Eden Hazard | "I am signing for Chelsea"

[Liam147]

Dunno if this has been posted, but for when the inevitable happens and you look for some hope...

Kagawa:

Season   Apps Goals Assists
2010–11   18  8     1
2011–12   31  13    11
Total     49  21    12

Goal or assist every 1.48 games

Hazard:

Season   Apps Goals Assists
2010–11	 38   7     10
2011–12	 38   20    15
Total    76   27    25

Goal or assist every 1.46 games

Only done the last two seasons as that's as long as Kagawa's been in Europe, bearing in mind he had an injury hit season. The stats would suggest there's actually very little between them in terms of productivity, plus Kagawa's in a much better league.

 

[Nani Nana]

What does "il se taira" mean?

he'll stay silent (that is, after having heralded his choice on twitter)

 

[Hawkeye]

Whoever Marc Wilmots is , says that there will be no statement for 10 days and nothing before the club issues a statement. Boooo

Sounds very much like Fergie and United. Wasn't Marko Marin broke by his German team before he signed for Chelsea.

 

[Sassy Colin]

Still no answer on this then?

 

[Bryan_Munich]

"Ultimately, this does not look the Belgian Union or the Red Devils. That's her problem. It will give the reversal when it will. You do not know Eden. It is not that going the stress or the concentration. When he has, through his tweet, indicated his destination club, he will be silent until his new employer will ask him to explain his choice. expect nothing further ten days."

..

 

[Adam-Utd]

Got a feeling fergie and gill may have given him 1 final ultimatum....

Much better league ? Two-time champions Borussia Dortmund got kicked out of the CL this season by Marseille who finished 10th in Ligue 1.

The French league has provided umpteen talents to England down the years, Henry, Drogba, Evra, Essien, Malouda, Nasri, Wiltord, Pires, etc.

What's the Bundesliga provided in contrast? Mertesacker

 

[Raoul]

There's likely a lot of behind the scenes maneuvering going on right now at United and Chelsea.

 

[Art]

So when is his decisive tweet expected then?

Yeh, because most of the best talents in the Bundesliga stay in the Bundesliga.

The reason for that?

Because it's a much better league.

Porto knocked out United a few years back in the European Cup; that same year, Monaco knocked out both Chelsea and Real Madrid. Are the Portuguese and French leagues better than the English and Spanish?

The standard in Germany is clearly much higher than that in France, has been for a good few years now too. You're kidding yourself of you think otherwise.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Ah. Thanks. New verb to me that one.

 

[Inigo Montoya]

What does "il se taira" mean?

It's the future of to be quiet IIRC so he will be quiet

 

[Pexbo]

That's bollocks, the true Wilmots quotes are



Which mean he will first issue a tweet saying what his choice is, and then zip it for 10 days

Sounds like there will be a flurry of betting back to United now. No reason we wouldn't let him tell everyone he's coming to us after this already public saga. Let him announce it and then keep stuchm until an official press unveiling.

Most likely we caved in to the agents demands...

If you think Ligue 1 is a stronger league than the Bundesliga then you're fecked in the head.

 

[vanthaman]

So when is his decisive tweet expected then?

August 31st

 

[Randall Flagg]

That's how we assess a league then? By how much talent a league provides to ours? In that case La Liga is utter shite.

Much better might have been an over-exaggeration, but the German league clearly has better quality than the French league.

 

[EvilChuck]

he will be silent until his new employer will ask him to explain his choice.

So he's going to city, because all the fans in Manchester support city

 

[gormless]

Might have just forgotten his twitter password...

 

[Ole'sbodyguard]

Seriously what the hell is going on here?

I can't make head nor tail of this thread. Can anyone summarise it.

 

[I'm always right]

Has he trolled us again? God this guy's a genius, King of the internet.

 

[kps88]

He's probably just chilling with his team mates right now. Or having dinner. His agent must be sorting out the details of his announcement with the club. Doubt he really cares about the fact that he's causing such a ruckus.

 

[Nani Nana]

That's how we assess a league then? By how much talent a league provides to ours? In that case La Liga is utter shite.

Sure. De Gea, Silva, Mata, Xabi Alonso, Reina ...

 

[Randall Flagg]

It is imminent. SSN say "anytime now"

 

[Art]

This employer asking him to be silent business seems a lot like SAF but feck it.

Who are we kidding, lets get Nick Powell and Clyne and crywank ourselves to sleep

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

Well atleast it looks like RedRichio will probably be wrong. His 'source' was certain he would end up at City.

Ban coming up.

 

[Feed Me]

It is imminent. SSN say "anytime now"

The bastards have been saying that for nigh on five hours now!

 

[Raoul]

Has he trolled us again? God this guy's a genius, King of the internet.

Its all self-inflicted by fans on places like twitter and the CAF transfer forum. Hazard hasn't set a foot wrong in all of this.

 

[Godfather]

Ok guys. Could anyone tell me what's the latest? Would be much appreciated

So I guess that makes the Swiss and Portuguese leagues better than the premier league seeing as we got dumped out

The main difference why German stars stay at home is because it is a relatively wealthy league compared to France - its only going to get more wealthy with the latest TV deals

In terms of quality it's probably SPAIN - ENGLAND - GERMANY - ITALY at the minute

 

[Orton]

Well atleast it looks like RedRichio will probably be wrong. His 'source' was certain he would end up at City.

Ban coming up.

See what spending a week with Kompany does!

 

[Redfighter]

It is imminent. SSN say "anytime now"

At least we haven't had Sky Sources understand...yet

 

[wr8_utd]

So we have 10 days in the Powell and Kagawa threads before we return for the big day here.

 

[bosnian_red]

Seriously what the hell is going on here?

I can't make head nor tail of this thread. Can anyone summarise it.

A lot of journalists are speculating with nothing to back it up that Hazard will announce his decision today based on a tweet saying

"Good afternoon guys. I made my mind up. See you later, thanks."

Then they start saying he will be joining Chelsea, based on no evidence. Then people are getting mad at Hazard for not announcing his decision yet, even though he never actually said he will announce today. The only thing he's ever said has been it's between City, United and Chelsea.

 

[Siorac]

Seriously what the hell is going on here?

I can't make head nor tail of this thread. Can anyone summarise it.

Hazard tweets or gives an interview every 5-10 days or so, making cryptic remarks without actually revealing anything substantial.

The Caftards analyze everything, take every source's contradictory bullshit as gospel and build up Hazard to be a one-man wrecking machine, designed to lay waste to the Premier League on his own. Except if he joins City because he'll be benched there.

 

[Liam147]

Sure. De Gea, Silva, Mata, Xabi Alonso, Reina ...

Conversely, how many English exports are there? Clearly our league is the worst from every country in the world's point of view. My point is, judging a league based on its exports is absolutely ridiculous.

Anyone looking for updates, there aren't really any. Chelsea seem set to sign him based on betting odds and numerous sources (many being twitter).

 

[Top]

Bet he hasn't agreed with any club after all, but now he's got United, Chelsea and City panicking trying to steal the deal from this secret club.
