I am not a football fan at all. I am a blonde when it comes to football matters But from what i have been hearing people discuss, i have come to a conclusion that this dude, Fabregas, is very important in this Arsenal. So what if he leaves??? And what if he stays???

Can i single player cause a stir and make a team lose or win???

Though fabregas has been very instrumental in the arsenal squad in the recent past,i dont see his departure as a threat to Arsenal as a team as the cash that will be received from his sale to them(Barcelona) will/can be used to bring in a quality midfielder , a goal keeper and two central defenders.., from my perspective i think his departure will be a blessing in disguise for the Mighty Gunners.

@mcr, im shocked too, kwani when were they demoted fm The Greatest Gunners?

Its amazing how arsenal has gone 5 years without a trophy yet its still the club (EPL) with the highest number of supporters in Africa.

Fabregas is under contract, if Barca want him then they have to meet Arsenal's asking price.

Arsene should just leave tha club,5 years no cup!,lets have a change,tha players are superb

TAZ, ulinyamazishwa???

Mr. Bean is going to play the same game SAF played with Real, only that SAF convinced Ronaldo to stay for one more season and ended up getting more money for him than any club has ever gotten for anyone else..

Arsene is asking for no less than 50M pounds for Cesc, Barca were willing to part with 30M pounds and Yaya Toure. Frankly I believe that Cesc is worth more than 30M pounds but Barca are looking at it from 2 points:

1. They bought Ibra for 40M pounds the previous season and are likely not to sell him this season, even with David Villa in the bag.
2. Cesc came from the youth ranks of Barca and even when (not if) he joins Barca (might be next season but 1), he is still not guaranteed starting line up with Xavi and Iniesta in the mix, same way he doesn't start for the Spain national team. Why would I pay 50M pounds to bench a player?

That said, it'll be interesting to see how the situation pans out because no one wants to keep a player who wants to leave but Arsene has no option but to make it painful for Barca to acquire Cesc! The jury is out on this one...

These dudes should hire Mourinho They need a miracle

These dudes should hire Mourinho They need a miracle kweli mtupu!!!!!!!!

Smano....Mourinho is a very good manager but he is not the greatest, just alot of hype and attitude. Only last Season Pep Guardiola (in his first season)won all the trophies that were available and he did it playing good football.....Frank Rijkaard also won the double for Barca (CL & La Liga), right now he is in-charge of Galatasaray still winning trophies there.

He knows how to manipulate the media (Especially English). He has achieved success with clubs that expect and demand it...clubs that pay whatever it takes for them to achieve Short-term success. Last season he went on 100 million pound spending spree at inter....
