I feel we were cheated with Fabregas (like Cole).

Not really.

We stole him (legally) from Barca when they couldn't sign professional contracts with players under 18 or whatever. He came to advance his career and stayed here 8 or so years.

Then we didn't win anything while he improved and he wanted to leave. Barca wanted him and we got a £30m profit as we bought him for nothing. How is that being cheated? We sold him back to the club he came from ffs.

Biggus

We didn't steal him he didn't belong to them we didn't put a gun to his head.
We should have gotten 40-50M for him on the open market.

He did belong to them. He was a full time trainee.

Fabregas wasn't open to the market. He wanted to go to Barca only. That's not our fault.

Your last 3 sentences there somewhat "explains" Biggus´s vitriol when it comes to Cesc.

Imagine that - a player who has made up his mind about which club he next wants to join. Unheard of in football.

Tony Montana

No. Ronaldo knew too. Podolski knows.

Don't take your legal advice from Barcelonas press dept.

Of course it's not our fault I never said it was, he joined us freely, he used us, and he left when and to where it suited him, he's no better than any mercenary cunt like Gallas- So spare me the Cesc love in.

Tony Montana

I don't love him either.

Just don't think we were robbed. We actually win trophies and his price goes up immediately.

Burnwinter

If Fabregas was on the 'open market' he'd probably have chosen Arsenal after Barcelona, and we would've offered ourselves less than 30m for him. The whole idea's silly anyway Biggsy, players aren't commodities like cars or furniture.

Biggus

Yes yes very droll, he chose Barcelona over us he can eat shit and die.

You couldn´t tell my sarcasm there Tony? Thought it was pretty obvious.
