Just read that Manchester United have already started negotiations with Fabregas he's the first priority for Van Gaal and fabregas is keen to move

Like he was keen to move last summer. This story as been done death now so let's move on and find some realistic targets. That said I would not complain if i'm wrong.

Tancredi? He has an iffy reputation my friend. However we know Barcelona are willing to sell at a price and we know City have enquired. We also know that we were very interested in signing him last season. There's no reason why this cannot be true, but I will not get excited until I hear it from a better source.

A few places suggesting that an Arsenal bid is imminent. Nobody particularly reliable but I'd imagine the club will feel obliged to move for him if it looks as though he's going to move elsewhere. They clearly need to strengthen other areas but I don't think their fans would be happy to see him move to a domestic rival having lost so many other players in recent years.

{Ed002's Note - Just to try and clear this up. Manchester United are not in negotiations over Fabregas. Barcelona might well listen to a significant offer for Fabregas and Manchester City have certainly made an enquiry for him. However, the club is about to get a new manager and there is every chance he will stay there. This is probably just stuff from Twitter or whatever.}

We need to look at where our interest is currently. We know MU have contacted BM regarding Kroos. We know MU have contacted Juve regarding Vidal. We know that we have contacted Sporting in regards to Carvalho. Ed has told us that Vidal is unlikely and he was our first choice, Carvalho 2nd. But things may well have changed with the sacking of Moyes and soon to be appointment of LvG. I think we have to assume that Kroos and Carvalho are the most likely targets at this point. But no doubt we will know more in the coming weeks.

Vidal if he will leave will go to Spain and strootman is the one coming even though he's Injured hopefully will be accompanied in midfield with Kroos let's wait and see.

Ed02 - Is it true that Barcelona's sporting director is pushing for a change in playing style? I've heard from a few places that they'll be looking to play with an out and out striker again which would surely push Messi back into the number 10 role and thus decrease the amount of playing time for their midfielders. Are they pursuing strikers at the moment or is their focus solely on their defense?

{Ed002's Note - You need the Barcelona page for this sort of question, but they are about to change head coach and he will have his own ideas.}

Syd I think all interest in Carvalho may well disappear with LvG joining
