The way he behaved convinced me that he was not going to sign for us.This is not the way we do business.
To be honest I'm not too miffed about missing out on these two they are far from world beaters. I reckon Hazard will be in the same bracket, good player but won't set the world alight.Very dissapointing, add him to Ozil and Sanchez as huge talents that got away.
You are one of the best clubs in europe.So is if clubs could only spend what they earn we would now have Nasri, Hazard,Robben,Essien,Aguero etc and would be what were supposed to fecking be one of the best clubs in Europe.
fecking UEFA Platini cnuts get your act together.
yeah but could they give him the role he wanted with all those strikers?I've also strangely come out of this with a bit of new found respect for City. They could've easily matched Chelsea, even beaten them for wages but they held off because they know he's only 21 years old and putting him on the same/higher wages as stars like Yaya and Aguero would be madness.

How much have you seen of him?Yes whatever Pogue. I don't think Kagawa looks all that great, so yes I hope we don't sign him and we have somebody of higher caliber in mind.
Value should not be our ONLY consideration when trying to replace, what have essentially been legends at the club.
True but they only flirted with one other team, this guy went full time whore.I've had no problem with Rooney or Ronaldo being in the team
He can stay at Chelski for all I care. I don't want this guy near my team, we've already had Robinho...Agreed. He strikes me as a prick, and has done for a while now with this constant media whoring.
A great player he may be, but with an ego like that he'll be off to Real Madrid the first chance he gets.
You've watched a lot of Dortmund/Lille/Japan/Belgium then I take it?Yes whatever Pogue. I don't think Kagawa looks all that great, so yes I hope we don't sign him and we have somebody of higher caliber in mind.

You know the Caf had reached the lowest point when a Chelsea fan rates United more than an United fan.You are one of the best clubs in europe.
feck him, let's go for Eva now:
Who knows? Obviously Chelsea are the most likely candidate for games but they're in the worst position of all 3 clubs right now, despite their CL win.yeah but could they give him the role he wanted with all those strikers?
Ronaldos not done too badly for you!He can stay at Chelski for all I care. I don't want this guy near my team, we've already had Robinho...
That's not her. Just someone who looks a bit like her.Is that chick in the pic their physio?! If she is, he's forgiven!
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...ces-move-to-Chelsea-after-quitting-Lille.htmlThere was no official confirmation this evening from either Chelsea or Lille that a deal had been reached over the signing of Hazard, who has been rated at £32million.
Let it go.He announced who he prefers to play for, the rest will follow.
That's true but he wasn't flirting with half of Europe before he joined us unlike your new player right here..Ronaldos not done too badly for you!
How 'brilliant' Chelseas front 4 is remains to be seen.Chelsea's potential front 4:
Torres
Mata Hazard Marin
United's potential front 4:
Rooney
Nani Kagawa Valencia
City's potential front 4:
Aguero
Silva Tevez Nasri
Well it looks like next year will be exciting in terms of attacking talent in the premier league, and that front 4 for Chelsea looks brilliant if Torres can get back to form, which I have a feeling he might now that Drogba is leaving and he will be guaranteed a starting spot. I hope if we do end up getting Kagawa that we switch our formation to a 4-2-3-1 sort of thing, Welbeck is good but still very young and inconsistent so we can't rely on him.
Clutching at straws Colin, he has stated his desire to play for Chelsea and that's that
Yes, Hazard's sources are probably off.
£100,000 a week AFTER tax? That's £200,000 a week basic. fecking welcome to him for that money.
I wouldn't write them off just yet, the transfer season hasn't even started yet and Abramovic already opened his chequebook. They might surprise next season.Chelsea will win nothing next season and he'll regret it.
I agree, I probably should have put potentially brilliant. I don't think there's any doubt about Hazard, I think he is nailed on to become one of the best in the world, and we have already seen how good Mata is. The only question marks are over Marin, who on his day can be a very tricky player but I hadn't seen much of him last season so I'm not sure how he's been getting along. I know he used to be very inconsistent, but he offers them genuine width. The other question is Torres, but you can't deny that Drogba leaving will only do Torres good, making him feel like he is their main man up front. Don't think he will get back to how good he was at Liverpool though, it's been a good few years now, he doesn't have the same pace about him anymore.How 'brilliant' Chelseas front 4 is remains to be seen.
They'll be throwing 2 unproven players straight into the first team behind a striker who hasn't looked himself since joining them.
Let's not forget how pivotal Drogba was in their end of season success. He'll be a big loss.
