I told you were not going to consider a non Italian, non dribbler, a higher priority than a mediocre Italian, like Boriello, who has nothing but a few NT caps.
I told you we put our nationalism over our needs, we will postpone the investment on a permanent non Italian solution, as long as we can.
Any objective fan sees that we need to do smth for our defense, in the past 6 years though, we are trying to find new talents from Italy, instead of getting a certain fix.
And we invest everything on new CMs and SSs each and every transfer window...

This is exactly why I asked the question. I knew someone would come up with the idea to "replace" Pepe with him 
Which I think is the worst possible idea. I can't shake the feeling that we'd drop a lot more points if that's the case. And obviously not (just) because we'd be without Pepe.
I hope Hazard ends up in Italy though. Should be the league (& country) that suits him the most. But personally I wouldn't pay anything over 15 million for the guy. There's just too big a chance that he'll completely fail outside of France.
The difference between his games in the Ligue 1 & his European/Intl games is definitely something to think (even worry) about.

The work rate Pepe adds to our team, is something Hazard won't add.
He'd be the one replacing Vucinic if we would sign him.
15MEuro, I disagree with, if used in the correct way, Hazard definatelt can bring something extra in a team and thus his value definately is higher.
He is the type of player tactics needs to be changed for if he is bought, he isn't a player that will suit a team in a role that is something else then what he is good in.
Pepe is not irreplaceable; to suggest otherwise is ridiculous. This whole work rate and helps with the defending BS is too excessive. Hazard offers so much more going forward. Why is everyone blinded by Pepe's performances? He's only doing well cuz the team is doing well, not the other way around. Pepe is not carrying the team!
I somewhat agree. He's a lot of flash and is appealing to watch while playing but I don't know if that will translate into another league and another team. He does have a lot of time to mature so I won't write him off yet. If he plays smarter and keeps it more simple, he should turn into a great player.
