Surely Fabregas would want to play in the champions league ?

I keep seeing this being brought up. Players will miss out of the CL for one season if they get paid enough.

We're Man Utd. A season out of the CL will barely have an impact on our ability to attract players.

Lord TSC · 31-05-2014 10:34PM

Its amazing how valuable playing in the CL has become since we dropped out for a season and another team happened to get in :rolleyes:

haha! Never mind me.

Kyrogen had a dig off of me for posting a rumour with a link so I just find it funny.

Now now, I don't think that's quite what happened is it Fred?

If my memory is functioning I believe you posted something as a fact, then proceeded "back it up" with a link to a rumour which also included the opposite to your "fact"

Highly amusing at the time alright

How many times to you reckon someone will need to be told that City and Chelsea were well able to sign top players without CL, during this window?

The top players from abroad never joing Utd. Mata & RVP did but they were already PL players.

This made me burst out laughing.

You have reddit, right, the entire place is made up of forums called sub-reddits, and there is one for footy called r/soccer. All the teams have their own subreddits, ours is r/reddevils. It's pretty good. Quite a lot of Americans and it can get very hivemind/circle-jerky at times but there is no quicker way to get the news and views on it.

Reddit is awesome.
Thank god for res though.

United rarely went after top players from abroad, that's going to change

Let me introduce to you

Jaap Stam
Juan Seba Veron
Shinji Kagawa
Patrice Evra
Nemanja Vidic

Of course, I expect you to discredit most of them though they all had nice reps, but the one shining light in there that can in no way be ****ed with or denied is Juan Sebastian Veron. One of the most renowned midfielders in WORLD football when he signed for United.

I would also make the case that after Veron Fergie shied away a little from high profile signings from Europe, he liked to try to get the best of what he had already seen in the league and take a few chances with rough diamonds or lower profile/lower risk recruitments..... Sort of like Bayern Munich by and large

If it helps them bid £25m for Lallana's of this world let them go ahead

£30m for Fab looks a serious steel

Have a delightful night.

I am having a delightful night thanks, the fight was no classic by any stretch but the punch to finish it was brilliant

Agreed absolutely vicious punch but Groves had done well up until then.

Back on topic and I read that Barcelona fans have never quite taken to Cesc since he has come back due to him leaving for Arsenal as a kid. Barcelona need the money so I can't see them getting the 30 million they want and they have now hawked him around. Prospective purchasers have the better negotiating position I think so he could be got for at most 25.

if we are going for him this is what i do not want to see is an underbid, i know he has had a weak season but we can look foolish again by trying to underbid

also we are not getting him, id say he is Arsenal bound

Cantona's Collars · 31-05-2014 11:08PM

The latest gossip is that we are one of 3 clubs bidding for Sanchez and that the club are in talks with Konoplyanka.

Barca based paper Sport are claiming we've bid €37 million for Fabergas.

I'm not trolling. It has always been very important, top players want to play In the CL. This is not a recent thing at all.

Maybe ManU will get back into it after 1 season, maybe not. They didn't exactly miss out this season by goal difference, they came 7th.

Bit of a risk for Fabregas at this stage of his career.
He will have plenty offers if he does leave Barca

31-05-2014 11:25PM

Shaw, Sanchez, Kono, Fabregas and another midfielder would be an interesting summer alright

100m right there without addressing CB. Not buying it at all.

That's from last season. Just to show they aren't the most reliable.

Lord TSC · 01-06-2014 08:25AM

Some "news".

The Mirror are reporting LVG's list is now Konoplyanka, Schweinsteiger, Hummels and Strootman. That list seems to change on the hour. They say Konoplyanka is a handy target cause he won't be tied up in the WC.

Some reports in Italy that Real Madrid have put in a €50m bid for Vidal.

Talk that Sanchez has had bids rejected from us, Liverpool and PSG.

Hotblack Desiato · 01-06-2014 08:39AM

"Acuerdo con el Manchester"

As far as most of the world is concerned, there's still only one club in Manchester

Schweinstiger

Fabregas would no doubt be an improvement to our midfield but his form over the last 2 years has been pretty terrible and he's been a liability in that Barcelona midfield. I'm pretty surprised he made the Spanish WC team because I can't really recount one stand out performance from him in a Barca jersey.

No doubt the guy has great ability and is a proven Premier League player but he's not played at a high level for quite some time.

Seems like a very decent man - again thanking the fans for support but does take bite at the club with the ending of "long-term planning"..

EDIT: Team just beat me to it
