Mourinho and Ibrahimovic have an excellent relationship going back to their days at Inter.

What an absolute load of crap haha, Barca lose one midfielder after picking Cesc over Thiago and are now gonna sell him, Right...

Hate sky.

Can't agree with Sky on the supposed fee, though.

The Garay deal's been 'just about done' since last year.
It also makes no sense.
Sam
Barca are also linked with Valbuena, but still it seems like bullshit we're going to get Cesc. Barca would be mad to sell him tbh.
Ninja
Seems we've actually bid. I maintain there's no way that Barca will sell in a million years though.

Which means there's no chance of it happening now.

One bid and everyones on this like a fly on shit, same with Baines, whereas most Thiago hype came from Twitter.
Unless it's been leaked on purpose to show that the club is doing something and trying to shut up the idiots.

Fabregas doesn't want to leave anyway
Ninja
No way we've made a bid without talking to his agent first Slashman, it's the Barca wanting to sell him aspect I have problems with.
Also APPARENTLY, Arsenal's first refusal only comes in to play if Fabregas specifically asks to join Arsenal and they only get 50% on profits of a sale.
Flash.
All it means is that if Barca accept a bid for Fabregas that they have to accept a bid of the same value from Arsenal, which they would have done even without the first refusal option.

Except Arsenal's first refusal is set at £25m, no matter what Utd offer. Also, I'm pretty sure Arsenal will get 50% of any fee if he goes elsewhere
Ninja
Did you not read what I posted above?
The story going round with both of those is that Arsenal's £25m doesn't matter unless Cesc says he wants to return to Arsenal.
Furthermore the 50% only comes into effect when a transfer fee exceeds that which Barcelona paid for him.
So Arsenal's advantadge is very small.
Of course, I still don't think Barca will sell him. But unless we start to get into absolute stupid money Arsenal's advantadge equates to anywhere between £0 and a few million and they would probably balk at the fee then anywat,

No, cos you edited it later on.
Arsenal have Wenger, their advantage is a lot larger than that
Ninja
Yeah, obviously there's that stuff. I was talking about the club to club side of any deal.
If Fabregas did choose Arsenal over us in a straight shoot out I'd have a lot of respect for that because he would almost certainly be turning down more money and a better chance of winning things for the sake of loyalty. It would be very commendable.
There's nothing to suggest that Arsenal are interested or Barca are going to sell though, to either of us, so the discussion is perhaps jumping the gun
Ninja
BR.
Marquinhos appears to be on the way out but Maicon looks to be on the way in to Roma - not too sure about that one myself. Had loads of injuries lately but his performances even in his final season at Inter were far from impressive.

Also that Barca are due to sign Thiago Silva for €42m at some point this week. Which I guess means the end of Mascherano at Centre-back and more of him in midfield.
Slashman X
Pretty sure Thiago was confirmed to be staying at PSG and that Barca turned their attention to Marquinhos
