Hazard wasnt better in france than isco has been in Spain.


Yes he was. Isco has been "pretty impressive" in La Liga whereas Hazard was thr best player in French league.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

HAHA

How exactly was he overrated? And conversely, who was underrated?

Hazard is gonna be a Superstar, Isco is a talent more a Silva Mk 2.

Precisely.
I'd love us to add Isco as I think he would be fantastic option to help take some pressure off Silva and I think he will become pretty good option in the future. But to sugarcoat it how much of a miss it was not to get Hazard is just ridiculous.

I'm with you mate. He's another decent player but his build-up was such that when he took to the field against us in the CL I expected him to knock in at least 5, instead of disappearing anonymously.

He's a very good player and the PL is full of them.

Watching some of his skills, he's like Kinky on steroids, with Silva, Nasri, Yaya etc, this guy will be amazing! :D
Great signing if he does come!

That's true. However we need to streghten both quality and depth in that area.


However, Isco has potential to be as good as Hazard!

No one is sugar coating missing Hazard. Posters like Ted and others openly pined for him vocally.

We are talking about your assessment of two players compared to each other ans I disagreed.

Thats all. Finnish spastic.

As mentioned, Isco looks like Kinky on speed, and a pudding of LSD.

Some of the stuff he can do is 50 years beyond what and English footballer will be able to do, infact probably ever be able to do.

He is fucking mint.

I believe would Isco fit in nicely. Good speed, works back (like toure) and seems like a growing star!

he is definitely not worth the 30mil+ chelski paid or the ridiculous wage bill he demanded.

they play him centrally mostly with mata, mata far outshines hazard sign.

he has had a few decent games but hasn't lit chelsea on fire, chelsea would be in the same position as they are now with him.

Mata is a player. Every time I have seen him play, he looks a different class compared to the rest of the Chelsea team.
Hazard is easily outshone by him. Although I do think there is more to come from Hazard. He will want to prove a point this season so I expect his name to be said a few more times than what has already been said.
Isco is also a good player. Seen him a few times and he is technically very good. He won't be an instant star in the PL though IMO. He will need time to adjust to the pace and physicality of our game.
I still think we should get him if he wants to come. He can play centrally or on the wing and he can provide competition for Nasri.

I agree that mata is top player and hazard will have to work hard to match him. Although he hasnt had the best season he may come out strong next

I spoke to a mate at work about this, we came up with a devastating midfield consisting of Yaya, Silva, Milner, Mata and Hazard. The only problem we encountered is we'd have Milner doing every inch of defensive work.
