Has Lille played yet?
Btw, who says L'Equippe are reliable? Is it a quote or pure speculation?

Go to City...please Eden
Well, Latin players generally tend to be among the best in Europe... we don't really sign Germans but they hardly matter as for most of them Bayern are the pinnacle, for obvious reasons. With Dutch players it's 50-50, La Liga isn't much bigger (if at all) than the Premier League there.
Portuguese, French and - obviously - Spanish players, however, are always more likely to favour Barcelona or Madrid over us. The weather's better, the whole culture suits them more and these clubs pay better, too.
Agreed.
I'd say it's 50/50 for players from Belgium. United/Liverpool are much bigger than Madrid/Barca in Scandinavia.
I go out for a few hours and all you miserable sods have gone all negative again.

The first sentence says he'll announce his decision tomorrow. No quotes though. L'Equipe is the biggest sports paper in France but I don't know how reliable they are.
Game starts at 8pm.
Today, surprised Uefa allowed it with the Champions League final.
8pm tomorrow 
not going to be played at the same time as the final is it haha.
not going to be played at the same time as the final is it haha.They play tomorrow you imbeciles.
Geez, it's guys like you that gives transfer muppets a bad name.
L'Equipe says he's going to Chelsea
Wouldn't be utterly unthinkable, seeing as he's always said he wants a secure spot in the starting 11

That means we have all day tomorrow to come into this thread, spunk ourselves silly, get negative for a bit, turn it back around and jizz ourselves with positivity and then get all down and depressed again, should be a fun day.
I wish he'd just feck off now the tedious cnut.
Shame that Scandinavia produce nowhere near as many quality players as Portugal or France. Oh well.
8pm tomorrow
hence why I asked the question and put big eyes
He would go there even if Chelsea ends up tonight with no CL?
Honestly, I can't see Man Utd being his destination. And if anything it's not that bad for us because we're ok on the wings.
For me the priority needs to be at least one central midfielder and two full-backs
According to L'Equipe it would make no difference
L'Equipe is generally reliable but they've had their share of feck-ups through the years. I remember the headline "except for a thunderbolt, Ronaldinho will be a Man Utd player next week" days before he signed for Barcelona

8pm tonight? They play during the CL final?
bloody french indeedTotally disagree regarding full-backs, not a priority at all.
Evra gets injured next season, what do we do?
Phil Jones and Smalling are excellent players so they can play right-back, but if we want them to be world class at that position we need to give them a solid run of games there rather than rotating. Which isn't going to happen and would be a waste considering their ability down the middle
Lawman, those dudes run on train tracks. They were a part of my Hernandez, W Keane, Young and Valencia 4-4-2 easy home game plan.
I'm still a huge Rafael fan. A couple of lapse moments for a young defender doesn't make him a bad player, Evans had it last year (much worse), Jones and Smalling have both had a lapse or 2 this season. Rafael will be a superb RB. Evans and Rafael can both fill in at LB.
I don't see full-backs as a priority, CM is priority.
Sorry but my expectations of a Manchester United left-back are higher than Rafael or Evans filling in.
We better go for that top LB talent this summer because this issue will be pressing many clubs soon - Barcelona left without Abidal, Real Madrid disappointed with Coentrao, Chelsea over with A. Cole etc
Evra will be playing.
Why buy a top-drawer LB when we have Evra now, 2 players more than capable of filling in (O'Shea did this for YEARS) and Fabio will have had a full season at a good club?
Depending on Fabio's loan, next summer may be the time to call LB a priority.
But why two full-backs? We need a left-back but only after signing two central midfielders. Which we won't though, obviously.
The last matchday in France is tomorrow.
as in I was asking in response to the quoted post.
I expect him to announce his desire to play in England, grin, wink then dance off into the distance, leaving the reporters as perplexed as ever. Though they may comment on the fact he picked his arse, indicating he'd like to goto the turd that is Citeh #mufc #mcfc #HSBC #MTV

Then you'd be wrong.
Did Hazard definitely say he's moving to Manchester? If he wants guaranteed games he should be looking at Spurs, Chelsea or Arsenal. Could be something in this Chelsea talk.
He defiantly said Manchester.
There did seem a bit of anger in his voice.
Here's the translation from the L'Equipe article. It's just another 'if we mention every possible transfer destination, then we can later claim we were right all along' routine:
well if he had chose us, we would have told him to be quiet, looks like we're getting played to get City and Chelsea into a bidding war.
I didn't ever think he was coming so I'm not blaming thing for anything. He just seems like a cocky cnut who loves everyone hanging on his every word.
