Sad to see Fabregas go

How Barca and Real pursue the best players in all leagues is infuriating. This may sound ridicules but what if every club add a clause in their contract to prevent them from signing to La Liga clubs. Itll protect them against barca and real. It will prevent them from offloading unwanted players to spain but Barca and Real are only after top players and rest of the La liga clubs are skint anyway.

He is a great player, but he belongs where he wants to play....I am not sad to see him leave the PL...all the better for United, (weakens the opposition don`t it?) I would gladly put in our team!!!! Wouldn't care if all the opposition star players went elsewhere... all we should desire is to win... win WIN....in SAF we trust!

We get to see these great players performing elsewhere anyoldhow, so there!

Yes I would prefer to see Faregas in the premier league, but why is it shameful for Barcleona to pay £40m for a player that Arsenal poached from them when he was 16.

he is a great player and will be missed by many fans from other teams not just arsenal,good luck cesc

It doesnt matter what Faregas did when he is 16. Cesc is an Arsenal player and the way barca went about it in this deal is utterly disgraceful

Screen,
what is it that you think is disgraceful?
If I were an Arsenal fan I would be upset that he was going, but I would understand that he has given his best for my club, but would prefer to play for the club he supported as a boy, & currently the best club side in the world. Arsenal poached him off Barcelona for nothing, Barcelona are paying £40m. It seems fair to me or even a little harsh on Barcelona

I wouldn't be too sad about it for Arsenal they have made 40 million pure profit. Fabregas gets to warm the bench for his favorite club and you can't deny anyone a chance to do that. Arsenal are worse off, but with shrewd investment it could make them all the stronger because let's be fair we haven't really had to worry about them too much for the last few years with him there.

25m they bought Cesc for not 40m.

@ Bring on the Dustbin (U7592)

the way barca went about this deal is disgraceful. If they want a player they should pay the fee and buy him. What if Real wanted Hernadez and everyone in Real keeps making comments on how Hernadez should be at real without paying the required fee?

Screen,
We’re probably arguing semantics. Yes I would be upset if we lost one of our better players & I don’t like how money rules the game, but the player wanted to go & both clubs agreed a price, so I don’t see it as “disgraceful”

Comparisons would be
David Beckham to Real Madrid. I wasn’t happy, but that’s life
Gerard Pique (loads of potential, but not yet the complete player). In a similar to Fabregas, we poached him from Barcelona & he wanted to go home. United understood & a “free” transfer was arranged.
Ronaldo to Real Madrid. Ronaldo’s boyhood club. Again I wasn’t happy, but that’s life. You may argue that at least we got a good price, but as a fan if I had the choice I’d rather have the player than the cash.
