Fabregas wants to go to Barcelona

Indeed, I don't have an issue with Cesc really, he's mostly mantained dignity through all of this, unlike the disrespectful cnuts at Barca

It would be hilarious is he went to Real next year ahead of Barcelona

Here's an exclusive for you, Cesc Fabregas is not moving to Barcelona, in fact he's my new neighbour. Rumours were he had bought the house a few doors down about a month ago and I had it confirmed to me yesterday. (Don't worry his house is considerably bigger and more expensive than the one i live in, I'm still keeping it real.)

Gooners let me know when he's due back and I'll take a jelly round.

Leafy Hertfordshire eh? He's back today or tomorrow since he's in training on Thursday.

Do a dump on his doorstep with a note saying "Best Regards, PeterStorey"

To be honest if I had his money and level of fame I wouldn't buy in the area, it's far too densely populated. It's convenient but there are many, more desirable private properties between here and London Colney.

It's probably buy to let - you'll get some Noggie twat in there - go crap on his doorstep.
 
BARCELONA star Andres Iniesta has repeated claims that everyone at the club wants Cesc Fabregas to move to the Nou Camp.

The Spanish champions have been courting Arsenal captain Fabregas all summer and had a £29million bid turned down in June.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is refusing to enter into any negotiations over the sale of the midfielder and has urged him to publicly pledge his future to the Londoners.

But Fabregas, 23, has yet to confirm where his future lies and Iniesta remains hopeful a deal can be struck before the transfer window closes at the end of the month.

The Barca midfielder said: "We all want him to come because he will help us to go up a level — he's very complete.

"However, he belongs to Arsenal and the two clubs must understand each other in order for a deal to be done."

They are worse than Real. Madrid have at least the decency to put in huge bids so that a player's loss is somehow made up whilst Barcelona offered embarassing and ridiculous 29 millions for one of the best midfielders in the world who has a long contract. Quite frankly, we aren't angels, Real Madrid even less so but the Fabregas saga is on a completely different level and it backs up the disgusting impression Barcelona made in the Champions League.

I'm glad that people are finally seeing that Barca are the despicable club they are. They somehow think they're god's gift to football when they're just a small time club compared to Real Madrid.

C'mon, Cal. You are a well-known extremist when it comes to all things anti-Barca, though. The likes of Lailani and the Chief got nothing on you.

Not at all. I'm just glad that some people are finally seeing Barca for what they are.

:lol: this is such a bullshit excuse to slag off Barca, whilst exonerating Madrid.

Let's wait until AFTER Barca sign Fabregas before comparing the respective transfer fees, shall we? Surely nobody is stupid enough to think that Real didn't at least try to sign Ronaldo for less than the final offer? The saga dragged on for two frigging seasons. Would that really have happened if the 80m was on the table from the out-set? Pur-lease...

As for Barca's alleged offer. None of us have any clue how much they've offered so far but you can't blame them for starting low. That's the way transfer negotiations work. It's the fee Arsenal accept that dictates how much Barca pay, not a load of made-up guesstimates from weirdos who are bizarrely intent on crucifying Barca for doing the exact same thing their beloved lily-whites did when they signed their most favouritest player ever ever.

Amolbhatia typically failing to grasp the point.

Where, exactly, am I defending Barca?

Barca have behaved incredibly disrespectfully throughout this saga. I would never claim any different. If I was a gooner I'd be livid.

The point I'm making is that it's retarded to try and differentiate between what's going on here and the whole Ronaldo to Madrid saga. That is, unless you're willing to bend logic all out of shape to defend Madrid after deciding that they should be your new second team (a bit of a theme on here, since Ronaldo signed for them)
 
i don't know why people are slagging off barca. surely they'd never engage in these tactics if fabregas was NOT interested in ever going.

people forget, you can only tap up a player who is interested in a move. otherwise the 'tapping up' ends very quickly.

See that's what I'm talking about. Why do you get into such terribly stale cliche's? When I was young I had idols. It's possible that some people had Ronaldo as theirs when he was with us. And I have no problem with them wanting him to do well at Real, whilst also managing to support United through and through.

Yes there are some exceptions who go overboard but you'll find that it's the case for every topic. Some rate Rooney too highly, some love Barca too much, some hate Berbatov too much etc. It's just how it is.

I've just seen you constantly jump into these topics basically saying the same thing. It's no different from Vuc jumping into every thread praising a Serbian player or Fredthered criticizing the Glazers at every opportunity, or in fact Cal doing his whole hate Barca/Messi love Ronaldo bit.

There's no doubt Fabregas wants a move but it's very disrespectful to Arsenal to hear Barca employees constantly talking up the move in the press.

I actually think it makes feck all real difference as the tapping up in the press will be nothing to what's already gone on behind the scenes (as happens with every big transfer) but I can see why Arsenal fans would be pissed off.

I'm less sure why United fans would get so irate but any thread about Barca seem to attract the caf loons, like moths to a flame.

Apologies!

I've completely misread your post.

Do you think that Barca have behaved substantively differently to Madrid, when they courted Ronaldo?

Nah I just messed up a bit in my response to your post.

Was eating my lunch and posting so I guess I didn't read it properly.

Sorry about that.

As for the Real and Barca debate, I think it's very similar. Both behaved disgracefully IMO and in a way that I hope we never do. But Barca I feel have crossed the line much more. Maybe my memory serves me poorly but it felt like there were little comments there and there. With Barca it seems like a full blown out 'Bring Cesc home' campaign which has been embarrassing to watch. But all in all similar acts.

As for the fee, I don't think it matters. Barca are allowed to offer whatever they feel like. It's up to Arsenal to accept or reject it. I'm not concerned with that part of it. I just think everything that's happened outside the negotiation table has been unfortunate. Real's actions were pathetic as well.

No worries. I deleted my curt response ;)

I think both Spanish clubs have behaved poorly but was much more angry about Madrid (for obvious reasons!) although, looking back, I can appreciate that their newspaper campaign made very little real difference. Just like I doubt it's the articles in the press that have convinced Fabregas to join Barca.

If I was going to be picky, I say Madrid's pet newspaper's decision to target Ronaldo's mum, photographing her holding a picture of him in a Madrid shirt and publishing quotes saying she wanted him to play for Los Merengues before she died (in the knowledge that she had previously been treated for cancer) was the most classless tactic in either of these sagas but hey ho, I'll settle for calling them all cnuts.
 
There is news that Fabregas' own family are now at it.

I guess that makes his entire family a bunch of dispicable **** too.

What Iniesta said was actually very reasonable, yet another excuse for people to have a dig at Barcelona. I'm almost as bored of the anti Barcelona vibe as i am the Cesc Fabregas transfer saga...
 
Not as tired as people are of you and all your sodding posts about Barcelona and Barcelona players, I suspect.

If this was true, the fact that his family are not employed by Barca might be lost on you.

His family (assuming they aren't Barca employees) are allowed to say what they want.

I don't think i've ever started a thread about a barcelona player or barcelona in the entire time i've been a member.

As tired as you and others may be i'm also pretty tired of it.

So only the very people in discussion and who it effects are not allowed to comment on it? No manager, player, board member, chairman, president etc etc is allowed to comment on the going ons of their club?

Are they actually commenting on the going ons of their club or another club? :confused:
 
Not sure why there's moral outrage about Barcelona's reprehensible behaviour in this saga. Arsenal poached him in the first place - they've no moral high ground to take, and I'd suspect there's an undertone of ire about that from Barca's side now. They're probably quite enjoying this whole drawn out process.
 
Apparently Fabregas is now pissed off that they haven't put in a proper bid.

Because many misguided people love to claim they are a model club with better morals than the ever hated Real Madrid.

It's about revenge for them. Still makes them despicable though. As despicable as Real were when they ''stole'' Figo from Barca in revenge to losing the likes of Enrique a few years earlier.
