Didn't Jose also try to sign Fabregas during his time at Madrid though before he went barca? Could be wrong
 
?32 million for Costa is an okay price, but if he has a good World Cup then it begins to look like a bargain.
 
To think our line-up next season could be

Courtois
Azpilicueta - Cahill - JT - Luis
Matic - Fabregas
Willian - Oscar - Hazard
Costa

Insane!
That's very, very good...for you anyway, not sure about the rest of the league!

If Cesc is signed him and Matic would of cost just 1 mil more than Luiz cost PSG
Mind you, that's not necessarily saying you signed Cesc and Matic for bargain price, just that PSG overspent astronomically on Luiz.

Imagine if we signed Pogba as well! Most people agree we have somewhere between 120-150m to spend this summer. If reports are to be believed then Fab + Costa will cost about 65, leaving us another 60-90m to buy another left back + potentially another player. If you really want to delve into fantasy land, imagine if Kroos genuinely wanted to leave and the purported 30 fee was real...

Courtois
Azpilicueta - Cahill - JT - Luis/Shaw
Matic - Pogba/Ramires
Willian/Shirley - Kroos/Fabregas - Hazard
Costa/Lukaku

A man can dream.
What, no Oscar? To be honest, you only really need a left-back, centre-midfielder and striker, assuming Courtois returns. If you managed to sign Shaw, Fabregas and Costa (which are fairly realistic), you would have one of the best, if not the best, teams in the league for years to come.

There would be no excuses for Jose if we dont win the league with that team. None.
 
So pique confirmed by mistake in a press conference Fabregas has pretty much completed a €33 mil move haha but he did not say which club.

Not sure what we should think about this.
 
Fantastic business by Chelsea, getting Fabregas and Costa before world cup.
 
Apparently now RAC1 who I've heard are a very reliable source in Spain have confirmed Cesc is joining Chelsea. Can anyone confirm how reliable they are?
 
If Cesc joins you lot, I wonder if Arsenal fans will still like him. He's still very-liked at the Emirates, as many fans don't blame him for leaving (although they blame his Spain and Barca teammates for making comments and 'forcing' him to wear a Barca shirt after a Spain match - if I recall correctly), so it'll be interesting to whether/how their attitude towards him changes or not.

They will boo him ofc. Nothing surprising. Not sure about hatred.
 
Can hardly blame the guy for going to Chelsea when Arsenal didn't want him...but I stopped expecting logic from match going fans long ago.
 
Reports in Spain and Graham Hunter saying Barca new manager not willing to sell to CL rival.
So, Fabregas is heading for Newcastle? I seriously doubt Fabregas gives a **** what Barcelona want, when they are the ones trying to get rid of him. (No offense to Newcastle).

If Barca don't want to sell to a CL rival or any club for that matter they wont. No matter what the player wants. Plus Cesc is not that type of player.

You're confusing the manager for the club here, always a dangerous mistake when Barca are involved.

I doubt he will want to stay a benchwarmer for Barcelona. We shall see how this develops.
