One Question About The Whole Cesc Fabregas Affair

Posted on by

Most Arsenal fans are furious (myself included) about Arsene Wenger’s decision to “opt out” of re-signing Cesc Fabregas, a player who is world class, would improve ANY team in Europe and also has invaluable Premier League experience.

Not forgetting the fact that new players need time to settle at a new club – and with Cesc there would be no such problems. He could literally walk back into the club and continue where he left off.

You have some Arsenal supporters who are saying not signing Cesc is the right call – and most of these fans seem to be in the Arsene Knows Brigade. For those fans, my simple question is this:

If we didn’t want him back, then why the hell did we have a first refusal clause in the first place?

 

Why The F*ck Aren’t Arsenal Signing Cesc Fabregas?!

It’s been confirmed that Arsene Wenger and Arsenal have opted out of a clause which would give them first refusal on Cesc Fabregas.

How do you feel about this?

Because I’m absolutely livid!

Cesc is a world class player, and we struggled last season when Aaron Ramsey got injured last season. He’s a proven talent in the Premier League, into his peak years and would make any of the top teams even better.

So why don’t we want him?

Honestly, I have no f*cking idea. Maybe Arsenal have limited resources and Arsene is determined to strengthen in other areas.

But we all know that by the end of the summer, we’ve end up with a few signings off being true Premier League contenders. It’s been the same old story for the last 9 seasons, when it comes to the league at least.

I’ve said all along we should get Cescy back. It makes so much sense on so many levels – he would give the players, club and fans a huge boost, and he scores goals. His assist record is fantastic as well and we have a ready made replacement captain for Thomas Vermaelen. So what’s the deal?

Arsene Wenger must believe on some level that Cesc is not the player he once was. In typical Arsene fashion, he will believe that Cesc being at Arsenal would hinder the progress of the other players – but we know that’s ridiculous. Cesc was brought up in a team with midfielders like Pires, Vieira, Gilberto, Parlour, Freddie, Reyes and Edu. With that midfield, we went a whole season unbeaten.

What’s our current midfield? We have Ramsey who is our best player but his injury record is patchy. Jack Wilshere has his injury problems, as does Tomas Rosicky (plus the Czech is over 30 now). Mikel Arteta is getting on, and Flamini tends to pick up a lot of yellow cards.

Seriously, I have no idea why we’re not signing him!

 

Why Cesc Fabregas Should Join Chelsea

With disappointing reports that Arsene Wenger has snubbed the chance to re-sign Cesc Fabregas, it’s open season in terms of securing his signature and Chelsea look favourites to sign him.

It makes sense – his family are in London, he likes the capital and apparently Manchester United have cooled their interest after Louis Van Gaal took over at Old Trafford.

And if Arsene has lost the plot and can’t see the advantages to signing our former captain, then Cesc should join Chelsea. Chelsea have the financial power to give him excellent wages, he’d be working with Jose Mourinho who is a born winner (although we joke that he’s the specialist in failure, you can’t knock his outstanding record) and the bottom line is Chelsea will be right in there when it comes for challenging for the major honours next season.

With a decent striker they managed to reach the Champions League semi-finals and were right in the title race for the Premier League with 2/3 games to go. Yes, they finished the season empty handed but with a squad with obvious limitations, Jose Mourinho did an excellent job.

At Manchester City, they have the midfield partnership of Fernandinho and Yaya Toure which is formidable, while Frank Lampard has just left Chelsea and it makes sense signing Cesc to be his long term replacement. They also sold David Luiz for £50 million so they definitely have the available funds. Cesc is a proven talent in the Premier League and would be a massive asset to Chelsea – and I’m sure Jose Mourinho would love to sign Cesc and have him comeback to haunt Arsenal in some way.

If Arsenal are stupid enough to let this chance pass them by then Cesc has every right to look for the best option for himself and his family. And if he wants to return to England, then they option is Chelsea Football Club.
