Thendo

So he apologises for falling into Chiellini with his teeth first and thus leaving a bitemark in his shoulder, but promises to never do it again? Wtf? Sounds like that rumor about Barca wanting him to apologise before any transfer might be true.

Maybe because the other loanies have played games for us.

...Fabregas.

Lol, if the Moyes to Galatasaray rumors are true I think he will be so out of place there.

Definitely overpriced, but the reported £100k/week wage is just ridicolous and shows utds desperation... Would have liked him playing for us, but not on those conditions.

He needs a long long, LONG ban after this, he has obviously not learned anything from last time. I say give him a 2-3 year ban from international football...disgusting behavior.

Someone should do a new updated poll on this topic.

So exciting! Didnt think we would complete this signing before Costa, hopefully it will be announced soon aswell.

Get in!

What's suprising for me is not him being loaned out but the club destination being Cologne, who have just recently been promoted. I think he could get more experience and is probably capable of doing well in a mid table Bundesliga or PL-club instead.

I know. It's just the fact that he is as excited as us about this which is kinda funny.

Lol, Lewis Baker retweeted the ESPN quotes of Fabregas joining! It's on!

Ok, that might be the case, but when it comes to twitter I see everything as just rumors/speculations unless it comes from one of the bigger, trusted sources (BBC,sky etc) otherwise it's to difficult to filter out the wannabee ITKs .

I won't trust anyone calling themself "Football_Agent9" on twitter...

Of course thats why I posted IF, I only go on what has been reported in The guardian, who usually are pretty reliable.

He really need to stop talking like this...if the quotes are true he puts the club in bad spotlight, and he isnt helping himself very much either.

Dammit, I read it as if it was the real skysports posting that, not a lame and very fake imposter account...

Lol, how funny is it that Fabregas might go for ~£30m when Utd bought Fellaini for £27m.

Ok, they seem to have more money to spend than Everton at least.

Get in! Exiting times ahead, we have a striker!

Wouldn't Wolfsburg be a step down for him from Everton, or am I misjudging their quality?

If that pic is fake, they've done a good work. Think it might be confirmed soon.

Still on the fence on this transfer. He's a quality left back who will certainly improve us, but his age and reported fee is quite worrying. A price around 10 - 12m would be reasonable, but the reported numbers of £20m + is just silly for a 28 year old left back.. Would rather we just splash 5m more and throw in Bertrand or something for Shaw, who might be less experienced but is still one of the best left backs in premier league at the age of 18 and would help us keep an "english core" in the team. Then again in the end, it's up to how Mou and the board feel about it and I trust them to make the best choice for the club.
