Reports in Spain say United have given up on signing Fabregas.

Reports in England say we're about to make another bid.

Reports in this thread say it doesn't fucking matter because he was never a realistic target anyway.

Now spend three weeks trying to woo Schweinsteiger please.

And waste more fucking time.

Give Moyes a limitless transfer budget and he fills his kecks.

Crazy that a few loanee's have returned to Chelsea and improved the first team squad.
Same thing will happen to us with Suso next year.
 
Should I hate Vanessa Hudgens? Because I don't. She is one of the most attractive (taking aside the huge factor of personality atm) people I have ever seen.

ChelseaGAF has Mou made any changes to the team yet? Style/formation? Seems pretty much the same to me, but it's very early days.

#MUFC could soon make a third bid for Fabregas in the region of €40m (£34.5m). #FCB

Lol

It's probably too soon to say? It's similar - but he's freshened up the team with a couple of clever signings and calling back some lads from loan.

Lukaku and De Bruyne could be huge for us this year.

Like a moth at a light bulb
Moyes the Muppet

Manchester United remain keen to pursue a deal for Cesc Fabregas despite Barcelona claiming they have given up on signing the Spain midfielder.

The Premier League champions have already had two offers for the 26-year-old former Arsenal captain turned down.

Barcelona sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta told a Spanish newspaper United have "renounced his signing".

But sources close to the English champions have indicated they are considering a third bid for Fabregas.

Any bid over £30.75m would exceed United's transfer record and the player remains the main target of new manager David Moyes with four weeks remaining until the summer transfer window closes.

Zubizarreta, speaking in Israel where the Catalan giants are currently on tour, told Spanish newspaper Sport the player is going nowhere.

"Manchester United are interested in the player, but it's also true that they understand our position of not wanting to sell," said the ex-Spain goalkeeper.

"They have renounced his signing. We aren't going to sell him."

Zubizarreta added on Barcelona's official website: "He has a contract with us. We count on Cesc.

"He's an extraordinary player who creates and finishes chances. We are delighted with him. He's the number four of Barca."

Fabregas moved to the Nou Camp from Arsenal in 2011 in a £35m deal and has since helped his boyhood club to a La Liga title, a Copa Del Rey victory, the Uefa Super Cup and the Fifa Club World Cup.

Barcelona manager Gerardo Martino claims it would be up to the Spain international where he played next season and Arsenal are understood to have first option on Fabregas.

However, Gunners manager Arsene Wenger believes the player will remain in Spain.

"What I know is Fabregas will stay one more year at least in Barcelona," said the Frenchman. "That's the information I have. If that changes, I don't know, but that is what I have been told."
Wenger wouldn't go for him, even if they did want to sell.

What the fuck have United been doing? Less than 2 weeks until kick off and we've signed fucking nobody. I don't even get this bollocks about 'thinking about a third bid', it's only £4m more on top of £30m for Fabregas, who gives a fuck just pay it or sign Fellaini.

It's all being done by Woodward, don't forget.

Moyes probably got the job thinking he could attract player in the world and now he's facing reality.

Moyes should actually criticise Woodward if he's fucking about. The club's too cheap to sack him for speaking out.

Nobody wants to play for Moyes.

I just hope we stop mugging around... If we are really interested in signing him and have funds then we should make a serious offer... 35 mil is not gonna cut it for Cesc. For us his worth shud be priceless and Barca are adamant not to sell. So we shud make a serious offer of arnd 45+ if we want to force the issue. Otherwise we r just wasting our time.

Why would Fabregas leave a world class Triforce of Xavi, Iniesta and Messi for Cleverley, Kagawa and Welbeck

Why the fuck would he.

Yup. I just hope there's other stuff going on that we don't know about (I mean, there must be). All of these offers have obviously been leaked to the press and it only makes it more frustrating.

Yup suits the Suarez situation as well.

Say whatever u want abt City, Chelsea and other clubs. They realised what the player is worth to their team and bid the right amt aqnd got them. Certain players you just have to buy by paying huge fees coz that's what the squad needs.

Acciuga is still working on the 433 and I appreciate that. I only wish we had the financial power to buy Chocoladem and Onda, this pre-season game is showing how much we need two players like them, they're just perfect for what the manager has in mind.
And the Zapata-Silvestre duo looks solid already, I like that.

Money, regular first team action in big games, chance to win a league he failed winning earlier, he wud like to play where fans wud worship him, lots of reasons.

Besides RVP,Vidic,Rooney,Kagawa,De Gea,Carrick,Ferdinand and Bebe as team mates is not much of a down grade.

45 mil to start? You better come with some Bale type offer, considering he is a much, much better player than Bale.

Barca would wrap the Man Utd first XI in bubble wrap, box it up and FedEx it straight to LOL Land.

Bales case is an anomaly and u cannot use it as benchmark forother deals.

Yes he is a better player than Bale but he is worth every single pound of the offer made for Spurs and Madrid for some absurd are infatuated with him. So Flo is dng whatever he needs to do in order to get him. Whatever his reasons are? God knows!

Well I'm glad that's the way Rodgers is looking at it. You need to thank Real and these other rich clubs for inflating player prices. If I was Liverpool, I wouldn't sell him for anything less than £65 million and judging from Rodger's comments about it, he seems to agree with it.

I'm surprised that no club has made a serious bid for James Mc Carthy. He's too good for Championship football.
