I'm not going to pay much attention to these rumours linking players with City - on top of Nasri, Johnson, Milner and their countless attackers their purportedly chasing the likes of Lavezzi, Neymar and Hazard? I’m sure they could accommodate him in some way but there comes a time when a squad is too saturated. Besides Hazard does seem like a clever player, he says all the right stuff and looks to be a consummate professional. Money doesn't drive him - many players would be coy on joining Arsenal with the trophy drought they’re experiencing today, but he sees beyond it and still maintains some yearning to play for them. I think with AVB's attacking philosophy, the money we can offer Lille and the void he can fill - we do stand a chance. Remember our pursuit has been described as the "closest".I'm just hoping Madrid don't pursue him just yet because with Zidane (his idol) and his open love for Madrid it'd be bordering the impossible to say no to Zizou knocking on your front door and asking you to play for Madrid.
