Sign up with GoogleBarca will go around trying to use scare tactics with Arsenal, so that they 'give in' to their demands. Unlike some foolish claims here, we can take surety in the fact 1. that the captain of Arsenal will not hold his club to ransom 2. will wonder just how much Barca want him, if they go pay over the top for a dunce of a striker who is the chuckling stock of most supporters, yet can't shelve out a similar amount for someone they claim to really want.
What they fail to realise is, Arsenal are no push overs. They have horded every cent of theirs and ran a club the way they do, not to be pushed about by a bunch of politicians in suits, nor the father of a player or his agent. In fact, a deeper recollection, and one will remember that this North London team are the last of the all-Brittish owned top 4, and will sit on their hands, until they get what they require.
This football club will not bow down to anyone. Those who think that Arsenal will simply 'give in' obviously don't know a thing about the club, it's traditions and its integrity within the modern game. This may be how things are done in Spain - you throw your toys around and cry to your daddy, until you get whatever you want, but not in this league. Arsenal will expect Cesc to be a man, stand up and honour his contract - a contract he was only too happy to sign not too long ago. If 8 years was too much for him to handle (as no team has the rights to any silverware, it has to be earned and that is no guarantee), then sign a 3 year deal. He signed - he's got to deal with it. The player is never bigger than the club - rot in the reserves if you have to. For 30m quid take your pick: we have Denilson, Diaby, Eduardo, Eboue, Fabianski. Take the lot - but our captain, and seemingly best player, who is tied down to 8 years and worth 80 odd mil in the current market? Do us a favour. And don't let that hit you on the way out.
