Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

[Power n Glory]

I'll just stop watching football if that happens!

We have first refusal on him.

That doesn't mean anything though if Fabregas chooses them over us.

[Marc Overmars]

I reckon United is probably the only other club he would join here, as I can't see him wanting to be part of the circus at City or Chelsea.

I suppose with having a first refusal, we would actively need to make a decision should United go after him.

Monaco are reportedly prepared to pay Falcao's 50m release clause.

Another billionaire playing Football Manager.

I think Utd with Moyes is a far less attractive proposition for Fabregas. Knowing Arsenal though we probably would turn down the chance to re-sign him anyway.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fabregas and RvP at Utd? How could any fan be expected to give a fuck about any of these players if that happened?

couldn't care less if fab ended up at united.

he left for another club already, so where he goes now means nothing to me. great player, would be fantastic if he ever came back but if not, then so what.

Well, because football was just a whole lot better when kids grew up at the club and spent their entire careers there - and also grew up within the sounds of the stadium. Yes, there were exceptions but now the exceptions are the majority rule. Football has been turned into a consumer item and it's shit. We're all here wondering who will sign in the summer (lol - we never learn) but who really cares if the club has simply become a place players come to to earn money and earn exposure for their next move? Would Henry have ever played for the spuds? You have to hope no, you just have to. Why is it important? Why do we drape silly scarves around our necks and sing silly songs that don't even rhyme? If we lose the abstract and just focus on the practical then stop football now because it's dumb, a bunch of grown men chasing a ball. Or the women's view of the sport. It's the stuff that's not tangible and not practical that makes it football.
