Woodward isn't that much of a moron that he'll fall for the same trick twice. United need to stop fecking around with silly low bids and put in a big money offer to tempt Barca.
)£10m but as I've said I'd overpay by £5m to get him, thus max £35m. He's been pretty shite for Barca. Just because he tore shit up for Arsenal does not guarantee he'll return to that form for United should we get him. I'd rather we spent £50m on Vidal instead of £40m on Fabregas which is precisely what Barca will do if we take Fabregas off them.
What players say at press conferences are hardly the truth. He's not going to say 'yep, I thought about leaving Barca for United'. United didn't put in blind bids last summer. They were encouraged by Fabregas' camp. Maybe Fabregas wanted to use the United interest to force Barca into giving him more minutes, but the fact that United are going in for him again strongly suggests that he is open to a move.
My opinion, but Arsenal have Wilshere, Ramsey, Flamini and Arteta, as well as Oxlade-Chamberlain if Wenger wants him to play there. We have an ageing Carrick, Cleverley and Fellaini. Fabregas would instantly be the best CM in our squad. Wenger would also probably want to spend their budget on a ST and a RB.
Something about Woodward is i think he might be a bit naive, SAF often used to say agents of top players would often call him or Gill about how their client wanted to come to us. But i think they could tell when a player was angling for a better deal at their current club.
