Question

I saw someone write that Hazard is in the top 5 PL players ever.

I disagreed and even went as far to say he would barely scrape into the top 5 Chelsea players, behind Drogba, Terry, Čech, Zola, Lampard.

If you had to rank the top 5 Chelsea players in PL history, what would it be? Curious to see if Hazard is ahead of any of my 5, let alone even close to being in the discussion for top 5 PL players in general.

Top 5 prem players nope. Top 5 Prem chelsea players yep. Lamps, Terry, Hazard, Zola, Cech. Drogba was too inconsistent in the prem.

Also I thought I was ok and had accepted Hazard leaving. I was wrong

Is Hazard 5th on your list?

Ashley Cole doesn't knock on the door too?

Drogba still gives me nightmares so he will never leave my list personally.

Hazard is third for me in the prem. Drogba was class but didnt have many top prem seasons

[Premy]

Is Hazard really rated above Ballack, Desailly and Essien?

For his exploits in the Prem alone 100%, Were only talking prem here

Sarri gone now too

Jose back would just be too much hilarity - but I think everyone other than partially sane Chelsea supporters would love to see it

Ok for exploits in the Prem or with Chelsea in general.

Essien achieved far more than Hazard did.
Ballack aside from European honors achieved the same that Hazard did.

my lord ive just logged on to NF.net and look at all the silly words being said.

At Chelsea in general Id have Hazard above Ballack and Essien. Controversial yes but just my opinion

[plague]

why you gotta go and do this to poor Stanny on today of all days. let the man grieve will you.

Sorry just realised you had your 5 in order.

How is Čech not higher, I don't understand.

How about Claude Makélélé, allowed Lampard, Drogba, Robben, Duff et al to play

Its a hard question and I didnt put him there lightly but I couldn't have Zola at 5th and Hazard has dragged us almost single handily to two EPL titles

Only Lamps of those 5 players named had more impact in the prem at Chelsea. The rest only stayed for 2 or 3 seasons

Agreed, but that isn't what I said, without Makélélé none of Chelsea's creative players would have had the freedom to do what they did. Incidentally, I reckon your top 5 isn't far off the mark, I could make a case for Ashley Cole as well as Makélélé, I'd question your order though.

Fair point but Lamps played just as good under other holding midfielders after Maka left. My only sore is a top 5 and I cant put Dennis Wise in it

[Frodo]

Real fans were chanting "we want Mbappe!" during Hazards unveiling. The disrespect, haha.

[Bremsstrahlung]

Please, bloke doesn’t even make Stannys top 10.

Also why is this not in the Liverpool thread.
