Transfer Rumours Transfer Rumours Thread

Except Real Madrid where it doesnt matter who the **** is manager

They are probably one of the few exceptions to the rule.

this gibbs agent?

 

So Manure have put in a bid for Cesc, probably well below what Barca would want for him. If they agree to let him go though, we have first refusal and if Cesc wants to return to England then I think he'd be up for a comeback at Arsenal.

This one could get interesting ......

Possible but I suspect United have already spoken to Cesc or his agent and been led to believe hes interested.

Otherwise its unlikely we would bid.

 

I think they would have then been given permission to talk to him by Barcelona... that's how it usually works.

 

That's called tapping up

 

It maybe that Stretford are just "testing the water"

 

According to "LadyArse" Liverpool have confirmed we've made a bid for Suarez

Could be but lets be honest here, clubs go to the player first not the club. No point bidding if your going to be rejected by the player.

Tapping up it may be but it happens at every club and probably in every transfer.

 

From how I have always understood it there are two bids that need to be made from club A to club B. Firstly a preliminary bid by club A to club B informing them of their desire to purchase. If bid is accepted by club B, club A have the go ahead to negotiate with the player and/or his agent. The fee proper is then put forth by the club wishing to purchase the player. Methinks United have simply made a preliminary bid (which is what a lot of clubs do).

 

Is that what happened with Alcantara ?

 

Nah Pep just said he wanted him.

Happened with Fabregas though

 

Happened with RVP.

 

Never knew Cesc was a massive Man Utd fan

 

Anyway **** the transfer gossip.I've just booked my ticket for the first game of the season

 

According to Balague, Barca ain't interested in selling Cesc. Not sure why there are suddenly rumours about this in any case as I thought they had already stated their intention to keep. Doesn't make sense.

 

The rumour is that Stretford have made a £25 million bid for Fabregas.The bid means **** all if Barca don't want to sell or if Fabregas doesn't want to leave

 

Ballague doesn't have a clue, he could well be right but I would never take anything he says seriously.

 

Whispers Arsenal are not planning on competing with Manchester United for Fabregas.

Nothing of note, just putting it out there.

 

I hope you're not listening to the ITK's on Twitter
