Insensitivity? what are you talking about? So if I make Cesc responisible for the situation Cesc, which he is, I am a so called fan? funny.

He is under contract and is well paid so no reason to feel sorry for him. What about Arsene, the guy looks like he aged 20 years. Cesc can squash the situation if he wants to by saying I am staying at Arsenal. What he has contributed has nothing to do with that. Barca have no respect for us and he isnt saying anything to cause them to be respectful.

Get it straight, loyalty is almost a done deal in sports. The people who the crap end of the stick are the fans.

I personally don’t need constant reassurance. But when the player and his father are saying how much they want to be at Barca, alarm bells are ringing!

Fabregas left it in Wenger’s hands as a mark of respect to the manager and the club, and you criticise him for it?

We as Arsenal fans really have to be smarter than all this. Cesc does not owe us an explanation, he owes us 100% of his football until his contract is up or we sell him for a price we’re happy and nothing more.
Cesc Fabregas is a lifelong Barcelona fan. At home he has one of Pep Guardiola’s Barca shirts given to him by Guardiola, his footballing hero, signed “one day you will be no.10 for Barcelona.” Like it or not, his eyes have always been on a triumphant Catalan return and playing under his idol will be a very tempting prospect. How can we blame him for not wanting to get involved in the politics and leave it up to those holding the purse strings.
It is quite clear that the understanding between Cesc and Wenger was, if Barcelona put in a serious offer, he would consider it seriously. Which is exactly what would have happened anyway. The Circus that’s going on is simply for the entertainment of the fans, don’t let it change your feelings for a player who has acted with pure, silent professionalism in his dealing with the press and has consistently given his best on the field: playing through pain, dragging the team forward and providing a perfect footballing role-model for the rest of the youngsters. At 23 these are also the factors that push his value light-years beyond the mere monetary value of his contract. In fact (and I know I’m biased) I value a Cesc far greater than a Ronaldo because his talents bring out the best in others. If Barca aren’t willing (or able) to part with a good multiple of their first offer, I can’t see Cesc going anywhere.
But it’s a funny business, so…

I can’t believe people can question Fabregas’ and Wenger’s integrity. Model professionals and two of the classiest characters in football are having their intelligence, morals and loyalty questioned. What a fucking joke. Have a fucking look at yourself. You’re calling Arsene Wenger an idiot and Cesc Fabregas a traitor, but you’re willing to listen to the headlines on NewsNow and the propaganda of Joan Laporta and swallow it like a fucking spoonfull of royal jelly. Fucking retards.
