Mancini as well, next season all change in Manchester. Guess it was expected partly anyway. Shame, thought he might do a job eventually...although there are better managers out there.

You want him back? Is he still popular after leaving? He could probably be good for either you or Utd still.

I've heard rumblings all season of Fabregas being sold & Alexis Sanchez, both still are high quality players. In my view Fabregas won't be a fully fledged member of the Barcelona XI until Xavi either retires or starts to show his age more regularly. Given the role Xavi plays, he is quite capable of playing until he is 35+ provided he is surrounded by mobile & to a degree physical players to give him more protection & options when he just isn't capable of doing what he currently does so well.
That being said, I can't see Fabregas being sold by Barcelona, neither can I see him being willing to join Manchester United.. I'd be more inclined to think a move back to Arsenal would be more on the cards given that supposedly Arsenal have a £80m kitty for this summer. If Arsenal re-signed Fabregas their midfield would be the best in the Premiership in my opinion. They don't need to strengthen midfield urgently I don't feel, but Fabregas would only make it better. Arsenal would do well to sign another CB & someone that can score 30 goals a season for them. Alexis Sanchez could well leave though, he's been hot & cold for Barca this year & my guess is Barcelona will be looking to make a statement in transfer market this summer in light of their embarrassing spanking by Bayern Munich in the Champions League. |

Surely not?

My only point was I think we have passed over better options as I do think Klopp is a better manager than Moyes, I would add Mourinho, Pelegrini and Ancelotti to that lsit, but Moyes is who it is and I will get behind things like any other fan should regardless of my lack of optimism. Quote:
I think it's probably his best position but as a #9 he's scored 34 goals twice for us, once while Berbatov was just sort of lingering and then last season when Welbeck was his partner, so at the point of your attack I think he'd score you more than Giroud or Podolski. |

Yeah, I wasn't sure. That's good. Hope you get him in that case.

Personally, I don't think he'll leave unless he forced out. He obviously wants to make it work there. |

Apparently, Borussia Dortmund are close to agreeing deals for both Kevin De Bruyne and Christian Erkisen of Ajax. If they pull them off, those are two excellent additions to help fill the Gotze void.

They're just not using him to his best potential, imo. He's become more accustomed to playing almost as a supporting striker (as evidenced by they and playing him in the false #9 role), and Barca just don't seem to be able to implement him efficiently into their set-up.

I don't really know much about the situation with Rooney & Moyes but if you're saying the reason for the transfer request is disillusionment with his role and not to do with Moyes, then surely a new manager is the best time to hang around when the playing system and players for that setup can change significantly?

Kevin De Bruyne? Would that be on loan from Chelsea or a permanent transfer?

At times I get the impression Chelsea sign players like de Bruyne just to be a future makeweight for the next flavour of the season!

Wenger is probably going to spend it all on kids. He almost never spends money on big name established players. He usually takes a punt on a promising young player.

Dortmund also wants Jackson Martinez and that boy from Brazil. De Bruyne would be permanent. In the end with extra CL money etc. they would finish only -20M or so. Would be great business.
And Mancini's compensation should be 5-7.5M.
