Brilliant Apotheosis
Is that the full quote, one word?
Destabilize? By putting in an official bid for him?
If anything Barca have destabilized Cesc themselves, by opting to consider our offers despite Cesc stating his obvious desire to stay where he is.
I would have thought it was far more destabilizing to poach a 16yr old boy from his hometown club before he even signs a professional contract. Mercilessly tearing him from the only life he had ever known, then forcing him to play talisman and carry your sorry outfit for at least the last 5 years of his time there. All the while enduring ever increasing mediocrity and stagnation amidst a relentless torrent of empty promises. Before finally, dreams shattered upon his realization that arsenal were in fact crap and going nowhere, Arsenal then showed their gratitude by unashamedly complicating his liberation home with extortionate financial demands.
Yes, you may claim he loves your club and enjoyed his time there, but remember it is quite common for impressionable young abductees to become infatuated with their captors, often even sympathizing with their unfortunate predicament. Is he still emotionally traumatized enough to attempt an incomprehensible return to Arsenal? Hope not for his sake, but you never know, you did manage to repeatedly deceive him before with your fraudulent claims of ambition, and some people are simply gluttons for punishment.
"He's not coming, fatty"someone on the presser thread said this:
Cesc Fabregas:
- Work in progress. We are still working with him.
Which version is correct?
Shut up Skinny Boy!"He's not coming, fatty"
His exact words directed to you.

So basically he'll be a United player come the end of the window. I jus hope we don't forget about our other targets. I think this is long and draw out because Barca don't need to sell and Cesc obviously is happen to stay. So both parties need to be 'brought' around.
What is the thought process behind that wildly optimistic statement? Did you get that from Moyes' "things are ongoing" which, let's face it, is as non-committal as it gets, it's zero information.
If Barca had told us to piss off why would things be "ongoing"?
Because we refuse to piss off, for whatever reason.

The new Barca manager is only flying to Barcelona today. This transfer may well be put to bed during his first press conference. Things may only have seemed to be "ongoing" because he has not had a chance to get involved yet. If he demands that Barca keep Cesc then that is that probably.

Some of you will cling on to anything.
Positive or negative you should add.
I'm on an ipad. So ctrl b and I don't really work given there's no control button. And no way to post smileys either to reflect my jovial nature.Can't you use manual formatting for all that? I never use anything but.

We dont piss off because Barca actually want to sell. Neymar will steal a great deal of games from Fabregas. Also, Barca got plenty of midfielders that are in front of him. This is my opinion though.
Cheers, cider. That's going to be helpful.Just type it out:

That's a green smiley (remove the spaces).

So this thread has really gone cold over the last two days. Apart from apos' awesome post.
I expect better from you...
Why is that? Its not news that Fabregas has been played in positions that may or may not be his preferred position.

.... by a previous manager, bottom line is one a forward, one is a midfielder... they will not cut down each others playing time IMO at all... they are not in direct competition. Everyone saw that Fibreglass will never be a CF
Yes the new manager is going to go there and switch the whole ethos at the club. Obviously he has been well scouted and only a fool would break up Xavi Sergio and Ineista. He plays as part of the front 3 now why would that change.
He plays as an attacking midfielder for them, so he has to compete with Pedro, Sanchez, etc. for 1 spot, as the other two are guranteed (Neymar & Messi).
They're wide players. He's not going to be happy or effective playing on the right wing.
First off, before I reply, I have to ask... You think in your own words 'The whole ethos at the club' is to play with Fabregas as part of the front 3? Because all I said is that he wouldn't be playing as part of the front 3...
