Well Hazard just announced that he is joining Chelsea, glad that is over and done with. He will be off to Real Madrid in two years anyway.

[War]

He tweeted "i will join the European champion".

That's the reason of his choice, it would be another club if Bayern had won.

[Toast]

Can't wait to see : Mata on the left, Hazard on the right and big ol' Hulk in the middle! Chelsea will hopefully be looking good next year.

I think Torres will be Chelsea's main striker next season and that Mata will play more centrally with Hulk on the right wing and Hazard on the left.

Congratulations Marko Marin. You just made the dumbest move you possibly could have done.
Also Hazard is such a piece of shit. He only went after the money, nothing else.

[War]

Well, old players of Chelsea will leave (not Cech), they can build a new team that can be a really playing team with good technical players if thet chabge the manager.
Hulk will certainly go to Chelsea too.
Cech
Ivanovic Luiz Cahill Cole
Ramires Meireles
Hulk Mata Hazard
Torres

If Hulk does not come, Marin will play there.
This team can be very good, unfortunately.

Here's the official italian team for Euro 2012:

Goalkeepers:
1- Gianluigi Buffon (FC Juventus)
14- Morgan De Sanctis (SSC Napoli)
12-Salvatore Sirigu (PSG)

Defenders:
7- Ignazio Abate (AC Milan)
6- Federico Balzaretti (US Palermo)
15- Andrea Barzagli (FC Juventus)
19- Leonardo Bonucci (FC Juventus)
3- Giorgio Chiellini (FC Juventus)
2- Christian Maggio (SSC Napoli)
4- Angelo Ogbonna (FC Torino)

Midfielders:
16- Daniele De Rossi (AS Roma)
22- Alessandro Diamanti (FC Bologna)
13- Emanuele Giaccherini (FC Juventus)
8- Claudio Marchisio (FC Juventus)
18- Riccardo Montolivo (AC Milan)
5- Thiago Motta (PSG)
23- Antonio Nocerino (AC Milan)
21- Andrea Pirlo (FC Juventus)

17- Fabio Borini (AS Roma)
10- Antonio Cassano (AC Milan)

This really look like a decent team to me. Except for Montolivo and Giaccherini, I agree with Prandelli's choice.

Apparently Canal+ are reporting that Montpellier have accepted an 8.5m + Chamakh deal for Giroud, can anyone confirm? Very sceptical about the validity of the rumour.

Edit: Actually, apparently not, just some no-life on Twitter. Sigh.

Supposedly Bayern are on even terms with Edin Dzeko and are still desperate to sign Javi Martínez from Athletic Blibao, who would be the perfect partner for Bastian Schweinsteiger in DM.

[War]

I don't think Javi Martinez will move at any club.
Bilbao is constructing a good teams, with only Basques, they want to get back Benat, Azpilicueta and others, they got nice player in their young teams. I don't think they will sell one of their best player.

Brendan Rodgers has signed a three year contract to become manager of Liverpool, Martinez was a far better choice in my opinion.

OUT WITH TERRY! Stupid racist wanker!

Will be a nice looking team, but sad to see Lampard omitted form starting XI. However, as they say in Italia, FORZA CHELSEA!



and perhaps there will be no Hulk? Just Hazard on the right, Mata in the middle and Marin on the left.

Will be interesting to see how he gets the current Liverpool players to adapt his Barca style passing game, which worked out phenomenally at Swansea. I can see somebody like Charlie Adam, who is a tremendous passer of the ball, taking a larger role now.

I don't see Andy Caroll on this role.

I want to see this next year, that could be nice.


Btw, Roma are going to get the manager Zdenek Zeman, who is a completely offensive manager, he was at Pescara in Serie B, he went to Serie A with them.
He scored 90 goals (!), and took 55 goals (!). That's going to be nice with AS Roma.

He was manager of Roma and Lazio in the past, and was really good. He made the "Calciopoli" scandal appear, that's why he was out of Italian football for some years.
