I guess Kagawa might be a smarter buy for United long term, as if he succeeds, he be as likely to want to move onto one of Barca or Madrid like Hazard would. When I say Hazard is better, that's no slight on Kagawa either. I just think Hazard is a truly unique talent. I've been keeping an eye on him for a while, and he's developing very well indeed. He just keeps getting better and adding more strings to his bow.

Didn't want Hazard anyway. Just like I didn't want Ronaldinho, Benzema, Ozil, Nasri and Sneijder.

I haven't seen enough of any of them to say who is better than who. Hazard is younger, probably more versatile and has more hype though. Plus, if we do get him and he fucks off in a few years, we're getting a lot of £££ for him.

Stats don't necessarily mean everything. I reckon Hazard will hit the £30million mark and in 4-5 years when Chelsea sell him on, unless he turns into Messi the Messiah, I can't see him going for much more.

I'm not saying Kagawa is better, I'm saying that they are pretty much on par. Hazard and Kagawa when they both come here will have a lot to prove, more so Hazard, I can't honestly see Hazard being leaps and bounds better.

Annoyed? I was fucking distraught. Kenyon, the cunt.

He's at the £30m mark already...

There's no way he will be sold for anything less than £50m in 3-4 years unless he flops.

You didn't want Ozil to sign? You're a crazy person.

Hazard's stats have been very good this year, but over the past 2 years (at Lille) Gervinho has had better stats. Hazard is clearly the better player, so they don't tell all. The most impressive thing if you're talking stats is that this Lille side isn't as good as the one last year, they lost several key players, so for Hazard to improve so much and still produce stats like this is exceptional.

Those rumours about Chelsea are mainly unfounded. Originated from a Lille English account with 200 followers, nothing to do with Lille as a club. The news was then spread by various Goal.com journalists, hardly reputable. He could well end up at Chelsea, but no-one knows outside of his circle. I'd still go with United (mainly because City genuinely don't seem as interested as first thougt)
