    Cesc Fàbregas

    Man United insiders on Twitter remain very confident of a deal, and negotiations are said to be in advanced stages (mainly surrounding the loyalty aspects of Cesc's current contract, and I'm sure potential benefits owed to Arsenal if certain steps are not taken). This thing might actually happen.

    Cesc Fàbregas

    In the biggest matches against teams who might actually push out, that's great. However, against 90% of competition Leo must drop because there is no space behind. Fabregas can take a turn as the furthest forward when that happens, but he can't do that when he's playing a CM possession. He...

    Cesc Fàbregas

    I think Cesc, with his agent Darren Dein, has been covering his bases this summer. I would not expect him to take United's offer, but he has clearly been setting the table for something. Tito could not consistently integrate Cesc tactically, and we'll see if Tata also has his chance to make it...

    Wilfried Zaha

    This guy is going to be really, really good as he gains top level experience and refines his skills. Time will tell if Moyes can bring out his best. Zaha will be a great test for Moyes and his staff at the top level in talent development.

    Expect something definitive on Cesc shortly. United are putting in a club record bid with attempt #3. United insiders on Twitter acknowledge this is a very odd pursuit, but they are translating the silence of the player himself as encouragement (only others at the club have commented)...

    Sergi Roberto

    Sergi R is awesome. I'm sold. He is so smart it's scary. His positioning is flawless. He knows exactly where to be and when to be there. He is exactly what La Masia teaches in terms of "reading the match." It's easy to see he has a great head on his shoulders. I have a feeling he will...

    Pre-season friendlies 14/15

    Sergi Roberto's capacity to read a match is incredible. Flawless positioning. Me gusta. Me gusta mucho.

    Tottenham rejected a bid of 98.5m euros from Real Madrid for Gareth Bale (BBC). Wow.

    Porto are referring Jackson Martinez (CF, Colombia) suitors to his 40m euro clause. I think I'd like to own Porto. PROFIT MACHINE. Can't wait to see Colombia at next summer's World Cup.

    Classic South American tactic. This is one of the things Pep poached from his admiration of Menotti/Bielsa.

    I think Luiz is actually a better covering defender than Pique. Luiz is a better athlete than Pique and has more range as a result. If Tata arranges things correctly, they could compliment one another. They'd just need to develop an understanding when one decides to venture forward and...

    Keisuke Honda

    Allegri for sure. He seems to prefer a pure carrilero midfield. Sacrilege for Milan to not have a proper 10.

    Various Spanish and English sources expect a formal approach from Barca for David Luiz this week (rumored to be 29 million euros).

    Ancelotti has them set up as an even more counter-attacking team than Mourinho. Bale would only add to that if signed.

    Chelsea are supposedly going for Botafogo youngster Doria. Doria is the most highly regarded young defender in Brazil after Marquinhos. He has a buyout clause of 11 million pounds, and the Botafogo president says he will only leave if a club pays the clause. That'll be a great piece of...

    Pre-season friendlies 14/15

    Did really well. Sergi Roberto was very good. The youngsters played some top drawer team football. Samper will run song out if the city before long. Busquets clone.

    Tito stepped down as Barça's coach. New coach to be announced next week.

    Very sad news. Tito, I wish you the best in your recovery. Hopefully you will be stronger with a clear mind. Rosell should have listened to Tito after the season. Tito offered his resignation twice over the past six months. He knew he wouldn't be able to carry on, but Rosell's reluctance...

    Yep, that'd be about the smartest thing Rosell could do this summer....which makes me think it won't happen. Montoya is ready-made. That money could be re-invested really well as it wouldn't be needed to buy a starting right back.
