Can't wait for a newspaper to use the original 'Fabregas-ted'
Fabregas

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?!

I think its highly possible. Barca then have the luxury of signing either a CB or a CM to replace Fabregas. As they can move Mascherano back to CM.
It's so ON.
It's so ON.
I think Arsenal's stance matters.
If something's gone on behind the scenes at Barca whereby he's up for a move, i think he would rather go back to Arsenal than come to us.
Depends whether they bid for him though.

For what it's worth.
So Pep was trying to sell Fabregas the same year he signed him? Incredibly poor journalism if true, it makes no sense whatsoever.
Siesta time in Spain.....
Not much hope of this though, after they've sold Thiago. We'd be better off trying for Gundogan (Not to say that Dortmund will sell him easily), or maybe Modric.
As if Barca will sell Cesc ans Thiago in the same summer.
Shit rumor with no chance of happening.

I doubt that personally. Why go back to a team that haven't won't jack shit in how many years.
Good point, forgot about Mascherano.
Marquinhos > PSG - Thiago Silva > Barca - Fabregas > United
'Rumours' don't get posted on the BBC.
Doesn't Arsenal have first refusal on any Fabregas transfer in the near future? If so it won't make any economical sense for Barcelona to sell him now.
It's not a rumour, it's an official bid registered. They're not going to sell for £25m but we are interested.
Fact is, it isn't a rumour. The bid has happened.
It's not a rumour, even Howard Nurse has confirmed the bid.
We will get Felliani.
So to make it seem like you at least tried and there was some activity in the transfer market. No other way to explain this. Selling him would leave Barca a bit short, the player has already said he only sees himself playing for Arsenal and Barcelona.
Yeh but he loves the club. Suppose RVP could have a word with him about what it's like to be successful in England.
And to people saying 'rumour', it's not a rumour - we've officially bid for him.
Can't win with some people, we don't bid we're morons, we bid and it's a rumour that's never gonna happen! At least we're going for someone, whether we get them or not, i'd say it shows great intent from Moyes and at least this time he's not a defender.
I wonder how Pete is going to deal with this one.
not going to happen, although i would love to be proved wrong for once.
Our bid will be rejected most probably, but starting with a low bid is a standard negotiation tactic.
Do you not get bored of yourself?
Really more after 6-8 months of having him. Looking at his minutes those last 15-20 matches, you could see Pep had no confidence in the player
Also, Mascherano will never play CM/DM for Barcelona again...ever
Hope you're right man.. this would be a huge signing & boost for the fans..
We can bid for him all we like, even if we go up to a stupid sum he's not going to want to leave them. He's first in line to the throne at his boyhood club. Clearly money isn't an issue for him as he took a pay cut to be there.
NEVER. GOING. TO. HAPPEN.
NEVER. GOING. TO. HAPPEN.
Imagine Moyes' excitement if the bid was accepted?
"Och, Malcolm we missed out on the wee Thiago lad. We should just make a bid for a midfielder to keep the fans happy, aye,"
"Well sure thing Mr. Moyles. I sure would love to make a bid for a Spanish player, they're pretty awesome, right? We can leak the news and keep everyone happy, all in the meantime the bid gets rejected and I keep my dollars."
"Och, sweet Jesus they've accepted."
"God dammit!"

Burst out laughing, how many times do you want to post this type of shit? You are so lovable.
Nope. Atleast he has moved on from making up stories of SAF giving the hairdryer to Yorke, that's some progress.
They have first refusal on his transfer and Wenger won't even think twice to welcome him back. However, I think as long as Wenger's the manager at Arsenal, he won't play for another Premier League club. In addition, he genuinely loves Arsenal and can help them immensely mount a genuine title bid.
As long as we get someone else like fabregas to go with him I couldn't give a toss.
Yep the PR machine are in full swing.
Why did he sign him in the first place then? Or was it more of a president's transfer because he wanted a la Masla product back?
Its what I think is going to happen. There's nearly zero chance we will get Fabregas. Barcelona wont sell and even if they do, I seriously doubt Fabregas will come to United
How do we know that? Has either club confirmed an official bid? As long as they don't, it's just a rumour, not a fact.
A £25m bid for Fábregas would be pointless either way. That's a bid that's intended to fail. If it's true (again, we shouldn't treat this as fact) then it's really just an attempt at doing an Arsenal: at the end of the transfer window we'll be able to say that we were in for the biggest and best players but their club did not want to sell.
But I don't see first refusal having any significance. Lets say we had a bid accepted, then arsenal could match that bid regardless of first option.
So the dumb feckers we are... New out main target was Fabregas but we wait until they sell Thiago to make a bid. Barca are really likely to sell two midfielders.
I don't think BBC would be running this story if they weren't absolutely sure that it happened.
