He's not really getting away with it at Barcelona; it's not exactly what Guardiola wants. I wouldn't say he is playing as a centre-forward but he is popping up everywhere hence why he has been called 'anarchic'.

your right we shouldnt have given a toss where he wanted to go but that would never have worked. he even said he spoke to madrid but never wanted to go. yes someone like juvenetus could have come in and offered him millions and paid us 100m but he wouldnt accept it. he only wanted to go to barca so we had no one to bid against cos the whole fucking world knew he would only play for us and barca

He would have still gone to Barca because like i said, once we put him on the market and other clubs made £40m+ bids then Barca would have done the same.

If it's a matter of not spending £35m vs not spending £50m I'm not sure the difference isn't academic.

Even if they had been willing to go that high, would the extra millions have made been spent or pocketed?

And if the latter, how does that help us?

no they wouldnt, other clubs could bid what they like and we could accept but cesc wouldnt agree terms making it void, barca knew this hence why they wouldnt bid upwards

Watched some of the first half and for the first time in a while I saw Barcelona not really functioning. Maybe Cesc slows their play down too much. :lol:

He was absolutely busting a gut though.

I dunno, I thought they played ok. Defensively they were as bad I have seen them though (in the first half). I guess it helps that is Messi going apeshit on providing assists.

I hear they improved in the second half though I couldn't really comment on that. From what I could see, by their own high standards I think they struggled to get their triangles going.

Valencia closed down really well though, and they have some very good players, ripped Barcelona open down the left, and I think we've been linked with that Benega fella before. Albelda was a rock, I think we 'almost' signed him as well, back in the day.

Maybe we can put an offer in next summer for him back?

Why is this shite ass saga still being discussed? Is it going to be bumped everytime he scores?

He's gone, the money hasn't been spent anyway so I can't see what another 10m would have done.

On we go.

Absolutely correct, though the fee should have been £55-60mill. £40mill was an insane bargain, and we couldn't even get that. All this crap about Fabregas not "being mentally here", so what? Do people think he was really going to fuck his career because he didn't fancy it come match day?

Unrelated to your post but to the thread in general:

This isn't about Fabregas, it's about a board and a manager that are fucking our club over. Both the board and the manager are still here, still fucking our club over. For those who don't like "*******s" on the Internet - turn your fucking computer off, you're the one with the problem not the people coming here to discuss issues connected to our club.

Pocketed, and that's why they can take a price cut because there's no intention of reinvesting and it's all profit. That's the point, everything this board does works in their favour. Coincidence?

i agree he is worth much more, but every time arsenal said no or we want forty etc barca just then spent every moment of the next week making sure everyone connected with barca said how unfair it was and all that bullshit and just unsettled him even further. and a major fan complaint last year was cesc wasnt interested and we wanted rid. yes we didnt get his true value but we never were going to

We're worried Cesc won't be "mentally here" and yet when the club is required to be mentally on the ball in the transfer market the response is, "We'll never get that, we must sell him, he wants to leave, we have no choice...", and every other excuse under the sun. Losing is so deeply ingrained at this club now, in everything it does.

Also the reason why we're still talking about this is the RvP and Wilshere transfers are just around the corner, probably Walcott and Vermaelen too and maybe even Chesney. Within 2 years any half decent player will want to be out of here. If they are on contracts and we don't wish to completely implode, what do we do? Admit it is inevitable they will leave and implode anyway?

Arseblog News flagellates itself after Cesc wins damages

Cesc Fabregas has revealed that he will receive damages from Sport Magazine after the London-based publication printed an interview last week which has since been deemed a fabrication.

The Spanish international had been quoted as saying he left Arsenal because he felt the club could no longer challenge for honours, while admitting that there was in existence a contract clause which would see the Gunners afforded first refusal on re-signing him.

While little of what the midfielder purportedly said was particularly out of the ordinary, or different to what many supporters had indeed aired themselves, that the quotes are not directly attributable to him is very important to make clear.

Writing on Twitter this morning, the former Arsenal captain confirmed:

“Got the apology and retraction from that magazine that made up an interview about me. Can’t believe some journalists.

“I will also get damages that I will give to charity. Hope it teaches them a lesson. I would NEVER say a bad word about Arsenal Football Club.”

Still banging on about fucking Cesc :rolleyes:

He's gone, time to get over it.

Once again, the people who let him go on the cheap are still here, doing things on the cheap. How do you suggest we move on from them, they don't seem keen to go.
