Woodward coming back to sort out 33m
move for Fabregas -- get in u beauty

Ha, I'm glad you left a name Bfro. Just so we all know who to laugh at!

Cheekyblue

To be fair Cheekblue, there was a lot of posts like yours this time last year about RVP - I always hoped it would happen but not believing it would - I have the same feeling this time round.

We have put a bid in - so I suppose anything can happen

Dream on you plum. tryvirwing fabregas interview who says not intereted. Barca manager saying not for sale and barca president saying not for sale. Add in arsenal have first refusal and 50% of sell on fee. Are barca gona sell to make a measly £15-£17mill?

Putting an actual bid in shows we are already confident we have a chance to land him. We didn't even bid for Thiago, just talked wages and personal terms.

Can somebody please tell me have barca rejected the bid united made for fabregas?

Yes they have. but " not for sale " stuff hasn't reported anywhere

rodio17

No he s signing tomorrow
Dan

Simply Google it, I did and there is one, only one report that says its been rejected and that's from a website I don't even recognize so not at all credible its something like www.wemakeupcrap. com

We will go back in for another bid no doubt. I think Vilanovas response was far from convincing, Fabregas could be sold if the right offer comes in IMO, just hope he would choose us.

Dan (not the Dan above)

Barca spoke to fabregas and he wants to stay, other words not interested.

If Barcelona rejected the bid, they would tell United, not the press.

And while United may have leaked news of the bid initially, clubs don't tend to be so keen on announcing rejection.

Barcelona are simply behaving in a dignified manner, and not going on about it.

Surely if Barca have spoken to Cesc about us apparently budding and asked for his thoughts, shows that they are willing to let him go. Otherwise they'd rejecting the bid and said nothing

Haha as if Fabregas would join united! You lot make me laugh

Nothing funny about united signing former arsenal captains

Fabregas would only come to the Emirates, he said so himself. Dream on if it makes you happy though.

I think Fabregas will be ours within this week.

Yeah he'd go to the emirates, get injured come fourth in the league on goal difference and then get injured again. just like days of old.

Haha these gooners make me laugh out loud, they make it sound as if they can and have attracted top talent from around the world.

Reading between the lines it does sound like Barca would sell for the right price.
They only said "Cesc says he wants to stay", not "he's not for sale".
Besides, if Barca do accept a bid, then that put Fabregas in a position to have to make a choice. Wenger said yesterday that they're not looking at him now. He might look what RVP did, going straight from Arsenal to United and think he could go Barca to United no problem. Link up with his old pal RVP.
Anythings possible in football, but my gut feeling is that Moyes will end up with Baines and Fellaini, that's all.
Which would be piss poor imo.

Rooney's going no where unless a bid of £30 mil plus comes in. United would prefer to sell him to a team abroad rather that one of their rivals. Also, expect one or two signings within the next week or so.

Ed did we really reject Mata/Luiz plus £10 million for Rooney? I find it unlikely cause of firstly the fact the fail reported it and also due to the fact Mata/Luiz is supposedly valued by Chelsea at £35 million so £10 million extra is £45 million? Plus Mourinho said he doesn't want to lose either of Mata or Luiz and neither have asked to leave. I reckon that's been inflated to add hype and Chelsea's real offer was a cash one of about £20-23 million. {Ed029's Note - Ed02 said there was a cash bid only mate.}

20m eds? {Ed029's Note - Ed02 won't want to say mate.}

No player was added to transfer but the amount is less than what people are thinkin it is. Utd want 30+ for him so i'd suspect chelsea have tabled a bid of around 15 to 20m. though jose will make highter bid it just in his nature to try low bids first rather than break the bank no matter who the player is. Utd don't want to sell but have 2 or 3 players they want to sign if he leaves. I do like rooney like any u5d fan but I do see that chance he will be a chelsea player. Its also unlikey any spanish team will come in for rooney also

Some people need to get realistic. Mata and Lukaku? No chance. Mata/Luiz and £15 million+? No chance! Chelsea will bid cash only now or will use different squad players in the deal, people like Essien or Moses along with cash above £25 million. And a bid like that will be accepted.

Mata is worth at least 30 million if not more and is much younger than Rooney.
So in theory Chelski would be paying 40 million for Rooney and I don't think he is worth 40 million.
I would take the deal straight away.

Simmo

Why would we take essien or moses? no chance of us wanting either.
johndenton

Mata is 25 so he's not that much younger than him, however i'd take mata all day long for rooney

Robbo

You're right. It's a complete rubbish all of this.
I doubt Mata would like to come to United and his price is almost the same as Rooney, who thinks otherwise is mad.
Luiz, uhm, Mourinho wouldn't be that stupid to let this kid go.

So, no!

Why would Chelsea give us star players for a squad player of ours?

melwing28

Utter utter rubbish, what do you mean some people? Chelsea will return with a bid of between £12 million and £15 million and still offer Mata or Luiz, that bid should be accepted with Mata the chosen player. Mata is worth less than Rooney with out doubt, and Chelsea know this. For goodness sake why are people like you so unrealistic.
Rant over.

Who would want luiz bad player and I don't think rafa would want to see him either.

There will be no other players in this deal, just straight cash and the deal will be done. No doubt about it. Moyes and Rooney hate each other. So much for "There's no transfer budget, sign who you like". Once again we have to offload before we buy. Glazers are a joke. Get ready for a barren few years!. I'm not a pessimist just a realist!

When have the Glaziers not backed the manager exactly? Are you wanting a £50m signing each year?
We bought a core of players to last us a few seasons, De Gea, Jones, Smalling. Chico. Then last year we bought the premier league player of the year and the German league player of the year.
What more do you want? Go support City, Madrid, PSG or even Monaco if you want money spent non stop with little return.

Chelsea have submitted a formal bid for Wayne Rooney. Manchester United rejected the bid. Being reported on sly sports news.

Is it expected that Chelsea will return with an improved offer? possibly the £10m with both the players? Since both players now know they are surplus to requirements

Many thanks

Alright lads,

Few things, my sister lives in Sydney, just off of
Skype with her.

She was in Starbucks in circular quay and overheard
Two men in united track suits chatting away.

She said she wasn't really paying attention as the
Kid was awake and moaning.

But they were there for over an hour. Firstly they
We're chatting about family etc then started chatting
About footy.

Long story short they were chatting about Ronaldos contract
And how Jesse Lingard has serious potential but will
Never be world class.

She said they were chatting about some guy Jesse
That stuck with her because my daughters name is Jessie

Then two younger blond guys came in, wearing similar
Manchester United track suits and they had a bit of joke
And the younger two left.

I am not saying we are getting Ronaldo far from it.

She could have heard his name and contracts and put 1&1 together
And came up with 10.

I personally don't think he will sign.

Nothing about anyone else but thought I'd share

Gaz

Good story Gaz. I also have a United track suit.

It's believable. why not? Jess Lingard is over with the squad, he is very good and will become a proffesional premier league player and Ronaldo is a strong topic of conversation. Doesn't actually tell us anything though, so why have so many people clicked the 'unbelievable' key then?

J - Stand

It does my box in when people shoot others down or slag them off for posting a rumor. So much negativity!

Guess what it's a rumors site! I enjoy reading all posts regardless of whether they're plausible or not.

Good on you for sticking your neck out & leaving your name Gaz.

How random

Who's shooting him down? I'm all for rumours. Majority of them are unbelievable but I have never said any rumour on this site is rubbish. I enjoy all rumours good or bad.

Thanks J Stand

as I said I don't think Ronaldo will be coming
Back.

There is not much of a rumour here just an overheard
Conversation from two coaches from what I can gather from her.

This is a not a believable unbelievable post, this happened and she said the reason she remembered names is she only knows a handful of past and present united players and Jesse because it reminded we of my daughter.

Just passing the info on.

They were quite adamant about Lingard saying he has all the ability in the world but will never realise it, don't know if he has attitude problems or not and honestly I haven't seen him play all that much to have an opinion on him.

Gaz

The responses to this story are representative of our society a a whole. So much stored up negativity ready to be unleashed by the hyper-judgemental public! Anyways I predict Baines, Fellaini, a centreback and one more midfielder. No Cesc, no Bale, no Ronaldo. Plus Wayne will bugger off down to West London methinks so he will need replacing. Anyways, peace & love people - if you are getting emotionally affected by a football transfer rumour site (even one this good) you should re-assess your life! Can't wait for the new season, could be the most hotly contested in years.
SD

Manchester united players and staff are never allowed to talk about transfers or club player in that way in public. It is in the contract at the club that they have to refute any transfer gossip or internal affiar at club unless told so by club officials. Utd are an extreamly sensitive club so I do doubt in any surcumstances that this is true what soever
