I think Pogba is slightly overrated around here. He's yet to prove himself as a leader in midfield, he plays with Vidal and Pirlo and needs to do much less than we'll need him, i just think people want him so much because of his profile (a tall technical CM, like Yaya Toure), kind a similar to the love for Axel Witsel in this forum. If we cant get some other CMs i would like Pogba, but i cant see why he's topping everyone's wishlist. About Vidal, he would fit really good next to Matic, but Cesc has qualities he doesnt. Vidal isnt a playmaker, he's technical but he isnt a passer. He wouldnt sit back and find the right passes like Cesc. He will make late runs into the box and score goals, he'll make runs with the ball from midfield, but so does Cesc. I feel Cesc can contribute more than him in attack while he'll contirbute more in defense. Believe Alex Song would be better for us than Cesc is absolutely unbelievable. "11 assists in 2011-2012", wow! Arsenal fans thought he was awful even in that season. And he looks so limited in Barcelona, almost like he never played football.

Guardian report the same thing: Chelsea ready to make £30m move for Barcelona’s Cesc Fábregas

They are so stupid, its amazing. "but transfers this summer will be at the behest of Louis van Gaal who is currently more keen on alternative midfield targets" How can they be favorites if LVG wants other players?

Why would we need Negredo or Bony as a 3rd striker? we saw how little Ba played last season as the 3rd, and thats when Eto'o and Torres were the main strikers. With Costa and Lukaku the 3rd should be a youngster, or Torres/Ba if they cant leave. spending big money on a 3rd striker when you play 4-2-3-1 is unnecessary.

Obviously im not really aware or care about people being off topic, you do, as its part of your role here i guess. But you're right.

Mundo Deportivo - Chelsea are very close to signing Cesc Fabregas http://www.mundodeportivo.com/20140602/fc-barcelona/el-chelsea-a-punto-de-fichar-a-cesc_54409545186.html

what do you mean? didnt get you... btw im not saying everyone is doing that, and im not really asking people, im saying that imo it will be better.

Im saying that if you care enough to post something on the forum, do it properly. You post it to inform other fans.

Who? im not saying that because of you but imo people really need to write the source of what they write... you're not making us informed, you're making us curious, so whats the point.

I do, when i know there arent many options and Cesc is a WC midfielder, and the type of midfielder we need. what makes you think he wouldnt want to go here because he wouldnt want this position? thats a bizarre assessment. Let me guess, you want Pogba in Chelsea right? you know he never really played in a double pivot? in Juve he plays in a 3-5-2 with Pirlo and Vidal, and in France he plays in a 4-3-3 with Cabaye and Matuidi. He played in the pivot maybe 2-3 times in France, but they changed it.

I dont think anyone is a "CM in a 4-3-3" or a "CM in a 4-2-3-1", you basically saying that because in his past Cesc only played in a 4-3-3, and other player played only 4-2-3-1 in his past so he's a 4-2-3-1 kind of CM... thats really bullshit for me. players can change and adapt, especially players in the calibar of Cesc.

you do know other fans thinks Terry and Ash are "cunts" as well.... right? i guess if they'll read the posts above me they'll laugh.

Isnt that obvious? I would love Pogba too, but imo Cesc is the better player in this moment.

He'll sign for us. I have that feeling now. Arsenal reportedly dont want him, so does United, Liverpool want Lallana and he seems too much for them, and Yaya wont leave City so they wouldnt try to get him.

Pogba (60m), Vidal (will probably stay), Kroos and?

Since when do you need to pay to view articles? what does he say besides Cesc can leave??

Koke's RC is 60m euros, and he said he wants to stay in Atletico.

Benatia considered by many as one of the top 5 CBs in the world. Ask a Seria A fan and he'll tell you. Anyway, Roma’s sporting director Sabatini said last night that Benatia is not for sale, and only a offer of 60m euros would make him think. Im happy City wont have him, with Kompany they would have been some pair.

United offer for Southampton was 27m pounds, thats 33m euros (and idk if the bid was accepted by them). Luis will cost at least 7m euros less. When you buy Luis (and not Shaw) you get a better LB for the next 2-3 seasons, which is a crucial period for our club when i assume we desperately want to win things.

Atletico Madrid is trying to keep Filipe Luis, but Chelsea is seriously considering paying his exit clause set at 26 million euro (Di Marzio)

"keep the same CMs and Tiago". I wrote quite clearly that not buying a top CM would be the horrible option.

I agree with all of this, and i trust them too if they still didnt fail, im just saying that i cant take this into consideration because it means so much. I saw some people on the forum consider this, i cant. I believe Jose wouldnt be so naive.

If Jose starts the season with a midfield of Ramires, Matic, Lampard, Tiago, Van Ginkel/Chalobah, which means he isnt getting a top CM, he should take a little break from football imo. For me it will say the guy lost his touch. Im one of his biggest fans but i would not defend him anyomre if after a full season with that squad he decides to keep the same CMs and Tiago. It will be a hugh disappointment. And i cant believe some fans accept this horrible option. A new top CM this summer is more than a must, and its also a hugh thing for the future of this new team.

Nobody left till now. I belive at least Koke and Miranda will stay.
