Fabregas

[Mr. Aguia]

A lot of you seem confident that next season will be a two horse race between you and Chelsea, and United will get left in the dust fighting for third or fourth. Assuming we (I'm a United fan) sign Fabregas, what would your honest opinions be of the top three squads in comparison with each other?

He's a great palyer but I still don't think he would be enough. Your midfield is weak as are your CB's. Unless you upgrade them you aren't winning anything. Won a very poor PL last year because of Fergie. Had an awful defence last year and Rio is another year older and he and Vidic can't play regular due to injuries. Without Fergie this squad isn't a title winning side.

Manure know they won't get Fabregas. It's easy bidding for a player that isn't for sale.

Keeps the fans happy but uncle Malc will only allow a budget of 30-40M

I'm not, whoever finishes above Utd will win the league, if you get the two on your wish list Fabregas and Bale we can forget about the league, problem is Spuds know without Bale they won't make top four and Barca have no need to sell. Even if you sign Fellaini and or Cabaye it will improve your midfield. Thats how I see it anyway, no point trying to predict who will win until the window has closed and you can actually see who has got what and where, even then it is no guarantee.

Agreed. I think we'll need a defensively able box-to-box De Rossi-esque player, someone with a presence, as well as a player such as Fabregas, if we're really to harden our midfield.

Disagree on your point about the CB's, I think that's one of our strongest positions. Injury proneness was and might be an issue there, though - playing Carrick at CB at the start of last season being an example. Ferdinand, while not half of what he was, is still a very capable centre half, but we'll be seeing a lot more of Jonny Evans in place of him. Vidic is still a top player, and I think it's more his presence on the pitch that effects the game more than his actual ability as a defender, in terms of both moral of his team mates and intimidating the opponent.

Thing is, we've got no CB's in their prime, we've got two capable young'uns in Jones and Smalling, a lad who's not far from his prime in Evans, and two aging but still effective players in Ferdinand and Vidic, so in that sense you make a reasonable point - it's probably why we're supposedly in for Garay.

i just laugh my head off watching the rags desperately trying to sign a player who treated their former manager so badly by throwing pizza all over him. courting him in public makes them look like a joke tbh. their fans are just as bad, never had a good word to say about fabregas cos of this, now best thing since sliced bread. happy days.

It doesn't keep the fans happy. It raises false hopes and makes them look like amateurs

If you have a look at #MUFC Twitter Feed it's full of fans expressing the same views as on here

I think centre half is one of your strongest positions too a fair range of ages and all decent. Fabregas would be exactly what you're missing in midfield, whether you get him is another thing. But if you did you'd challenge for the title. I don't think a great deal is going to change at United. United play a certain system and style and it's not greatly deep tactically but it is effective. The system will remain with Moyes, that's why Fergie brought him in.

Gollum won't get the same out of them that bacon face did. Ours and Chelsea's squad are better than yours, even if you sign Fabregas,
Even though he was a massive ****, he was a great manager. No way will Gollum emulate what the GPC did.

Moyes: Ed`s had a response and he`s dealing with it.

No no no Davey..... Ed`s had a response and it ends in OFF, and he can`t deal with it.

I think it's Fabregas' camp that is encouraging offers from Manure to strengthen his position towards Barca, he wants to know them that he's still an A-list player and he wants a more preeminent role in next season, but i don't think he really wants to leave.
