"French paper La Voix du Nord say Lille will give Liverpool first refusal on Edin Hazard in 2012 as part of Joe Cole loan."
Now that is something I am really hoping is true! Fantastic news if true! Shows we are moving in the right direction!
1st refusal means northing
Surely if it meant nothing it wouldn't be put in the contract and we wouldn't have asked for it. I am sure the guys know what they are doing.
its alittle bit like a contract, it doesnt really mean alot. arsenal didnt want to sell fab but the player wanted to move so he got the move. its better having a 1st refusal then not having one but it doesnt really mean alot
