Meh.

 

[Filipower]

What do you mean, "meh"? That's huge!

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Wonder what this means for Kagawa.

 

[Sir Calumn]

Story is a hoax

 

[Mandieta6]

Ugh, that sucks, I was starting to get excited about him. I really don't get why United keeps signing players who are best on the wing.

If this means Kagawa is up for the taking I'm downm, though.

 

[Sir Calumn]

I repeat, it's a hoax. This is still very much a three horse race.

Write out STML's link in capitals and you'll see.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Oh my god, rnanutd.com. Feel so dumb.

 

[Help?]

Hazard's agent says that Chelsea and another club are in contention for his signature as well now. Hazard sounds like someone that loves being center of attention and all the reports about his attitude in the past two weeks make me pretty confident that United won't be chasing him.

 

[Mandieta6]

Goddamnit. I was wondering why it said rnan and then changed to man when I checked the site. The site looked very authentic though.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Anyway, I hadn't really heard that United were interested. Thought it was City or Chelsea.

 

[Sir Calumn]

My analysis of the situation is this. His preference of the three clubs is United by a long way. However, he also likes playing, winning trophies, being one of the team stars and money. United offer playing and being a big star but not money and probably not winning, City offer money and winning but not as much playing and one of many big names, Chelsea offer money, playing, being of one the biggest stars and now, thanks to Saturday, the possibility of winning. We also offer living in London. Therefore I think he will choose us.

 

[Help?]

I think he will chose the highest bidder aka City.


United has at least as good of a chance of winning as Chelsea. Your key players Terry, Lampard and Drogba are on a decline and you'd have to spend a lot to replace them.

 

[Mandieta6]

How Chelsea replace Terry (Luiz, Ivanovic, Cahill at the club, Bruma and Kalas on loan), Lampard (who at the double pivot shares time with Mikel, Essien, Romeu, Meireles), and Drogba (Torres, Sturridge, Lukaku, Bamford) is probably the last thing on his mind. It's one thing if you're Arsenal, who never upgrade their departures, but Chelsea are a buying club, that's not going to be a factor.

 

[Sir Calumn]

I think he will chose the highest bidder aka City.

I think financial fair play and Abramovich's post CL enthusiasm will mean there is very little pecuniary difference between our offer and City's....

 

[Filipower]

Haha, fooled me!

 

[Jaboldinho]

Fooled ESPN too.

Hahaha, can't believe I fell for that ****.

Luckily it doesn't look like I'm the only one.
