First Ronaldo, now Fabregas... Barca midfielder unhappy with Nou Camp life

Cesc Fabregas has admitted his frustration over his recent inconsistent performances for Barcelona.

The Spain international midfielder, who revealed his frustration at not playing every minute of every game, was substituted only 63 minutes into Barca's narrow victory over Valencia on Sunday.

Despite starting all three Primera Division games so far this term, Fabregas remains far from happy playing a cameo role for his boyhood club, having returned to the Nou Camp last summer for £30million after eight years at Arsenal.


Upset: Cesc Fabregas takes his 'unhappy face' home with him

His complaint echoes that of Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo, who refused to celebrate his brace against Granada due to feeling 'sad' for 'professional reasons'.

Fabregas told Radio Marca: 'There's no such thing as a great substitute in the world of football.

'I couldn't tell you what makes a great substitute.

'I always wish my team-mates well and put a happy face on.

'If I have to take my unhappy face home then so be it, but I would never let my team-mates or manager see it.'

The versatile 25-year-old competes for a starting berth in the centre of the park with Andres Iniesta, Xavi, Sergio Busquets and new recruit Alex Song, his former Gunners team-mate.


'Everybody likes to play every minute of the season,' he added.

'I've always said that I play for the best team in the world, but I came here to compete, to learn and enjoy, not to sit wracking my brains.

'The manager knows what I can offer. But across the three positions that I can play, I am competing with the three best players in the world.

'I'm delighted to be a part of this team but when a coach tells me I have to go, I'll go.

'But I will not make it easy for him to do so, by any means. I will keep going, looking forward to the time that things change. I came here to see out my career.'

Wow, that's some serious toys out of the pram shit for a situation that was utterly predictable.


Would you have him back?

[Niall_Quinn]

Those cocksucker scumbag motherfucker cockroach leech **** fuck greedy bastard shitbag shareholders who just sold out and robbed the club of half a bill should kick half of it back and let us buy Cesc and Ronaldo and pay them for 4 years. The very fucking least they could do to repair the damage they have done. The very fucking least they could do.

Dream on, dream on. At least the ****s are old and will be dead soon enough.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a dummy. Most could see this happening from a mile off.

I can't work out if I would take him back or not, I can see the benefit at the top end of the pitch but something tells me, no, sod him.

No way we should take him back, as much as id want him to come back. The guy cried lied like a bitch to go there. That was his dream. well he made his bed so he can lie in it.

[Injury Time]

Nah he can go fuck himself and after lots of being subbed he'll have the energy to do so, ungrateful **** the manager is extending his career :doh:

[GP]

Do you hear that?

That's the sound of the worlds smallest violin.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Wilshere---Arteta

Fabregas---Cazorla---Podolski

Giroud


Sexball, I'd call it.

I read at the time that Arsenal had a buy-back clause put in. Would be a decent panic buy. But if he moved elsewhere Arsenal would get half the money. Keep agitating, you little fuck. Works out well both ways.

[GunnerFan4Life]

All the players that have left us, he's the one i'd welcome back. I blame us for him leaving, he played with shit and its only now we're seeing SOME sort of change at the club.

[GP]

All the players that have left us, he's the one i'd welcome back. I blame us for him leaving, he played with shit and its only now we're seeing SOME sort of change at the club.

It's not even that. He just wanted to go home.

I don't begrudge him really, but sorry, we don't want you back Fralexander Hlebregas.

[GunnerFan4Life]

I never blamed him tbh, each time barca came calling he came out and said he's happy and dismisses the rumours. He may of went on strike that summer but i can't really blame him.

[Marc Overmars]

I'd have him back for sure, especially with Arteta here to babysit him. He can go marauding and GHELing all he wants then.

He's a quality player ultimatley and I'm not going to turn my nose up at that. He never disrespected the club and in the unlikely circumstance that he'd like to return, I think Wenget would have him back as well.

January loan bid tbf.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

He'd come back here, too.
I reckon he knows he's fucked up. Oh well.

[AKBapologist]

Straight swap with Walcott...

[Xhaka Can’t]

It aint going to happen.

But if it did, I'd be happy.

I fucking hate Barcelona, they are utter utter **** scum, but they are his boyhood Club and I can't blame anyone wanting to play for the Club they supported as a kid.

[Marc Overmars]

He'd come back here, too.
I reckon he knows he's fucked up. Oh well.

It would obviously batter his ego but if he'd be willing to swallow his pride and return, I'd welcome him back.

Might even get a better level of performance out of him because he'd have it all to prove again.

It's a nice thought but it'll never happen.

[Niall_Quinn]

It will happen, for sure. Just like we won't be getting any injuries this season.

[Ollie the Optimist]

It aint going to happen.

But if it did, I'd be happy.

he supposdly went on strike and i think thats the problem, not wanting barca but the way he went about it allegdly. am sure if he just said sorry it would be ok.


tbh i would love him back. he is quality

But would he go to heaven?

[IBK]

Yes - I'd have him back in a heartbeat.

[AKBapologist]

If he took a pay cut and joined us, then fine - tbh, unlike RVP, Cesc is pretty limited in where he'd go next. PSG, Italy? And don't for get his buy back cause...

[Niall_Quinn]

But would he go to heaven?

Yes, but only after a purgatorial period of five centuries on the bench at Barca. Or 15 minutes playing for Stoke if he wasn't penitent.

[fakeyank]

All you guys saying there is a buy back clause.. where is this info coming from?

Arsenal basically turned him into someone very efficient and effective in the final third of the pitch. As he acknowledges himself, Tactregas will never have that degree of freedom with Messi and Iniesta in the team. He should probably man up and come back where he'd rack up shitloads of goals and assists again.

And as per other threads, we do want the best of the Spanish reserves...

Top poster on here without a doubt, you sir are a God.

[Master Splinter]

I'm not sure we have enough greaseballs in the team with Arsenal DNA to help him in his crusade to escape his current hell.

We don't have the world's shittest bald goalkeeper either to stick an Arsenal shirt on him.

Can't see this happening.

Although Tactregas could be a decent srtiking option off the bench, especially with his newly-found tactical nous.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

As for Francesc, arms are wide open.

Providing Fabregas wins one European Cup and two La Liga titles over the next five years, Arsenal will receive a further €6 million.

[Letters]

Course I'd want him back.
Not going to happen though so it's a moo point.

[gooners]

cesc was one of the best midfielders in spain last season -- and that is saying something considering his competition at barca alone!

he is going to have bad spells as he settles in.

and as he says himself, he is competing with the best players in the world for his position. HE KNEW THAT BEFORE HE WENT BACK.

non-story.

[Power n Glory]

Yep, he's welcome back in my books.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

No way we should take him back, as much as id want him to come back. The guy cried lied like a bitch to go there. That was his dream. well he made his bed so he can lie in it.

this.

he was part of the problem. he was part of a weak-minded, pussyfied mentality we had at our club which ultimately led to winning fuck all.

he's in the past and we're looking to the future. a new generation and all.

no thanks.

[Grebbo]

In a heartbeat.

Surely one of Xavi/Imiesta must be on the decline soon? Can't think Cesc will have to wait too long tbh.

[Master Splinter]

In a heartbeat.

Surely one of Xavi/Imiesta must be on the decline soon? Can't think Cesc will have to wait too long tbh.

Imiesta :bow:.

Fabregas can't do what they can. He's not technically good enough or disciplined enough to control the game like Xavi. And he doesn't have the dribbling and effortless gliding of Iniesta. They'll be ahead of him for a while.

[Cripps_orig]

Fuck him

He cried and moaned about wanting to leave us to join those ****s.

And now he has, hes crying like a **** cos he cant get in to that ****ish team cos he isnt a bigger **** than the ****s ahead of him.

Him and RVC are the biggest ****s in world football if not ever and hope they both are taken out in ther next games.

[fakeyank]

Dont need him.. he can fuck off tbh. I hope he doesnt get anymore playing time and loses his place in the Spanish team to Cazorla.

[Cripps_orig]

:popcorn:

Lets hope we never get that money

:lol:

Oh you were serious. In that case.....:haha:

He had a honeymoon period where i might add he was played up front cos in midfield he couldn't cut it but the honeymoon period ended and he was total and utter shit.

for real...we tried to do the suave ball thing but it seems that we need that little edge to our midfield.

One could say, we lacked that little bit of sharpness...

[server too busy!]

Is everyopne missing the bit at the end where he says 'I came here to see out my career'. He doesn't want to leave and nor will he ever come back, geez.

[Boss]

No chance of him coming back, but of course I'd have him here again.

Never disrespected us and will be the best midfielder in world football in a couple years.

A must get.

[I_Killed_Kenny]

he wont return but i too would take him back. arteta, caz and fabs, spanish wankfest!

[LDG]

If we was to leave Barca, it wouldn't be for us.

He'd cost too much, and his wage demands would be too high.

He'd be off to City.

Before van Purse I'd have been naive enough to say no way, our ex-captain would never shit on us like that. Now I wonder what's keeping them all from joining City. You're not a proper, ambitious player unless you are shitting on the fans from a great height.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Thing is though, his wage demands are not that high. He seems more concerned with playing for a team he loves.

[Kano]

sure why not. he's no different to another other player that wears a football shirt so if he does what is needed on the pitch, bring him in.

Nah his wage demands would be ok, as he say he loves this club etc. Only problem is once we got him you know we'd sell him to city in a year or so, go to balance those books.

No I think he means, that's what he intended to do - he also says he didn't go there to sit racking his brains but that is what has ended up happening. I just can't see what use they have for him right now, he's relying on injuries I reckon.

[Power n Glory]

Best possible option - a loan move because once Xavi is gone, Cesc will want to go back and finish his career.

[Cripps_orig]

So we let him fuck us over twice?

Fuck that

He cried like a bitch for a move. He got it and he doesnt like it now. Fuck him. Hope he rots

[Syn]

Nah, don't want him he's a penis.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

I can see how a loan move would lift the fans and the dressing room. But once he left in a year we'd have that same feeling.

Fuck that

He cried like a bitch for a move. He got it and he doesnt like it now. Fuck him.

Pretty much

[Syn]

This was always going to happen. Hes not a Barcelona player at all. If he's one of the best around its because of his running power, not technique. We can't fit him in to what we're trying but we'd change our system to suit him because he's good enough to warrant that. Barcelona won't change. Cesc should've stayed, he's English not Spanish.

You have missed the entire point.

All he said in that article was that when he is on the bench he is not happy. Which player is? Oh i forgot there is chamakh!

And he says he is competiting with the best players for his 3 positions. He knew he wasnt going to go there and dislodge xavi,iniesta,busquets,pedro,villa just like that.


All that he is saying in that article is that it is challenging -- but of course he is aware of that and accepts that.


I am sure if the sun published that article about arsenal it would have been parsed and dismissed to death.

No because you place that in to the context of his recent performances too, he started on Sunday but still looked absolutely miserable and all of that shows in his game, nothing is coming off for him. He's not going to accept it forever. Barring injuries, I don't see much of a change in store for him. We're judging him by the yardstick of how he was for us, not how it is going there.

It's not that he's going to dislodge him just like that; the most pertinent thing is, he's not going to dislodge them.

And when they shit the next one out, he'll be in the queue before Cesc anyway.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Indeed. And if it's not Sergi Roberto or Thiago that takes over from Xavi, it might well be Busquets. Cesc is too far gone from that role anyway now.

I dont think any player is going to go to barca and dislodge any of their current players in the first eleven.

I made this point in another thread --- barca is a very well oiled machine. The team they've got at tje minute is a once in a lifetime team. And unless any coach is stupid enough they are not going to just tamper with it needlessly.

Cesc will bide his time - and he is aware and accepts this. An injury to xavi and he is got the chance s to stamp his mark in his role. He is different from xavi which means the rest of the team will have to be adapted slightly -- something no coach will do at this stage when there is no need for it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He isn't the automatic next choice for that role you seem to think he is, regardless of how he might differ from Xavi. Like I have mentioned a gazillion times, Thiago probably is. He made just as many appearances as Cesc did roughly, only he wasn't played as a second striker. And as you concur, in all likelihood, Tito is not going to change that.

You say he will bide his time but I don't know how you can be that confident, he has already spoken out on radio of his displeasure and he has only had a 'rough time' of it for about six months!

It's clear to me, he made a career decision based on emotion and that always carries a danger when it involves going to another team.

Your last point seems to be the only lens you want to see cesc through. So i guess i have give up because you are going to great lengths to invalidate his decision to move to barca.

He wont be happy with being subbed and he wont be happy sitting on the bench. i dont know why this is some big talking point. When all of barcas first eleven is fit he will be on the bench. Knowing this is little consolation to any footballer. He says this in the article -- and goes on to say he is at barca to stay!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's not me that invalidated it. It was changing the system to accomodate him, which was to the benefit of he as a player initially but ultimately to the detriment of the team; for that reason it's why Guardiola called him anarchic and asked him to perform a different role, a role he was not able to contribute in the same way as before. He himself is 'invalidating' it because he doesn't make mention of the trophies he won last season, he is only talking about how he feels, not about what they did or did not achieve as a team.

You side him with any other footballer being displeased with lack of playing time which is fine but just like any other player, if it continues (and I can't see why it won't), he'll leave.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Of all the ones that jumped the good ship Arsenal. . .he is the most welcome!

He kept his mouth satisfactorily shut during the whole fiasco and didnt harp on about trophies, money etc although I am sure they were somewhere in the equation. He wanted to go back to his boyhood club and most accepted that, would have preferred him to see out his contract but when the wheels started in motion there wasnt much we could do.

I think that a Cesc returning to this Arsenal would make us a better team than had he returned to last years squad, although where would he fit in is a good question, cause Santi is proving to be the new darling. . .Cesc Jan loan? Would be interesting!

[Fats]

I said a couple of years before he went that he would be a benchwarmer at best and that he was far to inconsistant and lazy for the modern Barca player. He has never had a good full season in his whole career.

I think he will leave eventually as he will never be good enough to take over a Xavi role. He is more a support striker now anyhow. No disipline or tactical nouse.

Having said that I would take him back.

Thats the problem he should not have to bide his time he should be a stater by now hence why he went there not to wait 5 years before he has a chance to be a started ot be Xavi's replacement.

Like maccy said his decsion to go there was emotional and had he thought with his head he'd have knows waiting a couple of years then going would have been better for him.

Its like Sinclair going to city then moaning about it cause he never has game time etc when it was obvious he was going to be on the bench.

Theyre not that old. Old Etonians like Hill Wood ( the one I really hate) live into their 90s cos they are so rich and priveleged that they have had very little stress in their lives. Hill Wood even said yesterday in the Standard interview that he is going to stay until he is completely senile. Hold on - shouldnt that be now then?


Those cocksucker scumbag motherfucker cockroach leech **** fuck greedy bastard shitbag shareholders who just sold out and robbed the club of half a bill should kick half of it back and let us buy Cesc and Ronaldo and pay them for 4 years.

[Fist of Lehmann]

I wonder, a season or so on, whether those who thought Fabregas slowed our play down too much, are those who'd have him back now?

He's a top, top player. But so influential that our style of play would have to evolve again.

Anyway, it's moo in my view.

[AKBapologist]

The way Fabregas plays for spain is the way I'd want him to play at Arsenal, less deep laying playmaker, more front free, incisive wide forward. With him and Cazorla interchanging, and Cesc using is new found talent for scoring, we'd then be a top center forward away from being as good as the invincibles (aibeit a completely different style of play)

[Marc Overmars]

He was often partnered by garbage in the middle for us, players like Arteta and Cozola were the ones we needed to sign 3-4 years ago to play with him. I think he'd slot in well in the current set up, I could easily see him doing what Scholes did 10 years ago with those runs into the box.

The position Cesc would have to take is Giroud's. Go all out 4-6-0.

That's what I hope we do if Wilshere's not broken ( :haha: ), in which case we send Oxlade in the false-but-little-bit-true-as-well-you-know no.9 position. Cesc would be even better.

if he wasn't stuck with a shower of shit we may have won something.

Just think. When he comes back, we will have sold Cazorla, and most of the rest of the team.
