So they've gotten the better of us and their persistent underhand campaign paid off?
Our best player sold for a nonsense amount of money.
It maddens me that Cesc himself was willing to be party to this con but it grieves me to think he'll be wearing a Barca shirt instead of an Arsenal one this season.
Wenger must have planned to make up for this departure given the hole it's left in the team?
I think he has little choice but to reinvest every pound earned by this transfer on a signing that shows that we are strong, ambitious and can move on.
He has to find a player that lifts the team and the fans.
I hope that while all the Cesc rubbish was trudging on that most of the work had been done.
Wenger's ultimate failing - making one player bigger than the team, the club almost.
Is Kaka past it? Is he available?
