Fabregas goes to Barca for £35million

[Flavs]

Overmars, Petit, Henry.

£16m for Henry? Wtf? Wenger should have been sacked for that alone

Yeah cos he has ripped shit up for them and NYC hasnt he, he was wank the last season and a half he was here and had sciatica which took his pace, perfect time to sell and a good price. Also We got £30mil+ for Overmars (knee) and Petit (back) AND i also notice you miss out the £13mil they had to pay us for Hleb, who couldnt get a game at Birmingham last season. In fact if anything we have given them the full meat.

If you are going to make such ridiculous declarations as least try and qualify them in an informed manner.

it realy is the laziest article ever to be honest, an invented source saying exactl what every body else has been saying for nearly 2 years

Not exactly. PHW has confirmed that there has been contact and there is no firm message of intent from the board. Last year we made it clear that he is not for sale. It's not the same this year and we're waiting for an improved bid. We may do something stupid like sell on the last day of the window and have no one lined up for a replacement.

Who cares what Henry done for them? That was after they bought him. Got f all to do with it. Fact is, he was one of the worlds best players when he was with us and we sold him for a pitiful £16m.

We dont live in the world of hindsight as you seem to do but if you want to play that game then so shall i. Henry was Barcas top scorer in his first season there and scored 30+ in his 2nd season when they won the treble

I think he'll go this summer for something between 35-40 million which is a pretty low fee given the absurd amounts the likes of Henderson & Carroll have been trading for.

This story has no legs left...he wants out, we know it, he knows it, Barca knows it.

[Fats]

has to be at least 40 million or Wenger can fuck right off

Anything over £30m for Fabregas wouldn't be horrendous, really. You will always have a few transfers in which the buying team pay over the odds but that doesn't set a precedent. We have never been in a strong position in negotiations because Cesc wants to go to Barca and Barca only. If it was a similar situation to Torres where he might be willing to go to any good team, then we could've got about £348579457m from Man City. Things change very quickly in football and his performances last season hardly qualifies him as a £15m player. Another year bad habits certainly brings down his price a fair bit. He is still an excellent player but I think it's necessary to change things dramatically now and replacing the captain and a key figure of a relatively unsuccessful spell for the club is at least an effort to make that change (even if it is a forced one).

its an article of "mights" and "mays" mate like all the shit this summer. of course we are preparing for an improved offer, they started obscenely low. And yes we "may" sell him and we "might" let him go for £35mil we also "may" sign Lionel Messi and "might" play the ladies team in the carling cup.

Shit journalism, shit broadcasting company

Might not be his call of course, Stan and Ivan might over rule him

Torres was terrible for Liverpool but still went to Chelsea for £50m. Kaka went to Real Madrid for £50m half injured. Ronaldo wanted to go to Real Madrid the season before he had that record breaking season, had a bit of an off season for his standards but still went for £70m. We're being soft and we still hold the cards but some how Barca have pulled a Jedi mind trick.

I am surprised they havent offered Keita in the deal, he seems redundant there with Busquets and Mash in front of him and that Thigo kid coming through as well. Maybe we are after Maxwell to replace Clichy as well?
