Hazard is over-rated.

he's better than the other dude we got from lille...

Hazard is Nasri with little more talent. He'll probably end up at Mercenary City.

However much we make off the loaness, we will recoup more down the road through sell-on fees and bonuses. For the young ones, anyway. There's no way we won't include those clauses so although we won't make the money upfront, I would expect some bonus 'Bentley money' in a few years. Vela, especially.

But due to the wages of the likes of Denilson and Bendtner I think we will have to accept less than we would maybe have liked because the type of clubs that would be interested in them won't be able to afford the wages/fee combo.

And Hazard will go Man City.

Hernanes(lazio) rumors getting momentum now.
all these rumors this early.not used to them being an arsenal fan

If true, you'd think Milner or Johnson would leave City.

Didn't Hazard once say he's going to a club in England with a lot of history?

The boy is a big tease, I don't really want him anymore. (now that I know we won't get him, it's okay for me to pretend I couldn't care less)

Having Hazard, Podolski and RVP would be like having Robben, Ribery and Gomez, and hopefully with more team work.

Hazard would be a great get, if only so the other english clubs don't get him.

that looks like something resembling a title challenging front line

Hazard is the kind of player who'll always think the grass is greener on the other side. Do we want another player of that kind? No, thank you.

How do you really know that?

no way hazard is coming to us.he is going to man city.he himself has accepted that.Julien Lauren also confirmed this on talksport yesterday

Walcott had his first more or less full season with us. A front line of Podolski, RvP, and an improved Walcott, The Ox, and Gervinho is a very good front three. If we also get M'Vila, I'll be very excited for next season from now.

Have to agree, another year into Walcott, Ox and Gervinho will be massive. Ryo perhaps for some cameos, not convinced he can handle much more of a role than that just yet.

Who the fuck is he?

If he is older than 19 and playing for Anderlecht he isnt going to inspire me.

Agree with this, talk of Hazard is pointless in my opinion now.

I have seen a few games, he's very good though not M'vila good. Think of Sami Khedira with better passing skills.

Biglia is 26 years old actually. My cousin living in Belgium is a massive Anderlecht and Biglia fan. He tells me Biglia is more of a deep playmaker and despite his huge physique, is pretty flexible. Not the best when it comes to tackling and interceptions, but not the worst either. And is a pretty commanding figure in the Anderlecht midfield.
Talking about if he is Arsenal quality, he could be a good squad player but nothing special than what we already have(bar Denilson).

He sounds shit.

I haven't seen him play myself, but him being linked to Real Madrid is quite surprising(as Im not too convinced from what Ive heard either, and him being 26 and still at Anderlecht). Could be a case of (a) was very loyal towards Anderlecht and hence still there, (b) a ploy by his agent to make more money, (c) has started to blossom late, or (d) is just a rumour.
Edit: actually our scouts were in Belgium to watch him last year, but there has been no news as such over there this time around.

Chesney
Sagna Kos Vermaelen Gibbs
M'Vila Wishere Gotze
Hazard RVP Podolski

Sorry, just dreaming out loud. That WOULD be a title-winning team. Even if we end up signing M'Vila, we're probably about 60m short of that though.

"He tells me Biglia is more of a deep playmaker and despite his huge physique"

Huge physique? The estimates for his height range from 1.69cm to 1.78cm, that's hardly what I'd consider huge.

He's 26, has never played in a top league, only earned his first cap in 2011 and has received no hype whatsoever.

No thanks.

This Biglia bloke sounds worse than Pires and Koscielny combined!
