Ronaldo was, and is, a much, much better player. Also I don't believe he only would've gone to real Madrid...barca would've been an option at a lower price. But mostly it's the 474738 goals a season thing why ronaldo went for a lot. Cesc last season was garbage.Quote:

- bid comes in
- we strip cesc of the captaincy, if it was 2010 we buy ozil and tell cesc he is the new central playmaker and that he is no longer wanted at the club ad we never really rated him that much anyway.
- if we had ultras we'd put a word in and tell them to have a word with the fabregas family like they do in argentina. here we can use our middle class twitter warriors. basically just need a bit of third-party pressure for him to fack off out of it.
- £45m in the back pocket, job done. and if he wouldnt accept real he would defo accept a rival bid from ac/inter milan as a 2-3 year stop-gap just to get out of arsenal.
VITA thinking. I like it. It, of course, breaks all kinds of human rights or terrorism laws but it would work.Quote:

Lots of great points here.
Personally, I think that a RM move for Fabregas would not have been impossible - this is a commercial world. RM has the rep and the likelihood of winning things and is Spanish.
I'm not going to put all the blame on AW because I think Fabregas himself is at fault for making it too easy for the club he is really loyal to, and the manager was in a very very difficult situation.
But where Wenger was at 'fault' was in being too honourable to Fabregas and willing to accomodate his wishes. An admirable loyal quality maybe, but one that betrays a relationship that is too close to the player, and what is more is another example of how his principles come first, and the interests of the club second. Wenger may have thought that he's made the club enough money for a discount fee not to be an issue, but for me this isn;t the point.
look at the Tevez situation and the fee City demanded, now look at us and Cesc....you are right mate we were fucked thanks to WengerQuote:

So should we have kept him and let him play shit for another season then, because he nev er would have given his all. And all than dump him in the reseves, would never have happend.Quote:

Clubs hands weren't tied, they were reaching, grabbing, clawing for cash as usual.Quote:
