Really annoying!

Stick to vous instead of tu. 😉

Despite those frustrations, Fábregas added:"If Arsenal want to keep being the club they have been, they must always remain under his [Wenger's] control because he is the best and everyone respects him. He will always be the best person I have met in football." He also insisted that Arsenal have the squad to continue to compete.

Fabregas, I'll thank you and your Barcelona team mates to mind your own fucking business and not comment about our club anymore.

Some of it seems genuine enough to me.
Must be feeling some guilt having just betrayed his father figure.

He might have two loves but they are Barcelona and Wenger not Barcelona and Arsenal.

Barca should have spent their money on Aguero, he's better.

Rex

Aguero can´t do what Cesc does and vice versa. They already have a 24 year old who can do everything Aguero can do and then some, while they have a 32 year old who is close in ability to what Cesc offers.

Qwiss

They also have a 20year old who does what Cesc does and has working hamstrings.

Argentina have Aguero, Messi and Tevez in the same attacking line up, as well as the likes of Mascherano, Cambiasso and Benega behind them.

Scary.

Qwiss

Spain and Germany both have better squads though.

Captain

Think Argentina run them close (or better them) on paper but they don't seem capable of putting it together on the international stage. Remember that they still have guys like El flaco, Di maria and Lavezzi behind that lot. Higuain too.

Qwiss

All Argentinas talent is at the one end, they don't have the balance of the others. They should do alot better though, imagine what Hiddink could do with them. Actually you know who'd be great for them, Wenger. Lets swap Wenger with them for Benega.

Arsenal value the deal at £40m, which factors in a £4m loyalty payment the player has waived. Also included in the package are performance and success-related add-ons while Arsenal have a 50% sell-on clause. Barcelona have waived any options or sell-on clauses in relation to Jon Toral and Hector Bellerin, the young players who moved from the Camp Nou to Arsenal earlier in the summer.

Are you saying Thiago does what Cesc does? 😆

Captain

They don't really need "what Cesc does". Thiago doesn't do it, but Cesc fits perfectly in between Xavi and Thiago in terms of age and experience.

Claudius

The deal makes sense given just how much mileage Xavi and Iniesta have in the last 3 years and ahead of Euro2012, and the fact that Thiago is a bit raw. Unlike Arsenal, Barca are not going to risk putting their club's playmaking in the hands of a kid. All will play significant minutes, Barca will win things and that mob will be happy. Then next year, they will start thinking that maybe David Villa is overplayed and start talking about how RvP potentially has Catalan DNA

Arsenal have the first option to buy Cesc Fàbregas back, if Barça decide to sell him in future. Interesting development.

Just need to get Gazidis, Robin, Jack et al talking about Cesc coming home every other day and we're all set.

Qwiss

No big team in Europe would sign Robin as their main striker.

And when I say the real value of the deal to Arsenal is much higher than Barca's announcement, people think I am crazy. 😐

kamikaze

fabregas is not coming back, the value of that clause is essentially zero.

If he stays healthy this season, which of course is a huge if, and performs anywhere near what he did last year - there will be a lot of suitors for RVP.

Qwiss

Barca's announcement was clearly bullshit. The whole "we said we wouldn't pay over €30m and the initial payment is €29m so we didn't" stuff was just them desperately trying to save face after their previous statements.

Quite possibly but they still wont have him as their main striker.

Rex

Why not?
