We shut Hazard down. It doesn't get much better than that.
I was sat with someone who is in a position to know; he believed his diet was still pretty dreadful, carrying too much brown fat and always has been - and that is part of his 'issue' - and yes said he's still packing too many pounds
But they have been monitoring a number of other number-eight-style midfielders, including the likes of Tanguy N'Dombele, Abdoulaye Doucoure, Donny van de Beek, Sander Berge and Morgan Sanson.

Tottenham are keen on Hoffenheim midfielder Florian Grillitsch, according to Sky sources.
It is understood Spurs scouts have been watching Grillitsch play at club and international level this season - and they like what they have seen.
The 23-year-old Austria international is also thought to have a release clause in his contract, which has more than two-and-a-half years left to run, of just over £18m.
Mauricio Pochettino is understood to be keen on the midfielder
Grillitsch's name is thought to be on a list of potential successors to Mousa Dembele, who appears close to a move to the Chinese Super League following an acceptable offer lodged by Beijing Sinobo Guoan earlier this week.
Also on Spurs' list is understood to be Borussia Monchengladbach's Denis Zakaria, who Spurs chief scout Steve Hitchen has continued to track since the Switzerland international's switch to Germany.
According to Sky sources, Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino asked for regular updates on the 22-year-old during his time at Swiss side Young Boys.
Tottenham have been scouting for Dembele's successor for almost two years, and have seen players they admire such as Geoffrey Kondogbia and Matteo Guendouzi sign for other top clubs.
But they have been monitoring a number of other number-eight-style midfielders, including the likes of Tanguy N'Dombele, Abdoulaye Doucoure, Donny van de Beek, Sander Berge and Morgan Sanson.
I love all this speculation, but Poch has said more than once that he doubts we'll make any January signings, so we'll just have to wait and see
He looks too slight to make it as a DM in the PL.
Hate to break it toyou guys keeping this thread going buuuuut we ain't signing anyone
You've just confirmed we'll be making at least one signing!! :eek!:

Poch is a true yid, he knows it best to be pessimistic and not have high hopes.
They are also managed by pochs great mateWe should be looking at some of the Leeds players...young eager fast aggressive even in defeat they keep going at 100 miles per hour...saw a few of their games over xmas and was highly impressed with their midfield and attack...
