Arsenal fans seem convinced he would go back to them if he was available.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.

Bless them.
1. But where did the quote "urgent transfer business" come from?
2. As has been pointed out, if Woodward had to scramble home for a transfer it may not be good news. It may because the transfer plans are unravelling.
3. If united do not get any marquee signings then it will be useful to say " we tried!"
If we lose out to Arsenal I will perform muppet suicide.
Martinez was bought was around 40 million wasn't he? Fabregas is better, surely?
This is great. With Moyes in Australia we get some early morning muppetry as well.
I still have no idea why Fabregas would want to join us or why Barcelona would want to sell.

Since they are lacking in really big players they can sell this summer, would Fabregas leaving Barca but not returning to Arsenal be considered almost like the annual losing another big player?
They seem to think that he bums Wenger so much that he would choose leaving one of the top two teams in the world to a team battling for 4th place in their domestic competition.
Oh you. Go away with your reasonable logical arguments. There is no room for stuff like that during Muppet season.
Get RVP on the case. De Gea, you're fired as our tap-up specialist. Step forward RVP and tap-up your best mate.
To be honest, to me, its not exactly what Moyes said - because i found that kinda open to interpretation that The Equalizer was just gonna follow up on the bid, but its the headline on our website: "David Moyes has confirmed Manchester United are in negotiations to sign midfielder Cesc Fabregas from Barcelona"
They're actually goin full-muppet on this one too, because we're in fecking talks about gettin him - they'd never put that up there unless its happening.. Oh Yes, oh yes indeeedy - as Stu Allen would say on Key 103
RVP is good at everything, the sexy Dutch bastard.
This is unbearable. I mean, I still don't see why Barcelona would sell him, I still can't imagine Fabregas wanting to come here - but he would be so perfect. And the club, well, the manager of the club, actually confirmed the negotiations are happening.
It will be horribly painful to miss out on him after all this. I tried to remain cold and cynical but Moyes' declaration ruined that plan, now I'm trembling like a virgin girl on a first date.

Well thats just ludicrous, why would he want to go back to not winning anything for the rest of his career?
"Moyesey, Moyesey Sign him up!"
Same here. Makes no sense. Hence I am extra sceptical on this one. Although I guess there's a chance....
I can't help feeling we'll end up with egg on our face. I'd like to trust that Moyes and Woody know what they're doing, but this hunt for Fabregas just seems pointless to me.
Would love it if I am wrong, though.

1. Not sure exactly, but the term has been widely reported by the media.
2. Fair enough, but if any current transfers that could potentially unravel are at an advanced stage, how has the club kept it under wraps given everything is being leaked to the media? It seems more likely that he flew back about a potential transfer than a transfer unraveling.
3. I personally think that'd be even worse for the club, since it would imply that our pulling power/ability to attract top players isn't as great as it used to be (which is worse than having money problems).
Maybe he just wants to be loved. Ronaldo is a prime example of the Spanish muppets not being able to lace the boots of our muppets.
Can't think any strong reason of why Fab would want to join us; other than he wants to make a name for himself, instead of living under the shadow of Messi and Iniesta (and probably Neymar later on).
Carrick - Fab - Kagawa - Mata - v.Persie. What should a man do to make this dream comes true?

I'm skeptical too but I'm not how much sense it makes to publicise our negotiations unless we're confident of making it happen.

I'm going full muppet mode too but keep in mind that the persons who maintain the website are not privy to inside information from Moyes/Woodward. They often post transfer gossip and rumors just like other tabloids and are just as big muppets as the rest of us

I still remember when we announced the signing of Aaron Ramsey. What a disaster.

I wonder if our fans will go all mental over Moyes being extremely disrespectful to Barcelona like they did when Pep spoke about Thiago.

Oh i know that Bob, but thats just what the papers are reporting - and thats them reporting that. That headline doesnt get any more confirming that ITS ON!
Once I see something reported on bbc.co.uk I'm usually a whole lot more confident, so this is looking positive!
"The Red Muppet Army will be rapin n' pillaging & coming to a town near you..."
Moyes setting himself up for a fall? If this backfires we could look like idiots. Maybe Moyes knows more than he is letting on. Still think Fabregas will not want to leave Barca.
I'm a little skeptical about this bid to, is it just us trying to show our financial muscle.
Exceptional transfer. If United pull this off it sets a new prescedent as far as I'm concerned. Fabregas is for me one of the top 5 central midfielders in world football. I for one never expected the midfield question to be answered with one of the best there is. I've been skeptical so far this summer but this will be a massive statement from the club.
Oh he must be happy if he travels home 3 days early to go home, take a phonecall and be told to get stuffed
Same as we are about Ronnie, so i wouldnt rub it in to them if we get Fab....
Bollox that - paint your fecking house with Fabregas' face on it....
He misses all those wonderful triangles that Arsenal used to love to play.... Triangles.... hmmmmmm..!
Arsenal have other priorities, no way they will stump out money needed to buy back Cesc.
