It's more and more unlikely that he'll sign for us. Frankly I'm not fussed. I was saying right from morning that we shouldn't put all our eggs in one basket. There are plenty of wingers available in the world of football, many of whom are just as talented, if not better, than Hazard.Cobwebcat said:You said he had accepted a better offer from United. How are you right again? Nobody knows you included so calm down.
You said he'd done a deal with United and you were wrong.
With regards him "whoring" himself out, have you considered the fact that maybe Lille haven't decided who's offer to accept? Maybe one of United, Chelsea or us haven't bid for him yet, maybe they won't at all. Maybe he hasn't received personal terms from all the clubs yet, maybe he's genuinely undecided?
The media, and people who continue to read, quote and believe the nonsense they spout, have created this situation, not Eden Hazard, give the lad a break. Loads of journalists believed and reported that he was going to be announcing his decision tonight, can you now see that they actually 'know' nothing and just pass on information from sources they believe to be reliable but which I'd imagine most of the time aren't?
Once all the offers are on the table, once Lille have accepted any of those offers, once Hazard has been presented with personal terms and once he's made his decision we'll know. It may be next week, it may be the 30th of August, only one thing's for certain, by September 1st we'll all know where Eden Hazard will be playing football in the 2012/13 season.
Personal terms first then clubs discuss it.
The Lille president said that he's give them permission to talk to Hazard, once he's decided where he wants to go then Lille and the club he chose will discuss the transfer fee.
