The narrative is now being painted in its usual form when we try to sign anyone of note.
Blues need to keep their powder dry the next few days, reading and listening the usual spoon-fed crap.
I genuinely believe United are not in the current equation, and dropped out weeks back.
I base that on David Gill's recent comments about history over cash, our courting of Hazard.
The stakes are such, United cannot even afford to take it very far. The fee is huge and wages are way beyond anything barring Rooney.
Hazard wants a quick conclusion, I don't think United can clear the dead wood in time to even justify a tangible offer.
Chelsea may have come late to the party, but I'm pretty relaxed. The agent is being a clown but so was Nasri's.
United won't pay the agent fees, Chelsea have plenty of ongoing issues to resolve.
We are Premier League champions and Bobby is coming back today to finish the job.
Have a little faith in our guys.
