Deals involving player swaps are very rare nowadays because of the complexity. Yes, they could get Cuadrado, but I haven't seen anything remotely credible linking us with Pogba.

Seems like this might actually happen. Very pleased!

I don't think Arsenal are reliant on Sanchez though. They have lots of creative midfielders.

We're still too reliant on a few players (Hazard/Matic) and if one gets injured I can't see us winning the title.

I think it'll be the same as last year (except Costa likely out). i.e. Courtois Ivanovic - Cahill - Terry - Azpilicueta Fabregas - Matic Willian - Oscar - Hazard Falcao I also reckon Falcao will get the nod ahead of Remy.

Hi guys I really want to watch this match but am on holiday in France. Does anyone know if this is on French tv and if so which channel? Thanks!

The guardian are very reliable. Clearly Man U have approached the Guardian with this story because they are sending a message to their fans, Rooney, and Chelsea. It does not mean the deal is definitely off, but it does seem very unlikely at this stage.

Anyone got a link to a stream?

Dude, it's on iplayer.

Looks likely as he's already had a medical. Nothing certain, but I'm expecting it to be official just after the olympics.

I think it will be official... ...but, only after the olympics.

Blind optimism? The fee being talked about is rather extreme - £25mill is a hell of a lot for someone who has never played in europe before. Mata was an established top european player - clearly far ahead of where Oscar is now and sold for less.

Not true. Look at how few goals Drogba scored this year. I watched nearly every game last season - there was a clear lack of service. Anyway back to Oscar! £25mil is a hell of a lot for a player who's young and never played in europe. I'd be glad to have another creative/technical player but it's definitely risky business.

We already have Lukaku and Sturridge who are better. Why are we interested in this guy???

Or is there...?

Why are people arguing about "world class"? What does the term even mean??? Personally I hope we get Hulk, he's exactly what we need. Yes he might be overpriced, but frankly, I don't really care.

Chillax everyone! We have Hazard.

Welcome to chelsea Eden.

They're asking him about the England game (vs france). Why have you chosen chelsea and not real madrid/barca? "chelsea because it's a project, some players are leaving, they have new players - his priority was to play, that is more difficult are barca/real etc.

Just started - Eden is in London on the phone.

Could we possibly see a chelsea tv/website announcement before 5pm then, with Hazard then being free to talk about the transfer in this radio interview afterwards...? Saga soon to be over?!!!

Check the post above yours.

No guys, he is doing an interview on french radio, people said it was gonna start at 3pm but I'm listening to the radio, and they just said it was 6pm french time (4pm uk time).

Just started. edit: maybe not. They just said it was at 18:00 so 4pm uk time I think.

Ok, I'm listening to the interview and can speak a bit of french so I'll try and translate. My french is not great though so don't take what I translate as gospel! edit: oh, and hello all!
