Eden has endured heavy interest from prominent clubs in Europe, primarily clubs playing in the Premier League. Chelsea[3], Arsenal[4], and Manchester United[5]have been the primary clubs watching the youngster. However, the Belgian proceeded to snub the three English powerhouses, signing an extension with Lille keeping him with the club until 2012.[

So he's snubbed Chelsea,Arsenal, and Man U to stay at Lille only to leave and come to us,i don't think so...unless there's a shed load of money coming our way.
Can we make up a Charlton Player and start a rumour on here that we have to sell him to avoid administration to see how quickly it gets picked up by teamtalk etc etc.
Said on her before, are the lads Ivorian lads joing us this summer? Soko and the others? supposed to be real talents i know Boy thingy has already been floged to belgium, but the other 3 or 4 could make a massive impact.
"The agent of Eden Hazard has revealed Manchester United and Barcelona have been following the Belgian starlet for over two years.
Chelsea are also keen on the Lille teenager as his Italian agent, Francesco Musarra, confirmed to Tuttomercatoweb.com: "Outside of Italy, this is a player who has been admired by Barcelona and Manchester United for at least two years. Playing now with regularity this season, the Blaugrana in particular have already tried to take him last summer.
"The greatest danger, however, comes from the Premier League, I'm sorry to say, but in this field our (Italy's) football has been passed by."
So basically there is zero chance of us signing him. But even if his agent is talking rubbish, why would he leave a top flight french club to sign for a division 3 English team?
Eden Hazard is one of a number of young players being targeted by a group of London-based football investors.
The group, Lansdowne Investments, thought to be headed by former Charlton Athletic Chief Executive Peter Varney, has launched a fund to "acquire the services of and rights to footballers with significant potential". Lansdowne's spokesman explained: "we are looking to sign agreements with a number of footballers in the UK and abroad to give them the opportunity to widen their experience by playing for different clubs. As their experience and expertise grows, we will allow them to be acquired on a mpore permanent basis by talent-hungry, leading clubs, such as those who traditionally find themselves in the latter stages of the UEFA Champions League; FIFA World Cup and other tournaments".
The investment portfolio is not limited to footballers, but may also include the risky world of football club investment as well. "We may look at the opportunity to become involved as equity holders of one or more football clubs. To that end we are in discussion with a number of clubs. We believe the mix of talent available to us could be used to benefit clubs currently outside the top echelons". When asked which clubs were involved, the spokesman declined to comment.
Lansdowne was launched as a shell vehicle in 2008 by a number of football-experienced investors and is understood to have the backing and guidance of at least one former Premiership manager.

Like those who 'owned' Tevez ....?
'Lansdowne Investments' ....... brilliant Charlton name - named after Lansdowne Mews, right by the Sam Bartram entrance.
This is a classic CL thread, on one hand a list of stupid footballer names, at the same time a conversation about an investments organisation that may or may not have a massive impact on our club. I dont know which to take less seriously !
There is also a player in Spain, Luis Díaz Potarro, who is known as 'Potato'.
There's also Charlie Oatway's real name, Anthony Philip David Terry Frank Donald Stanley Gerry Gordon Stephen James Oatway. Named after the QPR team in 1973.
Anyone want to name their future son Robert Daniel Mark Darren Kelly Lloyd Therry Zhi Nicolas Jonjo Deon?
