Details Surfacing: Hazard to Chelsea

35.3 M pounds transfer fee, 170,000 a week in wages. Really high, but not Man City high quite yet :lol:

The experts are saying that Hazard lost out on a lot of money by specifying which teams he would take offers from. On the open market, he could've gotten more.

But he is getting plenty as is...and you can't blame a guy for wanting to make sure he plays for a WINNER!!!

:evil:

Great signing by United. All but checks Manchester off the list for the services of Wes Sneijder.

So... Harry Redknapp ditched his gig as a EURO 2012 pundit for the BBC in order to be a pundit for Betfair instead. Betfair then made Redknapp available for questions on Twitter, using the hashtag #AskArry. Hilarity ensued...

#AskArry If a tree falls over in the woods and there's nobody there, can it still avoid paying tax by moving itself offshore?

#AskArry Is there a danger of Scott Parker suffering from "burn out" next season and, if so, how might you remedy this? HINT: Sandro.

#askArry I have a flat tyre. As a well-known wheel-dealer I wonder if you can recommend where I can get a new one?

#AskArry Is this interview being conducted in your car with the window wound down? Thought so.

Have you ever met Jamie's father? #askarry

#AskArry If a quark is travelling at the speed of light what is its mass and density to the power of (r)?

#askarry Hodgson has stubbornly stuck with available pool of players. Which players from other countries would you try to sign for England?

#AskArry Where did your Dog do its ACCA qualification? I'd like mine to handle all of my affairs from now on.

If I've never had it so good as a Spurs fan, why do I feel like growing a moustache and skipping town? #AskArry

#AskArry It's 60mins in penultimate game of season & u need 1 goal to secure CL footy. Do u (a) bring on a striker; or (b) play for draw?

#AskArry! How many times have you been asked how a man looking like you produced a son who looks like that?

#AskArry What is your favourite Mario Kart circuit and why?

#AskArry when I see girls at gym and I see the fanny outline through their shorts, milk comes out of my willy. Am I turning into a cow? :-(

Roberto Di Matteo has been appointed permanent manger of Chelsea on a two-year deal. Whether or not he'll see out those two years remains to be seen as we've all been witnesses to the seemingly endless cycle of Chelsea managers.

It looks like Harry Redknapp's days at Spurs might be over. His continued disagreements with chairman Daniel Levy have been well documented. He had a meeting with the board today about him seeking a three-year extension to his contract that expires after next season & a lot of reports are out right now that say the meeting didn't go well at all. The board isn't willing to give him this many years and although there isn't any official confirmation of all of this, it doesn't sound to good. More to come from this in the near future I'm sure.

Yep, this one's been kicked around for a few weeks now. While I don't know if they'll be able to replace him with somebody who will oversee similar results, I'm not disappointed that he's gone. He's been mugging off the club and is supporters ever since Capello resigned from England. Now he wants a raise and a three-year deal after using the last half of the season to remind everybody that he had one foot out the door while the team squandered its position in the table? FUCK OFF.

The names that seem realistic that people have been throwing out there are Moyes, Martinez or AVB. They all come with major questions.

I don't know what this means for United States broadcasting rights for the Barclays Premier League, since I believe that ESPN just inherited the old Setanta rights (I think) previously. The announcement is only for domestic rights (England).

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/soccer/06/13/premier.league.espn.ap/index.html?sct=sc_t2_a10

I hope it doesn't mean FOX Soccer will be the only place to watch the EPL in the U.S. (with occasional games on FOX).

On the other hand, since ESPN lost the rights to the World Cup, I could see the network going in a totally different direction with soccer.

I mean, would ESPN rather have EPL soccer or fishing/poker on Saturday mornings or weekday afternoons on ESPN2?
