Slam Dunk

In before a mock of a Hazard #11 shirt is posted...

Delighted. Great signing. Let's hope he's worth bringing the internet to a standstill!

I think Eden Hazard has officially broken the internet.

Quick, somebody get down to Heathrow! Who's closest?

And I thought our previous sagas were bad enough. This is Neymar x 1000.

Sure I remember somebody (think it may have been middleoftheshed) say it was going to be white with light blue stripes?

Oh dear, the creepy photoshops of him in a CFC kit have started...I'm out.

Not to mention the fact he also has a park named after him!

Yes, he does. I sincerely doubt that the number on his shirt will affect his transfer decision though. I mean, seriously, come on.

Ok guys seriously, he does not want the No.10 shirt, and he does not want £200k per week. Can we stop this, please?

Possibly the most boring game of football i've ever seen, and I cant believe I'm saying that when Downing, Carrol and Henderson are on the pitch.

This guy > Hulk

Awful from Hangeland though, sold himself so easily. Good finish though.

Dzeko.

I wouldn't get your hopes up on that one, mate. Nice to dream though

Mata is our no.10, Silva is City's, United do not have one (which is why they were also looking at Kagawa). The reasoning behind United being the bookie's favourites is clear enough.

Interesting that he previous manager has said that the reason Lukaku wasn't getting much game time was because Chelsea were reconditioning his body. Apparently he was too muscular at Anderlecht. Saw a pic of him on twitter and he really has lost a lot of mass. Hopefully we should see him in action a lot more next season.

Well we're currently in negotiations with Porto (no offer has been made). Although, 4 other EPL teams are interested, apparently.

Please stop hypothesising his wages. He will not be paid £200k a week.

Confirmed our offer has been accepted, United & City's offers have also. All down to Eden.

Ok, so Kalou & Bos look to be leaving. Four players to be offered new deals.

Gourlay called a press meeting for a 'confidential briefing' today, anyone have any idea what it was about? News should break tonight i'd imagine. If this is being discussed elsewhere, could someone please point me in the direction?

I think this 200k per week talk is getting out of hand. He will certainly not get paid £200k per week at Chelsea, and i'd have serious doubts that he'd be on anything substantially over £100k. What's more likely is that his agent is demanding astronomical fees for negotiating with the clubs etc.

Half of those aren't 'wingers'. My point was that the modern winger isn't what most want them to be, they will cut in and shoot rather than look for the overlap or take on a man. People complain about players, such as Kagawa, not being able to play on the wing because they don't believe they can beat a man, run it to the by line and cross, when the fact is that most wide players now days are equally adept at a no.10 role as well as out wide because of the style of football most teams play forces them to.
