Manchester United Rumours Archive May 13 2013

Bit of transfer gossip. Cesc Fabregas is going to leave Barcelona this summer and move to Manchester United.

Not going to happen

If Moyes did pull this off, at least it would silence all the pessimists saying we'll be playing long ball football next season. Would be some story if Moyes signed the player, that when sold caused Arsenal to sign Everton's best player.

Nat

You sound very confident! Maybe there could be an enquiry
Bren,

I can't see it because arsenal have a 1st option buy back calause in his contract

It doesn't matter if Arsenal have a buy back clause if the player wants to play some where else.

Carl

Esteban Granero to man united for 6 million

Carl, it would be lot of money as Arsenal will get 50% of the transfer fee! However I would love it to happen. He has already played in the PL. For 2-3 season he was the person with highest passes in PL and would linkup with RVP seamlessly!

Everybodys favourite Spanish journo, GB, has said Cesc won't leave this year, but may next year.

To be honest, Balague talks crap at the best of times. He has such a big mouth that I don't think he gets any inside info because all he does it announces it. Why would Fabregas not want to leave this year but would leave next year when he is getting even closer to Xavi's retirement. If he leaves I think it is this year or not at all.

All rubbish!

Why would Fabregas leave his beloved barca?

Please guys speak sense.

Why would rooney want to leave United?

Just a thought on Moyes. People keep talking about his style of play but when Arsenal sold Fabregas they replaced him with Evertons playmaker Arteta. So his style cannot be that bad can it? Yeah sometimes it goes long and rough with Fellani but its hardly the long ball Everton of the Duncan Ferguson era is it? They do have some good footballers there. Whilst not United class the likes of Pienaar, Osman, Gibson and Fellani are all good footballers.

As for Cesc, well I would not say no!

Red Pedro

I doubt this will happen- I know this may sound naïve in today's football. but I honestly I can't see cesc playing for pl another team, a part from arsenal- if arsenal put a bid in, he would go there, simple as.

BUT, if arsenal don't won't him back (unlikely if he is available), then that could be a different story. just my tuppence worth.

Why would he go back to Arsenal? Massive step backwards and they aren't lloking like they are going to compete in the Prem or Europe for a good few years in my opinion. They constantly replace proven quality with £10-£15mil nearly men.

Whenever I hear Cesc speak he is very intelligent and any advice he receives will help him eradicate the nostalgia of Arsenal. Ultimately there isn't much place for it at elite level football. If Utd come knocking he will come in my opinion.

Rumour I heard down the pub Will hughes? Bale Fellaini Baines all going to be signed this summer don't know much about Hughes but the guys say he is going to be a great box to box cm a bit like Schweinsteiger hope going to need top top talent ontop of Zaha. losing Scholes and Fletcher as well as maybe Rooney and others? we need class to fill those shoes. Katef

Common Kate, you don't strike me as the kind of person to get excited by a "rumor down the pub" lol.

Dan

Its better than some of the claims on a web site lol and its been an emotional day but ha ho just passing on some gossip out of interest do ya know much about hughes the lads I know say Moyes has been after him for a while and will sign him as he is a great player in the making had a little look on you tube after this post and he looked good against leeds left peg to so it mite not be as far fetched as it sounds but then again Moyes has the pick of the best players in the world to go after. Katef

I see Will's sister on a regular basis apparently Man city is the likely destination with him remaining at derby next season.

Eagle eye

Sorry but bale will not be signed

All these spurs fans saying we ain't going to het Bale sound a lot like the Arsenal fans last year saying we ain't going to get Van Persie.

Difference being van Persie had a year left on this contract

We don't sound anything like the woolwich lot! Bale is buying a new house, so his family can stay due to his new born! Bale is about to sign a new contract! His father has told him him present future should be whl! A youtube post of gareth and aaron lennon slating the people and city's of liverpool and manchester was taken down very quickly! A few eagle eyed scousers managed to view the post! His relationship with avb is brilliant! And the ONE good reason to join manchester left your club yesterday! Now if you don't want him! We will take rooney of your hands for about 5 mill?

You didn't see his interview on supersunday yesterday then? Was a very different interview from the one I seen on soccer AM a couple weeks back, he was insistent and convincing back then, this week not so much! In fact he left major question marks in his interview yesterday. I'm a united fan but often visit WHL to watch spurs mainly cause my best mates is a person even he agreed that his interview yesterday wasn't very reassuring at all. I'm thinking Real Madrid personally and once they come knocking.

LUKE CHADWICKS LOVE CHILD

Haha look how these Spurs fans are hovering about ready to try prove he isn't leaving! Why would he slate the people of Manchester when his idol has played for Manchester United all his life?! Doesn't sound legit.

Ozwald

Rooney plus £20 million for Bale? Gets rid of a player who wants to leave us, brings a top class player in to OT, and Spurs can then get rid of Adebayor. Rooney and Defoe is not a bad front pairing! Trouble is, if Spurs qualify for Champions league, Bale may not wish to leave, if they don't, Rooney will not wish to join them.
Mike B.

Its the same response he gave in an interview months ago! It wasn't the best but most of us know he won't be moving! This is the same kind of banter we had last year but with modric! I didn't see him in s united shirt? And you want see either bale or modric in a united shirt next year either!

Hughes looks decent and we need a box to boxer but if I was to sign any player from the championship it would be jonny williams.

As a United fan I think he will go abroad at some point. He's always stated he wanted to. I can see him at Spurs for another year though.

As for United. No Scholes. Anderson leaving? Nani leaving? A few gaps appearing in a below par midefield. I think Moyes will bid for Fellani and hopefully Nick Powell will get some game time. I'd loike to see a cheeky bid for Ross Barkely as well.

Hilarious post from the no named Spurs fan. Did you not see Bales interview over the weekend, he doesn't look like a player staying put to me!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Rooney and Nani for Bale, surely this is a very reasonable deal?
United can then look at Lewandowski and Fellaini and that looks like a good summer to me.

Paul

Paul, your going to look very stupid!

Lol nina me spurs fan. Quote AVB on Bale leaving and when asked about interst from Moyes. "it's not in our interest", "it will not be easy". Bale obviously wants a move stop kidding yourself, whether it's us, real or Bayern he clearly wants out if you don't get CL football again an with all his congratulating us on our victory, Levy would be the only thing that stops him coming if we bid.

Dan

All these people saying rooney to spurs. do you honestly think spurs will match his wages? if we could, those wages will be offered to bale! bale will leave spurs this year or next, for a lot of money, to Real madrid! why else would they have set that partnership up with spurs?

Nah Levy will love it he will laugh all the way to the bank he's a penny pincher, besides he's got a stadium to pay for and with out CL football it might make sense for all parties involved for bale to leave, unfortunately I struggle to see it being to united but the contrast in his interview yesterday compared to previous interviews was clear, signing bale would be brilliant though

This random tottenham fan quoting some random video LOOOLLL. Nobody's heard of it even if it did exist, so people ain't pissed off about it. He will move, he would probably prefer to stay in England but no doubt Levy will make sure that doesn't happen. This partnership was made to transfer players between clubs but it was done with the thought tottenham would be playing in the CL. Do you tottenham fans really think Modric, Di Maria etc will accept being offloaded to Tottenham where there's no CL football and close to 0 chance of winning the league.
