[Heart.net]

Tolmie has posted on the quiet thread to keep the faith on hazard,rvp and javi Martinez so I will keep the faith

Could we let Nasri go to United and bring in Hazard instead? I know who i'd rather have....................

A prove premier league player who has just found his feet in our team, fits in with our system, is playing really well for us, gets on well with the rest of our lads and has a great attitude.
or
Someone who's been decent in a shit league, completely unproven and without a doubt a massive risk at his price tag.

I know who I'd rather have too.

 

[SWP's back]

these stories have come from most reliable source so far, and the thing that concerns me is that they mention we have pulled out of the race, which is exactly how I thought it might play out, rather than wait on him to announce going somewhere else

same as kaka and sanchez transfers

still only stories though, even if his agent is meeting cfc, it doesn't mean his mind is made up

When we have pulled out in the past, we have made a statememnt as such.

 

[Rammyblues]

Just another week of waiting.

 

[allan harper]

On a more happier note my Rhinos mate as just phoned me from the Etihad going mental that their paying £4 for a pint and £4 for pie.

 

[Marvin]

Just another week of waiting.

Nothing compared to the Kaka, Nasri, tevez sagas of the past.

 

[Shuffs]

L'equipe are reporting that it's just between Chelsea and the others.

"conditionally"

 

[Neville Kneville]

There is absolutely no good reason for Hazard to go to Chelsea unless they have convinced him they are getting Pep Guardiola or similar & several top class players.

They'll need that just to finish in the top 4.

Don't rule out the Guardiola bit for one minute, they're all over him at the moment, trying to change his mind about having a break.

He's the man they want and they're prepared to rip up trees to get him

Not ruling him out, that's why I said it ;)

Mancini quite publicly said "it's over" in Sanchez saga

You could see Ferguson switching to a 4-2-3-1? Along with Chelseas unnamed tacticless manager?

Doubtful. I don't think people realize how much the media is playin into Hazards mind games. We often blame agents and players for stroking the flames but this would be a lot easier if the fans just took the player for his word. It's not like Hazard dispelling his every notion to the media, and if he did it's not like his agents would be truthful.

It seems smart to me for a player to say hes going to United to grab more money from City's grasp. It also seems smart to include a tertiary buyer so the clubs know if thy both stand firm neither will get him.

Just wait and see. No matter where he goes he will get 35 total games at least in his preferred position. He will play in whatever free role best suits him as Nasri/Silva and even Milner have in the past.

Yes, that's a fair point about them changing their formations - but they haven't had the personnel to do it in the past, plus the 4-2-3-1 formation is proving to be the best.
Strangely, it was a formation invented, i believe, by Brazil.
Perhaps Fergie now thinks wingers makes his side too vulnerable? Certainly, the excellent performance of Young in that role worked for England last night.

I'm not sure about the agents 'trying it on' by offering their man to the highest bidder either - a very risky game to play IF he, hazard, had already made up his mind which he wanted to pick.

It may also come down to Manager's - or lack of them. Given that Chelsea don't have one and United probably wont after next Season. That sort of impending insecurity would play on a youngster's mind too I suppose.

Our apparent interest in Hazard and Kagawa would indicate that we're changing formation next season. Most likely for big games and in Europe, can still see 4-4-2 being used at OT against weaker sides.

He'll probably play him with Rooney in the same formations he uses now, 4-4-2 or 4-5-1, as Wellbeck & Little P are shit & he knows it.
