Mostly directed at all the people who were protesting about not signing Fabregas.
Do you still have the same view now you have seen Alexis in an arsenal shirt? If Cesc became avaliable now for thirty mil would you still want to sign him? Or would you do a Wenger and choose to concentrate on other positions and retain the club's dignity rather than chase a player who mugged us off.
Interesting to see if people's views have changed.
I personally think people's views were mainly based on the fear of us not making any big name signings. In hindsight Cesc would have been a silly signing for so many reasons imo
Sanchez vs Fabregas
posted on 11/7/14
If you are giving me the option of Sanchez OR Fabregas NOW then I take Sanchez because we need him much more - but if you are giving me the option of Fabregas or Ozil then I take Fabregas every time.
Ozil MIGHT get better, he is certainly a great talent, but I've sat in the North Bank and watched both and so far Ozil is not even close - Fabregas ran the show whilst at the Grove and was quite simply a genius...

lol where would anyone fit Cesc into our squad, looking at our midfield options they are ridiculous. He flopped at Barca and thought he would just walk back into our team, must have been a massive shock when Wenger rejected him.

A massive shock to you, too, 8bit, as for the last 3 years you have said how much you miss Cesc and how amazing he is and how Wenger would take him back in a heart beat and now suddenly he is shít.

That was just based on emotional thinking, I said from way back that Ozil and Cesc won't fit in the same team.
New DM, Flamini, Arteta
Ramsey, Wilshere, Diaby, Ox
Ozil, Cazorla, Rosicky
If you think we need Cesc then why don't you want us to buy another similar player, it's just an emotional decision. He's declined as well and would unbalance the squad, I don't watch Barca but 3 years is a long time and his career went downhill a lot, why should we just take him back. Zelalem will be better than Cesc in 3 years as well

Anybody who thinks Fabregas has lost it needs to watch how he plays for Chelsea this season, Mourinho is not a fool - I think it is going to be unpleasant viewing for us Gunners

Yes very true 8bit. All the people calling for Cesc.....why have you not been demanding we go for other central mids since then? why did noone suggest we need people in cescs position before we found out about him being sold. We all called for striker dm right back etc so why let emotion rule your head, cesc is not part of the family he left us

Bump

Why would you bump this? Chelsea are running away with the league, Fabregas is tearing the league up, was awarded man of the match against us in a game Alexis did nothing, and is bookies' favorite to win PFA Player of the Year.
If anything I'd delete the article and pretend you never wrote it.

I would have Fabregas over Sanchez every day of the week .

Fabregas is a different player to Alexis, they do different things - but that does not negate the fact that letting the best offensive CM in the world go to Chelsea when we could have had him back was idiotic - in fact negligent...
