Taylor said:Cesc would be a great addition to our team. Just a surprise that Arsenal don't want to exercise their option to buy first. They won't want him joining a rival.
2 forwards, a holding midfielder, a right back at least away from us, expect them to sign an attacking mid and stay that far away.Marvin said:Of course.whyalwaysyou said:Clearly going to rejoin arsenal IMO
They're assembling a really good team. One forward away from us
Surprising, but Arsenal have amazing depth in midfield (certainly in terms of attacking players).tolmie's hairdoo said:Rammy Blue said:tolmie's hairdoo said:Arsenal were briefing off the record late last night that Fabregas is not for them.
And the information I have is Fabregas coming to City needn't factor in a sale of either Yaya or Aguero, much as it would seem to appear a matter of course.
Fabregas' homegrown status is the big card.
I do not see Fabregas at Chelsea, either. United gone cold.
We have a number of outgoings that will more than free space and budget.
If we receive Spanish bids for Negredo or Navas, I would not be surprised to see us let one of them go.
Are you aware as to whether we have a genuine interest?
I wasn't until last week. I had seen plenty of speculation.
He had not been on City's radar but we have been approached and it's an opportunity we are trying to run with.
The only club I fear is Liverpool. They want to make a statement signing and are going to lose out on the Ukrainian kid to United.

Surely tixi and ferran won't allow the dippers to beat us though? And we have samir, silva, sagna (soon) gael, beast, navas who cesc knows well! Add to the fact the club is growing into a massive global brand he must fancy us over the dippers?

The teams that need a Fabregas are City (no depth in midfield at all), Utd (no creativity at all), and Liverpool who at the moment totally bypass midfield with the balls played into the channels for the front 3. They must know that next season they will need to change their style of play.
Liverpool could guarantee 1st team football, but that wouldn't be a massive problem at City. And we'd guarantee trophies. We also have a much better stage. A 62,000 Etihad will be the best place to play football outside of Wembley.
They need a forward. They were lucky that Giroud stayed injury-free (apart fro 2-3 games). But they have Ramsey and he is the best player in the League, and I include Yaya in that.aguero93:20 said:2 forwards, a holding midfielder, a right back at least away from us, expect them to sign an attacking mid and stay that far away.Marvin said:Of course.whyalwaysyou said:Clearly going to rejoin arsenal IMO

Doesn't matter one jot this "option", Cesc has to still want to go back.

I believe it will be City v Arsenal next season. Question marks about Chelsea (How will Zouma and Kalas do? Still need strikers)
Kun Aguero said:He'd be my dream buy, he'll get as many assists as Silva + more goals, might not be as good out wide as Silva but he could play the deep lying playmaker role.
