You see the irony here? You wishing United fans would stop wishing their life away is probably more fanciful than United fans wishing we would sign a midfielder.
OK maybe not more, but both are pretty fanciful.

Back to the Kroos thread then? Or stop kidding ourselves signing world class players and go straight to the James McCarthy thread?
yeah i should have said, I wish United fans would just shut up about Fab, its clear we're not interested since LVG took over
I think there's another tiwst in the story.
In what way?
Agreed. Don't think there is a agreement with Chelsea. The 6 weeks after the WC till the end of the transfer window is going to be madness
I dont know, maybe we'll offer him better wages or sthing. There's even news we offered it already, probably bollocks but..
Last year maybe, but he blotted his copy book with us, as far as I am concerned. Surely the way forward is to put your faith in LVG, a seasoned pro?
So theoretically speaking - who would trade Mata for him?
Not I.
Nope, I wouldn't. I'd rather we bought someone who would sit back at the half way line and support Mata. Let him have the opportunity to run around wherever he wants - like a free range chicken with a great beard.
Me in a heartbeat. A player who was more than capable of owning PL midfields before he turned 18. A creative CM. We have Kagawa who with a player like Cesc could easily blossom into the player he was at Dortmund.
Nah I'd trade Rooney for him though.
anchor him next to a DM and we would be class
Fabregas as the most advanced of a midfield 3 would be sweet.
Would alternatively allow us to stick Rooney at 10.
Not that i have anything against that loveable beardy scamp Mata.
That would solve a few of our selection dilemmas
Why so?
I love the guy but a CM is more important we seen already Mata in the team doesnt help it function any better because of the glaring hole right behind him. Doesnt matter if its Rooney, Kagawa or Mata in there the midfield gets overrun. We have semi-replacements for Mata. Cesc is a brilliant midfielder regardless of how Barca utilised him in there system.
yes but their job as a journalist is to report the info they receive. whether they are getting used or not. We don't have much else to go off of so it's no surprise if fans choose to side with what ducker has said, even if it came from Woodpecker Ed himself.
He will be ours, oh yes, he will be ours.
Not me. I would rather have Mata.
I pray that you are right I would love to see cesc suit up for united
I think, it's tied to the Rakitic deal. Once Barcelona secure Rakitic, the Fabregas transfer will probably happen soon after.
Let's be honest here. None of the following will be signing for us this summer.
Fabregas
Pogba
Vidal
Kroos
Koke
Might as well save ourselves a lot of trauma and just accept that now.

I am not gonna let this thread die 
Most posters don't like his tweets, but I think he is not as bad as some of us think.

He does get somethings right. If i recollect correctly, he called the mata transfer perfectly. Looks like cesc chose chelsea over us.
The only thing guillem is reliable about is barcelona. May be barca are leaking everything just to raise the price.spain will go a long way in the world cup so I think we will have to wait alot of time to find out. I think it will be chelsea though.His gf in london is a big factor. Inly way we get him is offer about 50 k /week more than our nearest bidder.
I wouldn't blame him for choosing Chelsea over us. They can offer similar wages, he can live in a better city and play in a better team.
Ballague was also first with Torres to Chelsea I think. He's annoying but is connected with the Premier League based Spanish players.
was he the first regarding the thiago stories aswell ?
I wouldn't, Mata is statiscally better, he provide more goals and more assists. He also can play an entire season without disapear around January-February. And Mata is a gentleman while Fabregas isn't.
This. We'd need to offer a pretty sizeable premium on what they are offering, which is undoubtedly a very nice pay packet already. In other words, not happening.
Except mata is a 10 while cesc can play as a CM
Doesn't matter Van Gaal plays generally a 4-2-3-1 system that he calls 4-3-3 because he considers AMs as Midfielders.
If Fabregas was a defensively sound box to box, i would have swapped him because we have Kagawa but it's not the case.
Announcement tomorrow.
Day the World Cup commences? Doubt it.
We have an ITK in the house.
