It will be Manchester, class.
I hope its the red side of Manchester, City are buying players so that rival clubs can't buy them just because they have the money. At this rate they will ruin the premiership.

That is true, look at all the players they had on loan that walked into sides, not to mention their bench.

I disagree. I think City want to trim their squad drastically but can't shift the players as they're on too much money (their own making I know)
Eden Hazard is CLASS.
Can't wait to see him in England.
Hazard said in another interview that the colour of his shirt would not be the same as the colour of Lille, so that means City.

Question.
Is it a Belgian thing, or an Eden Hazard thing, or a Lille OSC thing, but why is he being so weird and flirty about the whole thing? Everyone knows that he's an amazing player and that he's worth a lot so why all these silly games about which colour shirt he'll be wearing?
