It's business. They got a contract on him and he should honor it like any professional if they don't want to sell, would be silly for Porto not to try and get as many millions as possible. It could easily be around 90% done and it's only a few millions separating the clubs.

Well..Damn.

I would think a player like Hulk would have more than 26.000 followers. He's also posting photos of himself that can be found on other sites, posted months before he did it on twitter and his account is not verified. So yeah, really doubt it's him.

Well even Robbens hairline >>> Gervinhos hairline.

Gervinho was 22 or 23 when he went to Lille. Hazard started playing for them when he was 17.

Eh surely Marin or De Bruyne (he can play right win too, right?) will be on that right wing. I love Ramires but he isn't a fantastic winger. Also really doubt Hazard is going to play centrally instead of Mata, it will be Hazard going on that left wing.

The clue is in his location Location: Eva's Bedroom

and in 70 years they won't have any numbers left. Del Piero told the Juve management not to retire his number 10 shirt and Pirlo agreed and I quite liked his reasoning

You are comparing the transfer price of Ronaldo alone here to the transfer price and wages over the next 5 years from the Hazard transfer.

Alright I give up. My last post on this number 10 shirt bullshit, but yet yet yet again : Give me a link, anything where he says that, it's ridiculous how this has become a truth all of a sudden. Again let me quote Hell, you just have to read beyond the title of the bullshit article that started this to see he didn't demand the #10 on his new team but was simply talking about how great it was to play that for Belgium. http://www.dailymail...eams-No-10.html

There's nothing to be concerned about. Also the picture is amazingly stupid for several reasons, how is it concerning in any way that he says things like "yes, they are a good club, it's possible" about any club? Was he supposed to say "Arsenal? nah, they are shit"? But even then I don't believe any of the quotes, especially when that "it will be one of the 2 Manchester clubs" quote is completely wrong, here's the interview that quote was based on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpR_A6QogIc As you can read from the guardians article that is when he's supposed to say that ( http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2012/may/15/manchester-eden-hazard-city-united?CMP=twt_gu ). If you watch that you clearly see it's complete bullshit and he didn't say that. It's amazing that people are still, after we have signed him, eating up all these so called quotes that there is never any evidence off. You would think there could at least be a video where he was saying all this shit. Same goes for his "demanding of having number 10".

It's probably bullshit anyway, lets not judge Hazard on rumors of him demanding numbers on his shirt, especially after the English medias has already shown how they will make up whatever just to try and create some drama.

I can read newspapers and listen to/look up the original source. It's amazing I know, but 90% of the time it's the media loosely translating everything and taking quotes completely out of context to sell more. See my post above.

Now that we are on about the medias and their bullshit quotes and headlines (I am going to manchester, wearing blue...), here's from a Belgian on another forum :

No he didn't. Give me any quotes from him saying that, please. Or are you just talking about shitty headlines from trash journalists?

Alright here we go again : Did you see what he was responding to or are you pulling that out of context on purpose? : "Wilmots (the new national team coach) decided to give him the nr 10 jersey/role since Wilmots rates him pretty high and the Belgium team needed a proper number 10. He used to play as a winger or was a benchwarmer under the previous coach. Wilmots said he watched Hazard at Lille this season and saw him flourish in that more central role. Then medias asked Hazard directly and he confirmed he likes the position. That's about it. He didn't even mention wanting the number 10 role at Chelsea/United/City."

He did to people who only read stupid sensationalist headlines. A few people has been trying to get that point across for the last 50 pages but some people really will keep believing whatever trash media puts in their headlines.

Why pick two when we can pick 3? Hazard - Mata - Marin Also really think that Malouda will be going. Kevin de Bruyne is unproven at this stage, not to forget that Marin really hasn't had that great a season at Werder, so could still use a right wing more.

Can't wait for him to be amazing for us and see the hundreds of people in here eat crow.

Rory Smith ‏@RorySmithTimes I am led to believe Eden Hazard announces his future at 5pm UK time tonight. From a much much older generation, not comparable at all.

That LOSC News profile got 222 followers and 11 tweets (only just starting tweeting a week ago)... Not sure how reliable that is, lol

He's from Belgium, not North Korea.

That's what we have been discussing all day.

I have no idea if that info is correct or not, but transfermarket has quite a reputation of at times being completely wrong, so don't hold them as some holy truth.

Again : He isn't demanding #10 or anything like that. He has said he dreams of playing in the 10er role and wearing #10. There's no desperation here and what he was saying was more of a "yeah it would be a fantastic to...." than what the shitty english medias are trying to make it sound like.
