Hey eds been a long term reader but posted only a few times. I've been reading around the net that United are considering a bid for Fabregas. any truth to this rumor? do we stand a chance to get him?

I would choose Fabregas above Thiago personally due to physicality. Barcelona have to decide on who fits better and having bought Neymar you wonder what that would do for Fabregas or Thiago's playing time.
On Fabregas I read on the Arsenal site some weeks ago (so no idea if true) a rumour something along the lines that his girlfriend lives in England with a child from a previous relationship, she is apparently not allowed to take the child permanently out of England. If that was true it may indicate he will have a reason to want to come back to England. He is exactly what we need for midfield although his part in pizza gate did him no favours, saying that SAF is no longer in charge.
Fabregas and Ronaldo, then we would have a team to challenge in Europe. I can dream!

Fabragas would be an amazing signing, would love to see him in a united shirt, maybe with neymar joining barca fabragas might be getting the door, I would snap him up as fast as RVP {Ed004's Note - Would we need a defensive midfielder beside him? Not sure him and Carrick would work}

If Fabregas or Thiago sign Edd004 we will switch to a midfield three imo. Carrick, Fellaini/Strootman, Fabregas/Thiago with Rvp, Kagawa, Di Maria/Gaitan in a 4-3-3?

REDFAITH {Ed004's Note - Really don't want Fellaini mate. But I reckon we should play 4231 though wondering if we are left a bit too open with Fabregas Kagawa and Carrick in the centre. I remember Fabregas can get stuck in at times}

Neither do I Ed004. But I fear we may switch our attentions from Strootman to Fellaini now that Moyes is here. I don't rate Fellaini as a midfielder and there is much better out there for what he would cost.

Carrick does a very good defensive job and I think with a Jones/Strootman alongside him Fabregas and Kagawa would get much needed space to play ahead. I think we will play with just one winger next year.

Believe Carrick is more a less a defensive midfielder, a lot of people would say he's a deep lying playmaker and while he can do that didn't he get the highest amount of interceptions of anyone in the league season before last? While he isn't the most aggressive tackler he's still much better at it that Scholes was haha. IMO Carrick and Fabregas in midfield would work well.

Girlfriend in England with baby? He and his (10 year older) Spanish partner have just had a baby! FFS!

Steve

Child from previous relationship who isn't allowed to leave England. He may have had a baby with her but if she can't go to live in Spain because of the child it would put her in a position where she would have to stay here and what do you think he would do?
I only repeated what was posted on the arsenal page and have no knowledge
