- Matt:

faithful to the shirt

players like - kagawa rodriguez and cissokho who all confirmed they would love to join OT and hazard is flirting with all top teams is this what u mean ?

We can offer a lot that city can't 1. Sir Alex ferguson 2.some form of trophy every season basically guaranteed 3. A team of players not individuals 4. A space where he could play not warm te bench like at city 5. History 6. Did I mention SAF? If we want him we can get him simple as

I think you missed of the fact that we have SAF fella.

To me this is all worth so much more than the money the scum would offer, because lets face it we aren't exactly going to be paying him in peanuts are we lol!

matt sleet:

I can see us signing kagawa, who would also be a great signing but not quite as good as hazard would be

Don't underestimate Kagawa. I think has just as much potential than Hazard, but they're a bit different in style (And I am Belgian, so no biased here). What i am sure about though, is that any of them will cause some serious trouble to BPL defences or in Europe.

Kagawa imo is better suited to our style, and most importantly to our team philosophy. Hazard is more of an individual talent, who would probably become Ronaldo-like attitude wise. Not that I would be bothered of course if he is that special, but Kagawa gives you some valuable guarantees in terms of team ethics, and I just think he can offer just as much in terms of "magic", "penetration", great goals, etc.

I agree with everything said here. Hope we sign him would be an excellent signing.

man.utd17:

a holding/defensive CM ball-winner = JAVI MARTINEZ 8 (can play CB also) £20-30m - a creative attacking midfielder playmaker/winger = EDEN HAZARD 7 (can play CAM/SS/ST also) £25-35m

Martinez has a buyout clause of £32 million

and Hazard has a buyout clause of £35 million

true past glory is our major pull, but dont forget the things that would detract from city, fall-outs with the manager, in-fighting between players, acrobating off the pitch, plus the fact that the league is not over yet. my main concern about city getting involved would be that they have kompany, a fellow countryman and influential leader.

I think he will end up at city and complete there midfield. Now tevez looks like he is staying, they will prob sell dzeko to bring in part of the funds. a midfield of silva, toure, de jong, hazard is possibly the best in europe I hope hazard thinks with his head rather than his wallet and picks us, although I dont think he will. I can see us signing kagawa, who would also be a great signing but not quite as good as hazard would be

I hope we get hazard I think he shows more talent than ronaldo did at his age (not saying he will end up better) I would also sell nani because I just don't think he's consistent enough, don't get me wrong on his day he's one of the best there is but that day is only 3 times a season and if someone offers over 30m I would take it I would also like to see kagawa he's out of contract next summer so I think we could get him for around 15m and he could give us that creativity we have been lacking a quick holding midfielder is also a must we see modric play a similar role for spurs be he would be very pricey so I would go for m'villa we could get him for around 20m (not the 50m for modric) and I think he's only 20-21 basically a lot of signings to give us a bit more of a solid midfield while adding a lot of pace (what berbas agent said we are trying to do)

I really think City will get him, we might end up getting gaitan, and hoping year after year he will improve, City they are ambitious, all players they buy Toure, augero, silva,nasri even mario are players with lots of potential and players who can change a game, not like our signings Owen, bebe, diouf, Obertan. They always go for players that Madrid or Barca would have, last year they fought untill last minute for Sanchez. We always make excuses no value for money, there is no good players in the market, developing youth ( while playing Giggs , scholes, park, carrick, berba, Owen , Ferdinand) and in the end buy average players like Young, or flops like bebe. Yesterday we got the kick in our Ass for not spending wisely for creative and defensive midfielder, even somehow we manage to win the trophy, we can be assure that City will haunt us if we don't develop good youth, and buy wisely. This summer stop bull shitting and buy but not for the sake of buying like jack rodwells and gaitans, but pure talents like kagwa, hazard, Martinez and alba.

United have not got to let the grass grow under there feet on the hazzard situation they should start gettng talks between him and his club now before those big headed spenders step in

Well, with a large majority of our past "targets" there wasn't really much evidence that there was any interest. In this case though, there really is serious interest. I would hate to see a real target this time slip through our fingers, PARTICULARLY to our biggest rivals, and PARTICULARLY considering the huge talent he has.

im hoping he will come to United this summer, he must know he is the most talented youngster in the world right now, he is a player that will actually take on a few opposition players as well, something we have lacked since the departure of cristiano, hazard is a must buy.

But like someone else mentioned, Lille could accept our bid and then City could come in with a higher bid (also accepted). However Hazard could reject City and just talk to us assuming he wants to come to us regardless of wages? Let's be honest, he knows he won't be earning peanuts with us (this is assuming he prefers us as a club).

Lille will respect his wishes and accept their value, we can offer reasonable wages, City can offer stupid wages but its up to him where he wants to go. I think other aspects will come into play than the money and it depends on what he feels suits him best or what type of person he is.

There is nothing we can offer Hazard that....erh...City can offer, beside past glory. I will laugh if he chooses us over them, and maybe will look at him differently. But undoubtly, he fits the characteristic of a mercenary.

so if tomorrow he signs for city, it means he is a mercenary? we wont even KNOW if we will have a bid and IF we match city's bid and salary. if city signs him, it will simply mean he wasnt our priority OR we couldnt match what city offered.
