Aren't there concerns at the moment he may not be going due to injury?

by sodhat Tue May 22, 2012 2:44 pm

Yeah, he hurt his hand or something

Seems to suggest he'll be ok though

by TwisT Tue May 22, 2012 2:44 pm

I have Cahill, but the french trio works well I think now I have M'Vila. I think we will have a lot of tight games next season, so I wanted a good strong dominant midfield.

Ha just read that right now. What are they doing together?

by FIFA Diva Tue May 22, 2012 2:48 pm

Old joke Nick you won't be getting a laugh from me.

I hope Hazard don't come I sent him a rude Tweet yesterday maybe he has backed off. Does Kagawa have Twitter? I want to shower him with compliments and seduce him into joining United.

by **Hero** Tue May 22, 2012 2:53 pm

I sent Hazard the following Tweet yesterday....

Cantona, Beckham, Ronaldo, Hazard? The number 7 shirt awaits.

I'm claiming that tipped him if it's the case.

by nick_fury Tue May 22, 2012 2:53 pm

Old Joke?

I dont want Hazard.
Kagawa is the one we should get. Dont think he has twitter

by sodhat Tue May 22, 2012 2:54 pm

You sure you guys don't want Hazard, or are you just saying it so you won't be sad if he picks City or Chelsea...?

by **Hero** Tue May 22, 2012 2:56 pm

I would walk over burning coals to get Hazard in. If City get him IMO you might as well hand them the title now for next season.

by FIFA Diva Tue May 22, 2012 2:58 pm

No Sodhat, I was sad when Ronaldinho picked Barca or when Shearer picked Newcastle (Not anymore because we got Ronaldo and Solksgaer) but they didn't beat around the bush. This kid is clearly taking the urine and will join who offers him the most. I think £32m is too much and I much rather we spend it on Kagawa.

Would you not join who offers you the most if you were in his situation? You would be pretty silly not too!!

Plus Hazard > Kagawa everyday in my book

No I would not join who offers me the most, I would join the club which feels right for me. I'm not saying Man City shouldn't sign him they have every right what annoys me is the kid whoring himself to everyone and I don't like that happening with my club he should just join City because I don't want someone like that at my club.

Guess you just have a collection of colouring books.

by nick_fury Tue May 22, 2012 3:03 pm

Im sure. Man is a mercenary.
2 weeks ago he said two games in the colours of Lille then he will be playing in Blue.
1 week ago he then says he has decided and he will announce after Lilles last league match, no announcement.
Him and his agent have gone from saying its 1 team to now 3 teams he could join. Man is just getting himself a bigger pay cheque.

Hero seems to love him. From what ive seen of him is hes good, not world class like some make out to be.

Also, hes not playing in the Euros so hes awful Wink

You can't expect him to give a crap about United, City or anyone else though.

He's a professional player and he will want to get paid. It's not just him, every player probably thinks like that now, so you either have to stump up the cash or miss out I reckon.

by **Hero** Tue May 22, 2012 3:08 pm

Exactly Olly, when I'm looking for a job if I was in the lucky position that 3 or 4 companies were interested in me then I would without question play them off against one another to push my wage and benefits up.

Rooney is just a much a mercenary as shown when he threatened to quit to join City.

This is the real world, player loyalty is a dying art, if Hazard gives Utd 2-3 years before heading off to Real then so what.

Not bad, prefer darker brown but nice. Get em. Look good with the right suit. these man have no style.

Man is just getting himself a bigger pay cheque.

Which fair enough anyone would do that. But the way hes going about it.

I tell you now, as long as City dont get annoyed and pull out Eden Hazard will sign for Man City. he is using Man United and Chelsea's name and purely NAME to get himself a bigger wage from City

by FIFA Diva Tue May 22, 2012 3:12 pm

Nando love how you changed your dads age from 55 to 58 Laugh

I guess your dad has really good fashion sense anyway it's for a wedding I have to look smart.

Hero you wear jeans with elastic bands because you're a bit on the fat side. #Murked

And if you had the opportunity to do that you would be silly not to do the exact same thing! It could earn him that 30K per week extra

Go find the link Hero I wanna see this. Rooney did not say he will join Man City.

He need to become good enough first.

If Hazard was really that good why arent Barca or Real after him now???

But then you could say the same about Ronaldo. United are just a Real feeder club, like Arsenal are Man City's and Leeds are Norwich's Wink

Also Rooney said he would leave if he didn't get the money and at that point City would have offered him a RIDICULOUS wage to prize him away from United

I am slowly starting to regret selling Lucas in Week 1 of Season 1...

I would have definitely signed him back had Hero not changed the rules and said we can't buy back our old players.

Olly, I dont think any of us here in this forum will EVER be in that position. Be real, not many jobs in the world pay as much as Football players get.
Besides the point. I understand what hes doing and yes I woudl do the same.

But if there was a company I really wanted to work for who offered me 1k less a month than a company I didnt want to work for what do you think id pick?

Anyway, the main reason I dont want him is because he IS going to City. He has no intention of signing for Man United or Chelsea. His intention is to get more from City.

by **Hero** Tue May 22, 2012 3:19 pm

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1321675/Wayne-Rooney-Id-join-Manchester-City.html

There was obviously never any verified quote from Wayne, if he had publically done so then I don't think he'd have remained at the club but you've got blinkers on if you don't think he threatened it to orchestrate his payrise.

£32m for Hazard????!!!!

Madness. He is a decent player, but completely unproven outside his comfort zone, and certainly not £32m good.

Don't forget Gervinho was considered the better player for Lille season before last, and Hazard's season this year is not considered as good as the one before. Not sure you would walk over coals for someone who is slightly worse than Gervinho.

He could be a world beater, but equally, he could be a flop. There's a real risk and £32m is a lot to pay with that risk attached.

by FIFA Diva Tue May 22, 2012 3:21 pm

Which Lucas is this Marky? Congrats on the Champions League win Russ Bubbly

Do you think Terry deep down inside feels like he hasn't win the Champions League? I know Keane said it when he missed the final, if I played in a lot of the games earlier on and didn't play in the final I'd sort of feel like I didn't truley win it.

not really. It was clear his dream was to play for Real one day. It was a dream of his which he never hid that, he never disrespected MUFC, team mates or SAF.
He still speaks very highly of SAF and the club.

I suspect he probably does feel like that, it's a shame really but it was good to see Cahill and Luiz to do the job.

we'll just have to do the improbable and win it next year lol

Just saw the penalty that Dider took and it brought back all the emotion from Saturday night!

Finally, Afro is here to talk sense!!
Several of you are blinded by the hype. Afro speaks the truth!

I remember a certain ppl here who had their tounge so far up Gervinho ___ last year, hes had a magnificant season at Arsenal hasnt he.

You guys contradict yourselves. You dont rate playes in this league as the play in the French league but then you think Hazard is the best thing since sliced bread. #SortYourselvesOut

I know Keane said it when he missed the final,

Keane probably does feel liek that. For me bacame captain of all captain in the way he drove the team against Juve. He knew he was missing the final but played with such determination and passion. Best captain ever in my generation IMO

by Marky Tue May 22, 2012 3:31 pm

Still undecided about my Star Player bid.

I might have to bite the bullet and just PM it, before regretting it for the rest of the season...

Neymar will easily warrant a 32m fee if he moves, he's also proved nothing.
The fact that Chelsea, City, Utd and others are willing to pay it shows they believe him to be worth it and a player is only worth what clubs wish to put forward.
