Fabregas

[Barcon]

Why is this thread here? If he's a Utd target it should be in the general forum. Couldn't care less about who they may or may not sign.

Because I thought this is a City forum and I thought we had grown bigger than being bothered about them. Just looks a bit sad IMO.

Why are you talking to yourself?

Because you're trying to convince people that you're trying to sign top players, before admitting defeat and signing Leon Osman?

I'd rather we not waste time going after unattainable players and sign someone. There's what, 18 days til kick off? We need to pull our finger out. I think it may be time to walk away and look at other targets.

Dnot be ridiculous Jack! Leon Osman is perfectly attainable!

I reckon its gollum on a covert mission..

I think there's something amiss here. Why are we so publically revealing every step of the negotiations? Barca, it's players, staff and just about everyone else have said he's not for sale, so why are we continuing to dig ourselves into a hole? I just don't understand the thinking unless there is some indication from barca that a deal can be reached.

Your transfer "policy" is getting to be a bit like Grounhog Day. Over and over you're linked with big names and the red tops push it for all its worth and one by one the names either go somewhere else ( Thiago, Strootman) or get quietly dropped aka Ronaldo this time round and Fabregas going the same way. Then the red tops are linking you with lesser names i.e. Modric who again are quietly dropped until you finally end up with them touting the player(s) you were really in for all along, it will probably be Felliaini this year. Is Moyes going to come out and make statements about no value in the market??

That's what I'm worried about haha.

I just hope whoever we sign is up to the task of improving our midfield. I'm not fussed about their star quality or how much they cost or whether they have a sexy foreign name. But the longer this goes on the more I worry about an Arsenal style panic buy like with Santos.

I am sure Alexander Kolorov and Scott Sinclair would do a great job in your midfield ..... you can have both for 15m :)

Hope not, he's already told everybody we have unlimited money to spend so obviously getting bent over Qpr style doesn't worry him. Not the best way to begin a negotiation period is it? By declaring you have money burning a hole...

I definitely think you've done good business. Last year we strengthened and you didn't, whereas so far this year the complete opposite is the truth. Jovetic is quality and Negredo, although I've seen less of him, from what I have seen will do the business.

It's also good for City that you will have improved the feeling among the squad. Getting rid of bad apples like Balotelli and Tevez will do wonders for morale. Navas and Negredo will help each other settle coming from the same club, together with the other Spanish speakers at the club.

Navas will be a threat since you looked very narrow at times and he can stretch defences where last year you couldn't. And Fernandinho I've yet to see but he looks fucking huge. The general feeling I think us that you've done some good business and with the new managers both starting from scratch we need to get some faces in the door.

True. Though I'm not too sure about an unlimited budget!

I'm suprised he's let someone like Paulinho slip by to Spurs as he's just what you need.
