Let's hope they buy neymar
Eden Hazard
I think they will. Can't see Neymar anywhere but there.
Hazard has always had Arsenal written all over him. Fingers crossed.
We can get Hazard if we're willing to pay more than Wenger has ever paid for a player.
Being linked to Madrid is a good way for all parties involved in his sale to drive up the asking price.
I've also read recently that both Chelsea and Inter are in the hunt too, as well as long time interested Liverpool.
Expect even more hype plus a link with City between now and next summer.
Mourinho is no idiot. You look at the talent he already has at his disposal - I find it hard to believe Hazard would fit into all that.
Di Maria is the only quality, dedicated wide player in their team. I can see why they might want to bring in Hazard. Plus Zizou has been dogged about signing him
Neymar's just signed a contract extension that will keep him at Santos until 2014.
Looks as if Madrid will not sign him next summer and are therefore right back in the market for Hazard.
New contracts have nothing to do with when a player gets sold...
It's not a new contract, it's an extension to an existing contract, and yes that does not mean he's truly committing himself to Santos until 2014 but it could be seen as an indication that he'll stay for there for another season.
Or maybe it's just a way of ensuring that he'll cost a fortune next summer.
Neymar is always going on about the lack of need to leave Brazil and his club are laughing all the way to the bank with him there; he's quite literally the biggest Brazilian star since Ronaldo now.
they need someone to market as the next big thing, because there's a dearth of world class brazilian attackers at the minute. neymar is all they have, even though he's not ronaldo's bootlace in terms of talent or achievement.
Until players actually do something on the biggest stage, it's all hype and bollocks.
It's not hype when it comes to Neymar.
maybe. or maybe someone asked him "hey how would you like to play for inter?" and he answered the question
Fickle as hell, my impression of him
The Madrid 'quotes' were never verified.
Makes little sense why a young player who is not the finished article would come out and limit his own and his club´s options like that IMO.
Got a feeling he's not as good as most think he is either
The quote says nothing about him 'preferring' Inter or 'targeting' a move there. Not worth the bother.
