Plenty of this matters,


If someone offers you £60K* a week and UCL football and another team offer you £90K* a week without who are you going to join?

Especially if the team without UCL football will be fighting and very likely get it the next season.


* Figures are total guess work, should City/Utd/Spurs/Arsenal come in they'll offer more then the basic £60K a week I mentioned, but my point is valid I feel.

You join Real Madrid for 120k per week

Wait till you see how well he does there , I know were playing a lot better now but it was a shame things did not work out for AVB at the club , I still say he was the master of his own downfall ,

Firstly got the media offside fairly lively ,

Secondly he should not of given some of this team a season to prove themselves as it ultimately cost him his job , I can guarantee that if he had of shipped out 3 or 4 of the older guard at the beginning of the season he would still be in a job

RDM has basically gone back to basics and got the team together again.
It's worked and it's given him a right shot at getting a contract.
TBH he should never have been sacked by West Brom IMO

Speculative figures my friend

I'm sure Man City or Barca could easily beat us for wages if pushed came to shove.

Sure isnt Messi on close to €275K a week or is my source way off?

Well if Torres is on 200k per week I think Messi deserves 275k

I don't think City will go for Hazard unless it's just to piss others off.
I don't think Hazard would go to City either as he's said already he wants to play.
I'd say Barca won't pay the transfer fee but who knows.

IMO it will be between Chelsea, Man United, Arsenal and Real Madrid

Not arguing what Messi earns at all, I think he deserves MOAR!! :pac:

In fairness I agree with ya, City wouldnt have much use for him unless they ship a couple of players out.

Arsenal would defiently be interested if the price was right but if ourselves, Utd and Real Madrid come in, unless he wants to go to Arsenal then he'll get a better financial package elsewhere.

It could end up like the Mata deal when we basically were able to trump Arsenal to his signature.

If he decides to go to Real, I'l happily take Di Maria, sure we could always do with another guy that goes down easily. :pac:

what a day

Im with you Gav, my number one target would be Hazard. If we dont get Hazard im sure he will go to Madrid and then we go all out for Di Maria.
Im sure we have a better chance then Utd at his signature having already signed some of the best Belgian players.

We still need to sign at least one other winger, a creative midfielder and a right back. Im getting sick of Sturridge lately but i think he could benifit from playing as our CF/ST. He is capable of doing a job as a right forward but he is way too selfish and plays for himself.

I wouldnt be to sure of that, Courtois and De Bruyne are on loan and Lukaku hasnt had a sniff at the 1st team, they could easily say to Hazard that at the moment it isnt right to join Chelsea but it all depends what the manager says to him to persuade him to come here if any deal does come about.

Edit : We do need Hazard though. :pac:

what a day

Hazard is way ahead of the others ability wise and would be part of our starting 11. Lukaku is too young and has Drogba and Torres in his way. De Bruyne was part of the deal when we signed him, but to be fair De Bryune is not an out and out winger if you ask me. He would be more of a left/center mid.

Hazard wont have any one in front of him if he chose us...other than Kalou

If he chose Utd he will be up against Valencia Nani and Young.
If he chose Madrid he will be up against Ronaldo and Di Maria.

Easy choice if you ask me :P

He'd be playing in the midfield for Utd. if he signs for them, where he'd almost certainly be in the starting 11.

Agreed he'd definitely make the starting 11 most weeks at Man United but I don't think it would be in the midfield

Get Stevan Jovetić

what a day

Ah no way, id prefere Hazard out wide and up front. His speed and skill would be wasted in midfield. He would prefer to play for Chelsea as a forward/winger.............i would any way.

Still think de Bruyne, Lukaku and Courtois will have an influence on his final decision. plus playing as an attacker with more wages or playing as a midfielder with Utd. Hazard could be a star at Chelsea but would not shine so bright having to out shine Rooney..............i hope.

Quote
Today French newspaper La Voix Du Nord reported on their website that French Champions Lille had approached Chelsea discussing the possibility of young Belgian winger Kevin De Bruyne moving to northern France next season.

The proposed move makes sense for both club and player – De Bruyne would gain valuable experience in one of Europe’s top leagues and would possibly play in Lille’s Champions League fixtures next season – but could have larger implications regarding their own Belgian winger. It has been well documented that the 21-year old will be leaving Ligue 1 this summer with the Premier League his preferred destination. With at least four or five English clubs ready to bid for the young star, using De Bruyne as leverage could be to Chelsea’s advantage.

In recent weeks both Alex Ferguson and Roberto Mancini have been to France to observe the forward in person, but Chelsea’s interest is also well known after reports they were close to a deal in January. Although the move never looked likely during the current season, Chelsea’s desire to bring France’s player of the season to Stamford Bridge was clear to see.

Any move from Lille for De Bruyne would surely include a deal seeing Hazard make the journey across the channel and see Chelsea beat both Manchester United, Manchester City and London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham for the coveted Belgian’s signature.

There is a long way to go before the transfer window opens, all the interested parties will have their say in where Hazard’s end up next season, but this is a very interesting development that puts Chelsea ahead of the chasing pack.

Sorry, I meant more up front as a forward, similar role to the one Rooney is playing at the moment, with a lot of licence to drift out wide. He'd get a fair few games on the wings too.

I'd agree with that. He's very versatile

They love wingers at Utd.

Hazard has made it clear, he will only sign for a club that is competing for all honours, where he gets game time and in a young team that is pretty much built around him!
He knows there will be plenty of cash wherever he goes

Regardless of tonight's result, JT has just checked out of top level football. There's still life in some of the older players. Cech, Cole and Lampard can still contribute. JT has too many flaws and it's time to move on. RA has to step in and swing the lead.

Fair fúcks lads - deserved it in the end.

Great performance from Chelsea

Giggsy11

Congrats to Chelsea, fantastic performance and even more so in the second half when they were down to 10 men. Just a shame that players who fought every sec of 180 mins will miss the finals.

Grant got Chelsea to a penalty kick of winning the champions league and pushed United hard for the title. He was booted out the door once the season was done.

So happy for Torres. As bitter as I was when he left Liverpool, he's got some stick and I hope he can go on now with confidence and be the player he is.

Unfuckingbelievable.

Well done lads carefree and never ever give up. We jave about 5 missing the final but you never know.

Blue is the colour!!!!

Guts and effort won that.
Great finish by Torres.
Rode their luck only a small bit IMO.
Cech didn't really have as many saves to make as you'd think but he was brilliant when called on.
Ivanovic was brilliant again IMO
