He's an excellent player so i would imagine we are interested,but nothing has been confrmed.

cheers mate, certainly an interesting thought and if we could get him then wow!

If anyone thinks City will spend the type of money Chelsea want on one player well there living in cloud cuckoo land, Pep will spend no more than £100m this summer on 2 players.

Are Hazard and De Bruyne close friends? And how is their on-field chemistry for Belgium?

I agree but probably a net spend offset by sales. I reckon to first teamers and a younger player or two. 8 or 9 sales including the likes of Angelino, Mangala etc.

He'll cost too much - and he's too old for that price.

I think we dont need him to be honest great player but not a position thats needed so no thanks.

That’s the official line being spun. We’re unlikely to give potential vendors the impression that we’re minted and money’s no object.
If an opportunity arises to upgrade the squad at a good price I think Pep’s statement might easily be revised.

on the one side he is a fantastic player, one of those players that if he is available you the to go for......

on the other side, do we need him...ew have silva, KDB Bernardo sane and sterling all attacking from midfield/outwide....i suppose he would play from the left from us which gives us options with Sane.

my only worry is that he is poison in the dressing room...he has always struck me that he is capable of that....Pep talks a lot about the personality of the players, their temperament not just on the pitch but off it, their willingness to be humble and run for the team no matter who you are.....Hazard doesn't strike me as that type of person....

Did Sane track back before? Did Aguero? Did David Silva? How can you just completely disregard the changes big players have made in our team under Pep? Why is it so hard to get that Hazard is fully capable of changing once he's at City lol? You talk as if he's a player on Fifa who'll never change from what he is at Chelsea.

Mate I'm sorry but the whole reason you think Hazard will be great for us is because you think he'll be a completely different player under pep, that pep will change all the shite parts of his game. You don't buy a player because you think you can change him. Maybe if he's a reasonable price but I don't see this club blowing 150 million on a guy who has so many flaws.

Playing as a false 9 for Conte and playing as a false 9 for Pep Guardiola are different things. Strange that you are using that to judge him. Messi would struggle if he is isolated between the lines and has no passing options and receives long balls with no ball to feet.

Where was Hazard receiveing the ball? how was he receiving the ball? Was he creating overloads? Was he facing his goal or the opposition goal? Did he have players stretching the pitch horizontally for him to drive into?

How can you possibly use anything else to judge someone but their previous performance in a role?
