How do you figure?
Do you know whats being said behind closed doors? have you got a source in the FDJ camp that can prove without a shadow of a doubt that he has absolutely no interest in coming here?
Why exactly would we waste our time on a player that has no interest in coming to us? Fabregas was a mess from the start. We were told numerous times that he wasn't for sale but we didn't take no for an answer. This time we're in advanced negotiations with an outline fee agreed. We wouldn't do that if the player had no interest in coming!
As i say, what a player and club says in public isn't always what they say behind closed doors.
There's just so many quotes out there recently of him stating his happiness with Barca. Tie in their woeful financial situation...
I mean lets be perfectly honest here, every member here who disagrees with me openly admits that the club are only selling him because of their financial problems! Between the two sentiments, surely to god it must tell folks that in an ideal world FDJ stays put.
Its not like he's doing a Ronaldo here and putting in a transfer request / consider offers is it?
The only reason we are pursuing this is because we think we can strong arm them, during a summer we need to make ourselves look strong in the market... what a co-inky-dink hey?! Now its back fired.
As for the final bold bit, it didn't stop us pursuing ADM and eventually signing him did it? Were not alone though in that respect, Chelsea made same mistake with Rom last summer.
Transfers are a mess these days because of the sums of money involved.
