Although I know this story to be absurd, a small part of me hopes that The Russian takes him to Stamford bridge so he can play in the Europa next season.
Eden Hazard | "I am signing for Chelsea"
- Thread starter jdmufc
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Player's agent in "talking about other clubs to increase demand" shocker.
Oh yeah, got you 2 confused. Excuses
My record is fantastic. I'm at 100% with all my predictions so far.Oh yeah, got you 2 confused. Excuses
I predict you are not.
100% wrong?
This thread will come to an end tomorrow!
This thread should be locked until then.
Although this is even more unlikely to happen than the Sneijder transfer last year, I'll go there again and get my hopes up. Could only pretend not to but that would be useless anyway.
I hope, bet he won't though
Or you could just stay away until then.
It can't be helped, when there are 3 or 4 pages more every time i enter this thread, yet it's the same twitter rumours. All part of the fun i guess
Isn't a bit odd that it's coming down to the player himself being the person to announce his own transfer?
Tomorrow we shall know the truth, money grabbing cnut? Or future United star?
Yeah and that's why it stinks of Man City sadly.
I think there is something to be said of this to be honest, if he had agreed to sign with us I think the first thing SAF would do is ask him to cut out the twitter spaculation.
He's been quiet on Twitter for a few days.
But I don't get why people are so desperate for us to sign him. We'd just use him as a winger in a 4-4-2 because that's what we do. Which isn't worth spanking 30 million on.
Just reading through twitter and I'm seeing supporters of different clubs saying exactly what I'm thinking, that Hazard seems a bit of a twat and they wouldn't mind if someone else got him.
I think us, City, Chelsea or whoever is just going to be a stepping stone to one of the Spanish two in a few years.

This is like Harry Kewell to Liverpool all over again
Didn't work too badly for Ronaldo.
I'm pretty sure that in this day and age of media and smartphones the club has its own ways of keeping things out of the press. It wouldn't be the hardest thing in the world to do. Staff at the club won't jeopardise their jobs so all you have to do is make sure nobody notices him being driven into the club in a big fancy car or anything.
Ah, well, I don't follow him but that's a positive I suppose.
He's a special player, he'd improve any side in the world and we'd probably employ in a Ronaldo type role, converting back to 4-3-3 which would be a good thing imo.
It would be a beautiful thing.
Nani, Hazard, Kagawa, Rooney and Welbeck are all suited to those fluid roles.
Not to mention Young as well.
Yeah, I can't see us signing the necessary midfielders to make that work after spending in excess of 30M to get Hazard. Which is precisely my problem with this.
We might get Kagawa, that would be a good start as he'd give us some creative presence in the middle but we'd still need at least one proper CM. Which SAF is extremely reluctant to buy.
Yep, had a browse on twitter there and many people saying he is a prick teasing cnut of the highest order and to be honest they are not that wrong
So does nobody else get the strong impression that Hazard is the type of person that will start engineering a move to Madrid or Barca in a couple of years?
EDIT: Just seen iSparky does.

Subtract Hazard and Kagawa and add Valencia and Young! My god we are spoiled already!!
Yes but thats the way football is these days, if we did sign him and 4-5 years down the line he fancies a move to them then a) it means he has been great b) we gonna get paid big again.
L'Equipe have been running with the Chelsea angle a whilst, every since the false "I'll be wearing blue" quotes.
If he's going to announce tomorrow, I think it's probably obvious why we've lost to City. Especially they invited him to the derby then spoke with him afterwards. Probably why Fergie and Phelen went to see Kagawa. We've lost out on Hazard and Kagawa is #2 choice.

No I don't think all footballers are like that. There are still many that would be happy to play here and not worry about making the next 'career move' to Spain. I get that impression with Kagawa.
I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not excited about the idea of us signing Hazard as it seems a bit cheap to get excited when he doesn't seem to want to play here in particular and because you just know he's going to be talking about his next step in a couple of years time.
I really want us to sign him now, I think its as much to do with stopping city getting him as much as it is about us signing him. Would love us to complete a move for him, kagawa and maybe left back competition for evra. That would leave us in a pretty strong position next season imo
We could always fleece Madrid a second time
I reckon he will come to england for a few seasons and then start professing his life long dream to play for either madrid or barca
For a lot of players, Manchester United are still the pinnacle. Ronaldo going to Madrid really has warped a lot of your minds into thinking every player wants to play for one of the big 2 in Spain.
I've seen Hazard talking about Madrid in the past though and saying how he'd like to emulate Zidane and things like that. This is why I get this impression.
For most continental players, Barcelona and Real Madrid have been, are and in all probability will be bigger than Manchester United. It's something we have to accept and we haven't done too badly regardless.
And at the moment they are better teams than us and are perceived to be much, much, much better so that plays a part, too.
If he really wanted to go to Spain it shouldn't be too hard to get a move right now. He doesn't need a stepping stone.
Nonsense and corrected!!
He wants game time and he knows he wouldn't get that right now. If he establishes himself as a top player in England and Europe then he will be guaranteed football and Madrid/Barca will become an option.
