Of the sale of Fabregas, Kroenke says: “That was between Arsène and him. I like the kid but I’m not going to change his mind. Arsène made the decision. If we wanted to be really hard about it, we could have done but Arsène believed that it was the right way to do it. We talked about it when we were in London.
“I also get it on Nasri. If we didn’t do something on Nasri people would be looking at us next summer and saying, ‘Why didn’t you do this?’ We bought in a lot of resources that we can use on other players.
“I honestly didn’t make the decision on Nasri. Of course the board talks about these things but, at the end of the day, that’s for Arsène.”
Selling Nasri was a no-brainer. He wasn't going to extend his contract and missing out on £25m for someone who doesn't want to be at Arsenal would've been silly.
If we really wanted to, I think we could've kept Fabregas. He signed a long term contract and he has to be an Arsenal player for that time. We would've had a disinterested backheeling-to-Iniesta dick but he couldn't turn totally shit or else he'd never get his big move. We could've kept him until he had a year left and then let him Nasri off.
Either way, in the last 8 or so games, we've played better football than we've seen at any point last season when Nasri and Fabregas were here. We look a much more balanced team and so right now I don't think anyone misses either of them the same way a big gap was left when Vieira went.
I'm fucking glad they're gone. Especially Fabregas because I was sick and fucking tired of the whole gay circus surrounding him and his penis pals at Barca.
If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
I went on a tour around Arsenal and was told that Arsenal had agreed to sell Nasri to Utd and he was all set to go, then City came in with a bigger wage and he went there instead. Many grabbing c**t
