They were never going to come out and say thanks for the bid, most kind of you.
It was always going to be a Rooneyesque, the player won't be leaving, the player is staying or in this case the player wants to stay.
Had Fabregas shouted that he wanted to leave the situation for him could easily have become untenable, should we not up the bid to Barcas acceptable level.
If Moyes has been given the heads up to go for it by Fabregas' agent, the bids will follow and he will be secured.
All conjecture, but you can be sure if we see another improved bid, then it truly is on behind the scenes.
He ought to be at OT, earning a proper wage.
