Eden Hazard: Star Shouldn't Be Rushed to Decision

Eden Hazard is perhaps the most valued star this transfer season, but he's still a human being making a big decision and he should take his time. He's just 21 years old, and there is a ton of dough being waved in front of his face.

He could very well set the pace for the entire transfer season, so many fans may want him to make his decision promptly. But that is simply unfair.

Hazard has brought some of this attention upon himself, Julien Laurens of Le Parisien first tweeted this of Hazard's impending decision:

"

Eden Hazard will announce tonight after the game where he will play next season. End of the suspense soon for City, United and Chelsea

— Julien Laurens (@LaurensJulien) May 20, 2012

"

Then just hours before the announcement was supposed to be made, Laurens tweeted this after learning Hazard wasn't quite ready to decide:

"

Eden Hazard has told the Lille fans that he...didn't know yet where he will be playing next season !!!

— Julien Laurens (@LaurensJulien) May 20, 2012"

This is like LeBron James setting up The Decision, but failing to commit at the moment of truth. It's obvious this is on a much smaller scale, but the fans and clubs are obviously being left hanging. Hazard is being shown love from Chelsea, the newly crowned champion of the Champions League, and others.

If Chelsea loses UEFA hero Didier Drogba, Hazard would be a great addition to help ease the loss.

Hazard shouldn't have announced a time for his decision; he only applied more pressure to himself by making a spectacle of what is already a big deal.

He needs to allow himself time to consider all of the offers, and the other factors involved. Lille fans have their club at the forefront of their minds, but Hazard must think about what is in his best interest, and that takes time.
