Re: Cesc Fabregas
I think they do but time will tell i would expect them to start selling players
If they had not given a shit then they would not have accepted the fine and instead they would have gone to arbitration but they didnt because almost certainly they thought they would loose (unlike us they have no real prospect of breaking even any time soon now their deal has been reduced)
If they dont think they can win an appeal then realistically they are unlikely to win any future appeals if they dont comply with the terms of the UEFA fine and the fines will only get worse

50m fine is fuck all. They are the richest club without doubt. Backed by a sovereign fund
We're owned by Sheikh Mansour and whilst he is very wealthy he is no match for Qatar.
If they give us 50m for Yaya and we get Fabregas I'll be happy.

Re: Cesc Fabregas
PSG free released Alex so I cant see them selling another defender without buying! Camara (who is 35), Silva and Marquinhos are currently they only CB's. Luiz looks nailed on to go there but even if he does that's only 4 CB's cant imagine a Champions league team starting a season with any less then that. We should sign Cesc and pick up a cheaper CB maybe Balanta, Laporta or Martinez who are young and could learn the trade for a season under MDM or the likes of Dante, Subotic, Agger(we were going mad for his 2 years ago) or Sokratis who would be decent shouts for a much more reasonable fee.

Re: Cesc Fabregas
Getting a too young defender makes no sense to me, as we have Rekik and Nastasic in the making, we need someone who can step up now and partner Kompany while Rekik and Nastasic adapt to our playing style.

Re: Cesc Fabregas
The reason for signing young players is a low fee with big potential, pay 15mil now instead of 40mil next summer. Kompany and MDM looked very solid towards the end of the season, and fully fit Nastasic with a solid pre season could be back to his best. We need another CB for cover and I would take Cesc and give Rekik a shot but I think he could be sold as he not first team football and cant imagine his being first choice here.

Re: Cesc Fabregas
Demichelis got better late in the season but no way should he our starting CB.....I think he best fits a backup role or short term starter....you only need to watch the Barcelona game to see why we need to improve this area.....

Someone posted it somewhere that the reason Demichelis got better is that Pellegrini moved the high line back 10 yards.

Re: Cesc Fabregas
Abu Dhabi is richer than Qatar.
Sheikh Mansour is backed by the state of Abu Dhabi, surely that is why Mancini thanked the king of Abu Dhabi in his fa cup winners speech. - I know that is not the official line but it has got to be true.
Sheikh Mansour bought us to promote Abu Dhabi. Why would he do this if Abu Dhabi were not involved in putting money in themselves.
When I say Abu Dhabi I mean the state and their money.
