Mole_Toonfan Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I suspect the rumours around Hazard to Barca are more about driving the price up for Madrid than any legitimate interest from Barca tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikky Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I suspect the rumours around Hazard to Barca are more about driving the price up for Madrid than any legitimate interest from Barca tbh. I agree: think he is R Madrid bound for about £170m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Ronaldo out, Hazard In is such a massive change in terms of style for the team. He and Isco together might be brilliant or terrible. Both more Barca style players imo. Although so is Modric. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Dunno about Madrid buying Hazard. He's a great player, but I look at Madrid's squad after Ronaldo leaving and "we really need to spend massively on another attacking midfielder" is not what jumps to my mind. A lot will hinge on Bale staying fit and on form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a proven goalscorer as well though. He's not as direct as Cristiano, but surely him with Bale, Benzema, Isco, Asensio and Lucas they don't get much worse. He'll score a shit load in La Liga as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chopey Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Interesting. Have a feeling Palace won't sell him this summer His agent must have told him there's an offer from someone, I hope Shelvey is not seen as his replacement not that Ashley is in full meltdown toys out of the pram mode.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 It's been a very weird window before, almost every club's transfers are either underwhelming, really risky or they've signed nobody. Probably only Liverpool who can say they've done really well so far. Should be a frantic couple of weeks, except for us of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I guess, but presumably he'll be mainly on the bench or at best on rotation. And obviously they'll probably win the league anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I thought Liverpool might have problems with ACoN but it's being held in summer next time and won't affect them. If the new lads settle, they're going to be in with a strong shout. 70M for Zaha is more than Mahrez. That strikes me as pricing him to not sell.

triggs Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Wonder who's in for Zaha, Spurs would seem likely I guess. Not sure how he'd do at a big club, think he could be suited to being a big fish in a small pond rather than just another good option Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Zaha leaving kills palace. He's like Lascelles for us in that without him they turn to complete shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Not a chance Sarri would sign Zaha, if they do sell Hazard they'll replace him from someone in Spain or Italy imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 zaha is at exactly the right place man, so obvious he should never leave there as long as they're in the PL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimburst Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Hazard is quite a bit better than he has been for Chelsea recently, IMO. Think he could step up past at least Coutinho in the Barca-Real axis of top players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 PL is going to be so uncompetitive. We had this discussion last season. Best players outside the top 6. Shaqiri - Liverpool Mahrez - City Zaha - wants to leave Then it’s a 31 year old Vardy imo. Beyond that there’s not much out there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
