Yeah me too, if other clubs were interested it might be different but since they're not we'll sell at a slightly lower fee IMO.Originally Posted by selassie
Edit: Seems Real have supposedly entered the bidding...maybe there's hope of a bigger fee.

I think the amount must make up 40-45 and we'll accept. Whether that's 35 + add ons / players etc I don't know.
If we take 35 and that's all, there'll be uproar.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
Next summer at a guess.
Balance the price scales? They are the only club wants him, they are the only club he will go to, they claim to not have any money, his family lives there and his boyfriend plays there, also he isnt English.
On the other side
Master economist Arsene Wenger, he has a four year contract, we are more financially stable than Barca and have no need for their money, he is happy to play here, he is our captain and by far our best player
Also...
He is a 24 year old world class midfielder who has already won a world cup and euopean championship, has a world class reputation and can play any of the midfield styles. Add into this the market is skewed due to the Madrids, Chavs, Citeh's, scousers and random russian teams thoring around silly money. Oh and the marketing from him would bring in millions as well.
Taking all this into account i think about £47mil would be about right, cough up or cock off.
We should definely hold out for at least £10M more than what Barca are offering, but the problem is, if a deal doesn't go through, we may end up having an unhappy player remain at the club. What happens if Cesc becomes moody, uninterested and plays badly? What if he simply goes through the motions in every match? He's no use to us like that, and it'd be better to let him rot in the reserves. However, if that happens, we are one midfielder down, and unless we sign a "replacement" to Cesc we're in trouble. However, would our board want to spend money on a midfielder, without having the funds from Cesc's sale? Because of this, I think we'll eventually lose our nerve and accept less than his true value.
Comments here in Spain say Barca offer now 34 million + 4 million add ons ( Cesc winning laliga or CL )
Dont know is this has been posted yet:
Un-fucking-believable.BBC: Barcelona have made an improved £34m offer for Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas and are also hoping to recruit Samir Nasri for £20m.

BBC error, United are after Nasri for 20million according to the RAGS.
Ah, right I see
Un-fucking-believable.
I dont think anyone but maybe PSG are after Nasri tbh, he just has a very creative agent
I'm pretty sure Cesc will give us 100%, he wasn't fully there last season as the accumulated fatigue got to him imo but if he stays he'd give us as much as he always has. Worth remembering that Cesc ain't dumb as well, he knows how much he's worth and will understand if Barca aren't willing to pay enough that any move would be failing down their end, not ours, he likes it here too so he won't be bitter and twisted over everything Arsenal.
