Did you realise that Chelsea signed Eden Hazard six years ago today?
That’s right, on this day in 2012, Chelsea pulled off something of a remarkable coup when they lured the Belgian to Stamford Bridge.

Since signing for Chelsea, Hazard has proven what a class act he is.
His skills have illuminated the Premier League and some of his goals, particularly the one last season against Arsenal, have been unbelievable.
His presence at Chelsea continues to be appreciated by the faithful with the social networks alive with compliments, we’ve selected just two:
What we did to deserve him I’ll never know, still to this day can’t get over him picking us… We’ve been so lucky to have him here!

Special player. Thankful for him being a Chelsea player. He has carried us

But with doubts about his future at Stamford Bridge, some tweets suggest that the next inhabitant of the managerial hot-seat, at Chelsea, could have a huge effect on whether he stays or leaves, a typical train of thought being:
6 years later we are struggling to keep him because this squad is not improving

Is that strictly true?
Or have those signed, in the last twelve months, just not found their feet yet?
Continuing,
Foundation was set now build on it. If blanc comes in Hazard will be at his best. Same if Sarri comes but if Conte stays he will be off

A statement some might believe rings true, others perhaps not.
But, if we have seen the last of Eden Hazard in a Chelsea shirt, what would be your favourite memory of a marvellous player?
