I thought Moyes looked very relaxed when he uttered, "No you are right, I can't say anything about it".
He was smiling and did not seem unhappy. He didn't confirm it was over, because it isn't, in my opinion.
I am just waiting for the Barca smokescreen before there is a change, probably the signing of a defensive reinforcement.

If we end up flogging Rooney as is looking increasingly likely - I don't see why we couldn't have both Fellaini and Fabregas - I think I may even prefer that then replacing Rooney directly with a striker.
This. They way he smiled looked sneaky. Like 'If only you knew'
That is not a man that has given up, for sure.
This is from Dani Alves:

Sounds like he's trying to convince him to stay. There's something there.

we're analysing the tone of words and expressions on faces now.
We are well into desperate territory!

This is a very promising quote IMO. Fabregas is obviously still thinking about a move away.
I can see us announcing something at very soon.
Don't do this to me guys! I'm trying to not get excited by any of this.
Could have meant anything; a private joke he's earlier shared with some journalists off the record maybe, where Moyes has shared soom more detailed info on the situation about what huge assholes Barca have been or God knows what. Bottom line: I wouldn't read too much into it.This. They way he smiled looked sneaky. Like 'If only you knew
Again we're hearing the "up to him" line. He may just be regurgitating Martino's comments but the comments suggest a couple of things:
1. It is in the hands of Cesc to decide what he wants to do. I would assume that Barca know that we will offer an amount which they would be prepared to accept should Cesc express his wish to leave.
2. Cesc hasn't yet made his mind up. With his supposed appearance at the press conference tomorrow, I would say that is Barca trying to set him a deadline - either attend the press conference and confirm you're staying or tell us you're leaving and we'll send a replacement to face the media.

I just want it to be over one way or the other. The more reliable journos all say we are still interested and confident, yet we don't seem to have tabled a third bid. .. in fact I'm not certain we made a second. I wonder if we are just waiting for last day of transfer window to table or final bid. Risky strategy. But our 'strategy'has been bizarre this summer anyway. I don't get it anymore
Why aren't you sure we made a second? It was confirmed by the club.
It would be stupid to wait till the last day when they can't bring in any replacements if they wish to. If we are to make another bid it'll probably be some time soon.
Just bid 45M, please. Or 50 m if that's what it takes. It'll make the apparent incoming tree more bearable.
Fabregas needs to make the decision so everybody knows where they stand. He needs to decide if he wants to be a bit part player at Barca or a main player at United.
Spacegoats to the left of me
Spacegoats to the right
Will certainly be an interesting press conference tomorrow.
Was it confirmed? I can't remember. Actually, was it confirmed by moyes in press conference?
I just don't get where our confidence comes from. (I don't mean confidence that fab will join us but confidence that they will accept a bid). We must have an idea of an amount that would be accepted. It's s risky game to play though, need to get it done ASAP.
If we end up signing Fabregas, I think all the smug cnuts who came in here laughing at people who thought it was on should be named and shamed.
Breaking SSN Barca have bid for Luiz. Maybe they waiting for a singing before selling?
If he's giving a press conference with Barcelona then I think its likely he's going to stay with them.
What, buying Luiz to replace Fabregas?
The straws being clutched here are getting ever more fragile.
fecks sake, if all they wanted is for us to sing a song to them then this should've been over weeks ago.
Woodward is so thick.
Maybe they see him as Puyol's replacement and they can then get Mascherano playing in midfield?
The change in tone from the Barca camp (players and coaches at least) is a promising sign. We've moved from 'he loves the club and will never leave' to 'he can do whatever the feck he wants', essentially.
Well, no. However it could be PR damage control for fans to buy a defender they need before selling fab. Could look at it from our point of view. If we sold Rooney for example as daft as it sounds, it would feel worse from fans point of view if we sold him before bringing a 'Marquee' signing in, however, if fab was already a utd player it may cushion the blow.
Also barca may prefer it this way round from a financial point of view. If they bid say 27m for Luiz after having just sold fab to us for 35m, then Chelsea will pay hard ball knowing the money barca have in the bank. Perhaps less so If the other way round.
Yes. . that is clutching at straws, I'm trying
I love this time of year :-D
I don't think it's about the money anymore, by the looks of it.
Maybe we could offer Fabregas an extra £10K a week to seal it though?
interesting round robin with clubs involved - we tell Chelsea that they can have Rooney if they let Luiz go to Barca so we can sign Fab...

Its always about the money.
I don't think it's the money on fabs end, it's all about barca
It would be good if Barca are using the Cesc money to pay for Luiz, which in turn gives Chelsea the additional funds to put in a proper bid for Rooney.
I think we should include quotes from people in this thread in the title too.
United in for Fabregas | buildabonfire: "we tell Chelsea that they can have Rooney if they let Luiz go to Barca so we can sign Fab..."

If we ever got to contract negotiations he'd be close to doubling his current wages without a doubt.
I'd feel a little less anxious about Rooney going to the Chavs if we got Fabregas in. I'd prefer him to go abroad, or to Arse, though.
Ok now go, walk out the door!
Luiz vs Ramos in el clasico, elbows flying everywhere.
