Now apparently there’s a load of buzz going around Twitter, a certain rumour if you will about a Belgian player called Eden Hazzard, who is due to sign with Arsenal in the next 48 hours, and I’m sorry for those who read but this is about to pour water over that hot news, because you see, Eden Hazzard will not be joining us anytime soon – quite where all these rumours spouted from is beyond me, but most likely AKB’s trying to be positive still when the truth is quite clear, we are not going to sign anyone.
Now let me start by saying, if you actually believed all this BS rumour going around, then more fool you – obviously you haven’t learnt by now, that Arsenal FC do not pay such extravagant figures, as a player like Hazzard would cost, something around £30 million, now the club made their record signing in 2009 with Arshavin at £16.5 million does that not say something to you, the club also refused to stump up the extra cost for Juan Mata, the extra £2 million for Ricky Alvarez etc etc the list could go on, so on that basis fo for a start no way will Arsenal be signing Hazzard.
Secondly a player like Hazzard will want to play for a Champions League team, we can offer no guarantee of that at this time, we’ll be lucky if we make it in the Europa League next season lets be honest here on recent performances.
Thirdly, a player who will cost around £30 million would also command a wage that fits a £30 million player, again anyone who knows Arsenal will know that Arsenal do not fit in the ‘pay high wage’ category.
Not to mention of course that Hazzard would be cup tied from Champions League football for the rest of this season after featuring for Lille in their campaign.
Now I’m not saying I wouldn’t love it, if the club made such a gesture like this and signed him or paid that kind of money out on a player, he’d be a great addition to the club, but it just isn’t going to happen, as much as the Wengerites who think that Arsene Wenger is going to walk out there and sign every player – sorry to burst the bubble but he’s not, open your eyes wake up and smell the coffee – Eden Hazzard will not be joining this club at anytime soon, and neither will an other player of that calibre or price.
