What gives me encouragement is the bit that 3 offers and terms have been accepted, which should mean that it's not about money anymore. Therefore, with SAF and our history we should be the frontrunners.

First Top dipping his toe in and now Raoul. This muppetry is truely contagious.
You'll know I'm knee deep in it when I start spamming the thread with rubbish meme gifs.
I wouldnt say so...it could yet be all about the money...wages, more specifically.
But was it not reported that the terms with the player have also been accepted?
With all 3 clubs? If that's true, thats a bit ridiculous imo. I cant see much good in a person being involved in such a deal.

About 30 of them were created while Lille was playing their final match, two days ago.
Why? It's very fair. He's agreed terms with all three clubs and let them know their offer was sufficient. Then he takes a week or two to make up his mind and decide. Very reasonable.
I remember that madness as I took well part of it
But if that was the case then Chelsea winning the Champions League should have made no difference. Hazard obviously had an offer on the table before Chelsea won, but didn't consider them as highly up until that point. When they lifted the trophy he now has an option that pays the most and the team are European Champions. This is obviously his decision. What he has to weigh up is whether to join one of the two sides that have won the big prizes this season and pay more, or join the club with the most history, stability and track record for winning trophies. It's very hard to retain the Champions League trophy, and Chelsea are very much in transition. Their season has been an amazing success despite some massive problems, it's a fluke. City on the other hand have won the league title, and that is also something difficult to defend. They offer no guarantee of continued success.
Remember folks, hazard is away on international duty with Vincent kompany.
And his supposed hero is Lanky Wanky. 
I honestly think we will miss the boat on Hazard theres too much going against us to steal him away from the Oil clubs. Unless of course he is a huge fan of the club which could be a possibility.
Is that the reason you think he's going to City?
Too late to hedge your bets now, pal. You're on record saying we definitely won't sign him - several times.
I've got a list of names.

Starting to actually sound reasonably possible.

Let's send in eh... Marnick Vermilj and Adnan Januzaj..that will match Kompany
Not really...You dont 'agree' with 3 clubs, you just deal with the one you want to. All it shows is indecisiveness and lot more. In my opinion anyway.
So if you got 3 job offers you'd ignore 2 of them and just take the company you were most interested in? without listening to offers from the others?
What if the company you wanted most was offering 20k a year less than the other 2?
He'll make a decision. Then he'll go to the other clubs informing them of his decision and ask if they'll offer anything better. This will drag.
And I still won't care.

Ah good point, we should buy another Belgium player as a mate. I mean, that worked out so well Kleberson.
I would listen to all 3 of course. I would negotiate with all 3 too. However, i wouldnt AGREE a deal with all 3 of them, i would just tell "thanks but no thanks" to 2 of them.
Well, he might not have a "clear winner"; isn't a 21-year-old allowed to be a little indecisive before the biggest move of his career so far?
If he knows he wants to play in the Premier League and three PL clubs make a bid for him, why not talk to all three? Why not see what they all have to offer? He saw the offers, now he can decide but he needs a little time to do so.
I still don't think we'll sign him but I see nothing unreasonable about Hazard thinking this through carefully.
No, I think he'll go to city because they are offering more and we wont pay a huge agent fee.
Yeah but the only thing I think is that he'll ask where he would play. Tevez and Ballotelli may well leave, but if Hazard wants to play regularly and develop then he's got to oust Nasri, Silva, Auguero. Toure often gets pushed up as the advanced midfielder too. Seems certain that City are looking at strikers this summer so in reality he's got to see it as more competition and less guarantee of being a first team regular. City have the money to spunk on him and not be too fussed if it doesn't work out. He surely understands that he'll get much better opportunities at OT and better chance to develop. I think his ego will bring him the OT as the chance to be the main man and become a legend. I'd like to think that not all players are solely interested in money, but some consider their actual playing happiness.
That's irrelevant at this stage
Really? I didn't know he was Belgian..
Yeah but isn't that the thing, if you negotiate with all and they all match your expectations, negotiations are over and you inform that 3 companies that you'll let them know which offer you are accepting. Right?
I assume he hasn't agreed a deal with all of them, he's told them that their offers (contract terms) are suitable presumably, as all 3 contract offers meet his requirements. You can say the terms offered to you are suitable and still go elsewhere. City and Chelsea may well have offered him financial terms that suit him, as may United have. But Chelsea or City may have offered more than United. He'll then decide between the extra money on offer at the European Champions, the Premier League champions or whatever he likes about United. Saying the terms offered by a club are suitable and actually going there are two entirely different things.
Say three different clubs had offered him an identical wage, would it not be fair to tell them all you were happy with the terms offered and then deciding which of the three clubs suited you best?
Well, I sort of agree that he did not "agree to a deal": it's probably more along the lines that he got three offers, none of them were totally unacceptable so now he needs time to make a decision, based on the offers (wages, bonuses, prospect of success at each club, etc.). There will be no more negotiations or bidding war but he'll choose the best offer. But why would he say "no thanks" before making his decision?
Eh?
The agent always wins....
True, which is why I don't think we'll get him. As soon as he starts doing that, he'll be showing that he wants a bigger wage. We can't compete with Chelsea and Man City on that front, so we'll have to pull out, leaving it for them two to negotiate.
Well, you are implying because he is going on international duty with Kompany, it must mean he is signing with City right? If only it was as easy as that eh! I'm sure he doesn't have to go on international duty with his colleagues to ask them for an opinion.
We should give Ronaldo to give him a bell.
People saying he'll do this and he'll do that.
None of us know jack shit about what he'll do.

I know he'll drag it out, like a nun on a motorcycle.
