This movie is starring our beloved Cesc Fabregas.
I remember that talented 16 year old playing and looking up to the likes of Henry and Viera. I personally think that he has been our greatest loss in the last 5 years. Considering that by the time he was 23 he had 7 years first team experiance with us. Not reached his peak and already winning awards that have gone to Bale. Now thats an indication of how bad the PL has become.
If he goes to Man City or United as is rumoured, my heart would be broken I couldnt take watching football anymore. Forget Nasri and RVP, Cesc made me fall deeper in love with Arsenal, when ruled out and he bursts out with a strike against Milan, that free kick against Villa to keep us in the title race. When Shawcross tried to decapitate Ramsey and he rallied us to win. That solo goal against Spurs, that pass to Nasri to create the winner against Barca.
How would you feel gunners? To think of it he wanted out and sulked his way out of the team to play under his idol who basically bought him for the sake of having a big signing that season as he had better talent at his disposal. Having said that if there is any truth in the rumours, I would feel more anger than I had for Ashley, Adebayor, Nasri and Van Persie

Cesc won't go anywhere, just papers talk. As for Thiago, yes why are we not after him? After all, Barca still owes us money....

Why aren't we after Thiago? We are crying out for more creativity in the team

Fair point. I don't know that we're not. But if Utd and cartainly Citteh are interested, then it'd take a serious ammount of arm twisting to get the lad to shoose the Emirates as his home.
Wenger did say before, in a very interesting interview, when going for a player(s), as a manager you are privy to certain inside info. Namely that certain players will move only to certain clubs and it's a non-starter getting involved. Quite often the agents have links with these clubs and deals have been provisionally agreed, at least in principle. Fascinating stuff.

Can't see him leave Barca this summer, especially after all the trouble he went through to go back to his hometown club. If he did leave, then it would be in the next few years, as competition at Barca will be fierce, especially with major talent coming through, such as Sergi Samper, who is heir to Xavi's throne. I would be surprised if Cesc went to another club other than us. He clearly loved the club, and AW was a father figure to him. We also have first refusal, but I do not know how effective that clause will be. If we make some signings and show some ambition and AW , then it would give us a better chance of getting him back.

I think he will stay at Barca. He waited an age to re-join them and has not had half as bad a time as some are saying...
Xavi is also on his last legs. I dont see fabregas leaving now....
for the record I would drive to Barca and pick him up if he wanted to re-sign for us. brilliant player.

Somehow I don't think Barca treats him as a Xavi replacement. He plays too high up for that

Cesc loves Barca so much he would be willing to stay on the bench for the rest of his career rather than leave

I hope you guys are right, but unless he has a more prominent role within that squad, he will not finish his career at Barca. This is considering that him replacing Xavi turned out to be a myth

But Xavi still plays - so its not conclusive
when Xavi leaves or retires will be a better indicator
