It's Hazard.
Comolli done at least half of the deal when he was here, Joe Cole to Lille was no coincidence, even if it was only on loan. Hazard came out and admitted at least a year ago he wanted to play elsewhere, preferably in the Premier League. But he would play one more season for Lille and then leave....we are coming up to that point now.
While Comolli was still here, he obviously tried to get the player interested OR aware of our intentions. I feel we are just about to conclude the deal, sooner or later.
Liverpool know this player, we played against him in EL and he looked like a wonderful player, plenty of technical ability and touch, he'll be the sort of signing we need to sign for us to get back up the top.
This won't be the only player we are serious in, the other IMO is Cavani. A lot of money will have to be spent, but don't buy a word of the £20mill rumor. These yanks have got some £££, when they want success....and know what it has to take to get it.
