this is the english press, as a result of Cesc heading back to london.
What a laugh, Wenger isnt even in London at the momentCesc Fabregas held a meeting today with Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger in London and told his French mentor of his desire to leave Arsenal this summer and sign for Barcelona, according to AS.
What a laugh, Wenger isnt even in London at the moment
look I don't mind him leaving, just hand over the 80 million plus pounds then I will be happy.
I am certain that the Arsenal will be able to recruit suitable world class replacements
Would not even have to buy a replacement - would rather replace Diaby, Denilson - and spend the money on getting the best defenders possible. Nasri, Rambo, Wilshere can all take over. Not worried at all.
Well - just look at who the author of the article is - Cyrus C Malek who writes almost exclusively Barca/La Liga stories and uses Marca as his source.
What is your source for saying this?
check your facts buddy - it was a video on spanish tv - in spanish - not on sky.
Had the interview (which is quite hilariously edited to suit said news media) translated into english by a spanish friend
Question: 'if you leave arsenal, would you only do so if it were barca?'
Cesc: Yes, only barcelona [audience applause]
Cesc: but it is disrespectful to behave this way (to such questioning). I am very happy with life at arsenal and with Barca fighting for the title it would be disrespectful to speak such things as I am a player of arsenal'
-no question, just edit straight to answer- yes, we will sort this out hopefully before the world cup
a source who had seen the entire interview told several reputable arsenal blogs that the interviewer asked Cesc if it was true Arsenal had offered him a new, improved contract over the 8 year one he had signed in 2007/8. The fact that the question was omitted from the spanish interview and then passed on to several tabloids, screams mischief. We are assured tho, that Cesc will make a statement on the official Arsenal website (www.arsenal.com) confirming his position as he has had to do, several times.
Cesc Fabregas is the captain of Arsenal. The young man knows his responsibilities more than anyone and how he portrays himself in the media - i say this, due to the fact that whenever a story, no matter how trivial, has run - he has always come out to state he is 100% committed to Arsenal. The team has been built around him, and I have absolutely no doubt he is staying a gunner.
Online Ed: Obituary for an Arsenal career
There doesn’t seem much point in holding off writing this. The official announcement will come when the fee is agreed, but the writing has been very much on the wall since Cesc Fabregas’ effective ‘come and get me’ interview last week. The Arsenal captain is going to Barcelona, and he’ll be unveiled in the blue and red before the World Cup. Arsenal, if they are cute, may attempt to delay the announcement of the deal until the June 1st season ticket renewal date has passed, but this is one Catalan that’s out of the bag.
This is turning out to be pretty funny
Arsenal supporters are in denial and praying to the gods that Cesc stays.
Go play with the chap and his sprinklers.

How much do you expect Barca to pay for Cesc?
@Cantera, you have had your say now you may gladly leave.......
Go play with the chap and his sprinklers.
It must be very lonely on the Barca thread, shame no one to talk to. That's why he comes and wum here.
