Eden Hazard

Would Arsenal want him? They have some quality young players out wide at the moment... When was the last time Arsene shelled out big dollars.... Arshavin and it was less than that and he has been sensational at times for them. I can't see him spending 20 mil on Hazard...

They need defenders, not more attacking players IMO

And a first class goalkeeper

Well that too but their defence sucks big time. A keeper shouldn't have to do as much work as that.

Lille winger Eden Hazard open to Liverpool FC move after Chelsea snub
by Richard Buxton. Published Fri 17 Dec 2010 11:22

Eden Hazard has revealed that he would be open to a move to Liverpool after snubbing a summer switch to Chelsea.

Arsenal are currently in the hunt for the highly-rated Belgian winger, 19, as are Real Madrid following recommendations from club legend Zinedine Zidane.

But a move to the Bernabeu looks to be off the cards after Hazard admitted that he would not leave Lille for a club where his development would be hindered by a lack of opportunities.

Roy Hodgson saw Hazard in action on a recent scouting trip to France and he admits that he would not oppose a move to Anfield despite the Emirates being his perferred choice due to the increased opportunities for players to make their mark at senior level.

"I could have gone [to Chelsea] last June, but I was not ready to make that big leap," said Hazard.

"Recently, the press have been writing about interest from Liverpool, and it is nice to hear your name being mentioned everywhere, especially with the best teams in the world.

"If I do leave at the end of the season, I don't want to go somewhere I will be on the bench, and it will be difficult to break through in a team like Real, where Ronaldo and Kaka will be my competitors.

"But there are teams like Arsenal, where youngsters can grow more easily into the first team and make their mark.

"I will not leave for another French club because, with 100 matches under my belt for Lille, I don't think I have to prove my qualities for a team in the same league."

Liverpool lost out to Arsenal in their pursuit of former Bordeaux striker Marouane Chamakh, who signed for Arsene Wenger on a free transfer at the end of last season.

looked all over for the word liverpool or anfield, but what this is, is--in fact--not great journalism.

Based on that, he'd choose Arsenal over us, not that I would blame him.

Will wait and see if this all talk or a ploy to get huge money from Chelsea/Real. Kudos to him if he comes to us or Arsenal to further his playing career.

ah right. i made the mistake of only looking in the meaningful sentences.

That bit where he mentions Liverpool, was the only meaningful sentence in the whole piece.

[Fernandinho]

An article with the exact same quotes linking him to Arsenal not us. Its the media.

And he's probably covering his bases, a nice quote here and there about the sides he'd be most likley to join, or that have shown interest.

Leave Token alone. :nono:

Does not compute

I'm hoping he's one of the intelligent breed that can see we are the fallen Jedi, lying low and waiting to make our move. Certain players may see this coming and want to be a part of it while they can (fingers crossed).

DoFs, CEOs, young talented upcoming managers, money to spend (albeit not ridiculous) in transfers, history. All of these tickboxes apply to us.

And we're doing a good job hiding it all behind Jabba.
