Hazards late season performances did have an air of putting himself in the shop window about them to be fair.

If he goes surely PSG is the destination. Can imagine them blowing £50m plus on Hazard.

About an hour from Manchester to Liverpool.

About five hours from Liverpool to Manchester taking into account time spent replacing wheels/hubcaps etc. ;)
Liverpool to London. Geez that'd be like the time between Chef and myself. That's not close at all and not close enough for what was being discussed.

Maybe his hip injury was worse than thought, I think Jose and the club may be a bit to blame by trying to play him through it. Since he was put into cotton wool and allowed to get over it he's returned to the Hazard of old. Not sure there was much 'shop windowing' about it.

Maybe. To me Hazard has talked about Real & PSG in the media this season and has looked unhappy at times.

Couple of examples:

http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/...ne-zidane-amid-bernabeu-rumours-a6862786.html

Then he came out with this:

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/feb/15/eden-hazard-chelsea-psg-transfer-speculation

On the other side of the coin there are articles claiming he is happy to stay at Chelsea:

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/feb/15/eden-hazard-chelsea-psg-transfer-speculation


It really could go either way.

Yeah, I just don't see it happening myself. He seems happy where he is and the club(and new manager) are happy to hang onto him.

Will be interesting to see what transpires either way.
I'm pretty confident we will keep him for at least one more season. It was the official Chelsea website that posted the quotes regarding Hazard looking forward to working with Conte and since then the rumours have died down. Guus and Matic have both recently acknowledged that he'll be there next season and that's also killed off a lot of speculation. I do think he will eventually move to Real Madrid in the future though, especially if Zidane sticks around.

This is a welcome change, players actually know who we are and actually want to play for us.

Lapadula's had an excellent season, and it looks like he fits in very nicely with our traits. Would be nice to get this one sorted right away, an Italian Jamie Vardy, two gladiators in thee arena. Bring it on!

So the players know who you are now but you don't know them :$

Blasphemous. There is only 1 gladiator

Ha ha, of course I know of Lapadula. He had an excellent season at San Marino. Then again, I've only seen highlights of him outside of FM. I'm only making the joke since well, Mahrez thought we were the Tigers, the Rugby Union team. Also makes a welcome change from players chaining themselves down, demanding that their presidents send them to a German team, which said German team actually had the gall to not even recognise us, and continued to heavily lowball the club. (Then again, Fuchs joined us because he actually enjoyed our Great Escape, and we know how he went!)

I really did like my Serie B and Italian lower divisions. Fun leagues, fun times. Ternana 04-05 was a really fun campaign FIFA wise. Also the time I learnt about Max Vieri and Christian's connection to Australia.


Ah Totti, now that's a true gladiator right there. I wonder if he's got one more in him for Roma, he has been offered the contract.
