Thiago is better than Fabregas anyway, and I'm a huge barça fan. I wouldn't sign him at all. We need a new defender, a new attacker and a new keeper at the bench (Pinto sucks). Even Nasri for 20mil is a better deal, but they already made their mind.

What will end Barça's golden age is gonna be Rossell and their minions, not the players...

Arsenal should go for Eriksen , or even Hazard to replace Fabregas. I can't believe with fabregas leaving Arsenal didn't bid for Ander Herrera , he cost Athetic just like 3M and he's as good as fabregas was at 19 imo.


Eriksen won't leave Ajax this season. He stated he would only think about it if Barcelona knocks on the door.

Agreed. Poor Thiago, instead of getting the Cesc Choker we should've gotten a good CB as as it seems Puyol is about to crumble and Fontas is shit.
LoL EuW: Zhiroo - By starting this squabble you've proven nothing but how vast your stupidity is.

I hoping for United to win PL. Think Liverpool might be strong this year, but they'll probably play good before new year, and shit after new year. Hope City won't reach any success

Liverpool are normally the other way round shit in the first half and play well in second half of the season, normally too late to get a champions league spot lol

8 weeks has been way to long

Thank Jebus that it all kicks off Tomorrow for the EPL ♥

Im a Chelsea fan, and have been following mr AVB through out pre season on Chelsea TV and well im impressed, his worth ethic and the way he wants us to play is very Barcelona esque in the pressing all the time and nice play style. I hope he gets the best out of our ageing squad, and the nice youngsters he has signed im looking forward to a nice season.

Chelsea Champions!!

yep, i agree with freaky. fabrecunt is being such a vagine, "whaaaaaaa whaaaaa i wanna go home". was he crying to go home in 2004 when barca were dogshit?

EDIT: And he's fucking over the entire arsenal team by leaving so late in the transfer window. the 4-3-3 arsenal system is based around him for fucks sake. That's why arsenal's 2nd string team look so shite, because they're playing a system that brings the most out of fabregas, without fabregas!


I think it's more Barca being complete douches refusing to pay Arsenal what Fabregas is worth, knowing they have the upperhand and can just keep unsettling Fabregas more and more until Arsenal gives in. Compared to C.Ronaldo's transfer to Real, both players were heavily courted over the course of multiple seasons, but Real was somewhat more respectful and came up with the money without whining about the price tag everyday. Looks like even the very best English teams can only buy from France/Holland/Portugal, or outcasts from similar stature European teams. No one leaves Barca/Real unless they're not wanted, the premiership has become a feeder league.


Ronaldo at the time was the best player in the world and by quite a bit.. everyone needs that.. Fabregas is not, again reiterating if they needed him desperately theyd have paid, but why shouldnt they haggle for someone that they could do without for another couple of years ? What does Arsenals situation have to do with them ? Is it their problem that they havent won diddly squat and disillusioned their players ?

He wants to go to a team that wants him but at a price they can pay realistically without making it a problem for themselves.. the markets are so inflated why shouldnt they be prudent or try to be ?


Ronaldo the best player that season........That was the season Messi destroyed every team Barcelona played, including Ronaldos Manchester United in the UCl Final do not call Ronaldo the best player in the world when that happened.

But it seems offical Fabregas is coming home :D Pique and Puyol having been tweeting about it, something around 31million apparently.

Thought I would be bitter but how could I ever hate you, goodbye Cesc ? Thanks for the memories, I won't forget that goal vs Juve "the young pretender", I won't forget that penalty vs Barcelona with a broken leg, I won't forget the 35 yarder vs AC Milan at the San Siro, I won't forget the half-way line run goal vs Spurs, I won't forget the the cameo vs Aston Villa and I certainly won't forget the magnificent 8 years of 100% commitment you have given to AFC! I hope Barcelona don't let him waste his career on the bench for footballs sake, best central midfielder of his generation!

Maybe not atm but many teams have had great keepers at the bench: Barça (Reina, for a long time), Madrid, Villarreal, OL, OM, Arsenal, Bayern, Inter, Atlético de Madrid... I could try and find some great bench keepers now, but meh that's not my job.

Pinto is just way too bad period. Either fire him and go with the young guys from "la cantera" or sign some young promising keeper.

Looks like Fabby will be going. I just wish he didn't love Barca so much, their practices in trying to get him over the past few years have been shocking and ugly, it amazes me FIFA didn't step in to try and tone it down. Oh, wait, it doesn't because FIFA loves Barca and hates the Premiership. Ah well.

Anyways at least we won't have the love-fest from the Barca players anymore and we can draw a line under the whole damn thing. Cesc, thank you for some amazing memories and performances, I hope you don't spend too long on the bench. Wenger, please spend the money you get from him and Nasri quickly, on some solid players who can perform now, not in a few years time.
You live the life you choose.

I feel for the Arsenal fans, but if Barca wasn't so good, few people would blame him for going back. He grew up in the Barca training program, we all know it's his true home. Just like if Torres went back to Atletico instead of Chelsea, Liverpool fans couldn't fault him for that.

I really dont see the point in him going, they have better players, hes not going to be the "big name" player like he was as arsenal, and hes going to be left on the bench a lot more. Plus barca certainly dont need him.

Sure, he'll be on the bench more, but maybe that is what Fabregas needs.Given his role as captain of Arsenal, he's constantly thrown out onto the field even when he is injured (and has been injured quite often over the past few years). Fabregas hasn't been able to play 40+ games a season anymore and getting more bench time would certainly help.
