I don't think Fergie would fly to France just to see a RB. If however he was planning a massive investment in a player like Hazard, I wouldn't put it past him to watch him in action before greenlighting a big transfer fee.

Ofcourse he would. He watches pretty much every signing even going and watching reserve games abroad. Fergie is famously extremely thorough with his scouting. Be it a 17 year old player for the youth team or a 30 million world class player. If its a young player he'll even make it a point to meet his parents to see what kind of background the boy comes from etc. and what sort of man he'll become.
Except for the time he signed Bebe ofcourse.

Not in every instance. Our more recent signings have been completely under the radar, so there's nothing to suggest we would change that sort of discretion unless a large of sum of money was involved.

The Bebe signing is a story that's crying out to be told.
In case you never knew, I would love that we sign him.
I warn you all already, I will be a transfer muppet this summer and be advocating his transfer every moment I can!

Mancini smiles in the stands as Hazard makes it 1-0 to Lille with a cool, side-footed finish.
He flew to Moscow just to watch Vidic, can't see any reason why he wouldn't do the same here.
I reckon the basis is us being in Jorge Mendes' pocket and buying Bebe being a way to cement a relationship. There are other blanks to be filled in but our relationship with Mendes really worries me.
I reckon it was down as some sort of down payment to gain some advantage over young talents which are Mendes' clients like Iturbe and also possibly to ensure that Mourinho becomes our next manager.
I don't like criticising Fergie but think it's hypocritical to say that agents are ruining the game and then get into a agreement like this.
That's where football is heading though. Modric, Ander, Martinez etc are all around the 30-40m mark. However I believe that we need 2 CM rather then one. Hence why I think we'll need 40m to sort CM out.
Seconded
The twins are made of glass and Valencia is a winger.
I reckon that's the most worrisome interpretation. Fergie having a moment of senile dementia is the optimistic scenario.
Mendes an Kenyon are in cahoots and are trying to become the largest agents business in the football world, including third party ownrship ala Jorabochim or whatever he is called.
Hazard adds a second assist to go with his earlier goal.
It's pretty obvious from his performances this and last week that he prefers Man City to Man Utd.

We'll go for Gaitan probably as he is one of Mendes' clients.
How did you get to that conclusion?!
Mancini is at the game watching Hazard?
Mancini and Platt were both there; the French director made sure to cut to them every five minutes or so.
I'm guessing Hazard played well when City were watching him, but not as well when we were there last week.
And he flew to Rome to watch Nesta.
Back to Hazard, it seems like a rerun of Jones where all the top English clubs are queueing up for him.
If City are interested then basically its going to be hard to get Hazard if indeed Fergie was even watching him. Debuchy does sound more like a realistic target for us but I suppose he could have been there to watch both players.
Debuchy would be a good signing IMO......
Good play, not what we need.
Not necessarily, i have a feeling that we already have a deal in place for Gaitan, so unless we go for both I can't see us getting Hazard.
We'll sign gaitan not hazard. Looks like safs little trip has drawn Mancini out though. City make an early move for hazard then it makes it easier for us to move for other targets, there will be plenty around this summer and city can't sign them all, there'll be plenty of value in the market and I'd expect 3 top signings (if not 4).
The Gaitan transfer is also much more likely to happen because our relationship with his agent Mendez. Muppets often ignore the importance of agents nowadays
Disclaimer: I m not alleging in any way that friendlytramp is a transfer muppet
What a strange comment
He was kidding.
Money can be inspiring funnily enough!
If he does sign for City it'll be contrary to everything we've heard about his sensible management of his own career. City is not the place to go for a young player to develop.
Some French football agent called Alex Hayes has said he thinks Hazard will go to La Liga, probably to Real Madrid.
I really admire your muppet contribution to this thread so far; stiring work
Where's the 'not sure if serious' gif when you need it?
Are they really interested or just want to drive up the price?
Hmmm interesting.
Would be great to beat City to a player, especially one like him. I'm watching a re-run of the game v VAFC. He does looks good
