If you actually put aside the fact that the club really needs to be active in the transfer market, the transfer season itself is amazing craic. I'd say these tabloid hacks have unreal fun with it.

How sweet would it be if we pulled a "Chelsea" and stole their target just like they did to us with Hazard? I'm still skeptical about us getting him though. Let's wait and see what transpires.

Has anyone seen our Dave recently?

He's working away on the inside. Chelsea could have had a guy in the Spanish camp, but they flogged him to us...

I take it Chelsea's "Dave" (why the feck do they call him Dave?) didn't make the Spain squad then?

Thought the same. Could have sworn the fee was almost double that when we were supposedly interested.
Could have signed for free in january with any club, made sure his club got a fee by signing a late contract. I think you have the wrong fernando in mind.

Think his contract was due to expire next Summer
Was due to expire at the end of this month but he signed a 3-year extension in February, was always going to end up at City though, was just to guarantee Porto would get a fee for him instead of losing him for nothing.

Crazy as it may sound, I'd rather not Fabregas, at least of all the star names linked to us this summer.

Bastian, Vidal, Pogba, Koke and possibly Kroos due to age would all be preferable I think.

Mourinho said " we have "some" interest in the player". I think Cesc does not want to come here, he wants london and chelsea have champions league. United want to sign him and may be ready to offer him loads of money but i think his preferance for london and champions league football will mean he will only go there.

Good player but it seems a bit pointless to me. They also have the problem with the restriction in player registration, so signing another foreign player won't help that, especially one that won't be first choice.

Btw he also said this :lol:

Dante rumour did pick pace and then he signed a new contract so you never know, may be he was lead on.This tweet was retweeted by AS english( spanish newspaper) to show he is a bullshitter. Its fecking confusing.

One of his previous tweets about Cesc:


Even though more reliable sources (BBC) have confirmed Arsenal are not interested. He's probably just put our previous interest and the fact that Fabregas is for sale together to assume we're interested.

Hope we are, but I think it's BS.

Laughing seeing the scousers linked, LFC still have no chance competing with us in the transfer market, the only thing they have over us at the moment is CL football which will change next year.

Stadium, training facilities, size of club, money, they just can't compete. Always happy to see us and them linked with a player because I know they will pick us 99% of the time.

It's ironic that he says we've made a late bid before the transfer window has officially opened. But of course it's true that if you're waiting on targets then you could miss out in the process.

Followed by Andy mitten and ballague, so there could be something to it.

I really hope we at least make a bid. If Cesc prefer Chelsea i understand but if he doesn't mind, then we have to outbid Chelsea. He is a really great player, him alongside Schweinsteiger or Vidal or even Pogba would be deadly as hell.

This summer is going to be a right laugh. I just hope it has a better outcome than last summer.

Don't even get drawn in. We ain't getting Fabregas. The time was last summer, but we dicked around with low-ball bids instead.

If this is true, it's annoying if anything. We've clearly left it too late. He'll never do a u-turn to join a club in a worse position at this point.

I checked out Tancredi's twitter page and he's been hitting back at the accusations of it being a betting scam and he was first to break the news. It was slightly amusing seeing him defend his honour in a twitter exchange.

$$$$ talks, if woodward makes him an offer he cannot refuse, then we get him. Its just about how much we are ready to pay and how much will it take to get him here.

Sanchez will leave i think. I think barca's new coach fancies him.

Chelsea fans are getting nervous:lol:
