Maybe. People need to remember he left his club at 16 so if he wasn't loyal to them he was never going to be loyal to us.Quote:

We will never sign a midfielder as good as him ever again.
I know one thing, I'd rather have Fabregas GHEL'ing for us. It'll be horrible watching him do a job on us if Barca come calling again this season. I doubt we'll boo him though, far too many other targets in that cuntish team.Quote:

No one knows if Cesc told his pals to spout off the in the media. Jeez.
I agree he should have spoken himself about his desire to leave but I guess he felt he didn't want to upset anyone or say anything bad about the club, so kept a dignified silence out of respect. He made several statements on Arsenal.com throughout the saga to correct any media shit that emerged that made it look like he was disrespecting the club. It was quite cute in a way, he obviously didn't want to lose the rapport with the fans.
Booing him on a future return? Get the fuck out of here. Whilst it's not exactly the return of Henry or Bergkamp, he'd still get a polite applause from me.
What we have lost is a magnificent player. Honestly there's no one in the world in that position I'd have swapped him for. He clearly loved the club and gave everything he had.
He's a Barca scumbag now though, hope he breaks his legs.
Ain't gonna boo him, ain't gonna cheer him. I just hope never to see the likes of him in our shirt again, but that is too much of an ask.
None of the above.
My main concern now is how we go about adapting to the loss of our creative fulcrum. But I don't want to go into that right now.
As far as Fabregas is concerned, I'll thank him for his service and wish him all the best.
It's onwards and upwards (or downwards) for Arsenal FC.
I liked this snippet from Le Grove

I do sympathise with Wenger in a way. Only in the sense that he’s the rich geeky kid at school who announces a party on Facebook at his Dads mansion, that is well attended but as soon as the attendees have had drunk all the booze and eaten all the food they wreck the place and leave for the next bigger and better party.
When Wenger set up his master vision for project youth, he forgot a few things… Trophies and money. If you lure kids in on the promise of riches, don’t be surprised when they leave you for the same things. Don’t expect to command loyalty when disloyalty is the very first thing you encourage them to do.
is this the same first contract where he was on about £5.99 a week?Quote:
