Sarcasm. Spot it.
Fabregas to Barcelona!

Sarcasm. Spot it.
If Song sticks to his job as a pure DM, he can become one of the best in the world at it. His reincarnation as a DM-cum-AM last season didn't do him any favours.
Yup, that's the feeling I'm sitting with as well.
And it's a bit ridiculous, because Anderson has had quite a few very good matches the last year. Of course none of them have watched those or they ignore it and just go with the "Ha ha ha Anderson is crap, biggest waste of money ever"
Tbf to him, its hard to, when you have people in the TF proclaiming that Sneijder wont be signed on a free by Barca.
I love the Anderson comments, I think he's going to be a phenomenal player for us, and like the Ronaldo vs Reyes wars, it's great to see Arsenal fans end up looking stupid again, his talent is very clear.
Exactly !!
It's getting more ridiculous everyday. We also have people proclaiming Anderson is the new messiah after 1 good match, despite his inconsistencies over the last few seasons
So stick your own sarcasm up your hole Cnutofallcnuts

It wasn't my sarcasm, it was Sarni's
He had good games last season, but he also had notoriously shit ones which United fans on this forum acknowledged and used to rip the piss out of him. If he gains a modicum of consistency, I think he'll become a fairly decent player..it's up to him really.
You're chatting arse.
Arsenal could finish top 4 without Fabregas and perhaps even without Nasri, too.
Ramsey and Wilshere are quality, certainly better than what Liverpool have to offer in CM. The question is squad depth and who Wenger brings in. They surely need To bring in a good CM now. It'd be interesting to see Arshavin in the central position in a 4231 as well.

Add Spurs to the list they need to worry about.
Ramsey and JW are quality.
...but the pressure and responsibility on them to perform is immense if Nasri fecks off aswell.
Can they handle it?

Past 4 years, league only.
Xavi/Iniesta - 253 games, 35 goals, 66 assists.
Fabregas - 106 games, 28 goals, 58 assists.
Why Arsenal let Barca walk over them for the fee still outrages me, more proof to player power I guess. I'll kinda miss him, but I'll enjoy seeing the next Xavi-Iniesta coming through in our league in Ramsey-Wilshere....yes I went there -_-

How much money did you want Arsenal to receive?
FWIW Bossy Boy, Billong pisses all over Anderson as well.
I still can't see how Fabregas is going to get into Barcelona's starting XI unless they are prepared to drop Xavi (which is unlikely).
He must really value the bench at Camp Nou

Why are some Man Utd fans feeling "outraged" over this?
Barcelona has done exactly what Arsenal does to the smaller clubs. If there's a way of buying a world class player at relatively small fees, then the club will use that way.

Thanks, Boss. I'll try to, once I sign for United. Still in the middle of negotiations.
Dunno really. I'm not really that outraged either, just find it crazy cheap. He should of gone for similar to Kaka I guess, younger and offers just as much all round.
They're getting the same amount of money Newcastle got for Andy Carroll.
Fabregas still has 4 years left on his contract, which puts Arsenal in a very strong position. The fee they've got considering what the likes of Ronaldo, Kaka, Sanchez, Torres, Tevez, Robinho etc. have gone for in recent years is a joke.
It's the downside of having only one club he's prepared to go to. There could be a few other clubs who could come in and drive the price up but it would be a fruitless task since he wouldn't be willing to go there.
How did we manage to get 80million for Ronaldo?
As a club you need to put your foot down and make him stay till the club is sufficiently compensated. I reckon 40 would be your price to let him go and overall it might be around that figure. anything less than 35, its just bad business.
Arsenal going to finish 5th or 6th this season.
Let the good times roll...

anyone else think arsenal messed up slightly by selling fabregas a season too late...
cant help but feel that they could have got more money for Fabregas
arsene will need to spend well and hopefully he has done his homework - i hope he does if only to keep the scousers out of the champions league

So basically a central midfielder?
I almost feel Wenger had prepared himself for this inevitability for seven long hard years. It seems almost Dumbledore-esque that he had set out a plan ever since the moment Fabregas set foot into the club. Our play in recent seasons was built around Cesc, where inverted wingers/converted wingers helped his game flourish to an extent. Now it looks like Arsene is ready to scrap that and is prepared to go back to having real pace on the wings with the likes of Gervinho and Miyaichi.
The experiment with Fabegas may have in some ways failed, but it may also have been part of Arsene's thinking all along to maintain a consistency in our league finishes while we got over the main part of the stadium transition process.

Should have just said AM. He was playing much higher than Wilshere for most of last season.
They were never going to get a sizable fee when there was only on club who would buy him. The power was gone the moment Fabregas decided to go back to Barcelona and Barcelona only.
Lovely video of Fabregas' mesmeric passing in 2011.
You can't honestly think this?
He simply isn't intelligent enough in his positioning.
Looks certain - Barca have called a press conference for tomorrow morning 9 AM (Spanish time) according to Spanish media.
EDIT: My bad. Looks like Wenger has called for a presser. Sorry!

Looks like Cesc has finally signed for Barca. 5-year deal rumoured from several places.
I'd rather him sit on Barca's bench than play regularly for Arsenal.
And so it finally ends. Thank you and goodbye Cesc.
I don't think Rosell got the message
Or they'll just pay £4million less and you'll accept
Oh does he eh?
How about £35million?
You're board don't seem to think so.
No, They're gonna pay 35.
Or £5million to much if you ask your board.
Pete mate, you've had a mare.
