CR7 does have some qualities that Hazard will probably never have. Strength. Cristiano is stronger than people give him credit. Aerial Ability. He is rather tall and has strong scoring ability for headers. Pace. Hazard is fast but he isn't as fast as Cristiano. Hazard compares more to Messi in the speed department. Shooting power. He can absolutely smash the ball from a distance

I agree 100% on your comment about transfers. He could be like Wenger. YOUTH! FRENCH! YOUNG FRENCHMEN! (In Robbie's case it would be Italians) He could be like Fat 'Arry. BARGAINS! BARGAINS! GOOD LAD! He could be like Rafa. BUY EVERYONE! EVERYONE! FACTS! He could be like Pep. HERE IS ALL THE MONEY I HAVE FOR A PLAYER I DON'T NEED! Or he could be like Jose. Jose Mourinho. The best at transfers.

I'm really excited and really anxious at the same time though. I honestly believe he will reach Cristiano Ronaldo's standard in a few years but he seems to have CR7's ego too. I would still prefer Aguero...I love the Argentine attackers. Higuain, Lavezzi, Milito and Messi to a certain extent. Maybe it's their sexy national flag.

It is just a gut feeling but I'm really sure this guy is coming here. I don't know why, maybe it's all the media propaganda.

On the subject of tactics. This is Chelsea's 'DNA'.

Drogba. There I told you, now where is my rep?

RDM should bring some Italians in, like Marchisio and...ummm...hmmm...Abate...?

KDB isn't very fast and I think he would kill at a deep role a la Pirlo.

Higuian as much as I like him needs someone like Lavezzi to create space and create distractions. If Higuian is indeed the choice, I would prefer Lavezzi over Hulk. Well that's how I see it.

Cricket wasn't a choice, genius. Always looking for a loophole ,eh? On another note, I can't wait for BlueLion to read this thread.

Anyone can support Chelsea as far as I'm concerned. As long as it isn't flavour of the month. I don't mind casual fans, because that is all they will be; casual. It's bandwagoners that piss me off.

League. In Union they stand around a ruck and then kick the ball up the pitch. A bunch of fat guys breathing heavily. In AFL they run around in circles and can't decide whether they are playing Gaelic Football or Basketball. Possibly the worst sport in the world.

Fuck them, less bandwagoners that way.

We could be hypothesising about hypothesising about a hypotheical transfer for a hypothetical team that uses hypothical tactics. Also he was bought with hypothetical money.

In the 04-05 season I think Chelsea only conceded 12 goals. Nothing is more empowering than that.

I like defensive football.

Get outta here, Queensland 4lyfe. You'll witness it tomory. Or he could score one hundred million billion goals in his first match. Hypotheticals are useless!

As far I'm concerned as long as games are won the football is beautiful. I would rather play Catenaccio and win trophies than play like Arsenal and have Arsenal's success with trophies.

Well, it's safe to say that Chelsea is ridiculously popular in Australia. And a number of South American users have been joining lately. Progress!

http://sportwitness....source=activity Fooled ESPN just like it fooled many of you! http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-05-22/chelsea-plans-spending-spree-on-hazard-and-hulk-roundup.html Even bloody, finance sites are getting in on the action. By the way, nice pun Zolayes.

You don't need loads of stuff to do when you are as talented with your left hand as I am. Plus, I don't think I could handle hearing this joke everyday: "Durrr, so ye returnin to tha scene of the crime, eh? hurr hurr hurr."

I know you're joking but I'm just going to throw this out here. My mother's side of the family came from London in the 1860s and my paternal grandparents came from England god knows when (I've never met them). SO BUGGER YOU I COULD GET CITIZENSHIP TO ENGLAND EASILY BUT I DON'T WANNA!

You English are so insecure every time you lose The Ashes you take them back to England. How many times have you lost again? 32 was it?

Because you can spend a lovely afternoon in the sun at the Opera House! The habour is very nice, though.
