How many trophies has griezmann won in his career?
A Spanish div 2 and a super cup.
Mtcheuw
Awards that Griezmann has won or been nominated for I don't think Hazard will ever reach there.

Has Hazard played any final in his career.

In UCL he has been missing for as long as I can remember. Doing well in the league is great, but I think that in order to be put in par with the best playerd in the world you need to perform in at least one of UCL/NT. Griezmann has lead his team to the final of UCL and the Euros. Neymar scored in UCL final and has been great for Brazil. . Bale has won 2 UCL and lead an underdog to Euros semi. Hazard has performed great in the league bar in one season which is the worst I have seen from a supposedly world class player. . He is extremely talented but until he's done it on the big stage, just nope.

you are free to love griezman at man united,I have nothing against the lad,but trying to downgrade hazard's career for a man who chokes like that is stupid.
You misunderstand Me. Hazard is a world class player no doubt. But until he starts delivering for both clubs and country. Dominating international tournaments like Griezmann. Griezmann has the edge over him.

why would a club put a bid for hazard if he is our best player?,when have we ever sold pur best players, you mentioned PSG(we are bigger club tharn these clowns),why has nobody put a bid for messi and kane?
Barca is a bigger club than psg yet they bought Neymar from barca. We all know when the bigger clubs want any player they usually get them. Big clubs dont rate Hazard that much to pursue him.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by Melvyn11: 2:00pm On Sep 28, 2017
Griezmann won La Liga player of the year, and he is the only player in history of the award (well, since 2008/09) to break Ronaldo/Messi duopoly. Griezmann came 3rd in Ballon D'Or vote, after having amazing CL campaign, leading his team to the final (and a win, if not for an offside goal). Griezmann was voted best player of Euro 2016, leading his country to another final and grabbing a golden boot on the way - at the same tournament Hazard scored only 1 goal in the trashing of Hungary and was eliminated by the mighty Wales. I would love Griezmann at Man United.

That's not what i mean. It's not about being a selling club OR not. No big club has actually Fought to Prize Hazard from Chelsea. Let's have a matured conversation.

How's Griezman better than Hazard
Griezmann has performed and has shone on the world stage what a terrific player he is. At the moment, Griezmann is France's best player while I wouldn't consider that Hazard is even Belgium's best player. I rate Debruyne a tad bit higher.

Linkfield:
WTF!! Can Greizmann ever get compared to Neymar?
Only Neymar is better than Hazard after Messi and CR.

Greizmann is a fraud. Wait till he gets to Manyoo and see how they will expose him.

How is Greiz better than Hazard?
Technique?
Vision?
Strength?
Dribbling?
Chances created?

The only place Hazard comes short is num of goals scored, and I know is on course to rectify this season
Griezmann
is just better due to the fact that he's been
far better than Hazard for his Nation and in
the CL. His goalscoring output has only
really been matched by Neymar, Messi,
Ronaldo and Suarez over the past few years
as well.
Griezmann is one of the best players in the
world, Hazard isn't even the best player in
the world in his position, that's simply the
difference.

Madrid did not bid for Hazard

Barca did not bid for Him

Bayern did not bid for him

Psg did not bid for him



Has any team actually wanted Hazard at all.

remember that sometimes heavy defeats can lead to positives. Maybe this game could spur you guys on to good form (Chelsea after losing 3-0 to Arsenal last year) and the players learn from this.

Lukaku best 9 At the moment. 9 goals in 9games.... wow.

The guy has been an absolute beast since joining us. His hold up and link up play in the first half was fantastic to watch. Second half he's wasnt at his best, but still had a couple of chances. If Mikhi and Martial stayed till the end, he might have had his hattrick. Amazing start to his career at United, hope it continues.
What I like about him is his confidence. He might have missed a sitter and might be having a bad game, but he keeps trying harder and demands to get the ball. Doesn't go into hiding. Him and Matic have been pretty much perfect signings for us.

Back to Mbappe - for me definitely the best youngster in the world. Has it all put simply, mature, exceptional footballing IQ, flair, finishing ability and great athleticism.

That was Real Madrid level dominance from Chelsea on Atletico.
Could have easily been 5 goals for Chelsea with some better luck. Hazard from the highlights was a monster

Nobody says ronaldo is not a great player, who would? But saying he is better than leo messi is what I regard as blasphemy of the highest order. messi is 3 rolled in 1. messi is arguably the best striker, arguably the best midfielder and arguably the best winger in the world.
The only difference between Messi and
Ronaldo is that Messi can carry a team to
beat a small team, Ronaldo destroys a big
team alone.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Melvyn11: 9:41am On Sep 27, 2017
Matic averaged 4.6 tackles per game, Bakayoko averages 3 tackles per game.
Herrera averages more defensive actions and passes per 90 mins than Kante and Bakayoko.

He needs to start regularly.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Melvyn11: 9:39am On Sep 27, 2017
Surprised Mourinho never played a 4-3-3 with his Oscar, Matic, Cesc trio as he does now with United.


---Matic---
---Cesc---Oscar


Seems like this would have been more solid than persisting with a pivot.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Ronaldo’s Slow Start Sparks Ballon D’or Race by Melvyn11(op): 5:31pm On Sep 25, 2017
Two games without a goal is run of the mill for most footballers, but for Cristiano Ronaldo it constitutes a drought.

Ronaldo will be looking to forget his early season struggles as Real Madrid aim to lay down a marker in their quest for a third consecutive Champions League at Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday.

The Portuguese remains the strong favourite to match Lionel Messi’s record of five Ballon d’Or wins for his starring role in guiding Madrid to a first La Liga and Champions League double in 59 years.

However, Messi’s sensational form for Barcelona and the attention garnered by Neymar’s 222 million euro ($265 million) world record move to Paris Saint-Germain last month has starved Ronaldo of the attention he craves.

All three were named as the finalists for FIFA’s Men’s Player Award for 2017 last week.

It is Ronaldo, though, who has so far failed to hit his stratospherically high standards this season as Real have fallen seven points behind Barca in the La Liga title race.

A five-game suspension for pushing a referee after being sent-off in the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup has been the principle cause.

Ronaldo described the ban as “persecution” on the part of the Spanish federation.

But the punishment didn’t end with the ban as a rusty Ronaldo misfired badly as Real’s run of scoring in 73 straight games was ended in a shock 1-0 defeat to Real Betis last midweek.

Ronaldo also fired a blank as Madrid edged past bottom of the table Alaves on Saturday despite having 18 shots across his last two games.

“Cristiano is like he always is. When he doesn’t score you ask me about him, but he is calm,” insisted Real boss Zinedine Zidane.

“He wanted to score which is normal, but it’s a long season and he always ends up making the difference.”

– Messi irreplaceable –

It would take something extraordinary to deny Ronaldo the Ballon d’Or after scoring 10 times from the Champions League quarter-finals on against a calibre of opposition such as Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid and Juventus.

Yet, Messi’s reaction to Neymar’s decision to forge pastures new at PSG has been a telling demonstration of who is really the irreplaceable figure at the Camp Nou.

Messi has helped guide Barca to six wins from six in La Liga and a 3-0 thumping of Juventus in the Champions League scoring 12 goals in nine appearances in all competitions.

Indeed, at club level Messi now has 43 goals in 2017 to Ronaldo’s 29.

Neymar’s numbers are far more modest despite five goals in six games for PSG as he has adapted well to his new surroundings and new stature as the world’s most expensive player.

One of the Brazilian’s motives for leaving the lure of Messi and Barcelona behind was reportedly his desire to win the Ballon d’Or.

But at 25 his time is more likely to come in future years if Messi (30) and Ronaldo (32) begin to wane.

Neymar will need to live up to the hype of his record price tag not just in Ligue 1 but at Champions League level to be crowned the world’s best and the visit of Bayern Munich to the Parc des Princes on Wednesday is his greatest opportunity to make an impact before January’s award ceremonies.

Yet, despite the individual nature of the award, it is trophies that tend to tilt the balance of the Ballon d’Or and, having beaten his competitors to La Liga and the Champions League, Ronaldo remains the man to beat.

What is the best outcome for United from Chelsea and City this weekend? Draw or Chelsea win? If Chelsea win, they will be just 3 pts off United after having already played 3 of the top 6 from last season. Which would make their start excellent despite the loss from Burnley. A draw would be good for City though, will give them courage that they can do it this season.
