1355: FOOTBALL - Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny on Twitter: "Good luck to our friend and captain @cesc4official. He's been fantastic for Arsenal and will be missed at the club!"
1350: FOOTBALL - Cesc Fabregas on his move to Barcelona: "I come here with great humility because I know I have a lot to learn and I can learn a lot from this coach and this great team. I've played with two of them [Lionel Messi and Gerard Pique] since I was 13 and many of the others since I was 18 [with Spain] so I know them very well. I know I can enjoy it and make a contribution. I'm going to try very hard to make this team even more competitive and strong

It's not at all irrelevant. It means they are determined to hand on to him for the duration of his contract unless they get a crazy offer.

Which they won't. And he doesn't want to play anywhere else for the forseeable future.
It's a completely irrelevant figure done to sound good. Fabregas would NEVER have signed a contract with that sort of clause with us because he always wanted to go to Barca at some point.

This was a player they were absolutely desperate to land

No it isn't. They wanted him but he won't improve them and they could have waited another summer if they'd had to.
You can keep saying we got screwed on the fee if you like. We had a player who didn't want to play for us and who we knew would only sign for one club.
If we'd been able to get a bidding war going we'd have got more but it's still one of the biggest transfer fees from a British club.

What we have to do, HAVE to do now is buy to replace.

That's not going to happen either, amigo. How you going to spin that?

I won't.
That would be a sodding disaster.
I've said so in another thread

Well okay then, fair enough. But Rick Astley is your favourite pop star and you can't wriggle out of that.

I told you that in confidence

You miss my point. How many of our players owe their moves to their dream clubs to Wenger - these dream clubs not being AFC? Sad, really.

Not sure he meant it like that i think he meant that he owes Aw to getting him to where is is as a player.
