Heisenberg 1,824 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Serious with the 80 k per week ? Come on , he has more than the double ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 80k p/w?! Isn't that close to what Bosingwa had or more than him?!! And if we are to sign him, it will be on a 5-year contract (like always) and not 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incometax 116 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I only support this signing because he speaks french and if lukaku goes on loan this will be needed for hazard to settle in better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malouda, Essien(if one or both stay), Cech and 1-2 others can speak French too. Some of the staffs and even RDM could probably speak French too and anyway, Hazard is currently learning English. That said, can't see any language issue being a problem of settling in here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clevemayer 764 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I think petr and christoph lollichon (or how his name was written) both speak french decent enough, then so should malouda and essien... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duppy Conqueror 1,537 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Does Lukaku even speak French fluently? He is from Anderlecht, which is a Dutch speaking town...he`s done a TV advert in French and when Hazard was asked on CTV if Lukaku was helping him learn English,Hazard said that it wouldn`t work as we would only communicate in French.although that`s not to give any substance to the idea we are only signing him because he speaks french. all foreign players who can`t speak English will be taught it. it`s been club policy for some time that everyone brought in has to learn English.

Tomo 21,751 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Azpilicueta must be our first Right Back.Ivanovic is ok if we play defensive with the midfield line close to the defenders.But otherwise, I would prefer Azpilicueta as he has more agility and is quite good on one on one situation.Forgive me if im wrong but apart from Lavezzi i can't think of anyone who has given Ivan a torrid time.As far as im concerned Ivan is still first choice right back, if Azpi wants to take that off him he has to earn it by performances on the pitch when he gets the chance, if we move Ivan to the centre to accommodate him ill tear my hair out.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Exactly. Dressing room policy dictates players that can't speak English very well have to sit next to John Terry, Frank Lampard and the rest of the English boys on the left of the dressing room.That will be where David Luiz learnt 'geezer' from.

He is poor going forward most of the time. The team had better offensive balance last season with Bosingwa in the side. Ivanovic is the better defender but he is no Ashley Cole when it comes to all-round competency. He is a centre back and nothing more than a makeshift full-back. Some competition for the position will keep him on his toes, especially as he will have to compete with Azpil, Luiz and Gaz to play in the defence alongside Terry and Cole.

Or they'll be sent to an ESL school. They don't even need to be that fluent, how hard can it be to say "Fuck off ref"/"That was never offside"/"Pass!" and other related football mannerisms?

Just emmercing yourself in the language/culture is the best way to learn. I bet if I moved to France, I'd learn French quicker than I would at a school in Australia.

In that case it'll be ESL, and that's if they want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
