Really? Can you honestly say that Messi was shit at the World Cup? Yes, his team got beaten to a pulp by Germany but was he shit at the World Cup?
Messi played well at the world cup. This whole he played shit thing is a myth
And this has what to do with hazard?
He will probably play as many bad/good games for club and country but as we see more of him here we get a better sample of performance levels imo. Plus at club level you'd expect slightly higher levels of performances, as they are used to each other so they know each others games better. Plus in general they are playing with better players.
Yes. At international level Rooney is pretty much playing with weaker teammates throughout the squad.
I would honestly laugh if all clubs in for him just said feck off Hazard and he remained a Lille player. Obviously I would later regret it, but the fecking hype surrounding this guy is setting him up for a big fall. I really don't know if the lad is going to be able to match up to the footballer we are expecting him to be?
Maybe people should have lower expectations.After all transfer fees do not make a player
Yep, and coming from the French league, it'l be a massive step up in terms of opposition. Also getting used to the style of play and his teammates, wherever he goes , he'l take a while to settle down.
Maybe we should, but that isn't really going to happen tbh. We are in for a player reported to be paying around 32 million for him, he comes with the accolades of someone who could be potentially be a world beater. But the main factor is City and Chelsea want the same player! If we were to get him, then we instantly want this player to perform so we can stick 2 fingers up to the renties and the shite, anything less than this and City and Chelsea will say how they chewed their arm out of a bear trap by not signing him.
Obviously he is a young lad and will need time bedding in and getting used to our game, but because of the situation I described above I feel we won't be as patient with Hazard as we normally would.
I think if people expect him to join and be the 2nd coming of ronaldo straight away, they will be in for a big shock.
But if we are patient and persistant with him, he could go close to something like his abilities, maybe a more technical less physical version.
I would be very excited if it went through, but please dont expect miracles.

What? He was the first real no 7, and it was his performances for over a decade that iconized the number.
Best may have been the first to bring acclaim to the number, but not definitively, im sure he also wore 11. Shirt numbers were usually defined back then by the position you played in the team. I am fairly sure Robson was the first to wear that number and no other, and considering the length of time and the manner in which he wore it, surely he should be credited for establishing the legend, for the other 'products' to continue.
A strange view on Robbo that Pexbo. He was the only shining light for Utd, during a time of Liverpool domination. He epitomised everything a footballer should be imo, and for England he was also an inspirational Captain, poster boy and national hero. Utd's greatest ever midfielder and Captain imo, not a successful as Keane granted. But for me during my childhood, he was a hero in ever sense of the word, and the only man ever to take up wallspace in my bedroom. A feat i am certain will never again be repeated!
You're right , Best wore 8,9 and even 10 once I think. It was Robson who became the first to always wear the no 7 shirt - and one of our greatest ever players! The better the opposition, the better he played. He really did seem to win games on his own
Yeah, he's (Robbo) the only united player I truly associate with the number 7.
Sniedjer mark 2 thread? Or is that Ozil mark 3 thread?
I really don't feel he gets the recognition he deserves - maybe because we have a lot of younger fans. But when you remember his performances ! I can't remember a bad one
Start a thread on him with a huge in depth opening post including vods and comments on him.
Am I right in saying pretty much every media outlet has said he's joining us during this short saga so far?
Surely one of them must be right...
Surely one of them must be right...
Pretty much from 2 days after the last match in france.
Barcelona was and is definitely not interested. Shit source is shit.
Sport journalists are widely acknowledged for their great insight on transfers, I see no reason to doubt their integrity.
Yes but most of them have quoted some other article as their source and usually a day or two after that article originated on the other site they've quoted from so while it looks like it is new news because of the date of the new article it isn't.
Take that article Summit posted for example. It was made today, but looking at Le10sport, the last time they talked about Hazard on there choosing us was the 23rd.
It's ridiculous to start with a statement which implies fact
"Manchester United HAVE won the race..."
Then go on to say
"Le10sport.com CLAIMS..."
Stupid, utterly stupid.
Be quiet Damien. Its cocks out time around here, stop putting a downer on things with your cyborg mind.
I'm not expecting much to come of this, even if we do sign him I'll probably be skeptical for a few days.
I watched all his games and no he was average and especially for his billing as best player in the world coming into the tourni. To say he played well is also misleading he was on par with a lot of players and didn't play 'bad' but I think its fair to say he didn't live up to the hype or perform to a top billing standard the real individual stars of the world cup 2010 were Forlan, Muller, Sneijder and Ozil for me.
Take it to a Messi thread. Sick and tired of hearing about him.
Aint that the truth.
Agree. Even when he's out there on the pitch scoring for us I'll be sceptical - "Has he signed yet?!"
The prick teasing continues, dirty filthy fecking prick teaser.
And you love him for it.
I just hope he gives us a happy ending...At least have the common courtesy to finish off properly....

Hazard is on record himself as saying he'll announce the deal by 2 June friendly.

(2/2) He feels he can be "the man" at Old Trafford. But United are concerned about Kompany's influence over the next week with Belgium.

Bit of new info re Hazard. Apparently he is concerned that City have too many stars around his position. (1/2)

Don't post tweets in this thread. Use the twitter thread instead.
If Hazard has worries about playing at City then there is not much Kompany can do or say to him that can remove those doubts as Kompany is not the manager of City.
Hopefully SAF has gotten in Hazard's ear and told him what he did with Ronaldo and what Hazard could do at United - that should be sufficient to convince him United is the right place for him if his primary concern is football and not money (as he claims it is)

Ok, but this is a quote from a well known journalist, who will probably write something about this in a newspaper tomorrow. Not a "bloke from a pub tweet"
really difficult to see why he wouldnt choose us if hes really concerned about his play time and position..

No worries, I changed the name of the thread, removing the bloke at the pub it. That thread should be used for all tweets, excepting those from the player himself.
