You can't persuade a player to move

What? Do you think every player we sign was absolutely desperate to join for years?

[Iska]

Bit of a look of Ray Liotta in Goodfellas about Marcos Alonso?  Well done Arsenal thus far anyway.

[peterstone]

Hope Hazard is ok that looked a nasty one. Ozil is a shameless thug, another player whos career he could have potentially ended.

I think he was going for the ball

[Caligula?]

Arsenal have been great but you'd imagine there'll be plates of spaghetti flying everywhere at half time in that Chelsea dressing room. Arsenal might regret not getting a second.

[Fitzy.]

Alonsos fucking barnett!

Like a 19th Century dandy.

He's a funny guy

[Ray K]

What does Nemanja Matic bring to this Chelsea side? It's not passing, it's not energy in midfield, he's not stopping any counter-attacks, and he's a liability in attack.
They need Fabregas in there soon.

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

sanchez is the best player in the league

Yep

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

He's a funny guy

[Caligula?]

sanchez is the best player in the league

lol

[Gerry Attrick]

lol

Why is that funny?

[Adam_LFC]

Arsenal will end up kicking themselves for their misses. Chelsea cannot be as awful

[Illmatic]

You can't persuade a player to move

We had quite a strong hand we could have said to Barca no Sanchez no Suarez. It's a question of will I have yet hear a credible argument of why Sanchez couldn't have been persuaded by us and Barca to come here instead Arsenal.   

[Caligula?]

Why is that funny?

Because he's not the best player in the league for starters.

[Gerry Attrick]

Because he's not the best player in the league for starters.

I think he is. Who do you think is better?

[deFacto please, you bastards]

lol

Surely you can at least provide an opinion?

He scores goals, he creates goals, he's got the vision,technique and quality on the ball, he can play in a number of positions, he's versatile and works his nuts off.

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

Because he's not the best player in the league for starters.

For me he is. Not even a natural striker and gets 20 goals and 10-15 assists

[peterstone]

I've been kicking myself about my Mrs for years so they're in good company


 

Joke

[deFacto please, you bastards]

For me he is. Not even a natural striker and gets 20 goals and 10-15 assists

He's got 30 goals in all competitions [24 in the league despite being poor in parts of the season] and has 15 assists to go along with that. can play anywhere in the attacking third, works non stop, has good vision on the ball, has good passing ability, good link up play, can score variety of goals.

Based on his reaction you would have thought I was talking about Bolasie.

[Caligula?]

Hazard is just a better player. He might not "work his nuts off" but if that was a sign of a quality player then George Boyd would have a case as well.

[Medellin]

Soo many empty seats..embarrassing.

So if we're basing it off statistics then Harry Kane and Romelu Lukaku are better too.

[Iska]

Yeesh, Chelsea look like they've turned up now.

Agree, great player

Workrate is an attribute that makes a large part of how good a player is

Sanchez tries to impose himself at all stages of every game, so his quality is always on display

[Adam_LFC]

If it was a choice between Hazard and Sanchez then I'd take Sanchez at Liverpool

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Hazard is just a better player. He might not "work his nuts off" but if that was a sign of a quality player then George Boyd would have a case as well.

I didn't say that was the sign of a quality player now did I? I mentioned numerous things that you ignored.

[rowan_d]

Is that lower part the Club Wembley seats? Thought they were in the middle tier, and you can normally expect half of those knobends not to turn up.

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

Hazard needs more end product. He's technically probably better and very nice on the eyes, but his performances in away games is a big factor against him. He goes missing too much for me

[pyroparty]

So many Chelsea fans sitting down, pitiful.

[Fitzy.]

Chelsea goal incoming

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

If it was a choice between Hazard and Sanchez then I'd take Sanchez at Liverpool

Yep. His mentality is exactly what we need. Suarez-esque

Danchez wouu have a season like Hazard did last year

[Gerry Attrick]

Hazard is a more aesthetically pleasing player to watch but there's absolutely no way on Earth I'd take him ahead of Sanchez. He's nowhere near as productive.

[zero zero]

Hazard is just a better player. He might not "work his nuts off" but if that was a sign of a quality player then George Boyd would have a case as well.

What a knob you are

[theMilkman]

Costa should really have been booked for dissent there...

Fair enough. Sanchez is an excellent player, but Hazard is world class. At least for me.

[Redman78]

If it was a choice between Hazard and Sanchez then I'd take Sanchez at Liverpool

Without doubt.  Anyway there's not the gulf of difference between the two that warrants a 'lol' as a reaction to opting for Sanchez.

[ScubaSteve]

Sanchez for me over Hazard!! He's more of a team player!

[theMilkman]

What a ball from Sanchez, deserved a better cross from bellerin
