    DM is more of a priority but it seems drowned out by the obsession for a big name

    Not saying that. Just the way some (admittedly not many from here) are going into slit your wrist mode because we haven't announced anyone yet.
    Complaining about it is a well and good because yes its annoying we haven't brought people in yet just when sone fans take that **** way too far. I should have clarified tgat in the earlier post.

    The Sun newspaper's Neil Custis tweets that Manchester United manager David Moyes confirms a second offer made for Cesc Fabregas.

    Also:

    Manchester United manager David Moyes tells a news conference in Yokohama that a second offer has been made for Cesc Fabregas

    There must be something encouraging from Barcelona that is making Manure bid again.

    Didn't he Barca VP say they're not selling him. Moyes is just trying to save face.

    More info on Cesc:

    Manager David Moyes on Manchester United's bid for Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas: "My understanding is that Ed's (Woodward, United's executive vice-chairman) had a response and he spoke with them.

    "I think we made a second offer but Ed is dealing with that personally, rather than me."

    Moyes adds: "When you're interested in good players you want to give it every opportunity to materialise and I'll do that. I hope things can continue and move forward. At this moment in time I can only tell you that Ed Woodward is working hard trying to make the deals happen. We can only hope that some of them fall into place shortly."

    I've added some more info below. Moyes doesn't come across as a lier and they genuinely seem to be chasing him. Lets see what Barca do. Is Cesc surplus to requirements? We will soon find out.

    Great, if Manure get Fabregas, then we get some money to put towards Suarez. It'll actually work in our favour. Suarez in our system will be a lot more effective than Fabregas in Manure's system.

    I don't think any amount of money will convince Wenger and our board to put up 40 million for Suarez... even if we had 200 million in the bank. We've got 70 million right now apparently, so I don't think money is the issue.

    I really don't understand how it is 'more of a priority'. We are in desperate need of both a CF and a DM. If we fail to sign both, then the transfer window will be a massive failure.

    Doesn't surprise me. What does surprise me is that some people don't realize this is the norm.

    Not just Geoff. Reports about it leaked out before he tweeted it.

    L’Equipe – Arsenal sign Bernard, medical Friday
    From Lady Arse. Don't know how reliable this is but other reports saying Bernard is leaving Brazil on Friday.

    Hopefully it's false. We don't need another overrated midget.

    He's not overrated, he is pretty darn good. As for height = not a problem really. Only thing that worries me is his age. All this is speculation though, we may or may not get him.

    But he's not that good. He will flop in this league. I can see him being succesful in a less physical league, like Spain, but he won't last over here. I'd rather get a striker and a DM, we don't need an AM, we have Rosicky and Cazorla, both are top drawer

    Also, there's no point signing someone just for the sake of it, which is what this would be.
