When Hazard signed there were many comparisons made by the media to Messi/Ronaldo with even players like Vermaelen and Joe Cole saying the same. When Hazard was at Lille this was probably quite fair as he was a winger who'd beat a man constantly and show off all the tricks in the book.
At Chelsea he seems to have adapted his game and plays very similarly to David Silva. Using yesterday as an example, the way he slipped that ball to the onrushing Ramires without even looking really showed this for me. In that same situation someone like Ronaldo would have chosen to shoot or beat another defender, but the Hazard at Chelsea is a lot more unselfish and his vision is remarkable (similar to Silva). In a way, rather than being that explosive dribbler we expected who'd give us width, he's become a pass and move player who occasionally dribbles.
Am I the only one that thinks/has noticed this?
Tbh i'm not sure which Hazard I prefer. The Hazard we are seeing at the moment or the Hazard we saw at Lille and at the very beginning of this season. Either way, he's on the road to becoming world class
Hazard: More David Silva than Ronaldo?

Hazard would probably be the most likely to leave out of the 3.
If I was to place a bet on who I think will get poached first, I'd say Oscar

Yeh Foam Hands. Hope youre right..
I just got a feeling about Hazard though.. Best way to keep players is to win trophies.

Yeah if we don't win trophies then Hazard will be off. He looks too ambitious and talented to stay through a long dry spell, and I won't blame him if he does.

Don Mata.. The options for Oscar apart from us are limited to be honest... Madrid and Barcelona I would say, maybe Bayern Munich?.. Just pray them two clubs buy other players and dont come for ours

He just reminds me of your typical Barca player and his best mate Neymar will be there

Oscar in his recent interview with the telegraph stated that he wanted to stay here for a long time and be a club legend.
