Indifferent at him leaving. IMO, like AW, he has tarnished the reputation he built with Gooners over his first 6 years with his agitation to leave for the past 2 years - during which 2 year period he has played nowhere near his true potential.

Being 'professional' is never enough when your head is elsewhere - and Fabregas has looked every inch the Barca player for a year now - the nadir being the Barca 2nd leg last season.

Unmerited or not, Fabregas embodies everything that's wrong about AFC these days. A player loyal to the manager not the club; a brilliant technical player but not a leader; and a player that sees our club as a stepping stone not a destination.

I don't care whether players feel that they have to go elsewhere to acheive things, and the club is certainly not exonerated in this respect, but the bottom line is that I want to see players who are proud to play for my club, not players who feel they are too good for it.
