Rashford must be close to beating that already.
This was his record vs top 6 in PL

Coutinho?Worst signing in the last 50 years for any club ever?
It's a bit irrelevant to judge him for that although he should hold back a bit.Tweet

Why does he look so fecking happy ? I mean, his old teammates and all but I swear it looks as if he has qualified to the final with them.
Limps out of the CL semis while doing feck all and getting hooked and he's pissing himself laughing after the final whistle. He deserves all the stick he gets for that.
Hazard was a good player, and clearly his entire career cannot be judged in the player he is now - which will inevitably result in some underrating of his time on England.Not really surprised knowing Hazard. Had all the talent in the world to kick on and become an all time great but lacked the mental cutting edge. Still one of the best to ever play in the PL, mind, but he could have gone down as an all-timer.
Don't think anyone mentioned him seriously in the same breath as Messi and Ronaldo, unless it was to say that he needs to improve to get to that level. I would argue that on the basis of pure talent alone, he wasn't far off them two but what he lacked was the drive and indomitable will to be the best and that has accelerated his decline.

Your definition of “one of the best to ever play on the PL” must be very loose. I don’t have time to think about it in detail (so don’t ask), but he’s lucky to be in the top 60 at a guess (and without detailed thought). He’s nowhere near the top.

I remember hearing someone who worked with Hazard at Chelsea (I can't remember who) saying the thing about him is that where other players have a ruthless drive to be the best when it comes to football, he's easy-going, content with his life as is and happy to forget about football once he goes home at the end of the day.Tweet

Top 60 seems harsh. Would agree that I was using "best to ever play in the PL" quite loosely though in retrospect!
Probably would have him top 5 at his position and maybe top 35-45 in the PL? Feel like he is in with a shout for one of the wing positions in the 3rd or 4th best PL XI ever?
17 goals or goals/ assits? How many games for each?At 17 currently
Lucky to be in the top 60 of PL players? Now I'm really curious what your top 60 is.Hazard was a good player, and clearly his entire career cannot be judged in the player he is now - which will inevitably result in some underrating of his time on England.

He’s coming from a much lower height than the latter though, imo.Worse and faster decline than Rooney.
In the category left lateral midfielder/left winger/ in the Premier League: in terms of longevity you are probably right.Probably would have him top 5 at his position and maybe top 35-45 in the PL? Feel like he is in with a shout for one of the wing positions in the 3rd or 4th best PL XI ever?
TorresWorst signing in the last 50 years for any club ever?
From November 202017 goals or goals/ assits? How many games for each?
Ridiculous at his age.From November 2020
Kepa is probably worse, at least Hazard is still starting and will kind of contribute to them winning the league if they doTorres
Shevchenko
Carroll
Sanchez
Kepa
Woodgate
Coutinho (esp when you add in him scoring twice for Bayern vs Barca).
whether he’s the worst I don’t know, but he has some good competition!
in fairness I did say I didn’t have time to go into it! But if I just look at United players, we have the following I’d put in or about a top 60.Lucky to be in the top 60 of PL players? Now I'm really curious what your top 60 is.
Given how high the expectation from Madrid was on him, yes.He might actually be a worse signing than Sanchez..
There was a time when Madrid would sign the top talents in the world, like one of Salah/Mane, Mbappe, hell even NeymarChelsea really saw Madrid coming.
100 million and on his last year.
No absolutely makes sense mate, wasn't trying to have a go or anything and I think you were right to call me out on being a bit OTT!fair comeback mind!
I’m not one to say he’s overrated like many are - and of course doing so after 2 years of being poor.
happy to acquiesce to top 30-40 players on the PL.
Yeah think Hazard is probably 3rd behind Giggs and CR7, considering peak and longevity.In the category left lateral midfielder/left winger/ in the Premier League: in terms of longevity you are probably right.
Left wingers/forwards - Giggs, Cristiano, Barnes, Ginola, Pires, Barnes (peak before PL), Ljungberg, etc.
he scored a header against spurs, that was about it. I can’t speak for Real, but the expectation of Sanchez was absolutely massive. Did Hazard play a piano?Given how high the expectation from Madrid was on him, yes.
But, at least, Hazard had four or five good games.
I can't remember a single good game Sanchez had for United.
I think Hazard will end up in France, Italy or back to Belgium. Can't see a PL team moving for him this summer or Madrid wanting to maintain him.he scored a header against spurs, that was about it.

presumably he’s got at least 2 years left on his contract? Massive problem buying these older players, or putting ageing players on massive/ long contracts.I think Hazard will end up in France, Italy or back to Belgium.

Outstanding, he really is taken for granted by some of our fans.From November 2020

He would have been a totally class signing for us.
This was his record vs top 6 in PL
