Barcelona Want Arsenal Captain Cesc Fabregas to Go On Strike to Force Exit if this has any true the Barcelona truly have no class.

Barcelona want Cesc Fabregas to go on strike next week to force a cut-price move from Arsenal.
The Gunners face a nail-biting wait to see if their skipper turns up for the first day of pre-season training a week today.
Barcelona have had a £27million bid turned down and are unlikely to meet Arsenal’s £40m valuation.
If Fabregas refuses to join up with his team-mates, it will put Arsenal under enormous pressure to finally sell to the Catalan giants.
Although sources close to Fabregas say he has no intention of forcing an acrimonious exit from North London, it is clear that is precisely what Barca expect him to do.
But such a move could backfire spectacularly if Arsenal hold firm.
It will also shatter the image of loyalty Cesc has tried to cultivate despite publicly admitting he dreams of returning home to Barca.
Arsenal insist they will let go of their talismanic captain only if Barcelona meet their demands.

The source reportedly told the BBC that he expected the club would be forced to sell Fàbregas if a second offer arrived in the coming days that was considered sufficient. “If it’s enough I expect we’ll have to sell,” said the official.

why would we want thiago.....

by Guiltybystander Tue 28 Jun - 13:35

Thiago is a great player, Arsenal would be smart to get him.

Without a buy-back clause though, just to create another one of these sagas in the future.

Barcelona really are a pubic louse of a club, aren't they. Have all the charm and morals of a praying mantis, hidden behind their tikka masala football and aqua diving alumni

Just wish i could drop some F-bombs so i can fully describe how i feel about them

by Onyx Tue 28 Jun - 13:43

Arsenal should try and get Thiago as part of the deal.

by RealGunner Tue 28 Jun - 13:46

so we can train him up, make him a WC player and he goes back to barcelona ?

not to mention we have our own kids who might not be hyped up atm but have potential to be as good. So no need

by Onyx Tue 28 Jun - 13:48

Add a clause to the contract which says 'No return to Barca' or something. :coffee:

by Jay29 Tue 28 Jun - 13:51

We don't even need Thiago. We've got young midfielders of our own that are also very talented players.

I just cant wait for the day all this Cesc drama back fires on them.

Lex, you are really on fire man. The past few weeks, you have been making many such quote worthy posts.

But Barcelona are not a praying mantis. The only reason we are buying Cesc is because everyone thinks of this as a sort of home-coming and it is obvious this whole saga is not for sporting reasons. That is why there is so much drama. If we really needed Cesc, this deal would have been done and dusted a long time ago.

If Cesc did not want to come to Barcelona, then none of this would be going on. You should not be blaming us, when the captain himself wants the move to happen!

If Arsenal were using their most marketable players they would have thrown in Vermaelen, Fabregas, Walcott and van Persie. Perhaps this should suggest that not appearing in a photoshoot promoting a kit means nothing.

Actually, Vermaelen and Chamakh were part of the photo shoot as well. But I completely agree with you Razz

It is annoying that the story goes on about how this is an indication that Cesc is leaving, without acknowledging by that same standard that it would mean Nasri is staying. You may also notice that every time anybody mentions the name of an Arsenal player being linked with a move away in this off season, it automatically becomes front-page news on goal.com. The media does nothing but try to disrupt our club during transfer windows. I hate summers as an Arsenal fan Sad

by gkamtu Tue 28 Jun - 20:02

its time to accomplish their target of catalans to dominate the world football and messi must now think where to go if the transfer completed keita,abidal and ol non catalans must go...imo!

Maybe we can finally have our lives back after all the drama.

by Mr Nick09 Fri 1 Jul - 12:41

Cesc was also omitted in the promotional video for the tour in asia Smile

EC reported that Pep pushed Rosell to close down the transfer and Fabregas will transfer next week Smile

If this is true then Perez is a bigger troll than huntsman.

Real Madrid could make a bid for Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas, according to Sky Sports News.

The Spain international refused to rule out a move away from the Emirates earlier this week, with reports suggesting Madrid’s rivals Barcelona had made an improved offer for the midfielder.

Fabregas has long been linked with a return to Barcelona after coming through the club’s youth system before joining the Gunners in 2003.

Barca president Sandro Rosell has confirmed that the club are not prepared to pay over the odds for Fabregas, but Real are believed to be willing to spend €50 million (£45m) to take the player to the Bernabeu.

Real coach Jose Mourinho is said to be keen on the Gunners midfielder, who he sees as the ideal signing after becoming too reliant on Xabi Alonso last season.
