Fabregas is staying at Barca.

Good!

He was never the target

For now.

Arsenal have first dibs on him anyway it was in the deal when they sold him

Why would he want to go back to Arsenal. they have gone backwards. It's up to him where he plays, not them

Agreed, and how do yo know it was in the deal? read it in the sun?

Eds, any chance we have been monitering Heung-Min Son of Hamburger SV. He's an incredible tallent that no-one in England seems to be talking about. If Rooney goes I think he'd be a great addition to our team. {Ed002's Note - A number of clubs have been looking at Hamburg's Heung Min Son for the past year. Certainly Spurs, Liverpool, Arsenal, Sunderland, Lille and West Ham have had him watched on more than one occasion leading up to the end of last year and Spurs had a bid turned down in January. Since the New Year some interest has been shown by Dortmund, Manchester United, CSKA Moscow and Chelsea, who would ideally look to a deal that sees a player included as part of an offer. Hamburg would like to keep him but I expect him to move in the summer, but a move to Chelsea or Manchester United could see him sat on the bench and that may not be what he wants. Dortmund or Spurs might be the best compromise for him but a recent enquiry from Dortmund has seen a much higher asking price than expected put on the player - so they are looking to negotiate.}

Would imagine Dortmund would be favourties to sign him, after all he's already used to life in Germany, knows the recent success of Dortmund and Klopp they'll also need to bring in someone to fill the void left by Gotze.

He is a fantastic prospect, so talented. I would be over the moon if we signed him. Dortmund may be a better place for him in the short term.

Thanks Ed002 really insightful. No idea how you get all this information but you guys do a brilliant job.

It wouldn't be the worst thing if he went to Dortmund, in honesty it's probably the best place for him. But I hope we can still sign him at some point.

What was the deal Chelsea were looking at?

Sources claim that Manchester United are close to signing Kevin Strootman for £17.5m. I do not know how true but this is definitely a step-up. How would u fit him in with the current squad over looking other potential ins

Strootman will partner Carrick as the deep 2 central mids. If we did/do get him Anderson will be on his way out

Yes, its a done deal
after euro u21 championship its wil be confirmed along with thiago.

MR UTD7

I imagine a line up like this with strootman!

-------------de gea-------------
Rafael--rio/jones--vidic/evans--evra
-------carrick----strootman------
Valencia-----kagawa-----zaha
-----------van persie---------

What you guys think?

I would rather not sign him and just get Fabregas to play alongside Carrick behind Kagawa, and then sign a really young player to play back up along with Cleverley and Powell.

Terrible line up, Zaha far from the finished article, and Valencia can't beat a man, with 2 deep lying midfielders creativity would be severly lacking.

Fabs

------------------De Gea------------------

Rafael---------Rio-----Vidic---------Evra

-------Thiago-----Carrick------Strootman

-----------Kagawa---------Bale------------

----------------------RvP-------------------

Everyone wetting there pants over strootman like its a done deal. Moyes is on holiday isn't he?

I expect it will be fellaini, not strootman, that will be wearing the united colours next season.

nip!

Bale will not be coming so who will play that won't work!

Is it feasible to sign Fabregas, Thiago and Strootman for about £60m?
This sounds reasonable.

A midfield trio of Thiago-Carrick-Strootman

Fabregas behind RvP & Chicharito
or
Fabregas & Kagawa behind RvP.

I really hope we get Fellaini instead of Strootman. He plays well anywhere in midfield and has proved his worth in the EPL. I can't understand everyone wetting their pants over Strootman. It can only be that a lot of reds on here have only seen him on YouTube. He looks goodish in the Dutch league, but excels in little. He isn't a powerful midfield enforcer, nor a highly skilled goal scoring/making AM. he's like Fletch on a good day. Fellaini and Tiargo would do me. 2nd choice would be Wanyama/Bender and Fabrigas

My brazilian mate has told me about the triplets
he says they're all quite small but strong in the tackle and good passers. they're yet to play for vasco but one of thems had a call-up for brazil u17s 3million looks a steal - moyes is ready to make them his first signings.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQRg5-GZHHg

one of them is in that video not sure which one tho

Getting woried now according to papers I no you take what they say with a pinch of salt but moyes is thinking of bringing gibson back if it is right then that is a statment that were going backwards heres hoping not a red united fan

Sources in Spain tell me that United might try and trigger both Thiago's and Fabregas' clauses so the total amount United have to pay would be £45 Million. However we are not sure that the players would be willing to move. Also, I hear that Manchester City might try and hijack United's bid for Thiago and Fabregas.

Are your sources in spain the daily mail, I read the exact same thing online early hours of this very morning.

"sources in Spain" you go all the way to Spain just to check twitter!

Fabregas' buyout clause is £186m.

Hi folks anyone hear any more regarding Rooney? has there been any offers or is Moyes going to try to talk him into staying. Watched him last night he looked very ordainary and uninterested even though he wasnt playing in a utd jersey.

He's a disgrace. His attitude is disgusting. He's a great player there's no denying, but he's never going to reach his pinnacle with this petulant, self-important attitude he has.

And if he wants to leave we should let him. Unfortunately the way he has gone about wanting a move is way too public and he's probably just above halved his value. Potential buyers can probably chuck in 25/30 mil and get a deal.

If he u-turned and decided to stay, I think he'd possibly be the most unpopular Manchester United player ever.

If we're one thing, we're loyal, and we on the terraces expect loyalty in return.

One love. One United.

Rooney hasn't been himself for some time now (few years) he's past his peak, has lost bags of pace he used to have (remember them big bursts he used to make).

i think its time he moved on to pastures new unless he can rediscover his form and get as fit as a racing horse

Last I heard, he was still an odious twunt.

Eds, what's the latest on Thiago Alcantara moving to man united? Thanks {Ed004's Note - Nothing has changed from what I can see}

29 May 2013 19:41:51
Eds is there any truth to the fabregas rumours and is the player/club listening to offers concerning a move?

Shahram {Ed004's Note - Ed 2 says he doesn't think there is any truth}

Did arsenal not agree a buy-back clause when they sold to barca?

29 May 2013 23:40:08
coleman going to united

Don't need him because we already have Rafael but a great player who could one day play in the Champions League

30 May 2013 01:17:38
Brilliant, she's one of my favourite actresses, but what are we going to do with her? New kit model I hope.

Chris Coleman? :-p
