And in true Hazard style, you start off with your username as the topic header. No dicking around with 'Hello!'/'Chelsea fan from Brusselsssss!'/'New here!' I'm Eden Hazard. My tears cure cancer. Behold my arrival.

I'm not sure I want us to win it now .. Embarrassing branding.

Bwahaha.

Will they all boo God Save The Queen?

The prospect of Gerrard, Henderson and 'Scotty' in central midfield is quite enticing. For a bundle of laughs.

Few grammatical errors aside, a decent attempt. It's quid pro quo.

Expected, no sympathy. We'll be fine though, Luiz - Cahill are more than able backup.

Precisely. Still remember the hue and cry here when Carlo initiated him as a regista.

Mea culpa. So, accordingly the original demand was 170-180k after tax?

I'm not suggesting anything, merely going by what L'Equipe (pretty reliable by most counts) are saying. A few pages back there was a link claiming Hazard had actually offered to reduce his wage to ~70k when we came knocking.

Maybe even more? Isn't tax rate 0.5? If so, Hazard is costing us >=15m a year.

Is that after or before tax?

Fuck off already.

Fuck you jay, you beat me by a few seconds.

You wouldn't want Sigurdsson? Blimey.

Well atleast Sigurdsson won't be following him.

Big difference between starting from scratch and going back to Mourinho's ways though.

A good player is a good player is a good player, whether in China or Portugal or England or Mars. Just saying.

He's 19-20 ffs. You'd think there'll be topics tomorrow saying we've ruined newborns by not giving them playing time.

Like I said, the 50m figure is correct based on UEFA's payments system. It's what the CL run is worth in monetary terms.

I'm not sure where you pulled that number from .. the summation of CL prize money and TV revenue from it is ~50m £.

He's spiderman instead.

Thanks and goodbye.
