Farewell, Sol…who’s next though the Emirates doors?

With Arsenal returning from their Austrian pre-season warm-up, now is the time for Wenger and Gazidis to sort out the Fabregas issue once and for all, well untill next summer at least.

Is he going? is he staying? are the Gunners going to hold him to his, very lucrative, five year contract?

Please please JUST DO IT!!!

£35,000 a year….that would be good as they would then have to work like the rest of us!

Seriously though, we need a good centre back now desperately, hopefully two…?

Dear Lord….we need a goalkeeper – I just cannot believe we would start the season with Almunia or Fabianski…it would all be over for us before we started!

I am trying to be upbeat and not negative….

But with a good goalkeeper, two good defenders we can really challenge this year!
Last year the injuries finished us off, only Song and Fabregas played well. With everyone fit and playing to their ability we will be fine!

If we do not buy then I fear for us – maybe financially we really are in trouble as there can be no other explanation?

Next out through the Emriates doors should be Wenger. How we can be so short of central defenders, at least one decent goalkeeper, and replacements for the Denaby duo with just over 2 weeks to go to the start of the eason is scandalous. We won’t see any new signings until January. Even though of course we can still compete with CFC in the transfer market.

Fabregas is not helping quelling the rumors…not until he sees Wenger show some ambition of going for higher than 4th placing in the League.

The Sun? I have never read the rag!

I must have dreamt that Barcelona made a £30 million offer, that their president publicly stated their desire to sign him, that their coach publicly stated his wish to have him in his squad and that multiple members of the Barcelona playing staff have repeatedly publicly stated their wish for him to join them. It is all make believe conjured up by The Sun.

Quote ” there is no Fabregas issue” What planet are you living on Jonny Martian?

As far as they see it there is nothing to sort out. Wenger alluded to the “noise” from barcelona and he’s right. There really is nothing to comment on. Barca made one bid, Arsenal rejected it. That really is the end of the story because Barca players talking to the media has no effect on arsenal’s position and nor does any random and made up reports.

I think Arsene has made it clear on several occassions that he isn’t for sale and just because he doesn’t keep reminding us every day of the week it doesn’t mean that anything has changed.

1. Fabregas is happy to stay for another year [/quote]
Big deal. What’s the point in keeping him for a year? we’ll get less money so sell him now. It’s not like we’ve gone out and bought world class players to play alongside him is it. So yet again he’s got to play with rubbish and carry them through.

You said ‘we’. You cant seriously consider yourself an Arsenal fan ?!?!?
Do your self a favour John. Start supporting Man City. Because Arsenal arent going to go out and spend hundreds of millions on world class players because we HAVENT GOT THAT SORT OF MONEY. Our aspirations remain at a top four finish but no more, due to the debts from the stadium. You’ll just make yourself unhappy supporting Arsenal as you are not a true fan. Go and get yourself a Man City top and for gods sake f@&k off.[/quote]
Firstly, I assume you’re replying to me.

Secondly we’ve got plenty of money, we just use it to repay he loan as quickly as possible. Some think that’s good. I think we should invest some of it in the team. And I’m not the only one by a long way.

Thirdly, don’t assume that you’re a fan and I’m not just because we different opinions. Chances are, that based on your childish comments, I’ve been going to watch us play long before you were born.
