do the talking. Anyone who's been likened to or said to have the potential to challenge Messi as the best player gets slaughtered on here, without fail.

Yeah..that's why many are criticizing Neymar and Hazard, but not the winner of the Golden Boy.

even if they've not done anything wrong.

he has not come across well with all this furore about his transfer surprise destination.

very disrespectful to Lille and their fans.

Really wtf? I'm a Lille fan and he's absolutely adored by the fans over here. You couldn't be more wrong with that statement. Hazard could have left multiple times the past few seasons but showed incredible loyalty.
He signed a pro-contract at Lille aged 16 when all the topclubs, including Barcelona, were interested in him after his showing in the European -17 championship.
He signed an extension in march 2011 to maximize his transfer value for the club, with the club and Hazard at that time already stating it he would be leaving at the end of that season or the next.
He stayed last year, after having the opportunity to leave like Rami, Cabaye and Gervinho to play on more year at Lille.
Like I said, he's absolutely adored by Lille.. See the farewell party they gave him after his last game. And Hazard even has a pretty good reputation in the whole of France, not at all like the arrogant player he's painted as in the English media.

edit:
Even the above picture with the alledged quotes are pretty much pure fabrication. Easy to spot since Hazard has never made an interview with the English press and all their stuff are mostly fabrications. Easy to spot when, as a french speaker, you've seen the original interviews and material.
1. Spain does fit more my style of play, but to win stuff you'd have to play for Barcelona or Real and it's very hard for a young player to earn a starting place over there. That's why I think it's better for me to go to England because there are more teams you can win trophies with.
2. Never said anything about Vermaelen, prolly from the same bulshitters who said they were family, but he is fan of there style of play and Wenger.
3. Tottenham was asked about in the Belgian talkshow RTBF where the host asked him about the club after there were rumours circulating in French press in january. "Why couldn't I join Tottenham, they're a big club with great players"
4. The thing about Inter and AC making him offers isn't true, he was asked about the Italian league and responded that there are a few great clubs and did say that each league has it's merits. (In same interview talked about Spanish style, German stadiums, Turkish fans, etc)
5. Liverpool thing is pretty much correct, except he was asked: "Have you heard Liverpool is interested in you?"
6. Never said his dream was to play for Real or Arsenal, comes from an interview when he was 18. He said he'd watched those teams the most when he was little because he's a big fan of Zidane, like all french speaking kids, and the French Arsenal connection with Wenger Pires Henry and Vieira when he was young. During all the speculation he never said anything about a preferred club, he always kept all the options open.
7 and 8 are pretty much correct. He wasn't in talks with Chelsea until after they won the CL and at before that he was talking to both Manchester clubs.

Well honestly, the kid has much of bad rep thanks to the English mistranslating stuff and them speculating. Won't take too long to see for the English crowds that their initial perception of him created trough the media is completely wrong.

It's a shame they can simply fabricate things like that :/ I guess it scars his reputation and because of that he receives a lot of hate.

I don't like Chelsea but if he feels it's the best for him, then so be it.
