Really, I do not care about the buy-out close. I just want to see this player with us, if only one year - anything can happen within one year. I am more concerned about our strikers. If we cannot score, whatever the midfield, we are dead.
If you want to challenge the facts that the most valuable teams are those that get trophies, look at the evidences instead of repeadtly insulting me:
RM: CL.
EDF: WC
MC: PL
That's being said, there might some exemptions but be realistic. Most valuable team won on average. And inded City has a net spend of around 150 every year while we have 50. It is translated on the pitch. Like it or not.
Fully agree. Giroud and Bats as strikers. Bats is a pure striker; Giroud would be more in assist role to Bats + defensive role. As he did for France during WC. Morata as nr. 3 or sell it.
Man City had a net spend on transfers two or three times larger than ours for several years now: around 50 vs 150. Of course, at some point, it is translated into results. Like France at the WC, the most valuable team.
In Belgian newspapers, it is said that price tag is 200 million Euros (around 178 million pounds) and that Chelsea is prepared to fight to death to keep Hazard with new long-term contract of 335K a week.
On the other hand, Chelsea is rumoured to accept 30 million pounds or so RM bid for Courtois but this can only happen after we have found another goal keeper.
Likely to be a double deal: Courtois and Hazard off to RM for 200.
Fantastic players but big-headed. Hazard: 'I know I am the best player of the world cup'.
