If he does join, we will improve from having quite clearly the worst strength in depth of any top side in the premier league, to having, quite clearly the best strength in depth of any top side in the world! C'MON YOU HAZARD!!!

It's a name ripe for marketing exploitation. Nike Hazard boots. Car hazard signs waved at our opposition by fans. The Sun will have a corny Hazard headline after every game he does well. Get the guy

Hazard is on ITV4 right now. He's been sent on to rescue Lille against PSV. They're 15 minutes away from going out of the Europa League, 3-1 PSV on the night, 5-3 on aggregate. Lille with a very weak team out tonight though, must be prioritising the League.

Dzsudzsak for PSV is a good player.

Might have to watch that. Saturday evening I guess?

not sure big guy

if its good telly you wanna watch check human planet out - its on now- mad

Saw that a few eks ago, really interesting, but I'm in a football watching mood tonight, watching Lukaku, Ajax-Anderlecht [url=sop://broker.sopcast.com:3912/106491]Dutch Sopcast Link[/url] if anyone's interested.

we need a ljungberg type, someone with heart and the ability/willingness to get in behind and score goals. we don't need another fancy pants player with a sense of entitlement who's not going to show up against crap teams at crap grounds.

i stand corrected, we need someone who will show against crap teams regardless of the venue

We need good players. Hazard is a good player.

Hazard is a quality player, and would certainly freshen up our wide attack.

bringing in him and ryo will do wonders, would free up nasri or shava to play central if needed

True. As Shava begins to age, it might make sense to move him inwards, meaning more opportunities on the flanks. If Vela doesn't take it, then guys like Ryo and possibly a Hazard need to be considered

If Arshavin can't cut it on the flanks anymore then he should just be sold when we can still get good money for him. Don't think he suits the AM/SS role in our formation.

The guy has the second most assists in the league. Yes, he had a bad patch this season, and isn't the fittest, but there's no way we should be actively looking to sell him - he's still quality.

I'm not bothered either way to be honest, but i certainly don't want him deputising for Cesc.

With a little bit of discipline, Arshavin can be an asset for 3 or 4 years. He is excellent and not injury-prone. His eye for goal and playmaking ability can come in handy. One just hopes that he can stay fit and avoid periods where he looks depressed or at least demotivated
