Fabregas

They will end up getting feillani and say he offers something they dont have and cleverly can fill the fabregas role or at least thats what ragcafe and the press will spout with their shared braincell anyone with more than 1 braincell will call bullshit.
 
This is becoming embarrassing for United....making a bid public for a player they had no hope of getting....very strange....and beginning to look just a bit like Arsenal and their dealings in the transfer market.

One thing puzzles me. The rag PR machine is an expert at spinning things to put the rags in a good light i.e. the Thiago snub. Why would they sanction briefing the tame journo's about a Fabregas bid if it didn't have any legs because if you're all right then they are on a second hiding to nothing over it. Not saying they will get him but stranger things have happened.

Because there's a world of difference between a player "snubbing" a club and another club turning down an offer.

You are correct about united's PR machine. It is a highly useful weapon and something which the Glazers have used to great effect. In spite of Moyes' sophistry and carefully worded "I never said at any time that he was [a target]." statement, which in fact conspicuously avoids denying the fact that he was [a target], it seems clear that united were very interested in Thiago, which is of little surprise given the manifest problems they have in midfield. It seems clear, therefore, that they tried to buy Thiago Alacantra, from Barcelona, but very much on the QT.

Why, therefore, when ostensibly attempting to buy another midfielder from the same club, only a few short days later, is their bid now a matter of public record? Why have they departed from their previous policy of doing their business in secret, complete with all their usual....err.... class?

The only logical explanation is that this situation has been designed with a completely different agenda at hand. There seems no other likely explanation.

Whilst Thiago was always a very real possibility, until Bayern intervened, Fabrigas joining united is, imo, in the realm of fantasy: they have offered significantly less than his buy-out clause, Arsenal have first option, he has stated in pretty unequivocal terms very recently that he does not want to leave the club and most importantly the departure of Thiago added to the advancing ages of both Xavi and Iniesta mean that Fabrigas is close to achieving something he has aspired to since his move from Arsenal (and in truth all of his adult life) which is a totemic and central role at the heart of Barcelona's midfield. To me, given what I understand about Fabrigas' personal journey, it would seem utterly preposterous if he decided to leave Barca to join any other club in world football at this moment in time. I am sure he would back himself to really come to the fore at the Nou Camp in the next couple of seasons - and who could blame him for that? The notion that he would give that opportunity up, just when the dream he has harboured for so long could be fully realised, to go and play for David Moyes, is almost too absurd for words.

This is all before one considers Barcelona's position in all this. Given all that I have previously posted about the changing landscape of their midfield, they would be insane to deplete it further. It would make absolutely no sense.


And I strongly suspect united know that.

Pretty much a transcript of my conversation with a United fan today.

If Fabregas goes to United I will put my testicles in a blender.
 
Scum's transfer window is very reminiscent of ours last summer. Fuck all
happened until the last day.

I think City should put in a bid for him, say £30m, even if we aren't too serious. Get Barca's rulers ears pricked up, invite a scramble for him and leave Moyes and Wenger disappointed at their inability to pull in the quality that their supporters feel is their birthright.
 
It just keeps getting better and better.

Moyes and United have earlier today briefed they will be making a bid for Fellaini.

So expect that tomorrow.

The same wanker Moyes who described United's £12m interest last season in Baines as derisory and slagged us for tapping up Lescott.

What a team United will have next season, eh?

Bale, Ronaldo, Strootman, Thiago, Fabregas, Baines and Garay.

I suppose that's what an unlimited budget does for you.

It's hilarious. So transparent as well - love the briefing to the press that Moyes "had concerns" about Thiago's ability to cope with the physical side of the PL. Yeah right!

So he's turned out to be Hughes mark2. Trying to buy players he's already bought at another club. Bid for Arteta anyone?
