This has been hanging on for days, just wish it can be done either way, if we're gonna sell him then just get the deal done. Its frustrating reading about "Fabregas close to Barca deal...." crap.

according to some guy on twitter
"
There might penalty fees in the deal for breaking the NDA clause, could mean Barcelona will have to pay more.
Arsenal will now assess the situation and decide on whether or not to cancel the deal, which is unlikely. Fabregas will get his transfer.
Barca now fear that Arsenal will use the NDA clause to void the Fabregas transfer, which has already been agreed between the clubs.
Fabregas told his friends at Barcelona, who then leaked the transfer through their Twitter feeds.
After today's blunder, Barcelona are in panic mode trying to hush the leak, as there was a non-disclosure agreement between the clubs.

If it makes them panic and gives us more cash, it's all good.
Trying to hide the final fee I suppose. The Sun and the Indie (I think) were talking of figures as low as £18mill with £5mill in the future, up to £5mill more based on performance and Fabregas kicking in £4mill himself. Given that not having to pay Fabregas does not count as a fee paid by Barca, the final fee could be as low as £23mill (what Barca originally wanted to pay) if Fabregas or Barca don't hit the performance targets. That's if the Sun and Indie have it right, of course. Whatever, we got well fucked on this deal, never seen a top player go for such a minuscule fee.

It is a shit deal tbh, whatever it is.
But NQ, we've finally managed to offload the biggest burden the club has. No more will he / wont he, no more barcunt players tapping up, no more 'hamstring injury'. Plus if we ever get to face them in the CL again, they wont have an extra player on the opposing team to set them up to score.
It really is best for the club that he is going.

Soon this predictive thread title will have finally realised itself in all it's accuracy
I'd agree if the club was resolving this and moving forwards. But we aren't. Fabregas going just means the squad is even weaker than it was last year and we all saw the results of that. If I thought Wenger had that £35mill in his hand ready to land a top CB and then throw some of the millions they've banked over the last few years into landing a replacement, that would be a good deal. But he's not, he's sniffing around in the lower league trying to get mediocre cover for defenders who aren't good enough in the first place.
He's already blown the deal to land a suitable replacement for Fabregas by penny pinching again. We've still got a kid in goal, a problem that's been ongoing for years, still unresolved. We have no plan B up top if RvP gets injured, we'll need to rely on the consistently useless Vela, bringing Theo in from the wing and hoping that works out, Hoping Gervinho acclimatises instantly to PL football and don't even get me started on that freebie piece of shit Chamakh. So Fabregas is gone and Nasri is following him out the door. £50mill (maybe) but at least £40mill, plus that damn £35mill the board have claimed we've had year after year and yet we still make a profit in the transfer windows. And who are we after? Scott Dann for £6mill. Some kid for less than 1Mill, and then another kid for £15mill, what the hell is going on? Kids all over the place as experience and talent walks out the door.
Fabregas going brings one saga to and end, but don't hold your breath waiting for some stability and progress at this club. We still have the RvP saga to come, and the Wilshere circus. What we've proved is that all it takes is an agent's whisper in a player's ear and that player is as good as gone, we don't have the collective balls anywhere in the club to hang on to our players and neither do we have any sort of a plan to move forward rather sink backwards, this making it even more likely our players will abandon ship.
This isn't ending, it's only the start and things will accelerate. Wenger's crackpot policies and the board's supreme greed and deceit are finally coming home to roost as the last few of our established players leave. And we'll be asking these incoming kids to try and prop us up just a bit longer, keep qualifying for that 4th place "trophy" so the money keeps rolling in.
I'll tell you what it is - vandalism. That's what Wenger and the board have done, they've vandalised the team and this is just the latest act. More of what's gone before and more of what's to come.

God damn it NQ
