The thing is Hazard has said he wants to go somewhere he plays regularly.

I can see Man united coming in for him

I cant. United have really slowed down the spending and like us, are looking to the youth team instead. They have been crying out for a midfielder for a few years now but havent been prepared to pay over the odds for anyone. The majority of players now are overpriced and I dont think United are prepared to play that game anymore. They might make an offer alright, but City and Chelsea will blow them out of the water as soon as they do.

If he is dead set on England, it's a two horse race between Chelsea and City. If City win the League and Chelsea dont get fourth, it's a one horse race. Chelsea need him more, but City would be able to offer more, not just in terms of money.

Blue, maybe white (Madrid) for him next season imo.

I will admit, I've only seen the odd few clips of him on youtube and all that. But Is he really that good in the middle? I was always under the impression that he's a winger who can play inside..

I can see both the manc clubs fighting it out for Sneijder during the summer.. In my opinion our only chance of landing Hazard is if the deal is done & dusted before the Euro's...
Still think he'll end up at Chelski tho

Massive risk spending 30 mill for Hazard imo.

Have more confidence in your ability.

Not sure why United would be going after Hazard really as they have plenty of the dynamic dribbler types on their books. Unless they were looking to cash in on Nani but the liklihood is they'd pay just as much for Hazard. Citeh maybe, Chelsea I dunno about, I would have thought there'd be more smoke from their end if there was interest.

Long before the Hazard rumours began in earnest (long before he became a well known name in England really) Hazard has gone on the record of his admiration of Arsenal (at one point he said ourselves and Real are the only two clubs he wanted to move to whenever he did leave France). I personally would love to see him replace Arshavin, I reckon if we finish the season strongly we'd have a reasonable chance of being able to land him.

Hazard will sign for Arsenal in the summer.




or united, city, spurs, chelsea, liverpool.

We don't do blockbuster signings and we're not about to start. You can cross Hazard off the list as he is in that category.

We've been a club who've bought promising players and turned them into world class players and that's where we need to go back to. Forget buying shelling out obscene amounts on youngsters like Ramsey and Walcott; start looking at players who have flown under the radar of the big clubs for whatever reason - Enrique when at Newcastle, Cabaye when at Lille and Ba when at TSG.

Robert Pires if memory serves me right he was a bit of a blockbuster drawn out transfer to Arsenal i which we won a battle with Real Madrid.

Reading this morning will try get link up later that hazard will sign for Chelsea massive signing on fee he will get,they just splashed to much cash was the same with mata we can't compete

emergingstar

Sanga back last night, Gibbs rejoins full training today, and Jenkinson is running with no pain so he is allowed up his training
We might actually see two proper full backs for the first time in 88 days
I'm a little excited about the ox and Gibbs/santos on thd same wing be excellent going forward

No point wishing for the impossible at this stage, FA Cup is our best chance!

We're not likely to be that this year if we're being realistic.

Unfortunately its just a pipe dream at the moment, but when ya hear the commentator talk about a long ball with Henry running onto it, it does bring back good memories

Exactly. Did anyone see those interviews with arsenal fans before the match on espn? There was a little kid about 8 or 9 saying i just wanna see them win something anything. Its mad thinking that all those kids can't even remember arsenal winning anything. I remember like it was yesterday, man it made me feel old, and Im not old! Far from it!

Yeah I seen him, I'm only 18 so i've been through mainly good times, last few years have been hard though I must admit :pac:.

Even thinking back to the League Cup final if we had won that things might have been much different now, granted it's only the League Cup but I feel that would have spured us on to win more trophies, hopefully it happens this year if we win the FA cup. Might restore a bit of belief back into the lads!

I'm 26 now, and have been a gooner for the last 20 years. I can sure as hell remember those good ol days The Viera's, Petit's and Gilberto's, feeding the likes of Bobby, Freddie, Overmars and so on.. Those were great times to be a gooner!!
But I can also remember some bad times since bfore then. When things were alot darker than what they are now!!

Thats why I feel its no harm to try and look on the bright side of things at the mo.. Some big players returning, the emergence of some quality youngsters ala Oxo & Coq and so on..

Even tho we are probably only the 3rd or 4th best team left in the FA cup. (underdogs ) I still think we're in with a great shout. Wenger used really love this competition, and had a great record until recently. If we were to lift it, and land a quality creative player in the summer. Who knows here we could end up going??

Always keep the faith lads

Thomas eisfeld anyone???

Even google not helping on this one, bit of an unknown. From the little bit of information I can gather hes an attacking midfielder of some sort . Any word on the transfer fee?

Sounds a lot like Amaury Bischoff from a few years ago. Pretty much nothing was known about him and I think he only made three or four sub appearances before being released.

Hopefully this isnt the same, especially if it costs money. At least Bischoff was a free.

Check out his injury record. He's perfect.

KeithAFC

Its amazing the club has young kids who have never seen the club win anything. They missed out on seeing some incredible players.

Good to hear RVP will face no action for the elbow in the dish.

Gazidis speaks..... So no Hazard then....

I can see your point but even if we win the fa cup this season if we dont qualify for the CL next season then it will be a disaster for us IMO!

Ever. Or anyone like him.
I'd say its young 'uns all the way from now on.
All we're missing is two or three established proven players who know what its about and we'd be flying, they in turn, would be teaching these young lads a winning mentality etc etc.

Its so frustrating.

Miyachi to Bolton on loan. Good deal for both sides, hopefully he'll get a good few games.
