Increased Costa Living - The Transfer Thread

It would be tho...

--------------------Giroud---Morata---------------
------------------------Hazard-----------------------
Alonso------------------------------------Zappacosta
-------------------Baka-----Kante-------------------
--------Rudy-----Christensen-----Azpi----------
-------------------------Courtois---------------------

Morata can operate wide or drop in or play through the middle waiting for a cross. Giroud can play the classic 9 and still capable of keeping the ball on the deck. Then Hazard floats but has two options up top to link with.

Wingbacka would have a field day with crosses. Baka and Kante sit deep. Could switch Baka for Drinkwater as well.

 

Giroud and Morata aren’t a great pairing imho.

 

I think they could coexist well enough. I'd like to see it. Willian and Cesc are out... Pedro has been struggling. Our other attacking options are Barkley and Drinkwater. So it's actual our best attacking players in an 11 at the moment. It's worth a shot. Doesn't have to be the end all of be alls. Just a game or two after training in it.

 

This lacks any reason or credibility and is purely made up by the "reporter" but please let it be.

I'll just say if I'm Eden Hazard, I'm out. I've got a foot out the door unless I get confirmation we're making a couple of blockbuster signings and Conte is gone.

 

Not a big fan of playing Morata and Giroud to start a match because we still only have 2 recognized strikers.

 

lol that makes this even funnier. so much nonsense.

 

Hazard will be 28 by the end of his contract, and isn't a player who's likely to age especially gracefully. I'm not sure he's at the top of Real's list.

 

Y'all need to stop reading those Hazard to Madrid/PSG/Seattle Sounders headlines.

First off, he's 27 (the wrong side of his 20s) and as mentioned, not likely to age gracefully. If there was any time Madrid would've made a bid for him, it'd have either been after our awful season where we had no CL. Or when he was still at Lille. Which was six years ago. When he was in demand by pretty much every big club. We aren't a selling club. Haven't been since Roman came along (Barring Robben).

 

Madrid need to make a statement with the kind of season they are having. Hazard and Kane are the closest I can think attainable for them. The rest are at destination clubs unless they start looking at Lemar, Werner, etc. but that has never been their modus operandi. He just turned 27 15 days ago and has a solid 3-4 years in him at least.

I don't want him to go but I can see Madrid going all out for him.

 

Again, if there was any time they would've gone for him, it'd have been the season Jose left.

 

Madrid were coming off consecutive CL wins and a Liga win and probably thought they didn't need to strengthen any more. The situation has changed now.

 

There has been rumors about him leaving for Madrid (Or was it PSG? Who knows!) for years! If it was going to happen, it would've happened.

And again, we are not a selling club. Anyone makes an offer, we can just say, "hahahaha, go away." Well, not in such simple terms but you know.

 

We are more about the money nowadays. If Hazard won't re-up and Madrid come with a massive offer, I put the odds on us to sell.

 

Wasn't there rumors linking him there during Becks Galaxtico days?

 

You had me at Seattle Sounders.

 

Lol... I use to have a running joke with my coach in college that he should move me to center forward from outside back cause I'm was peter crouch reborn in a shorter body. Whenever I'd get a goal in practice the robot celebration was always done.

 

I can see the age concerns with clubs being resistant to spending big on Hazard but I can easily see him going to Madrid. He is a perfect fit for them, and is a world star who would bring a lot of revenue to Madrid.

If we don’t have bring in a few top top players I can see him moving on.
