Arsenal Still In With A Chance of Signing Eden Hazard – According To His Agent Anyway
Over the last few weeks the speculation has been increasing that Eden Hazard will be signing for Real Madrid sooner rather than later, but there may be hope for us yet according to the players agent John Bico.
Bico said, “He has shown from the beginning of the season that he is able to play for any of the big clubs, including Real Madrid. Eden has matured in every aspect. Perhaps next summer will be the moment to leave in search of the biggest challenge.”
So that tells me that he is for sale at the right price, but then isn’t everybody, but it also tells me any deal may have to wait just a little bit longer.
Bico then said, “Wenger wanted the player, but Lille said no to the sale last summer. It’s certain that Real Madrid have been watching. I don’t think Zidane’s presence will necessarily decide things. Zidane has always praised him but that, on its own, will not be sufficient.”
That is good to hear anyway, but one thing still worries me. Zidane’s presence, as Bico puts it, may not be enough to lure Lille to sell Hazard, but their money certainly will won’t it?
After reading Bico’s words guys what do you think? Should we put all our eggs in one basket and go for Hazard, or should we look elsewhere and admit defeat knowing that if it comes down to a bidding war with Real Madrid what chance do we really have?

Arsenal dont have a chance if madrid and the big clubs come they paid freakin 90 million for ronaldo alone, we wouldnt win a pricewar against these clubs , let hazard go there are a lot of good players that are better than walcot and gervino and rosicky etc.
Opinions divided. What do you think?

What can we offer that Real Madrid can’t? Every player that has a huge transfer thinks they are the greatest player in the world so it wont ever occur to him that as soon as he makes one or two poor performances Real Madrid will bench him and leave him to rot. With Arsenal you know where you stand, Wenger never lets a player go unless they force his hand as we know with so many deadwood players in the squad already, shame to say but don’t think we have the financial power to buy him or the wage structure to keep him, only if he had a admiration for the club would he choose us. But thats not very likely is it?

We should buy him, even if they ask for 35-40 million euros..
He is worth every buck and we are in serious need for players like him. But on contrary if we dont buy Mario Gozte chances are he will go to Inter, Wesley Sneijder will come to Manchester Utd and the competition will get tougher…
But i still think we should go for Hazard…

Yeah,Arsenal should just buy Hazard despite the price that Hazard’s club demands plus a good number of elegant and non-injury prone players[all:goalkeepers-2, defenders, midfielders and strikers] in the 2012 January transfer window and then sell all its current USELESS “POTATOES” and injury-prone players[in the 2012 January transfer window] so as to be winning trophies.

hazard is good but also benefit from media hype because gervinho even had more record than him last season. If u can’t get him get other explosive wingers like di maria(20 assist last season), marko marin(that guy is a ghost on the wings), douglas costa(a phenomena in 4-3-3 formation for shaktar last season). Get any of this and hmm! Get marvin martin to help us since he is available in january and get gotze in the summer because dortmund wont leave him in january at all

all depend on the player(hazard) if he prefers arsenal to madrid there is nothing 100 madrid can do.do u know u consider three things in a transfer deal? 1 selling club 2 buying club and most importantly the player interest.so let wait and see

I think its time to prove if Gazidis’s statement on transfers fees/wages is actually true, go in for a bidding war and get us someone! Show we still have the hunger for great talent and show we’re still a top club.

Why would Hazard even want to join madrid.He would be behind Ronaldo, Di Maria, Kaka, Ozil and Sahin in the pecking order. Varane went to madrid this year and has hardly played.I dont see Hazard being an instant sensation either, though over the years he might end up being a valuabe member for Madrid(that is if he does join them)

hazard is a very nice player and as well does reason in the right way if i could recall well he (hazard ) was link with barca what did he say ” im honoured been link with a great club like barca with great players but i dont think im ready to play for them because who am i going to bench”this is to show that his not carried awy with money or….so i think if arsenal will show genuine interest i see him playing for us but the prob is will arsenal pay £30-37m and not forgeting gotze and marin they are quality arsenal cant miss i mean they are excellent

Hazard is world class. but I think I speak for most when I say that we have pretty much had enough with all the transfer speculation. Especially when we never end up signing any top class players anyway.
I just want to see our club where it should be, challenging for everything domestically and on the continent.
So p****ed off with the idiots running the club especially that a***hole Gazidis who has no respect for us fans simply because he is not one himself.

Forget hazard lets just focus on getting goetze. the wing is not as important as the playmaker position for afc. Also there are other players such as marin and ayew

I realize hindsight is 20/20, but I was saying all summer to grab Hazard b4 the moneybag teams got interested & started waving their checkbooks. This kid is the Now AND the Future. (Getting Mario would be nice as well). Can you imagine for the next several years, an Hazard, Ox, Gervinho combo roaming the midfield with RvP & Theo up top. Mmm, mmm, mmm tasty!

Arsenal need to stop being mean, the money they think they are earning or saving is just a drop in the bucket to other clubs who are winning trophies…go get tevez, neymar, gotze, and hazard…..sell a few players….just start winning again….the more u win is the more u earn, continue loosing and we will surely be the peasants we are trying not to be…..

FOR **** SAKE I AM SO ANNOYED WITH ARSENAL, IM FED UP. IF WENGER DOESNT SPEND OVER £50MIL IN THE COURSE OF THESE 2 TRANSFER SEASONS, I WILL WANT HIM OUT TOO! WE BETTER GET HAZARD, HE SHOULD OF JUST BIDDED £40MIL IN AUGUST, HE WILL BE WORTH 10MIL MORE IN 2 YEARS ANYWAY FFS. IM REALLY FRUSTRATED, MADRID ALWAYS STEAL THE BEST PLAYERS LIKE OZIL AND SAHIN WHO WE ARE TOO TIGHT TO UP OUR BID FOR, THIS WILL HAPPEN TO HAZARD! IM SLOWLY TILTING TO THE SIDE SHICH ARE SAYING FIRE WENGER!

if hazard was to go to real madrid it would be such a waste of talent, he would be taking a backward step in his career. for hazard to truly become a world class player he would be smart in picking ARSENAL

RM is going after neymar. So why they would want di maria, neymar and hazard? Just offer the right money and change the wage structure so we can keep our best players instead of feeding our rivals.

Arsenal needs first to sack arsene wengar and go pep G. And buy the likes D. G.cahil vertongen l.beins and v. der weil M.ricardo montolivo m’vila edan hazard and falani from everton and the only striker is karim benzima or cavani for arsenal must sell sagna djouru squalici diabe rosicky arshavin vela bendtner chamakh etc and to change the boards for example the cheif Gazedis and the assistan coach plz arsenal for evar

Well considering the way we hijacked Chu Young Park from under there(Lille) noses i doubt if they would like to give him to us cheaply, except Eden hand in a transfer request and show a true desire to come to Arsenal. I doubt if a deal will be done but if it does i would welcome him with open hands cause we need creativity in our midfield right now.
