Eden Hazard

[JoeMercer'sWay]

I still believe Shaqiri from Basel would be a better and cheaper option for us.
Hazard is already a star, and would find it hard too accept a rotation system, he would have a big price tag on him and on extremly high wages compared too his abilities and experience.

Shaqiri´s attributes fits better for BPL. He is young, tricky, fast, leadershit abilities and still got experience on international level( national team and Champions league)

+ HE TRACKS BACK!!!

Can't argue with that. I think he's physically more suited to the PL than Hazard, quite a tank.

Also it's worth noting that although Hazard has spent most of his career playing wide left/right he isn't really a traditional winger. As I said earlier, he's much more of a playmaker ala Silva/Nasri. I agree that what I've seen of Shaqiri he looks to be quite some player and is much more of a traditional winger. Hasn't he just moved to Turkey though?

not that I know of from doing the transfer update thread...why would he when Basel are in the knockout stages of the CL?

I just checked and you're right. I must've dreamt it!

Moussa Sow of Lille went to Fenerbahce...if that helps...

Could've been although I'm not convinced because I don't rate Sow that highly and whoever it was who moved to Turkey had me thinking "hmm, strange move for such a good player". But as I said, maybe I did dream the entire episode...

I'd love Shaqiri in our squad. He is head and shoulders a much much better player than AJ on pretty much every level!

You probably meant Galatasaray but they bid 8m but they wanted 12m.

Aha! So I didn't dream the link between him and a Turkish club! Cheers mate...

I would be gutted if we went for Hazard for 30-35M instead of going for Shaqiri for 10M.

Yeah well me too... in a way. I wouldn't mind seeing him pose for Sharon holding his City shirt, but the cost would be silly. For roughly the same amount we could probably get Shaqiri, Cerci and Vertonghen.

If we're going to spend more than 30 million on a winger we may aswell get bale who is prem proven.

 

[superstevieg]

lets hope we don't pay over the odds for him. surely not 30m
