This could be good for us. If Lille are willing to pay all his wages that frees up another 100k a week or thereabouts. It could also strenghten our relationship with them which could be in our favour next season if Hazard decides to leave

Could be a good move for him. For me he hasn't been at his best since Mourinho was at Chelsea. It'll be interesting to see how he adapts to the French game if he moves.

He's going there for the cheap **** I reckon. What are the odds on him smuggling back 2,000 B&H Silvers every other weekend?

Cole to Lille, Hargreaves to City and Arsenal are signing a tree, what is going on...

 

[CJACKO11]

Good luck to the lad, never should have left us for an extra measly 10k a week but never mind.

Would of won the world cup if we played him. Good signing for Lille can't imagine his french is much bien tho.

"If Joe Cole is using the Eurostar to get to Lille, can he give his return ticket to Eden Hazard?? #Arsenal" XD
