Have you seen Hazard play? While I'm not saying he is the next Messi, when I watch Hazard play the first player I'm reminded of is Messi.
And you're one of those people who thinks transfer fee's are the be all and end all to determining how good a player is. Just because we're getting him for less than what Gotze would cost, he must be inferior. By that logic, Torres is one of the greatest players of the modern era.
Trust me, over the next five years Hazard will have a greater career than your guy.
If we're in the top 4 on January 1st, I'm going to put a few dollars on us winning the league. That is how highly I rate Hazard.
