What do you mean I need a haircut?
There has been speculation over the last 24 hours, notably in The Guardian, that the inordinately gifted former Arsenal man, Cesc Fabregas, could be on his way to Manchester United in the winter window.
From a Manchester United perspective, this would be a coup to trump even the signing of RVP from Arsenal. Fabregas is a world class player but, unlike United’s recent Dutch recruit, he is still some way from his pomp.
It is no exaggeration to suggest that Fabregas would improve any team in the world. His technique, creative vision, movement and passing ability is perhaps equalled but not surpassed in the modern game. Whatever your football allegiance Fabregas was an absolute joy to watch in the Premier League. An individual who was truly worth the entrance fee alone.
So now let’s get realistic. Cesc isn’t getting as much game time as he wants at the moment. But with Xavi in his thirties and Iniesta almost joining him, Fabregas surely represents the future of the Barcelona midfield. It seems ludicrous that they would sell the Spain international if they wish to continue with tiki taka in the years to come.
Fabregas wants game time. He just happens to be at the only club in the world where that wouldn’t be guaranteed for him. Surely he would stroll into any other midfield.
It does seem very unlikely to us that he will make a move to Manchester United, but we said that about RVP and now he’s banging in the goals at Old Trafford. What is for certain is that Alex Ferguson would be interested if Fabregas became available. Until that point Manchester United fans can enjoy pleasant daydreams about Cesc pulling the strings in their midfield after The Ginger Prince has finally departed from a game made all the more beautiful by his presence.

Fabregas is a great player and he will be so happy to play for united..

sorry maunited fan arsenal has the first refusal clause on fabregas contract at baca
Nik
Sep 11, 2012 at 9:09 pm
……but Arsenal won’t pay the required fee to buy any top players so first refusal is irrelevant I’m afraid

i doubt csec will play for united. its either arsenal or barca and nothing else
Nik
Sep 11, 2012 at 9:11 pm
Wishful thinking but I suppose any team that has been trophy free as long as Arsenal has to have something to hope for! Cesc will never play for Arsenal again and a player of his class won’t sit on the bench for long whatever club they are at!

I don’t think Fabregas will leave Barcelona and i suggest Fergie should seriously bid for Susaeta and Iker Muniain to create his new Man utd with ability to compete with Barca and Madrid.

What an idiotic post. Exactly where is United supposed to produce the money to pay for Fabregas under such highly speculative circumstances? By cashing in on Mr. Overhype, Wayne Rooney? Or gas some Saudi Prince purchases United in a deal I’m unaware of? The large amount of money spent this off season alone was a surprise, given the frugal expenditure of previous seasons. The team would hardly have the resources left to shell out the kind of money necessary to acquire Fabregas, which would have to be at least 40 – 50 million pounds for a player of his undoubted talents.

I’m sorry Timbo but regurgitating the same crap that the telegraph regularly print doesn’t do you any favours. United has debt; fact! United also tend to rake in severe amounts of profit every year; fact! Come up with your own opinions for a change, Mr Sheep

Even funnier than the thought that United could afford Fabregas is the Arsenal fan saying they have first refusal…

I think Alex its time to live our club, coz we can’t spend our time for the thing which we can get it. There’s so many mildfilder who can play for us,If loose lucas maura go and put money for ganso a’m sure he will help us and also its better to sell carrick than Anderson coz we nweed to give him a chance even one year i think we come back for us.man utd 4 life.

Arsenal as a part of the sale to Barcelona have a buy back clause that gives them first refusal before he can be offered to any one else. Also if barca sell to another team other than arsenal they have to pay over 50% as a sell on fee to arsenal. For arsenal it’s a win/win situation. As barca havent paid all the money owed yet, arsenal still have a very a much larger say than you’d think. But if he does go to Manu then I am sure the arsenal board will thank you for the extra money it provide. By the way arsenal on deadline day had over 100 million quid they could of spent on players and didnt. Manu aren’t the only ones with owners who rob the club blind.
