Eden Hazard

[TacticalBlues 2,817]

and now the papers say we have been scouting him recently. but he is only a second option if we fail with Rodwell. You gotta ask yourself, who is stupid here: the club or the papers?

Shit just got scary...

It'd better be the papers.

Danny's physique is more suited to the wing than as a centre-forward.

Yes, exactly. He's a bit frail for a CF.

^ Messi ?

He's not a powerhouse like Drogba or Lukaku but I wouldn't call him frail.

Last time I checked messi played on the wide right and coming inside centrally

Barcelona don't play with any real "striker" in the traditional sense of the role. All three forwards rotate around and are always drifting in and around the final third.

Then, it has been a long time since you watched Barça for the last time.

Pep is André's "master", he wants to play the same kind of football. In this sense, it shouldn't be a problem.

We all know how the team's attack dies when Torres plays as our CF instead of Drogba. Torres is too weak and his work ethic and teamwork skills are not good enough to assume that lone forward role. And as far as I'm concerned, Torres is a bit stronger than Sturridge and is a better teamworker, so how is Sturridge going to make a great centre forward? I'd much rather see him stay on that right hand side where he can take one fullbacks who are relatively easier to beat. If Hazard does come, he should play on the opposite side while Mata moves toward the centre, which is what he does anyway. So yeah, similar to what natavTKL said:

-------Lukaku (in the future)

Hazard-Mata-Sturridge

The attack disappears because he is crap and off form overall, nor because his teamwork/workrate/passing is bad or not good enough for a CF.

Well, off form or not, he hasn't done a great job pressing the opposition or making himself available, and he loses out fairly often trying to dribble past a bunch of players.

Setanta claim City are in poll position.

[Spike 12,049]

I'm really starting to fucking hate City. It will only get worse if they sign Hazard.

[LondonPride1905 236]

^Then perhaps we will have a shot at Adam Johnson, and we could add another british winger ^^

[termninja 5,290]

Oh if City get him I'm really gonna get pissed. If he dumps us in favor of joining them - fine, but if we don't even show interested then

[Hd123 5]

Why are we getting mad if city sign him? It's going to be really, really stupid on their part as they already have one of the best, youngest, attacks in the world. Their prime target should be replacing Lescott or finding a better LB

Getting Hazard shouldn't prevent them from getting other players.

Besides, they seem to be keen on having some sort of a monopole in the EPL with young attackers.

Maybe they're planning to play a 1-2-7 formation?

That team is ridiculous, it's like a Fifa dream team.
