Is There Some Truth To Busquets Rumours?

Over the past week or so, the papers have been linking Manchester United with a move for the highly rated Barcelona midfielder, Sergio Busquets.

Aside from landing a top player for United, the press also reckoned this was seal Arsenal’s fate, with Cesc Fabregas going to Spain to fill the gap in the team left by Busquets.

By and large, these rumours were laughed off. Why would the Barcelona born youngster, who has been at the club since he was 17, choose to come to England?

However, his agent, Josep Maria Orobitg, hasn’t ruled out a future move away from the club. Busquets’ current contract expires in 2013, so there’s always the possibility Orobitg is trying to get an even better contract extension for his client.

“Sergio is a Barca fan and now his head is at the club, but it is normal to consider other options,” Orobitg said. “I have received calls from some big clubs asking me about his situation, but his future is in the hands of Barcelona.”

    dear god i hope not, i hate his play acting and behavior (serial diver and remember peek-a-boo?), and i feel he is way overrated- he is just made to look better because of messi xavi iniesta and co.

  2. pigscanfly says:

    we don’t need someone who cheats and gets his former teammate sent off by play acting. lets hope we get someone with more class instead

  3. AON: Americans Out Now says:

    No Biscuits…He falls like a gal !!

  4. Troy says:

    I would rather have an enema than see that bloody bastard wearing a Manchester United shirt.
    He is surely the most dishonest player in Europe.
    There are surely better defensive midfielders than him.

  5. Ash says:

    He is a good player but he is like luis suarez.No class.If i was asked one player who i would sign that would be schweinsteiger.I know he has signed a new contract with bayern but he is a class player.

  6. BerbaGod says:

    No thanks..
    1. doesnt fit the bill.
    2. he is a cunt.

  7. Paul Parker says:

    fuck this greasy cunt, poor mans Yaya
    ______________________________

    Afternoon Lads, wheres the “before the Yids game” thread then?

  8. Troy says:

    If we are looking out for a holding midfielder I would prefer to see us signing Roma’s Danielle de Rossi. He may be on the wrong side of 25 and maybe expensive but he takes no prisoners and you underestimate his footballing ability at your peril.

  9. mattbw7 says:

    well it seems theres oppostition to busquets, cos we dont have any cheating dishonest twats at UTD

  10. Alom says:

    he is a quality player.. went through the Barca ranks and forced Yaya Toure out of the team.. calm, cool and collected.. Michael Carrick.. but with more potential..

    would be a great buy for our midfield… the only issue is i HATE his play acting and he has very little professionalism..

  11. 11am says:

    Poor mans yaya?

    I dont particually want him but he’s better than that carthorse

  12. rat1p says:

    Hopefully a cup of bullshit,cant stand him hes a dishonest cheating barca youthplayer end of line

  13. bertiebirdman says:

    No spics please!

  14. mattbw7 says:

    I agree no spics, who the fuck would Iniesta or Xavi, spic bastards

  15. slim says:

    Hmmm don’t know about this. He’s as good as Yaya maybe not as strong. They both play the same role.
    Not too sure if i’d wan’t him though, i mean we’ve got carrick; i’m not Michael biggest fan but i’d rather we stick to him or get someone else much much better. Who ? Well thats the million dollar question isn’t it ?

  16. 11am says:

    Todays team news going in here? – no spurs thread?

  17. Altonian says:

    I can’t believe people are actually coming out with all this diving and play acting bullshit, do people forget about Nani and worst of all Ronaldo? Let’s be honest, he’s a top player and would get in our team.

  18. Eddiemunro says:

    Good player (apart form the snideyness) but seems to be one of those that’ll never leave Barcelona.

    Surely Rodwell is a more likely purchase? Young and English, gives an extra option at centre back.

  19. 11am says:

    I agree Altonian who’s to say he’d be the same
    At utd, surely fergie wouldn’t want that

  20. Paul Parker says:

    [unfolds neatly folded A4 sheet of paper]

    Facts: who has scored more goals and provided more assists this season? ;)

    aaah you know what forget it lads, At least we can agree he’s the bigger CUNT or did I miss Yaya rolling around on the floor peeking through his hands like a greasy little continental faggot? I hope there is no fucking truth in this rumour Scott, really do.

    Personally im happy with our midfield, especially with Cleverly coming back and Ando hitting form, but If I had to choose I know who I’d rather see in a Red shirt gentlemen and it wouldn’t be some Cunt who clearly can’t handle the shirt Yaya won the treble in and wore for 3 years as Barca’s main central mid… Sometimes I wonder if you lot actually watch football Lol, United was in for Yaya too but the price was too high, but you lot would prefer a cheating cunt who DOESN’T have 3 years experience cos Barca want him out after 6 months? Hilarious mate.

  21. arijc says:

    Scholes in the traveling squad today.

  22. Kings says:

    No thanks. We need a playmaker and a goalkeeper if we are to dip into the transfer market.

  23. 11am says:

    we need a player in that role more than a playmaker imo ando can be attatcking and playmaker, im confident in his ability to do the business consistantly, but i agree goal keeper is most important.

  24. Corea says:

    No, thanks )

  25. TK says:

    His agent is just trying to get him a better deal from Barca.

  26. TonyBee says:

    TK @ excactly

  27. TK says:

    But i have to admit that we need a couple of Midfielders.

  28. TonyBee says:

    Arjic@ Has Scholesy got his kit with him or is he just supporting the lads ?

  29. 11am says:

    i reckon scholes will be on the bench, he had his wash bag with him anyway

  30. bchilds says:

    No thank you! Agent just tryign to get more £s for him and the player by using the United name.

  31. TonyBee says:

    PP practising origami with his folded A4

  32. Anti says:

    He`s another Carrick… do we need him?
    Gimi a Lassana or a healthy Hargry

  33. KeanosMagicHat says:

    His agent is just using the interest from other clubs to negotiate a better deal.

    I’m more interested in these Qatari rumours that keep bubbling along.

  34. HARGREAVES' CURLY HAIR says:

    Busquets light as a feather and a cheating diving cunt any ways I’d prefer someone else like Lass Diarra @Scott that picture just brings awful memories :(

  35. toheed says:

    plz plz dont sighn him ive senn him play a couple of times doesnt do anything for the team apart from diving

  36. 11am says:

    How shit are the dippers!

  48. HARGREAVES' CURLY HAIR says:

    Lads surely we can beat the scousers down in their home ground don’t you reckons they look like utter rubbish at the moment…wait they’ve been like that for most of the season! Hahaha

  49. arijc says:

    @11am- Yes. By a few seconds :)
    @HARGREAVES’ CURLY HAIR – Yep. Depending on Nani and Giggsy for the creativity.
    Well done to Ryan for his 600th league appearance.

  50. Paul Parker says:

    Lol @ no Spics.

    Bottom line don’t need him, I’d rather have a million PL players in the middle before him, no pedigree in Europe, he’s just about got 6 months pedigree in La Liga FFS – can’t see us spending Biscuit money this window anyway, and if Alec does brings in somebody in the Summer great, but if not, lets just get Clevery and Valencia back and keep Nani and Anderson ticking over. Park, Fletcher and Carrick are proven players already. Scholes and Giggs have another Season in them… Obi and Gibson will have another season under their belts….

    Basically, lets get a good look at our midfield this Summer first, before we start making crazy rash and wreckless decisions like signing this Cunt for a fortune. seriously can’t believe people think he’s better than Yaya btw. Based on what Gut Instinct? Who scores and creates more goals? Who breaks up more play? More to the fucking point who has the expeiernce of winning things and is more built for this League? That Greasy Cunt? Picture him against Stoke away from home – rolling around – Do me a fucking Favour! If we do sign a new midfielder Alec, can we have somebody with some BALLS and an Adams Apple please? Since when did UNITED have POOFS in central midfield? Sort it out lads! Give me Carrick or Fletch any day of the weak in the middle. Barca want Cesc to go forward and we already have Ando, meanwhile Fletcher is having a blip this season but on his day his does the holding midfield role perfectly. Those two in form in midfield is as good as any partnership in Europe. We don’t need scraps from anyone Fellas.

  51. Paul Parker says:

    Gutted No Ando? Wonder what thats about – anybody know? At least he’s on the bench with Hernandez and Owen. Guess the plan is starve the Gypsy with Fletch and Carrick in the middle and Rafa the Scrappa keeping Bale quiet. Vidic and Rio to man handle Lurch. Good to see our strongest back four all available tho. Come on Rooney you cunt make your last Season memorable!!! Nani to score the winner with another Cracker against the Yids!!! Come On Lads!!!!

  52. Justin10RvN says:

    for the love of god NO!!!! i despise this shit player way too overhyped falls down everytime theres a breeze in the stadium he’s an all around useless bit of a player…..RAGE/RANT ended

  53. Costas says:

    I hope not. Barca won’t sell and I hope we buy someone who’s less of a cunt.

  54. Paul Parker says:

    lol, I posted that other post about Biscuit ages ago thought it wouldn’t show^^ didn’t bother retyping it.

    but while im on it :) don’t compare Nani to Busquet mate.

    Last I checked he was fighting the Nazi’s single handed in Europe,
    That greasy cunt was rolling around like a red light district whore.

    No fucking comparison.

  55. jellybean says:

    lol, my dad was just saying that the liverpool players seem to have grown in confidence with the return of “King Kenneh”. so much for that. surprised Ando isn’t starting, could have used his energy in midfield. Fletch needs to be on his A game today. Hope Berba puts one over his old team.

  56. Gee says:

    Urm the biscuit man was the reason Yaya left Barca, Yaya hadn’t been a regular for the last 2 seasons he was there and got pissed off coz he thought he was a better player. Not that I want Busquet but his play forced Yaya out of the team and off to Shitty. Busquet is a good player and a little snide but maybe sometimes you need a little shite like that in your team. I would prefer (as someone mentioned earlier) De Rossi from Roma, he is a quality player!!

  57. Always Be Closing says:

    bertiebirdman mattbw7 Paul Parker

    Fuck the lot of you racist little cunts, how the hell do you think it’s acceptable to spout that shit and laugh about it?

    Disgusting, don’t come back here.

  58. NotoriousRedDevil says:

    Some of the comments on here are down right fucking stupid. Considering our policy is to buy them young at the moment I cannot for the life of me fathom why theres so much venom spewed against someone who clearly offers something different to what we have. Some of you bang on about how we don’t buy established players we make them and yet we’re linked with biscuits who still isn’t the finished article and you spew shit like S***ks etc and have a pop at me for calling spurs fans Yids which is what they call thmeselves fucking hypocrites you lot know who you are.

    For what its worth even though he dives I’m sure if he joined management would have a word but like someone else said earlier I think this is a ploy to get a better contract. Also we don’t need a playmaker that role’s been earmarked for Anderson if what Fergie said is anything to go by.

  59. Sindrinho says:

    This is not what we need. Let´s go for an offensive midfielder instead. Besides that he was a fucking cunt when we played them in Rome

  60. willierednut says:

    I think some are forgetting the biggest stumbling block of them all, We can’t afford him!

  61. Gee says:

    @ Notorious

    Have to agree with you mate!! Yids are what the Spurs lot call themselves, in fact there firm is called the Yid Army or was in my youth, so you are in no way being racist mate!!

  62. Phoenix Red says:

    Spurs fans also sing “Yid Army, Yid Army, Yid Army” so …………………..????

  63. Phoenix Red says:

    Cant agree with other commentators about “spics” though, this is from United fans who’ve sung their hearts out for Ronaldo in the past, and support Nani still!!!??? Last time i checked they are both from the Iberian peninsula too! And not adverse to the odd sniper attack aswell! To use a players backround/culture to express their dislike of said player is just rediculous, and says more about the commentators, than anything else.
    For the record, i’m sure this is just agent bullshit, end of. Love to hate the bitters, but there’s no denying Yaya Toures’ performances for them this season.
    As far as our midfield is concerned, really looking forward to seeing more of Tom Cleverly once he gets back from injury.

  64. Busby says:

    Busquets is brilliant and anyone who doesn’t think so is a numpty or just blinded by hatred of his personality. Precision is the name of his game. He passes crisply and to feet and he moves and tackles with purpose. He isn’t a heart-on-his-sleeve chest thumper who clatters people but he is clinical and professional which is more important in my view. We need a creative mid as well (Cleverley?) but Busquets would be a great replacement to the outgoing and unlucky Owen Hargreaves.

  65. Kings says:

    Stop this racist shit please. We had that English Cock sucker spurs fan spouting that sort of shit in the post relating to Gareth Bale. Let’s not stoop to that level. Oh by the way, I am British Asian as my parents are Sri Lankan and I was born here, therefore, I have zero tolerence on racism.

  66. Paul Parker says:

    excuse the non football rant but Steady on fucking hell,

    I’ve just read the bollocks written on this page now.
    race really is a funny topic on this site,
    funny as in ODD because its not CONSISTENTLY ADDRESSED

    When Ballotelli was the hot topic, and I was explaining that he was ACTUALLY ATTACKED walking to his car after a game buy A GROUP OF REAL RACISTS, and I explained about the fact he used to play week in week out infront of 60’000 fans with half of them calling him this that and the third Racist Names… like THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A BLACK ITALIAN ETC…. or the classic GO BACK HOME YOU BLACK CUNT ETC…. all that since he was 16…. when I explained all those FACTS half you cunts didn’t even give a fuck, not even about him being ATTACKED FOR BEING BLACK, and thats not words on a fucking website thats happened in real life, he could have died.

    But while 99% of you made light about that, look how many of you wanna cry a river because Busquet was called a Spic on a website? Why couldn’t you just respond “knock it off Lads dont say Spic” I nearly typed that myself, but I took it light hearted and laughed instead. Why did some of you have to act like it was the most offensive and vile and disgusting thing youve ever heard? Like SPIC is the EPITOMY OF RACISM somehow? Since When? 1492? Like them Cunts didn’t paint their faces Black for Lewis Hamilton and his Family? Like NIGGER and SPIC are equally offensive? Show me 500 years of Genocide against a people called SPICS. How come you wasn’t all so appalled about the Balotelli thread but your suddenly appalled now? Fuck all people on this site didn’t care bout the REAL RACISM Balotelli faced as a professional teenage footballer but Busquet is being treated like a victim here? Are you Serious?

    SELF RIGHTIOUS CUNTS
    GO FUCK YOURSELF

    Quick to Cry Racism over words typed on a screen but turn a blind eye to REAL RACISM and argue Balotelli brought it on himself. U DIRTY CUNTS. if you dont like the word Spic fine, just say so, but don’t act like the word is horrendous, inhumane and dripping with Blood cos it fucking Ain’t…

  67. Paul Parker says:

    Again, apologise for the rant, but some of you know FUCK ALL ABOUT ANYTHING

    The word Spic isn’t drenched in Centuries of Blood like the word Nigger, or Anti-Semitism, its a just a piss take from the 1920′s based on the classic line “No SPICKA de Inglish” thats all it is, no dark periods of history, tens of millions massacred, imperialism, colonialism, revolution… no gas chambers no Star of David armbands… no Opium Wars… Hiroshima…. nothing. FUCK ALL. Its just a Piss Take, and on top of that its an American piss take its got nothing to do with Europe. IN ENGLAND everybody knows the word Spic means CLEAN, like “Spic and Span” – Clean and Tidy.

    So please, before acting as if somebody copied and pasted MIEN KAMP on the thread, just say you don’t like the term aye? The fact is the Spanish have a long history of oppressing people and labelling them, not of being oppressed themselves, a bit like the British really, so save your pitty for some other poor bastard suffering REAL racism aye?

  68. NotoriousRedDevil says:

    @ Paul Parker Quit acting like a dick. 99% turned a blind eye! Get your maths right the number on this blog wasn’t that high. We agreed on the Balotelli thing so you can fuck off on that regard. To not want biscuits because he’s a s***k or a cheating cunt is ridiculous whatever way you want to spin it. You also harp on about how United make players. Well how old is biscuits 22. Real fucking old. If we do sign him and he goes on to do well it will be us who made him like Nani, like Anderson like the Da Silvas. No difference. Have some consistency with what you’re saying before you go on a rant on everyone being self righteous cunts cos the dicks who called hima s***k are also the ones who gave it to Balotelli who you been laughing and joking with.

  69. Paul Parker says:

    @NRD, If we agreed on Balotelli then im CLEARLY not talking to you am I? thats number one.

    number two – nobody in the world is seriously saying they don’t want Busquets because he is SPANISH don’t be so fucking stupid lol Xavi, Iniesta, VILLA, all these Spanish players and more could walk into our current side and NOBODY in the world would complain. (As long as we didn’t pay too much) Since when did the Spanish become so oppressed and discriminated against anyway? Do me a fucking favour, it was BANTER, like calling Bayern Munichs NAZI’S. Even ALec after the match said “You kown what the Germans are like” – Whoever said Spick was having a laugh, it was banter, unlike the conversation about Balotelli which was far from a laugh. (I.E an actual racially motivated attack on a teenage player compared to the word Spic typed on ROM)

    number three – I didn’t say I wouldnt want Busquet because he was 1) Spanish or 2) a cunt, what I ACTUALLY said if you read my post is I wouldn’t want him to join us because I don’t think he could cope in the English League. Looking impressive in Spain is one thing, playing in England is a completely different matter, and I don’t think Busquet would hit the ground running. If we are gonna pay a fortune for a midfielder I’d rather we didn’t snap up the first Barca reject available. End of. My opinions got fuck all to do with him being Spanish don’t be SOFT IN THE HEAD, Ronaldo is the best player in the world by a mile for me and he’s Portuguese! Lol, Jesus. United does develop young players, but we also pick the right ones – I don’t think Busquets is the right one for our CENTRAL MIDFIELD – if Anderson if the future like Alec said he is, we need a sitting, combating CM not a play maker. Busquet is surplus to our requirements, and on top of that I think he’s over-rated. Oh, and he’s a Cunt too Lol.

  70. Always Be Closing says:

    Shitload of ranting for what exactly?

    Calling Biscuits that name or laughing with people that do it is disgusting. Because you (and indeed I) don’t see it as comparable to the n-word doesn’t make it any better, it makes you (still) a fucking idiot. Stop trying to justify yourself, you look like a prat.

  71. Kings says:

    Paul Parker – Calling people here cunts makes you sound like a total prick. Fuck off. You are no better than racist cunts like John Terry. This is the 21st century, yet you still think it’s fashionable to use racist names. I prefer to use the universal word ‘cunt’ rather than discriminate someone on grounds of race, gender or religion.

  72. Joe smoke says:

    @King

    U like to use the universal word cunt? Is it only when you’re calling someone a cock sucker (homophobe) that you like to be specific? In your previous post you describe someone as an English cock sucker… Homophobic and racist.. And you have the cheek to take the high ground here.

  73. Dave Malaysia says:

    Firstly, the dude like many others , just trying to up the ante with barca on his new contract.

    It has been done by xavi agent too in the past.

    Agreed his playacting is beyond belief, not a kind of player Fergie would go for.

    Finally, do consider that we Manutd fans are different but some of u just have racists and idiotic brains.

    To actually try explaining why its ok to be racists ,and asking offended readers to fuck off, are u drunk or are u unable to think???

  74. GoatinaUnitedShirt says:

    Is owning a SPIC racist because if it is Ill gladly throw my aupair out the car into a layby. I wouldn’t dream of calling that Dago bastard a Spic, I have far too much respict for her.
    Oh my goddd!!!! Its a fucking joke. Any Dagos out there I appologise whole heartedly, if only the Armada would have succeeded then there may have been a little more interacial blending and you wouldnt look so fekkin ugly.
    As for Biscuits, havent a clue, dont watch the spanish league as its shite and is like watching the scottisn league. Not bad football par say just that if its not the top two then its pointless and just going through the motions.

  75. Paul Parker says:

    racist for laughing at someone being called a spic? I don’t think so mate.
    BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DISCRIMINATION AND RACISM FELLAS
    Rude? yes, Out of order? I guess so if your that way inclined… but racist?

    Lmao @ GoatinaUnitedShirt

    @ Joe Smoke, exactly and whats next we can’t call the germans JERRYS anymore? Somebody better tell my Grandma. And I guess calling the rent boys RENT BOYS is HOMOPHOBIC? Jesus Christ this is a football website not Amnesty International. Everybody on here knows what the REAL racist words are, thats why nobody types them…. Ever.

    @ whoever is appalled

    Fair enough from time to time ppl might get offended at the banter on here, I have done, but dont start calling people racist pick up your ball and go home, thats a bit soft mate, HAVE A CONVERSATION AND MAKE YOUR POINT – but dont type bollocks like “fuck off your racist” – because that makes light of real racism in the world, and makes you look quite niave and, well, stupid really. The worlds gone mad, I remember when you had to be a conquered people, victims of genocide, rape and enslavement or suffering incredible widespread hardships BECAUSE OF YOUR RACE to be a victim of RACISM. But nowadays every tom, dick, and arry who feels slighty discriminated against wants to cry wolf and be a victim of racism too. like the BNP or Le Pen claim Europeans are. Its pathetic. British, French, Spanish, Italian, German, they all have insulting discriminatory names for eachother but are people from these former colonial powers suddenly victims of racism themselves? Do me a fucking favour.

  76. smartalex says:

    Racism is never acceptable.
    Prejudice is never acceptable.
    Banter is acceptable.

    in an open, public forum the onus is on the poster to clearly avoid racism.

    Expect vitriolic anger if you cross the line, even accidentally.
    If you are unable to bear that response, avoid any racially ambiguous comment.
    If your comment is misunderstood,explain it without furthering the descent to depravity.

    To those who feel wronged, or feel that a comment is racist, first clarify the offending remark with the poster, else you are guilty of prejudice.

  77. willierednut says:

    I want to hear my mate RedScots thoughts on this matter lol. They can’t blame you this time pal lmao. Furthermore, I hope some of the saintly souls on this blog, never run into some of my former friends, hence, I said former lol.

    who was that willie?? lol
