    Fuck off, you fucking snake, and keep your poison away from my club 🐍🐍🐍🐍

    Go see if Xavi needs an assistant coach, if Barca’s even willing to give you a second glance.

    I’m one of the biggest Cesc apologists on here, thought we stole him from Barca and most players wouldn’t have stayed as long as he did when it was clear we wouldn’t be spending much, but I’ve got a limit.

    Fuck off, Fabregas.

    Thought he payed some of the transfer fee to Barcelona out of his own pocket? Or am I mistaken? 🤔

    Am I the only person here who doesn’t hate Cesc? Yeah he bummed us off to go and play for his boyhood club (who had the best team and manager on the planet at the time) but I don’t really hold it against him that much. He wanted to come back but we turned him down. With the benefit on hindsight he realised he probably should have stayed. Fair enough I think…

      I don’t hate him but this interview has annoyed me.

      There’s a lot of bile on here towards him, half of it from kids too young to have seen him play.

      The way I see it:

      1. We were a bit underhanded in how we got him, exploiting a loophole in Spanish youth contracts. £500k was a robbery.

      2. He could have jumped ship as soon as the Invincibles broke up and I bet most of the likes of RVP, Nasri, Adebayor, Hleb would have.

      3. He put in more of a shift than any of that lot. Leaving definitely was a signal to the rest of the squad but I doubt any of the Invincibles would have hung around with maybe the best club side in history calling.

      4. We didn’t build the squad. Even on a shoestring, a couple of signings could have made a huge difference. We always came up short as fixtures piled up and while he was leaving for Barcelona, we were signing Gervinho.

      5. Nobody leaves well. It could have been handled a lot better (Reina and the shirt ffs) but I don’t see people calling out Vieira nearly as much, or mocking Henry’s video when he left, or Ljungberg saying he was going to West Ham to win trophies. They were all more successful but I doubt they’d have done loads better with Cesc’s teammates.

      6. He was just fucking magic. At 17 he was twice the player of any other young player I’ve seen - and in central midfield. Wilshere, Saka, Ødegaard not in the same league as that kid. He was the heartbeat of that 2007/8 side and I loved them probably more than any other. If they’d pulled off the league win it’d have been more miraculous than the Invincibles. I loved watching them and I loved the way he played. Thought he should have stuck around for 1-2 seasons to build more experience while Xavi and Iniesta aged.

    I have come to the realisation that I actually respect RVP more than this snake.

    At least RVP is man enough to live with the consequences of his decision, he’s not deluded, he’s a Man Utd pundit now and has the decency to not bring up Arsenal.

    This idiot seems absolutely clueless, he truly thinks that if he says enough nice words will make a statue for him and welcome him back to the Emirates for a testimonial.

    Fuck of Cesc, go fuck off to Chelsea

      I didnt take what Cesc said quite like the others. The likes of Hleb realised it was better to be a star at a club like Arsenal rather than sit on the bench at Barca

      Cesc wishes he couldve stayed longer. The club just wasnt in the position to give him what he wanted though so he left. The team wasnt competitive and the club was unwilling to invest whilst the stadium debt was so big.
