You'd like to think Wenger has got bigger fish to fry which is why Cesc didn't come back.

Other priorities

He thinks we have enough in his position, which is fair enough. We need cover elsewhere.

Glad wenger doesn't listen to fan pressure, he did the right thing no matter what any deluded arsenal fans say

If you listen to his interviews he says a lot about team spirit. Perhaps he believes bringing Cesc back would ruin it all.

You are fooling yourself. After the euphoria of the FA cup, I am absolutely livid with Wenger and the board. Where else would you get a world class midfielder for 30 million quid? Again, I bet we sit on our hands all through the transfer window and get in a few freebies. Get spanked by a chite team in the league on August 29th or something and panic buy. Make a bid for a chite striker, get rejected and say no one of quality was available. I am not one to normally lose my cool, but Wenger and the board have LOST it. Wilshere, Ozil, Arteta, Cazorla, Ramsay...all at some point WILL be injured, out of form or fatigued. With our luck, it will happen at the same time. I know that I may get slaughtered by those who feel we dont need to strengthen in MF, but with Cesc available, how can we not. Serious lack of ambition. I bet we start the season with a new backup gk, Jenkinson at RB and Remy as the alt striker. We are always so close, but them miserly buggers in charge. gaaaaah

Cesc could ruin it. He is a top player. But very moody as well.
Not only that. Maybe he'd think he was still captain and what have you and start acting like one. Sure woukd rub other players the wrong way.

Chelsea needed midfield creativity more than Arsenal do. They have got a great player we simply didn't need.

Tbh though I don't think Jose wanted him. They hate each other.

Cesc is a bottler at heart, we just won a trophy, if anything he turns us into bottlers again, he's been replaced fully no need for him here

....and where does he fit in in a 10 man defense?

don't get your hopes up guys this is arsene we're talking about.

he'll wrangle over a few Mill, and give up on a transfer.

Chelsea sign Cesc and Costa, very good business for them.

Us????

Hello My Name Is Fickle

Haha

It could also be a matter of pride on Wenger's part, a sort of "We don't need you" that might just serve to motivate Cesc further. Wenger's stubbornness in the past has bordered on arrogant, so I wouldn't put something like this past him.

You're right IOAG.

I'm sad to see him head back to the PL, but fúck Barça for misusing his talent.
