Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

Re the 50% fee, I read its from any sale and is in the contract

1. How can Wenger stop Cesc from joining Man Utd?
2. I cannot believe we'll get 50% of the fee. 50% of the profit is far more likely. So about £2.5m. Yay!

1 - he can't. Don't understand why people keep saying that. Cesc is a Barcelona player. Man Utd want him. Fuck all to do with Wenger.

2 - we'll get some money for sure but it'll go in wengers pockets

Looks like we'll be needing that thread after all Maccy.

So Barca will have to sell Cesc for £60m just to break even?

Nah

Essentially

If Arsenal were to refuse that option, they would still be entitled to half of Fabregas’s next transfer fee.

Didn't Barca boast about Cesc's buyout clause being some ludicrously high figure? Was that just BS then? Also, if they sell for £26 they don't make any profit - they make a loss. So we get nothing. It will be infuriating watching the board and the manager sitting on their hands as another one of the captains we developed heads to a rival to open up the gap in quality even wider.

Only consolation is we have Sanogo.

Essentially

I can't see any club agreeing to those terms. As incredible as it may seem, the media may have got it wrong. And there's that Euro200mill buyout, if true then Utd can't force the transfer by unsettling the player (Barca's favourite tactic). Cesc will have to want to go. To Utd! There's a possibility Arsenal fans would view that in a dim light.

Cesc is going to Man Utd, no doubt about it. They'll have spoken to his agent and if Cesc had told them he'd only join Arsenal if he must leave Barca then they wouldn't be bidding for him. Certainly not two bids.

I really don't know how I'm going to watch football next season. Two former Arsenal captains playing for Man Utd!! A disgrace.

Yep, unfortunately I agree with this.

It would be a really bad move to let cesc go to united (thats if we have any say in the matter). He is world class and is the sort of player united really need.

Yep. They needed a remedy to Berbatov, we stepped up. Now they need a replacement for Scholes. We can help again. If he's moving and we don't step in it places all that "want him to stay" chatter in context.
