Well, that's a positive at least.


I can't decide if that's a good thing or not. Depends how much he costs and his wages etc I suppose. But I feel that we will still need a goal scored to play along side him and I don't think we can afford that now we haven't got CL football.

Hazard wants to move to United supposedly. He's been quoted as saying "Chelsea aren't stable enough and City's squad is too big".

He'd be a great signing but it'd leave us with 4 wingers unless Nani is moving somewhere hopefully :x

Hazard hasn't played winger all season, he can play there of course but he's been playing alot more central this season (where he scored his hattrick from last night)

Ahhh has he ? I'd much rather be buying Sneijder/Modric to plug that gap for a world class midfielder.

Sneijder has been injury prone for the last two seasons. That boat has passed now.

Hazard plays in the same position as Sneijder too. He can play off the striker. If we get him, Kagawa on the cheap and a CM, I'd be delighted. It will mean and indicate that Fergie is going to change our style of play. Far too many time it's predictable out wide and cross to not big players like Rooney or Welbeck. We never seem to create anything centrally. When Rooney plays off the striker, he tries to be too fancy and his short passing isn't good enough.

Obviously we going to have to sell a few players. I can see Berba going. I would get rid of Anderson and Park.

He'd be around £15m, which is cheap for a top quality player.

His contract expires in 2013 and he's already said he isn't signing another one. He'll be a lot cheaper than he should be.

Yeah the Dortmund CEO has said today or yesterday how they want big money for him - a similar fee to what Bayern paid for Neuer last summer when he was in the final year of his contract.

And to be honest you never know with Hazard :lol: He'll probably change his mind again tomorrow. Lille have said 4 teams are interested - so that's Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea and i wonder who the other is? Spurs maybe? He's flirted with PSG before and despite their denials i wouldn't be surprised if they were interested.

Just forgot that Dortmund sold their last seasons player of the year Sahin on the cheap last year. So its bizarre to use Neuer as an example. He was expensive because it was one German club selling to another. Sahin was pretty cheap. Ashame Mourinho doesn't seem to fancy him.

He has previously said he would be interested in joining Spurs. But frankly he seems to be prepared to whore himself out to everyone.

Sneijder is a second striker, much like Rooney. Modric is a passing midfielder. Completely different players. I would argue Sneijder isn't even a midfielder.
