Barcunt fans split over Cesc
I found this comment very interesting:
Ceci - "Spending is bad for the club"
Cesc is a good player and he would be useful because Xavi can't play all of the games. But Barcelona shouldn't be spending so much money on a player who isn't a priority; the club is closing down its sections in other sports* and then want to spend €35m (£31.1m) to €40m (£35.6m) on one player who might not even start. That's not right.
*Ceci is a former hockey player for Barcelona
I mean AW should do whats best for the club in terms or if madrid were to offer say 50 million or more he should take it instead of worrying about where Cesc wants to go.Quote:

It didn't really work. It was just a painful trip down memory lane. Painful because of what is happening right now with the captaincy. Using the armband to bribe a want-away player just to hold on to him for a couple more seasons. For the player himself to just go through a summer of silence, wilfully letting these media hacks concoct any story they like.
It's a shame. Adams was captain at 21. He stayed. He didn't attract attention from other clubs, and maybe that's the difference. Or maybe it was a gulf of difference in attitude. And therein lies the rub.
taking the money for Cesc now for me makes more sense now.......he's not going to go to PL team so we have little to worry bout in a footballing sense, whether he goes to Barca or Madrid makes little consequence to me......except whether it means getting more money from one rather than the other, the money from his transfer should go into the rebuilding of Arsenal on the pitch
and even if he stays I am not sure that leving him as captain is the wisest move........I mean what kind of captain disapperas for the final game and moreover there was talk that he was taking a break in Spain
RvP is my first choice or Verms as my second
I felt somewhat similar after watching a programme on Bergkamp. That said, back in the day I definitely was aware I was watching a golden age which I knew would not be maintained forever. While I have little time for fans who will accept nothing less than the standard that was set by the likes of Bergkamp, Henry, Pires, Vieira and Adams, I never thought it would sink this far this fast.Quote:

The loyalty of the majority of our players has never been seriously tested.
RVP just came back from holiday with Cesc and I'd find it hard to believe that he and Cesc never spoke about Arsenal and the frustration of not winning a trophy in years. All is not well with the club and passing on the armband won't make a difference. I thought Nasri was happy to stay here some months back and now look. The disease will spread if the club fail to act this summer.
Allegedly Fabregas is now on holiday with Puyol and Pique. This is from the Daily Mail's report about Arsenal going for Juan Mata:
Reports in Spain on Sunday evening suggested that Fabregas, currently on holiday in Ibiza with Barca's Carles Pulyol and Gerard Piquet, will refuse to return to Arsenal for pre-season training on July 5.
"Reports in Spain ...". Stopped reading there.Quote:
