That's Cesc pretty much at Chelsea then:

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has refused to rule out a move for Cesc Fabregas, admitting he is looking at the situation.

Barcelona are widely reported to be ready to let Fabregas leave this summer, as he is not believed to be in the plans of new boss Luis Enrique.

Further reports have suggested that former club Arsenal - who have first refusal on Fabregas - have decided against bringing him back to the Emirates.

The likes of Manchester United - who bid for Fabregas last summer - Manchester City and Chelsea are all being suggested as potential suitors for the 27-year-old, who is currently with the Spanish squad ahead of the World Cup finals.

Now Mourinho - talking at a pre World Cup event for Yahoo, for whom he is working for during the tournament in Brazil - has admitted to having a liking for Fabregas, seemingly rubbishing claims that he was not a fan of the midfielder.

"I am interested in studying Fabregas' situation," he is quoted as saying by the Portuguese media.

"I think he is anxious to leave Barcelona and motivated to return to England. I think that is clear."

Mourinho does not believe that Fabregas' future will be resolved ahead of the World Cup.

"Whether he is going to sign for Chelsea or for another club, that is not a a subject to be discussed today, tomorrow or before the World Cup".

He's not definitely available, and you know.. Completely different manager.

Really don't know why I waste my time to tell you this though, you'll just carry on talking nonsense.

So.. he's not available? Maybe not now he's about to sign for Chelsea. And it's not just our last manager, but in fact the last full time manager before that too. He must be quite a sought after player who would improve our central creativity.


Unlike Fellaini who no other clubs were after for 27 million.
 
While it's rather gutting seeing these deals being done while we seemingly do nothing, I suspect we've got a solid list of targets and deals are being worked on. It would be unfair to start slating Woodward/Van Gaal before the World Cup has even started, as far as I can tell the press are completely in the dark when it comes to our targets (with the exception of Shaw).

I can see why people are becoming increasingly annoyed, though.

I think that for €33m, we should have tried to sign Fabregas regardless, but he isn't able to do the defensive side of the box to box work Van Gaal wants (like Strootman and Schweinsteiger can). I do think he'd be able to play central midfield as part of a midfield two though, with Mata ahead as the No.10 - which is what I wanted, but clearly it's not going to happen by the look of things.

Regardless of what? If the new manager want's him or not? Why are people getting bent out of shape already? He has his targets and the club will be working on them. He will know the system he wants to play.

Let me call it now. United won't sign Fabregas and LVG won't instantly build a team that takes on the world and this place will be full of how he should have signed Fabregas.

LVG out!

I'm not saying that at all, I already implied there are players who might suit the central midfield positions better than him.

But, there's no guarantee we'll get them, and Fabregas is proven quality and able to play a position where we're extremely weak. He also knows the league and can perform in it.

He might have turned us down, for all we know, too.

Villa sign Senderos? That's them relegated. How is he still managing to be a footballer?

Fixed.

I honestly wonder this about quite a few 'footballers' :p.

The exact thought usually goes along the lines of 'How the **** do you get paid to do this?' or 'Who the **** is stupid enough to pay you to do this, let alone plays you in the first team.'

Staggering sometimes.

I agree with the theory but am still concerned about how this is put into practice.

No1. Unfortunately for a while now Utd has seemingly leaked like a seive for quite a while now, is it likely that suddenly everything has gone quiet and all holes have been plugged, or is the club being turned diwn left,right and centre by majority of targets?

No2. Aprt from the two players mentioned ( and the majoroty of the youthful Dutch squad members) Im not sure we have been linked with anybody else thats likely for that position (Vidal was / is never likely unfortunately). Strootman will cost a fortune for his limited experience, and wont be match fit before Oct/ Nov IF he ever fully recovers - surely Utd cant bid before Jan at the earliest? Schweinsteiger is surely just as much of a risk for different reasons ( and is the £10m rumoured fee likely? Doubtful surely, double that would be a minimum). A very short term solution at the very least and he will get even less time on the ball in the Epl in comparison to the bundesliga ( thinking about Pep's reported criticism)

Im all for a few kids ( of any nationality) being bought in to complement the U21's we have ready to come through/ step up, its the experienced players in the middle of the park thats concerning ( and lack of viable rumours)

Moyes didn't understand the reply/reply to all feature on emails.
 
Thing is we spent like 65 million on 2 midfielders, ones cack and the others a bit of a luxury but if signing either one of them stop us signing genuinely required players then we habe a problem
 
We've only bloody signed someone!
