Arsenal Skipper Cesc Fabregas Hints at £60m Barcelona Move

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 11:46 am

Why doesn’t Cesc just make his mind up

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 11:47 am

He doesn’t have the guts to put in a transfer request, well played Arsenal for standing firm.

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 11:50 am

Why not just sell him to Barcelona this season with a prerequiste of him to stay on loan with Arsenal for a year whilst they “try” and fill the void

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 11:51 am

Cant sell him now……..season starts in 2 weeks!!sell him nxt year if he really doesnt want to play 4 us!!!if he changes his mind then great!!!!wenger cud give in and actually feel sorry 4 cesc n grant em hus move,so im jus praying he lines up v liverpool in august!!paul ireland GOONERS 4 LIFE

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 11:58 am

If he is such a fan of barca why did he leave in the first place???

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 12:04 pm

Another meaningless article from this useless site. I guess you guys just write with catchy headline to get traffic so as to make money from all the silly adverts here.

Fabregas hints but where is the f*cking hint here now? Show me.

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 12:18 pm

It would be nice to support a team knowing that all its players actually want to play for our club. I appreciate, just as his mates at Barca FC do, that Cesc is having a hard time playing for us. It must be tough, at 23,getting by on £5m+ p.a., playing for the team and manager that made you ["he is like a father to me"] and having to put up with life in London. If he is torn between the clubs -he is no good to us. He should be sold to the highest bidder at market value -not an artificially low value because he won’t go anywhere else.Do we want to put up with this crap for another year? The irony is of course is that by the end of next season Barca will be bust and unable to afford him.

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 12:20 pm

ive just read that on the skysports website and no where does it speculate a £60m move!

and “To say you are the captain of Arsenal but then openly state your affiliation and undying love for another club just confuses the heck out of people…”

whats not to understand? HES FROM BARCELONA! its like thierry saying at one point he’d love to come back to the arsenal!

we all know he’ll go back at one point it his career but arsene and the board know it’ll be at the right price!

Fabregas is just still a young boy that can’t make up his mind whether he’s arsenal or barcelona he need the likes of puyol and pique to always come up and speak for him

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 12:29 pm

Barca don’t need Fabregas, so why pay £40mil min for him when they’re taking loans to pay their players. I think they’re just trying to take the price tag to outragous figure like 60mil (which is written nowhere in the article, yet it’s the title?) so Real Madrid won’t go for him, also they’ve unsettled Arsenal who are 2/3 players short of title/champions league winners. C’mon Wenger buy Mertzaker and Stelkenberg

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 12:31 pm

i dont think its a case of him needing others to speak for him,

i think its more of a case that at 23, he’s matured very quickly for such a young player! he doesnt realise yet that he still has 7 – 9 years on his career!

he could still see out his contract and more when he’s 27 / 28 and still be in his prime! at 23 he wants to do it all!

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 12:35 pm

Sounds to me like he wants to play for Arselona……..
Watch what happens next Barcelona start tapping up Wenger to be their manager…….. I wouldn’t put it past them.

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 12:35 pm

Did anybody seen the 60 mil in this whole article

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 12:39 pm

“C’mon Wenger buy Mertzaker and Stelkenberg.” Title winning acquisitions, those.

Sell Fabregas. Buy the much needed defensive wall. Then let Nasri grow into the position. Never know if it will work unless you loosen the reigns.

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 12:45 pm

Simple guys barca want a product worth 80 million or more in 30 million, they probably dont need him right now. after 2 to 3 years they need him. After 2 to 3 years barca will neither have that amount of money nor they will be glorious enough to compete with real for crowns courtesy of mourinho. Arsenal should hold on to fabregas for year or two, he himself would not want to go to barca…….Guys who would wanna join a club who pays players salaries by taking loans……Arsenal for EPL & Real for La Liga

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 12:45 pm

Hey why are you guys reacting to an interview that was made before the World Cup with a Spanish gymanasium members magazine .This was put on the AS website as a new interview.Makes a chnage to see the Spanish lying or does it ???

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 12:48 pm

Its time FIFA do sth abt Barcelona… Its not just the club affecting the player but also the Barca players… All of them play a part in swaying Fab to go over to Barcelona…

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 12:49 pm

Too late to sell him Barca must wait another year. If Cesc was so unhappy he would put in official request.

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 12:50 pm

all you fickle arsenal fans back off. its not a case of him being ‘unhappy’ at the emirates. its more that he came to england at a very young age, leaving behind the club and country he loved and now hes achieved everything possible with arsenal. he wants new challenges but is afraid to leave because the fans and staff at arsenal have done so much for him. just let him make up him own mind, it might well be that he’ll stay.

to all those people that say sell and bring in mertesacker or ozil or whoever the hell else, really think about it. will these players want to come to a club that would keep a player even when he really wanted to leave and go home to the club that he grew up with as a child?

no – so treat the lad right and if he wants to go let him go.

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 12:54 pm

Well, this just a simple case I thought… Barca should pay the price to Arsenal. How much the Arsenal want, just pay it.

Not just always talk to the media like an idiot…. blah.. blah… blah…blah………

Its up to Fab if he want to stay or not….

The important think is… if Barca want to buy him, pay the transfer fee that Arsenal want.

Thank You !

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 1:08 pm

Am realy sure that cesc can’t play well 4 arsenal&every knows dat so it’s gud 2 offload him now and search a replacement

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 1:26 pm

if fran cesc wants to go then let him go and search for a replacement for him but if he goes to barcelona it would be his worst decision since he started playing he really should not go to barcelona they are building a galaxy of stars now just as Real madrid so they will be like them as well

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 1:46 pm

Cesc is not the first player to leave Arsenal, in all cases we have been forging ahead as a team and doing even better. So let Cesc go Arsene and get better players out of the money spunned. I am beggining to hate Cesc now for not being man enough. In fact, at 23, he is still behaving like a small boy, thatis why the Barca players are taking advantage in dictating his future for they have seen the weakness in him. Come on Cesc grow up and speek for yourself.

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 1:48 pm

At the end of the day barca cant afford him they no that the players no that even cesc no that there is no way arsenal will let him go back for a cut price and if carlos puyol wants him back so much then he should buy him out his own pocket but oh i forgot he cant afford him either so its best they all just shut up and wait to see what happens in august next year haha.

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 2:03 pm

you thort adebayor and gallas were chaos?
what the hell do u call this?

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 2:29 pm

too late mate…wait for another year…it will be a fire sale on our part and when we go looking for per and a few more additions to add depth to the squad prices will hit the roof…

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 2:37 pm

to the chap calling arsenal fans fickle…suggest the barca stump up a reasonable amount…most will say let him go back for the right price…ideally he should be bid for with the highest bidder winning as in most other footballers case but since he wants barca and barca are so in love with him they should pay the price the current inflated market demands…and since apart from the german shepard (FIFI!) all at barca are so keen on having him and voicing their opnion about it why don’t the players agree not to receive their pay until the over and above part of the 30 mill in nullified with their 150,000+ a week odd (per player)

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 2:39 pm

Why would anyone want to go to a two bob club?

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 3:05 pm

Cesc is not daft if he lives arsenal with out punting in a transfer request he will get 10%
of the transfer. but if he puts in a transfer request he will loss it. so there is now way he will put in a transfer request in less he ass to . put can you see him losing 3 to 4 million pounds nar . on a more humerus not did you see the spuds losing 4-1 last night LOL champions league they will be lucky to go throw the qualification round LOL

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 3:07 pm

Sick of hearing about barca twats, take the hint and fcuk off and leave it out.

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 3:20 pm

yeah spurs were a joke. thrashed at home.
wow.
the champ league is for the big boys “arry”.
and spurs arent that………

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 3:28 pm

this is looking like the lebron james scenario..

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 3:37 pm

Not entirely. LeBron James will start for the Heat. Fabregas would be on the bench for the first 60-70 minutes of each game. But yes, both would be admitting they cannot win on their own and take the easy route to a title.

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 3:42 pm

cesc will stay for one more season so we win a trophy then he can go but if he wants to go this season so be it move on an replace him no one player dicides the faite of a club its a team effort so if his heart and mind is not in it let him go and make sure he is replaced with a top class player in return or take 2 players of barcalona aswell with the team we have will be enough to win the prem with as long as we get one defender and goal keeper and striker and an extra defencesive midfielder then anything else is a bonus the team is on the wright path to glory just need the defence sorted out no wingers or slack ass true players per metsacker or tasicdi from stutgart and wenger bring home some trophys as we are in need of some thanks woods.

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 3:45 pm

but cesc fabregas we all want you to stay we do understand that you eventuly want to go home some time but before you go help us win the premier leauge woods again been since 1991 forever arsenal

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 3:59 pm

What is all this bollocks! First of all its an old rehashed article – check your facts. Get a mate to read the Spanish piece if you cant understand it. The date is the same in both languages. Second, where did this £60 million come from? You know the answer – it was made-up. This is what journalism would look like if ape’s learnt to do it. Lazy as hell.

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 4:01 pm

He wont put in a transfer request as he would lose the signing on bonus element of his present contract. If he is sold without him specifically sticking in a request we have to honour the clauses in his current contract. He wants to have his cake and eat it. He talks of his fatherly love for Arsene Wenger but its all for nothing. If he was really that bothered he would hold a press conference to say he wants to go or stay but he is happy to sit in the background and let his so called friends from Catalonia do his bidding!! Isnt it funny that the most vocal is Puyol who ended his season in the 1st leg of the CL last term.

Cesc, be a man – if you want to go then slap in a request and be done with it. If you really want to stay, even if only for one more year, lay your cards on the table and let us, the fans, know what your intentions are. You have a choice now, leave on good terms and be forever a cult hero or end up like Flamini, Adebayor and others and leave under a cloud and all your good work will be undone !!!!

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 4:39 pm

what 60 million for cecs,,,nah i dont think so…players like cech is worth atleast 35 million pound…come on he aint messi or ronaldo or rooney or kaka….

he is just a great centre mid…but i think this is only rumours..

sometimes its not francesc who sent mix massage..its the media…

i think fab should stay atleast for another 2 years cos in barcalona he will be a bit part player..unless barca sell ibrahimovich so they can ply 4-4-2 or 4 2 3 1 2

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 4:59 pm

anonymous – July 30th, 2010 at 4:01 pm ……Spot on and it was exactly the reason why I don’t believed Fabregas will not put up a transfer request for fear of losing his bonus ……Just look at the quietly concluded Eduardo deal……All Arsenal fans gave their best wishes to him……YES Fabregas love & attached to Arsenal club, Wenger as a second father so let him think of his future meanwhile Arsenal fans continue to support his play instead of boo in the stadium….I do believed Fabregas is leaving us next season and enjoy his wearing of Arsenal shirt in play.

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 5:06 pm

If Arsenal looked like they were actually going to win anything then I’m sure Cesc would love to stay.

How long before RVP decides he’d be better off at Inter in the hopes of winning something? Next season probably.

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 5:07 pm

He is a central midfielder who can create and score goals – much the same as Zidane in his prime. He may not be worth £60 million but if Ronaldo is worth £80 million he must be worth at least £40-50 million. You are buying world class at 23 and that is a rare commodity, often players don’t reach this stage of their development until they are past 25. The fact he had a head start at Arsenal means he is ready to go straight into any first team and can still have 7-9 years at the very top level. Barca obviously recognise this and if they weren’t so financially troubled they would have happily paid £50 million. It is not Arsenal’s job to groom youngsters for Barcelona or anyone else for that matter. We took a chance on him and made him the household name he is today. Along the way we have increased Cesc’s wages to make him one of the highest paid players at the club and he happily accepted these raises and the length of contract offered at the time. Every player has his price, of that we can be in no doubt, and all clubs will sell a player if they feel the valuation is correct and suits them. Arsenal as a club will assess the situation and if they feel Barcelona meet their valuation then Cesc will be sold. You would not expect Barcelona to sell Messi to Boca Juniors for £30 million if he wanted to return to Argentina would you? Football is the ultimate free market economy, supply and demand, the club holding the contract holds all the aces and in this case Arsenal do not need to accept a lower fee to cover debts etc….

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 5:24 pm

All this speculation is coming from nothing as cesc has not said in any interview that he wants to go to barca this season simply that he wishes to return one day and does not want to upset barca by coming out and saying he wants to stay for another year. The barca fans should stop making it out as though were keeping him prisoner because if you thought he was that good why did you sell him to arsenal thinking he was a broken prospect.

Arsenal 2 be champs if they sign top CB and experienced GK (frey or swartzer)

gwan arsenal.

if kaka is worth 60 million, fabregas at 23 is worth 60 million.

i don’t know how many years on his contract are elft but at the end of this coming season if its at least 2, then his value is going to be around 50mil at least.

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 6:16 pm

he only left barcelona cos he knew he wouldn’t get 1st team football there but he wants to go bak, this is surely the work of the spanish players at barca.

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 6:16 pm

I am of the opinion that people(namely arsenal fans) would respect him more I mean this whole saga is so old that I personally dont care whether we sell him or keep him anymore. My only concern is surely we should sell? We should only have players who are 100% committed to arsenal. Not their future prospects in Barca. And sure i understand the deeper sentimental, i grew up in barca and have friends and family there stuff. They are not your club though, nor are they the people who made you into the player or man that you are now. Arsenal are! And i for one is sick of the disrespect that Arsenal continues to recieve like we aint one of the biggest football clubs in the world.

If Cesc does stay he’ll only go next year anyway and probably for less because he’ll end up having a rubbish season, like the veiras, henrys and adebayors before him. Tell Barca 60million for f**k off. Simple as that. And when they pay because they will regardless of what they tell the press. Buy Ozil or another replacement and lets do this thing. Come on you Gunners!!!

ok some of them say he has always wanted to go to barcelona….and we all know barca hav been behind him for the past couple of seasons…

so why did cesc sign a new 6yr contract last year….

if he wanted to leave..he would have done so by now….

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 9:01 pm

to be honest know i just don’t care any more because its clear that barca can’t cough up to pay the milk man at the moment so theres no story any where

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 10:00 pm

It’s so sickening! Adults with lots of money talking Vaca Caca.
Barcelona players act like they are Cesc’s only friends.
Why don’t all the friends and players in London tell a story about how loved Cesc is and how much they enjoy his talent, leadership and class persona. Reason why they don’t…don’t have to..he knows it. And one little catch…we don’t have to sell!!!

anonymous - July 30th, 2010 at 11:32 pm

Barca cant afford him thats why he’s staying no other reason any way i dont know why your worried have you seen nasri he is fresh and able to step in to his shoes.

anonymous - July 31st, 2010 at 12:09 am

What Arsenal should do is, if Cesc hands in a transfer request, starts playing his face cause he wants to leave, they should tranfer least him but sell him to the highest bidder, therefore they aint holding him against his will, if someone meets his valuation he cant leave, simple.

At the moment Barce think they are playing a smart game, this would put the cat among the pigeons if Arsenal decided keeping him with no worth it.

anonymous - July 31st, 2010 at 7:51 am

What are u talking about he has he wants to go the problem is its not up to him 2 problems really first Arsenal wont sell and if they did Barca. want him cheap because they think he was theirs and was stolen so 1. he ain,t going this year & 2 all the carry on & BS you can,t make a play honor his contract if he wants to go you can,t keep a player that wants to leave so u have to take whatever wont happen either if he asks 4 a transfer & buts on an act Arsenal will sell to the highest bidder & that wont be Barca
