99% of City fans understand. We were in the 3rd division a fe wyears ago, and when we did have a very good player they would be sold.Hkibou said:allan harper said:Tbh mate I really couldn't give a fuck who leaves and who stays. If it takes you years to get over a player leaving then you should seriously think about getting a girlfriend.
You can't understand. This is incontestably the best player that has ever played in Lille. And it will most likely remain so for a long time.
You already forgot what it was like before. Our two last mercatos : we sold players for 10m and 24m the next year.
Meanwhile we recruited for 0€ and 14 millions, despite our title. Our historically most expensive transfer is Dimitri Payet for 10m euros.
Each year we are in deficit and must repay the loan for the new stadium and the high wages the club granted to convince our better players, Hazard mostly, to stay.
Our president Mr Seydoux already said than they will not spend more than half Hazard's fee to recruit new players.
PS : If in your mind you don't make the difference between the love for a a gf and the fascination for a player, sex must be really weird for you.

I have watched Hazard grow up and develop for five years now, i have followed him since his first match with the pros, because as everyone else i spotted genius in him. And he is nothing like you describe him.
Although he started very young and was very soon put a lot of pression on him (by the fans and the press), he never changed his path, and always listen to the good people and followed the wise advice. He does not have a surdimensionate ego, and i am sure he will blend perfectly in whatever team he will choose. On the field and in the group.
He is not arrogant, he has never been. He just doesn't want to speak to the press until a certain deadline. That's his decision and he has been repeating this over and over since january but the press wouldn't listen.
They keep asking him, so every time he has to use hackneyed phrases and avoid the question.
You know why he will not reveal it yet ? Out of respect for us, his supporters since the beginning, to let us the time to recover from a grief that will take years to heal.
But you wouldn't care about that, would you ? You don't even see us, sitting on your millions
wow, thats a bit dramatic, is everyone connected to lille so dramatic ??
If you talk shit about Hazard when a Lille supporter is in the room then this is what your gonna get. @Lille he has made a name for himself and has been one of their greatest player. I would even go as far as saying that he's the best player that ever put on a Lille shirt. They worship him @ Lille and have absolutely no doubt he will succeed no matter what club he goes to.
Ask any Lille supporter what they think of Hazard and they'll all say the same "A genius" He made his debut @the age of 16. Won a starting spot @ the age of 17 and in those 4 seasons that he played he won the most talented player of the year twice in a row and won the best player of the year twice in a row aswell. He lead them to the titel (had been over 50 years) and cup. He topped it off this season by pulling Lille to a third place and CL football.(20 goals and 16 assists) involved in over over 50 % of all their goals.
This season he was the only player who stayed while the whole world thought he would leave. He extended his contract last season giving Lille a stronger bargaining position. He could have easily just said fuck you to all the fans and club and let his contract run out. (if he didn't sign a new extensionhe would have had only only 1 year left on his contract and could have gone on the cheap and ask for bigger wages but he didn't.
Also people saying he's being disrespectfull to his team. It's actually the opposite he's just being 100% honest with them. Put yourself in Lille supporters shoes. Would you prefere 1 of your players keeping you on a leash constantly saying i might stay, i might stay, i might stay and then @ the end go oh yeah i'm leaving. Hazard is already a legend @ Lille.
pudge said:yes I do realise that, my point is 3 months isn't really "soon"putijean said:pudge said:From February....
you do realize that when he said "this will happen soon" he was talking about signing with "a" club and not talking about signing with Tottenham.
That just appears to be his go to line "it will happen soon" and by that he means "as long as I can drag it out/get more money/keep my name in the papers"
How about we do that thing where we let the manager who just took us to our first title in 44 years decide who he wants and who he doesn't?coulsonblue said:I'd rather not sign him now. We want people with attitudes like Kompany not a prima donna
