Laylabelle 9,535 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Also - He said his decision will be made by around June 2nd.If knowing how he'll be deployed is such a huge factor to him, surely he'd want to speak to a team with a MANAGER.We have no manager. We have no plan in place. We have no one to tell him how he'll be used.Same case with any player we go for..cant exactly make promises about them playing and who play with etc if we have no one in place to make those decisons for definate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,907 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I honestly think we're secretly planning something huge behind the scenes. Think about it; the reason Pep wants a sabbatical is because he didn't want to deal with the constant pressure of being at Barca. We've just won the 1 trophy that Roman wants, so it's possible that if the right manager is brought in, he wouldn't be under as much pressure to get that 1st UCL trophy. He could be given something like a 3 or 5 year contract and assurances that he'd be given the resources he needs to build the empire our owner wants.Just imagine the offseason we could have and the confidence we'd have going into the next campaign with Pep at the helm. Both his and our new transfers targets' confidence could be boosted almost immediately if we can win the UEFA Super Cup, Club World Cup, and Community Shield.I can honestly see this happening.

Santiago. 1,500 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 If we get both Hulk and Hazard, with Marin and DeBryune in the bench, as well as Ramires rotation. That would certainly be enough depth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manuf 1,448 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I wish mods would lock the whole transfer board. It's fucking annoying to see speculation about every player in the world, people who think they are managers and write formations with every player they know, putting youngsters there and also every little news being posted everywhere. God, how I hate transfer windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warnie_666 1,081 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Hazard = grade A gold digging skank Chelsea man city and UTd = 3 rich guys head over heals for thT skank.And she's playing games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculatingInfinity 1,472 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Hilarious how the English press use this as a headline "Hazard tells Manchester United, City and Chelsea, 'I will not accept a bit-part role'" when what he then says in the article is "My decision will depend on my position and how much playing time I will get".Stop eating up all the medias bullshit. As for arrogance, lets see the interview he gave today"I am very happy to receive so many compliments from Marc Wilmots. He is close to the players and we understand each other perfectly" "But do I really deserve them ?""I'm happy about this role as No. 10. I know very well that if I make two, three bad games, I'll be out. But I am grateful for the trust given to me" "It's now up to me to be as decisive for the national team as with Lille. I want to return the favor on the pitch."OMG, such an arrogant cunt!!!! I HOPE HE STAYS AT LILLE AND NEVER GETS TO PLAY IN PREMIER LEAGUE!!!!!! I wish mods would lock the whole transfer board. It's fucking annoying to see speculation about every player in the world, people who think they are managers and write formations with every player they know, putting youngsters there and also every little news being posted everywhere. God, how I hate transfer windows.How about you just stop visiting it? Speculations and what not is kind of what the transfer forum is there for, you can ignore it very easily.

KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 The whole thing about his preferred option being the Playmaker makes it really difficult to say where he will go. One thing is for sure, City are ruled out. The 2 things he wants (Playing time and the Number 10 role) are the 2 things City can't offer. Silva plays and is suited to play behind the striker. It truly is now between us and ManUre. ManUre are favourites. We may not be able to offer him the 'Number 10' role as it is Mata's. The only way we could get him is if he changes his mind and doesn't mind playing on the wings again. The 2nd option is we change it for him by convincing him that the system we will play will be fluid and free flowing meaning he will be able to roam around and swap with Mata regulary, in a 4-2-3-1 system.Both us and ManUre can offer him playing time (us more so). ManUre would have to change their system which I find a hard thing to see happening. However Hazard knows Fergie could turn him into a star. On our end the London lifestyle and Wages are a big attraction. It really is a toss up. ManUre are favourites but I'm hoping we can pull it off.We need to keep going for him still. We can't miss out on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe 10,861 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Are we sure that Mata is better at the trequartista role than Hazard? For all we know Hazard could be an improvement. Although Mata does require marginally less salary, hence he is lower maintenance option. Using Mata and Hazard at the same time would be a great option, because both are universal and can play anywhere in the attacking third. I don't see why we are in disadvantage in the playing position argument, we can offer him any position and all the gametime he wants.

I don't see why we are in disadvantage in the playing position argument, we can offer him any position and all the gametime he wants.Mata is better suited as an AM rather than LW. So it's best to keep him as the number 10. Hazard has got good pace and trickery/skills which is why he'd be better suited as a winger than Mata. Hazard and Mata can always switch constantly so I agree somewhat, he can still play here in positions he would like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 If we get both Hulk and Hazard, with Marin and DeBryune in the bench, as well as Ramires rotation. That would certainly be enough depthNo just hazard OR hulk (not both) would be good enough plus don't forget Studge too!! Torres/StudgeHazard/Marin-mata-Studge/kdb.

Superblue 6,372 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Anyone considered us changing to a 4-2-2-2 formation like City.I'm sure in an interview Gourlay hinted we may have 2 strikers here next season who could score 25-30 goals each.Could you imagine mata and hazard behind falcao and torres. Wishful thinking and i prefer the 4-2-3-1 anyway but wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
