Cesc Fabregas

Manchester United have made a £25m bid for Cesc Fabregas.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23316448

Do you reckon that would be a good move for him?

Postman Pat · Jul 15, 2013

I think Moyes would have been better off paying £23m for Fellaini.

Good move for Fabregas, been a bit-part player in Barca, because of the quality of their midfield. Can understand why he would want to come back to England. Good business all-round I think.

Arsenal fans would LOVE this - United having 2 of their former best players.

Fab is a world class player man u would do well to sign him

Not going to happen especially since Thiago has been sold.

You'd think Arsenal have first dibs on him. Maybe that will spring them into action and bring back the forgotten hero.

fabregas is way way better than fellaini

Utd need 2 world class central midfielders. Fabregas would be ideal but I think they'd have to pay £30M or 35M Euros that sort of figure. Fellaini for about £23M would be decent business for both them and Everton. I'd say he's not quite in the same class but not far off.

Not bothered really, already getting fed up with the Prem merry go round. I don't think Man U fans are bothered about our ins and outs..

Don't see it. Cesc MUST'VE known when he moved to Barca he was going to have to play a bit of a waiting game with Xavi and Iniesta's advancing years. He'll slowly establish himself more and more as those 2 get older.

Matt law was just tweeting about this.

Arsenal have a buy back clause, where if cesc asks to go to arsenal, barca have to accept 25m. Anyone else can make bids but they'd have to meet barcelona's valuation, which is likely to be more than the 26m utd have offered.

Cesc wants to give Barcelona one more year, but if they accept a bid, would he say "if you want rid of me screw you, I want to go to arsenal" thus depriving the of a bigger profit.

Would be a sensational signing for United, and only add extra spice to their games against the Gooners next season, as if they needed any.

Bit-part? He's played 96 games in two seasons!

It looks like United are realising that they can no longer rely on substandard players to compete and succeed at a world-class level, as they have lost the one man who made that possible for so long. The only alternative is to invest heavily in proven players, because if they don't then Moyes will sink quickly with the likes of Anderson, Kagawa, Nani and Giggs in his midfield. Prepare to see the brilliance of Sir Alex illustrated more in the next three months than it has been even in the last 26 years.

Think you might be right on the money there.

Arsenal fans would be beside themselves. If he comes back surely it has to be Arsenal, maybe this bid from Utd will push Arsenal into making an approach. Pretty sure Arsenal have a buy back clause of 25mill.

deletebeepbeepbeep · Jul 15, 2013

I agree with points made by TCB, United have been vastly over performing these last few years under AF with a rather shitty looking squad when you compare it to the likes of Chelsea and City. Even Tottenham with Sandro, Dembele Paulinho and Bale have a more exciting first 11 then United.

I think they could suffer this year, Chelsea will win the league at a canter and United will finish somewhere between fifth and third. I can't wait for the Moyes out protests to begin. It's going to be glorious.

Only if cesc tells Barcelona he wants to go back to arsenal.

I'd agree with your general sentiment but Kagawa, substandard? I don't think so.
