Cesc wants to leave Arsenal soon, says his old man

I like many other gooners am getting more angry by the day with this, i have no problem with him leaving now but Barca are trying to call all the shots while acting like we are somehow in the wrong for not bending over on the price.It is far more simple than they are making it.We as the club that owns the contract or licence of the player set a value of the players ability, age, length of contract and likely future promise.They are required to meet that price or accept they either cannot afford the price or simply value the player at less.

It is not complicated, can you imagine trying to buy a car and telling the salesman the price?.

Personally i don’t advocate keeping players against their will and Fab4 has earned the right to go to his childhood club but i do advocate Arsenal playing hard ball this time round.Fortunately for us and unfortunately for Barca the board and manager are on the same page and will not budge.Barca claim they will act with respect to the selling clubs to maintain a good working relationship ( what an oxymoron ) but they have not realised that is no longer possible.I do wonder where Platini is in all of this?, Perhaps i should wait for his public condemnation of Barca tapping players up or their astronomical spiralling debts………. think i might be waiting a while because they are not English lol

Have a great day fellow gooners

I’m not sure this is completely how it works. In your car analogy the customer would have to turn up to the showroom before the salesman can tell them the price. We can’t really state a price to barca until they officially tell us they’re interested.

The reason why Barca seem in control of this situation is that they talk to the press so much in an attempt to unsettle the player and club before they make an official bid. Surely this must amount to tapping up a player under contract even if they haven’t actually had any face to face meeting with Cesc. Cesc wouldn’t have told Arsenal he wants to leave (if he did) unless he knew barca wanted him and by telling the press that they do want him Barca let the player know without having spoken to him directly. This is surely just as bad as meeting for a coffee in milan and telling the player they want him and to ask for a transfer.

if they desperately need him that urgently then they should pay any amount to get him , just like madrid did for cristano ronaldo, or should agree on any price they come up with all because we want to respect the players wish?? sorry but if its true that Cesc Dad said all this things then he is stupid for that. Cesc is really a value for money. if u need then pay and stop offering players in exchange. and i think that 50 million is a good price for his sale , sinve adebaryor was sold for 25 mil, i think my price is good.

I have some news for all Arsenal fans!

According to a well informed source, Lionel Messi has been involved with a bust-up with Pep Guardiola after Barcelona were crowned La Liga champions. It is reported that Messi got so frustrated after winning only one trophy this season, that too in the last league match, he launched a tirade at Guardiola.

Several Barca players were reportedly unhappy with Messi over his conduct and they have demanded an apology from him, which he has refused to give. Later, Messi stormed out of a scheduled meeting with the Board members and he has reportedly handed in a transfer request, with his favoured destination being Arsenal(he still remembers the ‘respect’ the Arsenal players gave him when they met in the Champions League).

It is reported that Barca are keen on a player-plus-cash deal for the second season running by offering Messi and a tiny sum of about 400 million pounds for Cesc(who can then leave Barcelona for Arsenal, for free of course, if he does not score 100 goals in his debut season).

Arsene Wenger has, as usual, been tight lipped over the affair but it has also been reported that Messi and Barca have contacted him.

F.C. BARCELONA CAN OFFICIALLY F**K OFF!!!

HAPPY DAY GUNNERS!!!

Arsenal never comment on being mugged off by Barcelona or Real Madrid you mean.

And they don’t like to disclose how much money they’ve sold a player off because they don’t want the ‘customers’ to know.

And as for Barca respecting Arsenal in transfer dealings, don’t make me f**king laugh.

Get your head out of your arse & the sand out of your eyes.

If I could be arsed,I’d go looking for the actual quotes but I won’t because you are so blinkered you can’t read them.

I’m not giving this club my season ticket money to sit in a lifeless concrete bowl, half full of pricks like you that I’ve got nothing in common with.

Just away games & occasional European trips, until the football bubble bursts & the real fans are appreciated again.

Have you guys read the comments of Hleb, he said that Cesc would be wise not to leave Arsenal. Poor guy he knows what it means to leave arsenal.

is there anyway back for cesc if he stays?

It is clear there are two types of Arsenal fans now, those who do believe and those who do not, Im currently on the cusp.I will admit my belief is wavering.I like the Wenger model but it simply is not working.This is Arsenal, mediocrity is not sufficient.I don’t know if this model can work even though i like others would love it to, sooner or later more fans will go against Wenger and his philosophy and eventually as we have seen with numerous clubs they will have their way and he will go.One way or another things will change soon, for better or worse.Is this good enough for you?, can you settle for the mediocrity?, not much longer for me

[quote name=db10]Good question. I would say probably yes (for me anyway) if he tries his hardest for us next year. Although other fans will disagree with me it could be a mixed bag of reactions to him if he stays.[/quote]Most fans don’t mind the desire to leave but more the way it is being done.. i think.If he is wearing an Arsenal shirt next season i will be behind him but i doubt he will be.

Very well said & those were my thoughts a month ago.

I’m probably slightly more towards seeing the back of Wenger because I don’t believe he can change & change he most certainly needs to do.

That said,if he wiped his mouth & signed a decent goalkeeper & at least one CB, that would go a huge way in my eyes that he has seen the weakness to his plans and addressed them.

I hope I’m proved wrong as I don’t want to see one of greatest managers leave under a cloud.

I hope this deal is done as fast as possible so that we can move on with our lives. Barca should just cough out 50million pounds and we are home and cool. I am truely tired of all this talk here and there.
It is also a shame that Arsenal board are very feble and ill. Yes i said so because Arsenal is the only club where things like this can happen and you will not get a responses or comment from those that are suppose to be our voice. Arsenal is the only where a coach will have injured players everywhere and yet fail to replace them when the opportunity comes begging. Remember we had the oportunity to buy Alonso,given etc but what did we do? Waiting for our injured prayers to recover.Arsenal is the only club where the fans give so much and get nothing in return.Arsenal is the only club that will sell their star players and replace them with unknown and absolutely young players. Arsenal is the only club that have little or no budget for new players but will continuely fight for top position in EPL and CL…………….what a footbal club!!!!!!

LOL!

Its time we also gave Barca a taste of their own medicine. If Uefa is not doing anything about this senseless tapping up of players, we should also respond in kind(tho not kindly).

Laporta, Barca and the Spanish press can GO TO HELL

Mr. Fabregas point of info to u…eventhough u are his father u are still his agent and right now u are doing wat agents normally do…talk up transfers…now would u jus shut the fcuk up and jus do the deal if its to be done. Dont come with ur craps!

I’M LOVING IT!. Fabrigas is off and van persey will be off too after da world cup HEHEHEHE. Arsenal are now a feeder club too da big boys witch incloods Barca,Chelsea, man city and spurs, end ov. and us Spurs ar gonna ovatake yoos lot next seeson HAHAHAHAHA….. cumm on u SPURS!!!!

This story has been running for about three seasons now.

Throughout that time Fabregas has repeatedly stated how much he “loves” Arsenal, how happy he is to be an Arsenal player, how happy he is to sign a new four year contract on £120,000 per week and accept a back-dated wage rise.

No amount of “badge kissing” can disguise the fact that his loyalty to Arsenal Football Club and Arsenal supporters extends no further than the bottom line of his bank balance.

It is quite clear that the player has been working towards a transfer to Barcelona throughout this season. The constant drip drip drip of comments to the media, instantly denied by him, have been designed to engineer the present situation.

If he has a shred of integrity he should publicly request a transfer, repay the obscene sum of money paid to him in his back-dated pay rise and tell Barcelona to meet the price demanded by Arsenal.

If Barca either can’t or won’t meet the asking price then offer him to Real Madrid as I, for one, will be glad to see the back of this disloyal money-grubbing individual.

Finally in answer to Remi’s question, emphatically not!

Cesc, ahora faltas tú whispers Villa into a certain player’s ear!!
Vincente del Bosque will not allow the players to twitter. Is twitter a verb? So how is Cesc going to declare his allegiance?
“Avenys” is also off twitter and cannot contact his sister Carlota. Carlota by the way is a reporter. Quite rightly “Avenys” want his sister, who could double for him as a decoy, suitably attired of course.
Some are calling the man quoted as being Cesc’s father as being “foster” rather than biological?
If FTK stopped wandering around sunny Eire and sipping mojitas, he should know who I am referring to! Lol.

Yoos lot ar a seling club i’m afrade. To be onest Wenga is a vastly overated manager who has not won anything in god nows how many years, wearras Harry Rednapp has 1 ov the best managers around by far…. we beet yoos lot so that meens we ar da best team in north london plus we ave 6 england internashonalls in da england team…Spurs coold consivably win da world cup for england… its not roket sience now is it?….. COME ON YOU SPURS!!! I’M PUTTING 50 QUID ON CROUCHY FINNISHING TOP SCORER IN DA WORLD CUP!

Sorry Dan the Hotspursman, Not only are you unable to spell, punctuate or, indeed, compose a coherent sentence but your gambling instincts are sadly awry.

If you really do have £50 to waste, on such a futile wager, I would suggest you flush it down the lavatory where it will join the millions wasted by that sad old man posing as a manager at your decrepit slum laughingly described as White Hart Lane Stadium.

In the mean-time you can console yourself with the thought that you are unlikely to lose any of your “top” players as no-one in their right mind would want to buy any of them, even on a “buy one get one for free” offer.

I am confidently looking forward to seeing your random collection of has- beens and never-will-be individuals eliminated from The Champions League at the qualifying stage.

i love cesc but why sign an extension if you think you might not stay any longer than a year. this whole thing reminds me of the nfl. we might as well not bother wit contracts at this rate im sorry boyo but you signed a legally binding contract and now its our decision. unless the right offer comes in you will be wearin red and white next year. at least that way we get to think of a new chant. maybe “we got cesc fabregas now youve got cesc fabregas we lost cesc fabregas ramsey.s the new fabregas.” now to the spurs fan you mug harry hasnt won shit compared to wenger and he.s been in the league for possibly a decade longer wake up and smell the air around your club its stale sweaty rhino shit boy and youll be lucky to finish in the top half next year while you pretend to be a champions league team

You forgot to mention conman, tax evader, Mr Potato Head,oh yeah and a man that spends money a club doesn’t have then walks leaving them in the shit.Why is it you feel the need to comment on a subject that has nothing whatsoever to do with you?, perhaps its because you and all spuds have this huge complex about us, you are the footballing equivalent of short man’s complex.Maybe you could release a DVD of a one game win when no trophy is at stake as a way of convincing yourself you are classier than you are?, oooooooooops my mistake you already did.The funny thing is even with our footballing superiority over you will don’t feel smug just a huge sense of pitty.

Too right! Totally agree with you. He should come out and request the transfer and had back money that was given to him as a sign of repect by the club. He hasn’t returned that respect so give the club and the fans their money back! He obviously has lost his faith! Winning trophies is not a good given right and our league and cups in my opinion are the most difficult in the world. La liga is about two teams! Thats it! If he goes he won’t ever be considered a legend. Just a good player who never fulfilled the promise and paid back the faith in the club and fans that tey had in him.

If Cesc loves so much Barcelona and Barcelona cant afford more than 40 millions for him, so why Cesc dont get an agreement with them to play for FREE for 2 or 3 years.

With his 8m salary per year at Barca, they could pay the 15-20m more that Arsenal is asking,

This is a Spanish variation on Chinese whispers.

I guess Guildford, DB10 and the other saps are feeling especially retarded after yesterday’s anouncement!

And well they should.

Muppets I hope you didnt renew that season ticket Guildford?

@ Guildford

Just for the record, The Arsenal statement, (as taken from the Arsenal.com webite) reads:-

“We have followed recent speculation linking Cesc with a move away from the club but as there has never been any official approach for him, only two informal exchanges, in which we made it abundantly clear that we have no interest in transferring Cesc, we have refrained from publicly passing comment.

“To be clear, we will not make any kind of counterproposal or enter into any discussion. Barcelona have publicly stated that they will respect our position and we expect that they will keep their word.”

Now, this is NOT speculation or gossip that you seem to have been taking for gospel, and is pretty much what i was expecting.

I suggest you read that again, especially the third paragraph, (you DO know what a paragraph is, right?) then go back and read each and every one of your illogical, ill founded and irrelevant comments on this “article” before you call anyone a “poor deluded,naive,blinkered boy.”

It would be better to just accept you were wrong with good grace, perhaps even apologise for your insulting attitude. Your thinly veiled threats are straight out of the playground. Premier League football is a big boys game.

Comments from “Guildford” in this thread:-

“Awful,stuck in the dark ages, weak, victimised,lame ,pathetic,amate ur. Just some of the words I could use to describe the management team at Arsenal.”

I bet the £200K Fabregas has earned off Arsenal since the whole saga kicked off is really causing him sleepless nights.Not.”

Big opinions from someone who knew absolutely nothing of the facts.

You’ve managed to insult the Club, it’s Captain, and the Management AND the fans as well, and you don’t think that in itself deserves an apology?

But to make it worse, all this vitriol was poured out because you believed the garbage spewed by people with a vested interest in controversy, and attempted to belittle myself and others who tried to point out your folly, and THAT is why you should feel “retarded” as I put it.
