we keep comforting ourselves saying he'll be on the bench but he'll be in the starting eleven, without a shadow of doubt
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.
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.
