Hazard is talentwise probably our best player in recent Belgian history.But he is also an incredibly immature spoilt brat.

He got substituted in an interland against Turkey where he didn't do anything during 70 min,and because he felt insulted he left the stadium and went for a burger outside with his parents. He has unbelievable skills,but it might be surpassed by his ego.

He will be a great player though for whomever he signs with

Eden Hazard = Cristinao Ronaldo lite

Will be nearly as good without the muscular physique and aerial prowess Ronaldo has. Everything else however like dribbling, shooting, passing, bag of tricks he matches up with Ronaldo pretty evenly

I think that Barton story is bull****. Who would sign a player who will miss, at least, a third of the season? We all know he is liable to get another big suspension in the future. Let him sit on QPR's books until January, If he has kept his nose clean, then think about a bid.

Personally I think he is a walking time bomb and wouldn't want him anywhere near the club.

I still don't fully understand Twitter. Take whats just been said above ^^^^ about Osman for example. Does that mean that a verified account on twitter has said this or just any old person?

Loads of random people are saying it, just checked. It must have started somewhere, but no idea where. Saw someone asking Moose if it was true :lol:

Maybe he's still owed loyalty payments or some other add on. Either way, sounds like it's pretty much done and dusted.

He has 1 year left on his contract does McCartney

I doubt we wanted to pay the release clause and decided to negotiate a lower fee

I thought he had one year left but when we signed him in January we had a gentleman’s agreement that he could join at the end of the season on a free if we wanted him. Considering McCartney was signed for about £6-8m i'd guess his wages are reasonably decent at Sunderland

£6m Osman 31 years old, can't see that myself.

Twitter's becoming silly now with all these transfers rumours that don't have any legs at all, not even a little bit.
