He definitely did the "phone call" signal with his hand towards the stand, where his agent is sitting, telling him to get on the blower to get us to sign him after he scored that goal. It's back on lads!!!

So Barca is going to sell Fabregas to us, Thiago to Real, Tello and Deulofeu to Dortmund and Villa to Arsenal.
In return they will buy Neymar.
Sounds legit.

Cesc just did a follow up interview "those quotes are false, I will join Man Utd and together we will rule the world. Arsenal are well shit, innit."
Deulofeu's going nowhere. Tello might get a move with a buyback option, and one of Thiago and Fabregas might move.
That's my guess at the situation, anyway.

You're mixing him up with van Cuntie.

Cesc: "Exit rumours in the press? There's nothing to say. I'm very happy at Barça, I want to stay here for many, many more years."

Whether or not that quote is real, it always seemed a little unlikely that so soon after his dream move 'back home' to Barca he'd want out, especially as Tito has given him so much playing time despite questions over his form.
Thiago is the one whose game time has been limited recently, and the quotes from figures inside the club (and that MD headline) suggest that he's the one who might be available, not Fabregas.

No way we'd get Cesc - he's almost ready to step into Xavis shoes
we'd have a better chance of getting Thiago if we tempted them with a decent offer

You mean if we tempted them with the £15m release clause he has? The only problem would be if he would actually want to come here, as I don't think he'd require huge wages yet.
Almost ready to step into Xavi's shoes? Also there is no tempting Barca for Thiago. There is talk about us already triggering his release clause. So Barca cant really do anything about it unless Thiago rejects everyone and stays at the Nou Camp.
Who's shirt is that?
Apparently it's Rooney'sWho's shirt is that?
I don't get it.
I guess they are indirectly trying to say Cesc doesnt like United since he left his jersey on the field.
He threw it on the floor I think.
Ah, okay...
That, or he absolutely despises Rooney.
Well atleast he'll bring passion. Imagine him doing that with a hazard shirt.
Read thread..
See.....see......HA IF Cesc says it as well I must be right
Can we not just have this thread open until our dreams to sign a CM come true?
Oh Christ, some papers just don't know when to stop do they?
The best selling 'paper in England. You've got to laugh, really.
£40m?
I wouldn't care if we paid £60m, he's one of the best midfielders in the world and its not my money. Bullshit story, though.
£40m?
Do you think that's a ridiculous figure for Fabregas or something?
so that's that then....moving on
Yes, I do. If he were to leave it would be because he has failed to establish himself and since joining Barca he's been extremely underwhelming. I don't see why we should pay more than Barca paid Arsenal given that, if anything, his stock is lower than before. £30m absolute max for me.
I don't think he's been particularly underwhelming. He's at a side where it's difficult to always get a game in central midfield because of how strong they are there. He's clearly a top quality player and if you want to buy a player like him then a fee like £40m is going to be completely normal in the modern game.
£40m? I would have loved it if we blew that much Javi Martinez last year.
I suspect he has regressed at Barcelona. At very best, he is what he was at Arsenal minus some confidence.
40 million is way over priced.

Failed to dislodge Xavi or Iniesta, he must be shit.
I do think £40m is a bit too much, but it's not my money so who cares?
I'd be thrilled to get Fabregas...don't think Barcelona will expect more than 30m for him. But in any case, if he does end up leaving (he wont), he would only go to Arsenal, unless Arsene Wenger doesn't want him (again unlikely, as he mentioned long ago the chances of him coming back someday). So he either stays at Barca or goes back to Arsenal. Nothing to see here for us....moving on to the next target.
