If we don't at least attempt to sign Cesc Fabregas, while he is apparently available at the price being quoted, then something is very wrong. A player who plays best as a "number 8" but with all the qualities of a number 10 who can link the play and be a creative force from that deeper position. This is something we have lacked for years much to our detriment. I genuinely believe he would rather us than Chelsea as well, though Arsenal would always be his first choice. I'll be very disappointed in LvG and the club if we don't make a concrete offer.

I agree I think that is fabergas best position

Believe,

You really think we haven't tried? I imagine we spoke to him and his response was that he wants to play Champions League football. That along with how he messed us about last season, I imagine we didn't want to be involved.

Im sorry but your a bit deluded if you think Fabregas would rather join Utd than Chelsea, for one no champs league with Utd, then you have the London factor which is a bigger draw than living in Manchester, Chelsea are a club moving forwards the same can't be said for Utd.

He embarrassed us last year in the summer transfer window. Don't blame the club for passing on him

Champions league football, living in London and joining the team that will likely win the league and have a good chance in the champions league

Or

Joining a team with no european football based in Manchester, who are currently in a state of flux while transitioning under a new manager who hasn't managed a game or even been to the training ground yet.

If you take your love of the club out of it then the decision is very simple and its not good for us.

Fair enough folks, just a hunch I have that Cesc if given the option this summer would choose United over Chelsea.

I am glad we not showed our interest in him, doesn't fit into lvg system no point signing a big name for big names sake like we did with mata

Flint

Get over it!

Flint, we embarrassed ourselves last year. Didn't need anyone to do it for us.

He definitely sent some signals that he was interested in coming to United, but was just using us for leverage at Barca. Ironic, it would have been beneficial to all parties if it would have happened last year. That ship has sailed and Chelsea is a better destination for him at his time
