Going to be quiet around here with all the muppet suicides. I hope Niall can keep things going with the vastly reduced traffic.

A layer of thin muscle followed by skin and hair, you?
Until you hear it from Moyes mouth, it is still on.
These media muppets haven't got a story and they make it up as they go along.
If have actually witnessed, at a place that will stay anonymous, the BBC fabricating a story. After we challenged it, they apologised and dropped it pronto.
The BBC is no longer the reputable source it once was and haven't been for several years.
I hate Sky, but I think they have a better grasp on things, but only just.

Boneless freak!!
Feck, how did I forget my own skull?!
Cesc isn't the first player to publicly say he wants to stay at his club - he's hardly likely to say otherwise. And I don't think you can say Barca are on record as saying they won't sell, certainly not on the basis of what that VP fella said. In fact, the only cast iron word we've had from their end was from Tito, and he didn't exactly issue a hands-off message, did he?
I'm heartened by the fact that we've gone public, we're still chasing (would we do that if Barca were insistent on not sellng?) and there hasn't been a proper hands-off from Barca (a la United with Rooney).
It's funny how the media frames similar situations completely differently depending on the club in question. Chelsea are slowly going through the gears in relation to Rooney, and yet that's widely viewed as a dead cert; we're doing the same with Fabregas and we're no hopers. Go figure.
The difference is Rooney blatantly wants to move. With Cesc we can't be sure, if he is given any assurance he's the rightful heir to Xavi and they really want him, he'll stay.
Are there "Oversight of the year" awards in the annual caf awards?
It happens this time of year.
As ever, I'm very much in the 'there's no fecking way this is going to happen' camp.
However, playing devil's advocate: we wouldn't have gone in with a second bid if the private response to the first had been 'no, he's not for sale, feck off.' So is it not possible that Rosell is maintaining the 'he's not for sale' stance in public so that if Fabregas moves, it will look like he forced his way out? That way the fans get to blame the disloyal cnut agitating for a move, rather than the greedy boss selling a beloved cantera graduate in exchange for a big wad of cash.
It's the same thing that people suggested was going on with Thiago when Barca said he wasn't going anywhere, and lo and behold he ended up at Bayern.

It's always the last place you look.
Not picking on you, but I see this way too much. Anybody who has watched Xavi and Fabregas will know that they are VERY different players. Fabregas won't replace Xavi.
Of course, you don't find something and keep looking for it. Although I wouldn't put it past me tonight.
He'll replace Anderson.
Turn that shit off
I did oh almighty lord, I didn't realise it had reactivated when you blessed us all with an update.
I very much doubt that Cesc wants to move. IMO, his agent is using United's interest to secure a better future for Fabregas at Barca.
Haha it happens. Pet peeve
It's an opinion. And it's a valid one. Could well be true.
Based on nothing, except it has been done in the past.
And, conversely, the opposite has been done in the past, i.e. a player moving club.
I think Fabregas is coming, I know this because I think he likes Unicorns.
It's an opinion so it MUST be valid.
It's an opinion so it MUST be valid.
And it could well be nonsense. Sorry, I'm just railing against the excessive negativity in this thread. There's so much pessimism amongst our fan base at the moment. People are ready to call the whole thing off on the basis of nothing Tweets and refuse to believe there could be anything in it despite decent sources saying so.
It's almost as good as "Where did you last have it?"
Of course, you don't find something and keep looking for it. Although I wouldn't put it past me tonight.
Well, if I fecking knew that....
Their probably waiting on seeing how much we get for Rooney, then invite us to hand over that cash.
Unicorns are just upgraded horses anyways. I'm sure Fabregas thinks they're better.
It's not negativity to point out that agents will always encourage bids for their client, even if it is just to get a better deal from their current club. It's just realism.
Negativity about this deal is mostly driven by it not making any sense for Barca to sell.
Better people to be cynical about the whole transfer business than wrapping themselves in fantasies. Because when it comes to the agents and the football media there is plenty to be cynical about.
They should probably tell us that and we'll work it out.
Realism is fine. But the oft-pedalled view that we're doing this as a PR exercise isn't realistic, it's fecking ridiculous.
It's ok, I've got a plan. Meet me at the Nou Camp in an hour with some glue and an ice cream cone. We'll sort this shit for good, yo.
Well hoof it then.
