Holy CRAP BALLS!!
This is setting us up for another letdown.. it really is
 
We all come on here just to convince ourselves that these things are happening don't we? Personally do not believe if they did not have a lot of confidence of it going through that they would even mention it. Bit like Pep with Thiago last week.

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?

Find that cnut The Equalizer & get our war-chest off him... Its probably just a Man United Bank Card in his suit jacket inside-pocket..!
 
I don't get why he needs to fly back to Manchester to settle Fabregas transfer, wouldn't it be easier to get him and his team to fly to Spain to negotiate the transfer?

Poor bastard has just come off a near 24 hr flight - thats the last thing he wants to see... he'll be using this: http://home.efax.com/s/r/efax-pro-uk?VID=40409 - Jobs a goodun!
 
Its difficult to judge because of the new personnel, but in general, the club only sticks these things on the website when they are fairly confident of the outcome, there have been the odd exception, Ramsey for instance, but usually, they avoid publicly discussing specific deals until its very advanced.

I'm guessing Fabregas probably wants regular first team football this year because of the world cup, and first team football in his best position with a chance of competing well in high profile games at that.We can offer more there than Barca can.

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.

...or from our propaganda unit of The Red Muppet Army workin hard in HQ :devil:
 
Lube at the ready folks, today's going to be a long ass day and I don't want to get to get heat burns.
 
I doubt anything is going to happen today. We might hear something from Moyes tomorrow after the match.

When is the next Barca press conference/match interview?
 
Irwin: Fabregas top target for United

ESPN staff
June 9, 2013​


Former Manchester United defender Denis Irwin has claimed the club 'are going to move heaven and earth' in their bid to sign Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas this summer.
Arsenal are believed to have a first option to re-sign their former captain if he opts to quit the Primera Division champions and return to the Premier League, but Irwin suggests United are convinced they can win the race for the 26-year-old Spain international.
Irwin was among the first pundits to reveal United's interest in Arsenal striker Robin van Persie last year and now the respected former left-back, who still works as an ambassador at Old Trafford, has revealed that Fabregas is their latest top target.
"Cesc Fabregas has zoomed up Manchester United's transfer target list to the top position and the champions are going to move heaven and earth to get him," he told the Sunday World newspaper.
"The Barcelona star wants out of the Nou Camp and United want him badly, so the deal should be done easily enough. Fabregas is just the sort of all-action midfield player United need if they are to make a run at next season's Champions League.
"Cesc won't be short of offers for I believe this is going to be a transfer season where eye-boggling amounts of money will be spent."
Irwin also predicted United will make a bid for Everton's Leighton Baines and Southampton's Luke Shaw, while suggesting winger Nani and Patrice Evra will leave Old Trafford this summer as new boss David Moyes prepares to take over from Sir Alex Ferguson.
"Nani will go to Monaco and Patrice Evra may well return to the same club, from whom he joined United," Irwin added. "I've also heard a word that the new manager might have Luke Shaw at the top of his list. The teenage Southampton full-back is the latest in a long line of prodigies from that club's excellent youth system."

Old story but that is the only two players we've officially been in for thus far.
 
Could it really be?

During muppet season I feel like I'm in a relationship with someone I really love, but who constantly abuses me.. "Oh, I fell in the stairs again".
