If we made a bid, I'd imagine Fabregas must be open to a move. It'd make no sense otherwise.
Fabregas
- Thread starter Reapersoul20
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!

It is weird. Way more likely to happen a couple of weeks ago and Thiago would probably have stayed 
Did someone see Thiago left and thought "Ohh Barcelona are selling players, lets see if they'll sell us this one" or something?

Does this mean it's on?
Exactly.
It's a front page breaking news BBC Sport headline. There is no way it makes it onto their website unless they are 100% certain.
It's desperation if the bid is a complete non-starter and the attempt is merely a PR exercise.
Because he is a monumental bellend of Rooney proportions....it would be just my luck after patiently waiting 9 years to get rid of rooney for us to sign someone I dislike nearly as much.
I'd laugh so hard if this deal went through (i do NOT think it will) for two reasons:
1) People shouting for MoyesOut over the Thiago saga, not realising he wanted someone for a similar price who is already proven and is also world class all along. Same people will be thumbing off chubby's if this happened.
2) It would feck Arsenal fans off so badly. Two of their former captains and only real world class players they've had for the best part of 10 years, now playing for a direct Premier League rival.
Excellent.

Why didn't we bid three weeks ago?
The fact that the BBC are reporting is going to put the muppetry through the roof. There was no proof we were even in for Thaigo and look how that went.
FFS I can't do this again 
I'm not going to lie, this is why I want Fabregas more than anyone.
Don't Fabregas and RVP have the same agent?
Wheres FCBarca when you need him?
I think we should all calm down till David Moyes says he's a priority.
Yeah but I'm sure United will have done their homework before, doubt they would just put in a bid without sounding them out. Does seem unlikely though now that they have lost Thiago, always thought it would be one or the other going, if anyone was gonna leave.
Is it our the realm of possibility that during the Thiago saga Barca made it clear that Fabregas might be available at the right price? I mean yes it would leave Barca 2 midfielders down but its not like they don't have plenty of time to get a replacement, perhaps they already have one lined up and thats why they want to shift Cesc.
If we could get him in the £30 odd million range though, great price for a BPL proven player.

The more I think about it..........the more convinced I am its going to happen..............
We're bringing Cescy back. YEAH!
You thought that Moyes don't know how to act. YEAH!
Buying midfielders is the new attack
So come on, Twitter, show us some spack
Rooney's off to the Bridge!

Where can I bet on, "Who'll have the highest post count in the Fabregas thread on United Forum"?
Spitting, tantrums, being a whiny little bitch against Bradford, throwing Pizza at SAF
Ok we need to get to work on 'adapting' Andersons song!...
You won't hear me complaining... I wonder if the 'not fond of him' sentiment is shared by other Barca fans..
I never pegged you for being down with the JTizzle... (I can only assume thats what his "street" name is?)
The timing is very interesting..
Not as far as I can see.
It's a longstanding rumour that Cesc was unhappy and that the Barca fans and board weren't exactly in love with him. Even while Guardiola was in charge they had a private detective reporting on him, because of "concerns" about his form and fitness.
But to bid now - after Thiago's sold - when it's a bigger deal for Barca? That's just strange.
Agree that it's not gonna happen, why wouldn't you want though?
Why the heck would people not want him? Was the best Central midfielder in the PL easily when he left for Barca and he is still only 26. Would be ridiculous to be disappointed about this.
You've been waiting 9 years to get rid of Rooney? So after he started his United career with a hat-trick, you were sat there thinking 'God I can't wait to get rid of this guy'?
feck it, go nuts
Yes, in thew transfer window of all times
Something I find interesting..
If Barcelona got the bid and thought "Nah, feck off, not happening" - surely the first we'd here is "Barcelona reject bid" rather than hearing they're considering it. If they're considering it surely they feel there's something to consider?

I can only see Barca being interested if Rooney is part of the deal.
It's strange that Moyes says he has almost unlimited funds, then we submit a reasonably low bid for Fabregas.
