Hazard admits himself, he's not a goal scorer. He will never be a 30 goal season player. He has skill and enjoys playing the game, just like Zidaine, not all about goals.

Below average, average, good, very good, world class, and then there's a level beyond that, and that's where Messi and Ronaldo are.

If he does wish to win the Balon Dor then it is only right he joins a team such as Real Madrid. I do respect him for being professional with giving 10/10 performances so much much respect to him.

[@Tom-wr6mq]

No player is too good for a club. It's statements like this that lead to player power. A club like Chelsea which is one of the 10 biggest in the world will ALWAYS be bigger than any player. If you look at how many times Ronaldo saved Madrid especially last season, it doesn't make him bigger than Madrid. In hazards case he just happens to be too good for Chelsea at their present level of performances. If you put him in the 2009 Chelsea team with ballack essien terry lampard Cole malouda Drogba etc he would not necessarily be the best player in Chelsea, so how can he be too good for the club? He simply has better options than Chelsea at the present moment. But please stop giving players the idea they are bigger and better than an ENTIRE CLUB as this causes player power

[@samuelstephen2762]

The inconsistency argument literally comes from pundits who have histories with Chelsea's rivals and people who can't form reasonable opinions of their own just regurgitate that nonsense. The last time I ever found Eden's work ethic lacking was the same season we finished 10th under Mourinho. Even in that season, he couldn't help but put up his best displays against rivals when it counted to screw them over. The inconsistency argument is BS. It applies to the Chelsea staff and board because they kept surrounding him with inferior/unproven players that they couldn't be patient with and shipped off eventually, somehow managing to keep deadwood instead, forcing Eden to play in systems that relied on him more than any single player should b burdened. Sarri's system is far from perfect, but we've seen this season that if the players around him do their best and dominate possession with quick passing, Eden is free to do what he does best without having to actually carry the bloody team forward by himself. Eden will be remembered as a Chelsea and PL legend not just because of what he can do and not just because he's a team player that wants his forward partners to succeed, but also because in a time of unpredictable Chelsea results on and off the pitch, he's been the one constant - always modest, always fighting, always giving his best, and more often than not, producing the mesmerizing when it counts.

I as a Chelsea fan can when he joined Chelsea it made me enjoy watching football more bcs of what he shows on the pitch and off it. Just bcs he doesent have the same mentality as Ronaldo doesent mean hes not a very talented player which scores goals when hes team needs him too. In terms of talent and football intelligence hes up there with the very best. How he wants to use his qualities is up to him. And people should respect that. Then its up to the managers if they want him to play or not. They wouldnt play him if he wasent bringing something to the team. And from experience he usually does when hes 100% fit and in the mood.

Hazard may not be an all out scorer, but he is a very balanced player that scores and assist as a no.10. Add goals n assists together, thats avg of supplying 30 goals on a season. Dribbler too. May lack the physical side to battle in the middle against Pogba/de Bruyne for ball possession. But Hazard probably scores and assists more... Plays higher up on pitch. No problem cutting in from flanks. Madrid currently do not have an outstanding playmaker that can simutaneously score, make others score and dribble past opponents with ease, all in one since CR7 left.

He's one tier down from Messi & Ronaldo, alongside Neymar & maybe a couple of others. If you mean he's as important for the side then I see where you are coming from but you can't underestimate the effect of a player who scores over one goal per game spanning 10 years - that consistency wins trophies, never mind the overrated bullshit about Iniesta, Busquets & Xavi, great players though they were, Barca have always had great technical players but they've never had a phenomenon like Messi. However, if you mean pure talent & overall package...then I'm afraid your footy knowledge is dire.

[@lancestevens1651]

Though a Liverpool fan... I find myself consistently agreeing with Gary more than Jamie. I've always thought about Eden Hazard what Gary is saying here. I constantly here pundits say he's the best player in the premier league, yet he's never had a 20 goal season. Don't get me wrong, he's a fantastic player. But Salah (last year) blew him away. Same with Firmino who had more goals and assist than Hazard. Kane has been scored 30+ goals three out of the four past years (one of those years he had 28). Aguero has scored 30 goals for years now. Mane has more this year with 20 goals. Eden Hazard is a great player. But for folks to keep putting him up there... saying that behind Messi and Ronaldo, he's the next best in the world... rubbish! I've always thought that was rubbish! Very good, but he has several players playing better than him at the moment. And consistency over the last few years proves the same.

I don't think the priority should be playing for real Madrid or barcelona necessarily . The priority should be winning CL and balloon dor. Chelsea right now are on the decline whereas hazard is getting better. Playing in real Madrid and la liga only improves your stats but does nothing for you unless you win CL. Hazard needs a team built around him whether it's at chelsea or real Madrid in order to achieve CL glory and ballon dor like Messi had at barca

If you're saying Hazard's too good for the current crop of players at Chelsea that's fine, but that would mean he's too good for Real Madrid as well. If you're saying he's too good for the entirety of the club then you are really mistaken. He is one of our greatest ever players but that doesn't make him bigger than the club. Drogba, Gullit, Zola, Lampard, Terry, none of them would ever be hailed bigger or too good for the the club so Hazard shouldn't either.
