Back in the days when Arjen Robben was raiding down the wings, with a speed many of us hadn`t seen before, rumblings about a move to Real Madrid surfaced.
I can recall, after attending a social do, at Stamford Bridge, an associate leaning out of a bus window asking Arjen, who just happened to be passing by our bus in his car, whether he would be leaving Stamford Bridge for the Bernabeu.
Arjen shook his head and gestured that he was going nowhere. Sadly, weeks later, he`d left Chelsea and gone, yes you`ve guessed it, to the Bernabeu!
This week, those mutterings relating to a move to the Bernabeu for Eden Hazard, appear to be gaining momentum, a situation that is leaving several of us felling uneasy!
Now it doesn`t take a genius to acknowledge that all is not right with Eden Hazard, something has definitely happened to make the brightest spark in our team lose his form so dramatically.
Has there been a falling out with Jose?
Has the arrival of a new baby in the Hazard household seen his sleep patterns interrupted?
Or is the realisation sinking in that perhaps his manager would prefer a player who spends most of his time defending his flank rather than terrorising the opposition defence?
Whatever the case, it appears that the 24-year-old feels he may be being pushed towards the exit and today the inference is given by Sun that Eden may not have helped himself.
Our source suggests that Hazard may have dropped himself in deeper water by appearing to ‘like` a post on the social network site, Instagram, suggesting he would lap up a move to Real Madrid.
Like I said earlier, worrying times ahead, times that bring back the curious case of Arjen Robben to me!
