They haven't lost Thiago yet, he hasn't signed on the dotted line.
I was wandering through a Barcelona forum, I don't think it's the main one as it doesn't seem very active, but a post from June...
I wonder if this is the general outlook of Barcelona fans on Fabregas, and if that's the case it probably isn't so far fetched that Barcelona might want to get rid and get another midfielder on probably lower wages.
Replying to a rumor regarding an offer of €47m from United. He said he'd wrap him in a paper with a ribbon, put perfume on it, and gladly take him to the airport so that they could sign a properly good CM such as Gundogan.

Yeah lets hope Barcelona never read that Quote
Why bidding for him if we know he doesn't want to leave his club?

If Fabregas moves to#MUFC, I will ask an #AFC fan to hold the ladder steady before I climb to the topmost rung and fart in his face.

If Fabregas joins United I will burn my Cesc shirt and film it for twitter.

If Fabregas returns to the EPL in a shirt that doesn't have a cannon on it, I'll officially be done with any concept of player loyalty.
I want this to happen so much for the above reasons.

Can't understand this 'We're only bidding to appease the fans after missing out on Thiago' line.
Appease the fans? Have you met the Glazers?

I can't get even remotely interested in this as I think there is zero chance of it happening.
Actually more than 9 years, didn't like him at Everton, didn't want us to sign him and will be glad to see him go.
I'm not keen on Cesc as a person but, in fairness, I always thought RVP was a bolshy sod despite admiring his brilliance. So, if Cesc plays for us, I'll forget that I once thought he was a gonk.
Lot of ifs in that sentence.
We'll do all the work the Wenger will say 'I want him' and he'll sign for Arsenal - Watch this space!
Bite!
Bite!
We may have been in discussion with Barca since before today.
Good
textbook you're on form today, twice you made me laugh.Surely we've had some encouragement if we're taking the step of actually bidding?
£25m eh? Well, we are the kings of negotiation and not getting our man after these amazing negotiations.
"£25m"
"No
"Hmm, £25m + a few add ons"
"£40m"
"Too much, £25m"
"Ok, £35m"
"Nah, £25m"
"We're not going below £35m"
"Ok how about £30m"
"hmm, we'll settle for £32.5m."
"£31m and we have a deal"
"Ok £31m."
"... £25m"
"£25m"
"No
"Hmm, £25m + a few add ons"
"£40m"

Has not done it in a 2 man midfield on a cold night in stoke for at least two years now. Do not want.
Wow this is surprising to say the least. We've all spent the last month thinking Thiago was our main target for the summer and now all of a sudden we're bidding for Fabregas. Can't say I'm not happy about it though! Whether we'll get him is another matter, but it's good to see we're in for him. 26M isn't a terrible starting bid, if we're willing to increase it by another 10-15M they'll have to start thinking about it. In the next few weeks we'll find out if Moyes means business.
At least he is a midfielder...........if he scores against le Arse I may warm to him
Stop it, I'm getting way too optimistic and excited here!
If Barca accept any bid, I'm pretty sure Arsenal have a £25m option.
There's no 'reject bid' button on a fax machine.
I say we bid 30 million for messi while we're at it.
I want nothing more than to give peterstorey a profile picture of Cesc & RvP holding the premier league trophy aloft, in Utd shirts.
Can people with the opinion that this is a PR exercise please explain how not signing Fabregas makes up for not signing Thiago?
I'm sure he was. It's hardly coincidence that we're now bidding for Fabregas after the Thiago saga ended.
Straight swap for Rooney. Makes sense.
Two things:
1) This is widely reported, and the BBC have gone with it as the lead story - it's clearly got legs (more so than the Thiago deal ever did, I might add).
2) Arsenal may have first refusal, but there's not a thing they can do if Cesc rejects them.

We could benefit from Barca's desire for Thiago Silva. It'll be down to Pizzagas, I guess.
That's only if he wants to go there, we could just offer him better wages, and we are comfortably better than them etc....
Someone clearly doesn't have an Amstrad 5000 with built in wireless (radio)
