Absolute cunt of an individual. Hope he fcks off to obscurity.
I wonder what Henry has to gain with this job tbh. The only way that the job wlil not bw a failure is promotion. That is harder than it seems.
I think itâs pretty refreshing how Eden Hazard has come out and said heâs torn about either signing a new contract or joining Real Madrid.
While circumstances may have been different for our players, I may have ended up with more respect for the likes of RvC, Cântley Cânt, Adebayor, Sanchez, Song and Nasri had they pre-emptively said something of the like.

Song? Really? May aswell fling Clichy in there aswell if youâre putting bloody Song with van Persie and Alexis hah
Most young footballers growing up in Europe would consider Real Madrid as the pinnacle of their career.
I canât imagine any player would think that Chelsea is an iconic club, so Hazard hasnât really said anything that we knew he was thinking anyway.
Without him, Chelsea wouldnât be where they are, so as soon as he leaves we can see them back challenging for a top four place rather than the PL title,
It will be interesting to see how much of the 100m or so they get for him, Abramovich gives the manager to spend on a replacement, and what genuine world class players they can attract.
Itâs completely different though. Like, with the case of RVP and Sanchez â they went to Man United, thatâs a different kettle of fish to Real Madrid. If Hazard came out and said, âIâd love to play for Man United. I canât decide whether to go there or sign a new contract at Chelsea,â then he wouldnât be getting the same respect he is getting now.
All players must dream of playing for Real Madrid. Itâs iconic. Itâs kinda like a free pass for a player to say they want to play for them. Itâs more worrying if the answer from a player was, âReal Madrid or Barcelona? Nah youâre alright.â
United are in a major slump, but I would consider United, Bayern, Real and Barcelona as the highest you can achieve as a professional footballer. Obviously we have history with them, but I wouldnât fault any player for wanting too play for one of those four clubs.
Maybe itâs just me, but I donât really get the huge pull they seem to have, apart from the huge success theyâve had on the field the past 10 years.
If they were both shit, surely not as many would want to play their trade there.
Personally, as a footballer, playing for Arsenal would be my goal, and if abroad, something like AC Milan but I guess thatâs emotional stuff.
Surely footballers would just want to go where the success is, rather than just play for Madrid/Barcelona regardless of that.
Nah with South Americans in particular they worship at the altar that is playing for Barca or Real.
Even for those that arenât the pull is phenomally strong to play there if you get the opportunity.
Yeah I get the latins desire, but not the others tbh.
Like in 2004 for example, I donât see how playing in Madrid or Barcelona was that much more exciting than playing in Milan, Turin or Manchester
I suppose it goes hand in hand with success and prestige really.
If they werenât so successful with the consistent expectation to win everything then the pull wouldnât be there.

Ever since i followed football, worldâs best almost always seem to be playing for Real & Barca or ends up playing for them.
There is a certain certifications you get by being employed by those clubs ascertaining that you are best of the best.
Yeah.
Fuck them.
Looking forward to their decline once the GOAT leaves.
Although I think Real Madrid will be ok to an extent.
Chelsea are a plastic club not even that rich right now. Who would go there?
Yeah itâs basically what others have said. Even though they donât always perform as if theyâre a level above everyone else, theyâre often seen as on a different level. Itâs like the pinnacle. âI played for Real Madridâ sounds impressive to even those who donât follow football.
If one of your players says, âIâd like to play for Real Madrid,â itâs just kind of like âfair dosâ.
I guess itâs kind of like how all the drivers want to drive for Ferrari in F1. Even when theyâre shit.
Maybe Chelsea are offering higher wages than Real Madrid. Because Chelsea canât afford to lose him, while Real might not want to ramp up another 300-400k player right now.

This is so moronic from the Chavs.
All Chelsea have done is highlight, even more, the fact they have so many racist supporters.
Ironically, the only reason for Chelseaâs success, is down to a Russian Jew.
Letâs hope Abramovich sees how ignorant and ungrateful they are, and sells up.
