Transfer

All I can find on his trasfer to Fenerbache are Turkish sources that once translated are nearly impossible to read. Does anybody have any other sources that confirm the move?--Giants27(Contribs|WP:CFL) 14:03, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

It is useless. I think its false advertising. All these un-official Fenerbache blogs are running around linking all the top players to the club even though they don't have the slightest of chances of signing them. Apparently, Hazard's "manager" went on Turkish radio and said he will be playing in the Turkish league. — Joao10Siamun (talk) 16:37, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

Chelsea player (according to his twitter). Officially signs on the 1st of July. City still sniffing, however. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Williams005 (talk • contribs) 12:27, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

The picture

Picture is a bit unsuitable I think.

Thoughts on the matter? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Liam892010 (talk • contribs) 20:53, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Reverted vandalism. Picture is probably not free. — Joao10Siamun (talk) 21:43, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Stop vandalising Hazard's page

Whoever keeps removing the vital information of Hazard's possible transfer to the Arsenal, stop doing it. Leave it alone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.13.216.132 (talk) 21:37, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Lead

• "In 2005, he ventured to France." That implies it was a risk; consider "he moved to France"?

Done. JS^{Rant Away} 03:39, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

Personal life

• "He grew up in a football dominant family." 'Football dominant' isn't a term as far as I'm aware, though I understand what you mean.
• "Carine, and father,"... Remove apostrophe after Carine.
• 'most hated rivals'...how about "biggest rivals". 'Hate' is a strong word after all.
• "On 19 December, Belgian and French media announced that she had given birth to a baby boy", 19 December 2054? 2011?

Lille

• Need en dash on three-year.
• "After-wards, he was relegated back to the amateur level...", Afterwards doesn't need a dash. I would suggest you use another synonym: 'Following the match', 'After the match', 'Subsequently' because 'afterwards' in this case can be misconstrued. Also replace 'relegated' with 'demoted'.
• "...one goal helping the reserve team finished in fifth place..."; past principle not needed - ...Should be "finish in fifth place".
• "Hazard finished his amateur career with 11 appearances and one goal helping the reserve..." - put an apostrophe after goal.

2008–09 season

• "For the 2008–09 season, Hazard switched to the number 26 shirt"; What was his shirt number before? I would advise you to replace 'switched' with 'given the shirt number 26' as amateur footballers may not have fixed numbers.
• "His positive performances" → "assured performances"
• "game-winning goal"... - how about 'match-winning'?
• "Hazard started eight and contributed to the team finishing in 5th place"...I have no problem with the sentence, just maybe spell out 5th as 'fifth' for consistency perhaps.

2009–10 season

• "Notable clubs included English clubs..." How about starting off the sentence with "These included English clubs Arsenal..."
• "A month later, Hazard was instrumental in Lille's 5–1 thrashing of Czech club Slavia Prague as he was partly responsible for the opening goal after slicing through" - replace 'after' with an em dash.
• "Hazard began the 2009–10 season on a quick note scoring in the Lille's first competitive match of the season"... two things: 1) Replace 'quick' with 'positive' and 2) remove 'the' from Lille; the club's name isn't a definitive article.
• Derby du Nord has already been wiki linked under 'Personal life'.
• "The victory helped the club achieve stability in the league by keeping them in the UEFA Champions League places and, also, ended a disaster of a week which saw Lille suffer elimination from both of France's cup competitions." Doesn't make any grammatical sense. I would suggest breaking the sentence into two if you can.
• "He is the first player, since the award's inception" → "He became the first player since its inception in 1994 to win the award twice."

2010–11 season

• "Following the international break, Hazard re-captured his scoring form"... Recaptured doesn't need a dash.
• "Hazard began the 2011 portion of the season"... Ambiguous. What defines a portion in a league season? More so, a year? Consider "At the turn of the calander year, Hazard began...".
• "...Lille eight points clear as league leader in the table" → "...Lille eight points clear at the top of the league table."

Done with issues related to 2010–11 season section. JS^{Rant Away} 03:39, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

2011–12 season

• "Three days later" → How about "Three days after"
• "Fours days later" → "Four days later"
• "In his second career Champions League appearance"...I'm not sure if it's necessary to mention that. Maybe "Against Turkish outfit Trabzonspor on [insert month and date], Hazard assisted Lille's only goal..."
• "game-winning goal" → how about 'match-winning'?
• "Due to his increase participation with Lille's first team"...'Due to' is used in the previous sentence. Rephrase.
• Could include desire to join Chelsea — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.147.118.85 (talk) 22:24, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

Senior

• "Although, Hazard is still eligible to represent Belgium on youth level"...remove comma.

Done — JS^{Rant Away} 02:00, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Youth

• "Hazard bypassed the Belgian under-18 team and began earning call-ups to the under-19 team in October 2007." Need reference on that.

Couldn't find a source stating he bypassed the under-18 team, so I rephrased the sentence. — JS^{Rant Away} 18:42, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

That'll do for now. — Lemonade51 (talk) 19:14, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Comments

• If you were considering this for WP:FAC, then I suggest you may need to get this peer reviewed because prose might be the big problem. Having said that and giving it a read through today, I think it's perfectly acceptable for GA status. Broad in its coverage, netural with good sources and nice array of images. Plus there is always room for improvement. Good job. — Lemonade51 (talk) 19:14, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Hazard to sign for Chelsea AshikSaha (talk) 08:02, 29 May 2012 (UTC).

Chelsea

Eden Hazard himself has announced that he signed on for Chelsea, so it isn't simply a rumour. It thus needs to be mentioned. The edit I did also clearly states that it was Hazard who announced it, I'll add to it that Chelsea has neither confirmed nor denied it yet, but at this stage it would be very surprising if the deal didn't go through or either Hazard or Chelsea reneges... -- fdewaele, 29 May 2012.

Even if it does not come to completion, it is still worthy of inclusion that player himself legitimately announced his intention to sign for Chelsea. Whether he signs for them, the deal falls through, or he changes his mind, this is noteworthy enough to document. If he signs, it's interesting that even at such a young age, he personally announced it before either club could confirm, and it's a curious spectacle that he chose to announce it via twitter, which is growing in prominence. If he doesn't sign, it's a spectacle because he puts himself in a potentially tenuous relationship with the Lille squad/fans he might remain with, or be accused of using a possible Chelsea transfer to encourage other suitors to up their offers.

I'm all for Wikipedia not being a rumor mill. This might not be an official signing, but it is not a transfer column rumor - the player has literally announced he will sign with Chelsea. Slow Graffiti (talk) 00:01, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

No, he said he was signing for the "champions league winner". That might mean Chelsea or it might not, but he didn't specifically say Chelsea. We shouldn't assume even if others are. — JS^{Rant Away} 00:17, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
