When I heard that Ribery is out of the WC I said it could be a good thing for France. IAWT said I don't know what I am talking about. Now that so called expert saying the same as me, he said it could be that....

"In 2003, Cesc Fabregas left his great love, Barcelona, and then fell in love again with Arsenal. The decision to return home was about rejoining his first and greatest love.

Now that he has been rejected, what he has found is that Arsenal do not want him back. Perhaps Arsene Wenger has watched the Barcelona saga closely and learned what it took the Nou Camp hierarchy far too long to.

At Arsenal they now have Aaron Ramsey, Mesut Ozil, Santi Cazorla and Jack Wilshere. While they may still love Cesc, they don’t need him any more than Barcelona did in 2011 and, unlike Barcelona, they have proven smart enough to make the practical decision, rather than the emotional one.

They won’t disrupt what they have to get back what they had lost. This leaves Cesc in a kind of limbo. Neither of the clubs that he wants to play for want him, so he will wind up playing for Chelsea: A club for whom he has no love, and under Mourinho: a coach for whom he most likely has even less.

Ironically, he will probably win more there than he ever did with his two loves, but somewhere deep down he may come to know the sad truth of the last three years: He should not have moved, because Arsenal were better off with him and Barcelona, the club of his dreams, were far, far better off without him."

thought you left PPrick

HK?

Last year Wenger said we are monitoring Cesc situation very closely. He is going nowhere (United were interested).

Now Wenger rejected him. What has changed?

Wenger re-evaluated things, and decided he doesn't fit in our system anymore

I hope Barca now learn to leave our players alone.
none hardly work for them

I hope we end up applauding Wenger's decision to reject Cesc.

Could be one of the bravest he's made during his time at Arsenal.

as long as we buy the players that we need! it wont matter!

do you think that Cesc will have much of an impact at Chelsea though as he did with us? I can't see it

Lex?

Barca have wrecked so many great Arsenal players.

Overmars.

Petit.

Henry.

Van Bronkhorst.

Sylvinio.

Cesc.

Or the biggest mistake ever. Cesc is not in his prime yet....let him go to Chelsea will solve all their midfield problems and we have a even stronger rival.

HK, Nigeria the strongest of the African nations at the World Cup?
