Has he decided where he is going?

Lille football star Eden Hazard will reportedly make his decision tonight on where in the EPL he will transfer to. Whoever misses out on the talented young player should consider themselves lucky.Let's take a look at why Hazard is such a hot commodity, and conversely, why he shouldn't be one. The Appeal of Eden Hazard
Listen, there is no denying this kid's talent, and at 21 years old, he only has room to continue to get better.
His skills are endless.
In 34 appearances with Lille, he scored 17 goals and distributed 16 assists. Additionally, he got off 2.8 shots per game, made 2.5 key passes per game and had a pass success percentage of 81.4.Insanely talented and creative with the ball at his feet, Hazard is tremendous at getting the ball down the sideline and whipping it in for his teammates, but he's also tremendous at putting the ball in the net.
Hazard made 23 appearances for Lille at left forward, but he can also move to the middle and play a center-attacking midfielder role because he can shoot from distance and finish with precision.
If you were ever going to call someone a poor-man's Cristiano Ronaldo, Eden Hazard would be the guy.
Why He Isn't Worth It
Simply put, the money is ridiculous.
According to dailymail.co.uk, Chelsea is offering Hazard £250,000 per week. While that's insanely high, it's certainly understandable considering how good Hazard is and how far he is from hitting his prime.
Nonetheless, I question taking that kind of a risk on Hazard. The main reason for this?
Hazard's attitude.He's talented, yes, but his poor attitude and propensity to sulk, argue and give up for balls scares me a little bit. Sure, you can probably find those attributes in a lot of footballers, but I wouldn't be willing to pay top dollar for someone like that.
To me they are just too unpredictable, especially once they get a huge deal.
It's possible that this is just me, but I don't like taking risks on flashy players. There's the chance they become one of the best in the world, yet the chance they flake out is too risky.
Additionally, Hazard is coming from Ligue 1, which is far from the EPL, although that doesn't scare me as much because he was tremendous in the Champions League as well.
Essentially, there's only a few players in the world I would give this kind of money to. Hazard isn't one of those players. Yet.
But he's in prime position to prove me wrong.
Impressive by Hazard, a whole year talking and whoring to the point he's hated even before he gets here and even if he ended up joining us. What's up with this deal? Don't Barca or Real want him?
SSN say he would prefer a move to UTD in the summer.
Let this guy go. . .although we did little mire than qualify for the CL this season, it was the first time in a long time that our play wasnt dictated by one player.
Yes, RvP's goals carried us through but we werent controlled by the self-promoted, hyper inflated ego on one individual. From where I was sitting, I saw more balance, comradeship, drive in the team than I have in a long time. I admit there where times that things unravelled but I definitely hope to see the guys raise tbat a notch higher next time and Wenger to bring in likewise players.
Hazard does not fit that bill, what we will get is a great player but one who will thinks is audacious salary demands some kind of special treatment and we run the risk of unbalancing things once again.
We will need to offer wages that will satisfy the right player and hopefully get them to believe we do have ambition,
RvP will demand more than we have ever paid but we should give it to him because he has done his time. . .Eden has yet to.
Even if we did want Hazard, which we don't, we'd never afford him anyway.
Move on.
