I wonder if Barca still owe us some money from the Fabregas sale? It was only 3 years ago he left wasn't it? Cant see them completing their 35million payment already. If he is for sale for 29 million, I honestly believe we should buy him, if only to keep out of the hands of Chelsea and Man Utd. He would fit perfectly for Chelsea and we would look like a laughing stock again having let him walk there. I really hope the fact no deal has yet been announced means nothing has been decided yet and our lack of interest is in fact a smoke screen and Cesc holds out a little longer…so we get the 'feel good factor' of a major signing a little later. I really hope that our transfer business is being done now in a discrete manner…and all the journos that think they know everything like Ornstein…are totally off the scent. Signing Balotteli, Remy (and keeping Podolski) would be fine up front in my opinion and they would be around 30million. I think Lars bender would be an excellent signing, along with Cesc and a winger Sanchez…then sort out the defence with Begovic, Caulker, and Aurier and we'd look in good shape.
