Any body got any info on thorgan hazard? Is their a buy back? Or any interest? From us?
1.) 02 Nov 2016 21:25:19
From what I can tell there is a bit back clause, we are keen but he is less keen.
12 Aug 2016 09:53:55
Fabregas to jive thus I hope not!
1.) 12 Aug 2016 10:21:11
Football Italia are the same people who said Pogba was going to Barcelona and created the Zaza Matic swap nonsense. Just ignore them.
2.) 12 Aug 2016 12:06:25
I wouldn't mind actually if the price was okay. Very good player, and he would help us defeat the "smaller" sides that would just sit back. But against better teams he gets man marked out of the game too easily. He needs time and space to be really effective, and most of the time he won't get that with us.
3.) 12 Aug 2016 12:17:29
Or maybe he just needs the right balancebehind hi. To have that space. As far as I can see we need a passer from midfield to top. With out that were just that direct team.
4.) 12 Aug 2016 14:48:06
It's a step back if we sell cesc, Oscar is the midfielder we should look to move on if any. Cesc is top quality, you just need to build around him to get the best out of him. A midfield 3 of cesc, kante and a return to form matic would be good enough for me. I think a top quality centre back is a huge must ASAP.
5.) 12 Aug 2016 21:30:52
Sell Cesc, one of our best players? The naivety amongst one or two on here knows no bounds.
6.) 14 Aug 2016 00:50:05
Haven't you guys actually watched Cesc in matches? Yes, his passing can be majestic, but he loses possession just in front of our back four too many times. In the pre-season warm-up games, his startling inability to withstand being closed down, and maintain possession, nearly cost us a goal on several occasions. Meanwhile, Oscar has shown evidence that he his starting to regain his form - his work rate is 100% better than Cesc, he doesn't lose the ball that often (and when he does, he tries hard to win it back), his passing, although not as clinical as Cesc, is good, and he is far more aware of goalscoring opportunities. Give me Oscar over Cesc any day of the week.
7.) 14 Aug 2016 08:50:35
Oscar loses ball all the time. We have Kanye to cover cescs ground now. If we don't have cesc we have no link to forward players. Well go back to a midfield that doesn't create move forward. Be back to that passing back to defenders, then goal keeper, then hoof the ball up field because kante, matic, mikel don't know what to do with it.

So James wanted by Madrid, what's the Ed's thoughts and everyone else on here think on his injuries, of the last couple seasons. is he one of those players to be plagued the rest of his career?
I like gusto I think he's a great right back but James is better for sure.
1.) 08 Sep 2023 17:56:38
Te thing is he might grow out of these injuries he is having and that would mean we would have let a world class right back go to Real Madrid
I certainly would not sell him for the figures mentioned.
2.) 08 Sep 2023 19:31:29
I posted a few weeks ago that our club is a business. Players will come and go. I would be disappointed to see James leave but these things happen!
3.) 08 Sep 2023 20:36:57
If he leaves Tom It has to be for a large fee, 60 mil fixed with add ons won't cut it.
4.) 08 Sep 2023 21:27:53
Bill, I hope he plays for us for many years to come but I’m struggling with getting to attached to any player at the moment.
5.) 08 Sep 2023 21:34:02
Bill, if you were a club interested in buying James, wouldn’t you be worried about his frequent injuries?
6.) 08 Sep 2023 22:13:31
Agree Jimbo but it then begs the question why would they want to buy him bearing in mind his injury record.
If Reece can overcome his injuries, which right back in the world is better than Reece? .
This is the reason I believe a fixed fee of £60mil plus add ones of a further £20mil is no where near enough.
7.) 09 Sep 2023 01:35:32
James is chelsea. He won't be leaving.
8.) 09 Sep 2023 05:35:51
Standard, I used to think like that about certain players but I’m struggling with that sentiment at the moment.
9.) 09 Sep 2023 08:08:53
This is old news! Pretty sure Madrid have had a declared interest in Reece James for a couple of years now.
10.) 09 Sep 2023 10:25:02
They have, before he was untouchable but as Tom said with the new ownership, who knows.
11.) 09 Sep 2023 10:38:05
It's always difficult to have such player as good as James that goes missing often through injury. Felt that bad for pulisic whom I had wanted for us to give little more time to overgrow his which to me looked likely. If we're to sell get a huge fee from Madrid not with the impression he's injury prone but for his quality. I will be happy to keep him expecting he overcome it if not for huge fee.
12.) 10 Sep 2023 00:11:13
Thing is bill, even at £60m it’s a record for a FB, (unless you count Gvardiol, who I thought was more CB) I wouldn’t want to sell James but ed001 had a convo before and was saying he might grow out of it or might be better suited (physically eg not get injured as much) at CB or CM.
If he can grow out of his injuries obvs keep, but then again, we had Kante; one of the best DM/ CM’s, and yet he played 10 games/ season for the last 2 years he was with us. If we’d sold him 2 years ago for 80m people would have been crying, but we let him go for free this summer. Hindsight is a man’s best friend, I think we keep James for another year at least, but if next summer RM offer 60m+ and he’s not been injury free then we got to take it imo.
13.) 10 Sep 2023 14:31:04
James is how old now? These injuries I don’t think are going away. I think he’s past that part of his career. Great shame. Too many too often.
02 Sep 2023 10:01:21
Would anyone else go get Eden hazard back for a season?
1.) 02 Sep 2023 10:38:36
I definately would.
2.) 02 Sep 2023 11:34:01
Absolutely NOT.
3.) 02 Sep 2023 12:21:10
For a training cone, possibly. Does he even have legs any more?
4.) 02 Sep 2023 13:40:14
No. Next question?
5.) 02 Sep 2023 15:24:37
Why would be my question.
6.) 02 Sep 2023 15:34:59
We don't seem to have smart recruitment team anymore. Been saying that we should replace sterling with hazard since last season as even a 60 percent fit hazard is better than sterling. At worst he will be on the same wage. I don't get get carried away by Sterling one match good performance that some biased journos abd fans are already saying he's the leader of the team just by his performance against Luton Town is probably the worst team in the epl now.
I still think we have a good squad but hate the affinity for only young an unproven players. Wenger tried this model and he became a perennial loser until he left.
7.) 02 Sep 2023 16:53:43
He’d probs be better than this new shiny attack we have…billion spent same all issues…shocking.
8.) 03 Sep 2023 14:13:59
Hazard has left the room and probably competitive football at the highest level for good. Let’s just try and get over it.
31 Aug 2017 22:25:03
What's just happened to Ross Barkley? Eds any insides to it that you know of? lol.
1.) 31 Aug 2017 23:13:45
Out till at least December. Available in January at a lower fee meaning a higher signing fee for both him and his agent. Makes sense for everyone, except Everton, to wait till January.
31 Aug 2017 22:48:36
Barkley situation strange. Fee agreed, personal terms agreed, having medical, changes his mind. Wants to wait till January to evaluate his decisions then. So in other words someone rang his agent saying don't sign we will buy you in January. Shame.
1.) 31 Aug 2017 23:02:55
Or he failed his medical.
2.) 31 Aug 2017 23:20:17
No. The player is clearly crocked on a serious level. The Everton owners are also baffled. They don't want him and were happy to sell him to Chelsea for 35m. He failed the medical and the rest is his agent spin in an attempt to preserve his value in January. Ed's am I wrong? A player doesn't agree personal terms, travel across the country, strap on some running shorts and THEN do a u-turn once they get upon a treadmill.
{Ed018's Note - it's certainly bizarre and I'm interested in seeing if there's more to the story}
3.) 01 Sep 2017 02:01:02
J's point in the above post makes a lot of sense too. A lower fee likely will equal a bigger signing on bonus and if he waits the whole year, im sure it'll be almost double.
4.) 01 Sep 2017 09:52:33
More than likely it seemed he wanted spurs all summer anyway.
15 Aug 2017 09:47:57
Some of out on loan players did well the week end. Loftus cheek really got in to his game. zouma solid apart from one mistake. Abraham was a handful.
1.) 15 Aug 2017 13:49:51
RLC was really really good. Excellent PL debut for Palace, and he was easily Palace's best player on the day.
Zouma apparently got Stoke's man of the match, so that's positive as well. Early signs looking good.
14 Apr 2024 18:02:03
He xx should be starting ahead if Gallagher for me.
23 Jan 2024 22:18:10
I think a loan would be great for him in the prem. and for us. See if he really can do it.
18 Jan 2024 16:10:30
Sterling should be sold end of season.
20 Dec 2023 10:03:44
I’d get rid of sterling after this season.
14 Dec 2023 19:17:26
Exactly why play pre season e witch one formation, then change.
16 Apr 2024 19:47:09
I think we could win 5-6 out of the last 7 games.
08 Apr 2024 07:33:59
Jackson should be dropped aswell, play mudryk up too, Gallagher too for carney chuekmeka.
05 Apr 2024 14:30:04
It’s time to ditch Jackson and play mudryk up top.
12 Mar 2024 06:49:10
Mudryk is brilliant in the middle. I don't know why poch keeps giving him warnings after plays in the media room after games.
27 Feb 2024 15:25:26
I’ve always said it should be ex players of the teams playing.
