Go away united!

i reckon there are two reasons why.
1. obviosuly fabregas is vital for barca
This may be the case. But they might weigh his value against having £40m odd to buy some defenders - their main weakness for a while now.
2. Fabregas is a gunner/catalan threw and threw and would never in a million years join United.
Catalan doesn't really matter and "Gunner" definitely doesn't matter. Arsenal aren't what they were and haven't been our rival for a long time now. That wouldn't stop him.
Sorry united fans but this aint happening. 99% not going to happen. the odds are against u big time.
I don't really think it'll happen either but it's still a possibility at the moment.
Lots of players move to specific clubs not just for name and history, but because of current state of affairs and manager/players who are already inside that club.
Moyes is unprove. this could be teh decline of United, who knows but it is a risk going to United as too much has changed behind the scenes to try and mount the same success as last season.
And why move to united? why downgrade yourself to playing at united with all these uncertanty?
Who would you rather train and play with week in week out? Messi or RVP? Xavi or carrick? List goes on
We're arguably the biggest club in the world, we won the Premier League at a canter last season, it was almost effortless. Moyes is no SAF, but he's not a clueless idiot either. We'll be quite fine. We do need some midfield reinforcement though. Barcelona's new coach hardly has a massive list of honours next to his name does he?
Now Barcelona have Neymar filling either of the wide positions that Cesc would occupy if Xavi was playing, he might be a bit uncertain. It's entirely possible. Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets are the ideal midfield 3, yes Xavi is knocking on a bit but he plays extremely well next to Iniesta. He can be a rotated midfielder or the central midfield superstar of Man Utd, with his friend RvP.
I can see how this transfer could happen, but I'd still be very surprised.
It's very amusing to note that the Arsenal fans are more bothered than the Barcelona fans about it though.
I fully believe we're being encouraged to bid, and aren't just throwing bids at a completely defiant club and player, praying that they'll all of a sudden accept what is essentially a slightly higher bid. Something has been said/done behind the scenes that is driving this.
We will see, hopefully with the new coach in place this will be resolved sooner rather than later, so we can move on to other targets if required.
Maybe Rooney is part of the fabregas deal
This would be very sensible but player swaps are so rare.
