The "Where is the Fabregas thread" thread

Reus got crocked last night. Ligament damage and out of WC. *edit - note to self, must keep up*

This Fabregas situation depresses me. I'm still not convinced Ozil won't turn into another Arshavin and we're letting a World Class player go to the chavs while waiting for the end of the transfer window. In the meantime, Liverpool have been quietly going about their business, getting the new guys in before the WC, Chelsea are getting their business done as well. Both finished a few points ahead of us but right now with who they're getting in, we're a lot further behind them now.

Problem is Barca don't want him and neither do we, so what else can he say or do?

This is it. We can hardly tell him we don't want him and then get upset over who he subsequently chooses.

Who is the 'we' in this scenario?

The club say they don't want him so I can't be upset?

Doesn't follow.

Being upset at the Club's decision not to sign him makes sense. But once that decision has been made, it is unreasonable to get upset at the player for taking up whatever option is available to him.

I wasn't happy with the way Fabregas engineered his move to Barcelona. I highly doubt though that if at the time he thought for a minute, he'd end up with those scroates at the Bridge, he'd have made that move.

He's in a shit position - apparently being forced out by his boyhood Club and not wanted by the Club that made him. Yep, its his fault he is in that situation, but he has to play for someone.

If he goes to Chelsea, it's because he's choosing to go there.

No one's forcing him.

I'll find it difficult not to puke at the sight of him in a Chelsea shirt.

But if we have the gist of the story, it goes something like this:

Barca have him as surplus to requirements.

He wanted to come back to Arsenal.

We don't want him and have declined our option which we insisted as being a part of the transfer agreement.

If we don't want him - it would then be a bit rich for him to be restricted to a list of teams he can choose from so our feelings aren't hurt.
