Well Irwin will have contacts within the club.

This was a bit unexpected! The way the BBC are reporting this as a fact would very much show that its true and a bid has been made, and you would expect (hope!) that has been made having got assurances from both the club and player, that a deal is possible.
But so far, its been worth it just to see Pete's reaction

Lost credibility when they announced Thiago was due for a medical.
Oh dear...
Moyes launches furious attack on Fabregas:

Only last week I was infracted for abusing you Steve, but look at us now, best of ... enemies.
I'll get you, Steve, one day!
It's been said before, but Barca's silence is promising. They surely would have rejected it by now if they had absolutely no intention of selling.
That got me really excited when first posted so I was surprised to see it being quashed so quickly.
Think Fabregas himself would be a much bigger stumbling block than Barca in all honesty, really doubt he would move to us.
The last time the BBC reported a bid as fact was when RVP joined.
FAbregON!!!
With all jokes aside though, my head still hurts from the Thiago Alcuntara saga.
I do not think my poor heart can take another month of muppet madness

Your vagabond family stole my incinerator! Allegedly!

You know you are going to get involved. You're here now.. there is no escape!
I don't get why Barca has to reject anything publicly just because United has leaked an alleged bid for Fabregas?
Their "silence" doesn't say shit to be honest.

We need RVP to get Cesc's 'little boy' to scream Man Utd.
And while he's at it, he can wrote on Cesc's ball too.

By now? It's been 4 hours.
The club already said this Summer they had no intention of selling him.
How do you actually know you've been infracted? I honestly don't know?
Right, I assume the club knows enough about Fabregas to know he'll at least consider moving here. They'd hardly bid for a player knowing he'd have no intention of joining. Also, Barcelona accepting a bid could also persuade Fabregas that his career lies elsewhere.
Then you've never been infracted, cause you're not cool.
(you receive an automatic PM from a mod)
I just can't believe we would submit an official bid without at least sounding out the agent/player before... it would be useless to talk to the club, and yeah, I'm aware it's not exactly legal, but common practise, to do it this way (i.e. tapping up without actually tapping up). This is what makes me raise an eyebrow... I guess we already talked to the agent (at least), and Barcelona haven't rejected the bid yet. So there might be a slight chance after all IMO.
Agreed
True, the bid might have already been rejected. They are not going to sell him for £26m and if we are indeed going to follow this with another bid, which is probably the case, then it'll take at least another 3-4 weeks to finalise this transfer knowing our speed when it comes to transfer sagas. We certainly won't sign him by the end of July.
I got a thread ban.
This will all end in tears.
It would take another 3-4 weeks to finalize another bid.
Yeah, the fact that we've opened with £25m suggests this could take a while. It's the right way to do things considering we're a club who do not have unlimited funds but sometimes you do have to envy the Bayern approach of "how much is the buyout? meh, whatever, just take it and gimme him".
After Thiago, I'm never looking at another transfer thread the same way again. I wasn't too excited about Hazard/Moura et al, because they weren't centre mids.. the thought of getting Thiago was too much to handle. Fabregas used to be my ideal midfielder for us, but i'm not too sure of his ability in deeper positions as I haven't seen him play there in ages. If we've got shitloads of money, why not put in an offer for Gundogan!
I am thinking that we must have had some encouragement from Cesc to put a bid in. He and RvP are big mates so there is unquestionably a link there.
This bid does lend credibility to Thiago 'not being a priority'. You can see how his contract demands and his lack of experience might have sown seeds of doubt in Moyes's mind. Cesc is a proven Premier League player. Cesc will know that if he joins us then he will get a starring role in his preferred position, rather than being moved from pillar to post in the shadow of Xavi and Iniesta. He will likely get a nice pay rise too.

Probably yours
I get an email from the club with insider information every few days.
Bid goes in hours after RVP re-joins squad... hmmmm
Naah, transfers dont work the legal way mate. There's no way we'd make a bid and then haggle with barca on the fee etc for weeks only to be told "not interested" by fabregas when we're finally given permission to talk to him. the first contact has to be with the player's camp to know if he's interested.
Yeah me too, I'm known in those circles as a "Subscriber", it's quite the royal title I'll have you know.
I fell asleep and I've woken up feeling shitty with no more Fabregas news. FML.

Anderson will probably drink all the fecking tears.
This is Thiago thread MK II. There will be approximately 8 new pages and no new news every time you return.
Just like the Suarez deal, there has been a massive, deliberate leak on at least one side.
So you actually think Fabregas is open to the move and now it's between us and Barcelona?
deal reportedly stalled as Anderson will not promise not to shit on fabregas.
