Cesc deal done according to Guillem Balague:

Done. Cesc will travel to Madrid with the side. Good luck to him. For Arsenal a new era starts

SSN reporting he is to be presented as a Barcelona player tomorrow, according to reports in Spain. Looks like it's finally over.

Arshavin is inconsistent,unfit, goes missing in games and he is out of synch with his team mates most of the times, wrong guy to play there. He is more of a ss...not a midfielder.

I would put Ramsey and Jack in the middle, in terms of talent and energy and consistency they are our best bet in midfield.

I was just reading this too?

Huh Wenger?

And from that picture of Fabregas and VP, it looks like he's saying goodbye...unless they hug everytime they meet.

about time cesc thing is over with

by Lex Fri Aug 12, 2011 1:46 pm

Meh whatever

Initially left Alcatrazcelona because his starting options were limited

Is now returning because his starting options are now........still limited

Wenger was probably winding up the press, just a normal conference from him. From saying that "we would like to sort it quickly" last night to saying that "I expect no-one to leave" is pretty drastic.

Next step is to get Nasri out. Man City are negotiating or so Mancini says so hopefully we get the reported 60 million out of this and replace both of them.

On Rozza, I'd feel a bit wary of placing our trust in him as our 1st choice AM here. Yes his form has picked up a bit in pre-season but he still was drifiting in and out, albeit less. Rather he stayed as a squad player. He was excellent pre-injury but now he's more static and doesn't move as well

Arshavin is more of a SS, but I guess he has potential to play as an AM. I remember in pre-season that he set up VP with a nice chip in the AM position, which VP scored. I think it was in the Asia tour. He just needs to improve his work ethic to be starting there, although I don't see that happening.

Just read some snippets from Wenger's conference. All I can say is: "...the frak?"

He might have been winding up the press - hell, they deserve it - but he's also winding up the fans who also watch and follow these things.

Can't wait until this thing is over. We all have to move on.

to be honest...this is bad management, it has unsettled the team. Cesc and Nasri should have been sold earlier

To be fair to him he actually has slimmed down a bit, and looks like he did figure wise when he first came. But yes that too Razz

his fitness is a disgrace for a top class footballer, i think this has a big effect on his form. he is out of breath after 20 mins Laughing

by Amar Fri Aug 12, 2011 2:04 pm

Even if they stay, which I highly doubt now, I really don't know how I'd feel with Fabregas and especially Nasri at the club...

It's over, you have AS, Marca, El Mundo Deportivo, etc. all claiming that the Cesc deal is finalized. Of course, it would've have shown class if Barca and its players waited for the official announcement to make public comments... but what do you expect from the Cules.

looks like a done deal.... first time i have seen Puyol say anything

by Jay29 Fri Aug 12, 2011 2:39 pm

Gervinho has taken Eboue's no. 27 shirt.

Eboue hasn't got a number.

Hmm...

by TalkingReckless Fri Aug 12, 2011 2:39 pm

Eboue is leaving Wenger Confirmed it a while ago.... him and bend are looking for clubs atm...

I really don't want Eboue to leave. This is too much now Cesc, clichy,Eboue,Bendtner and maybe Nasri.

5 Players and 4 starters are not going to end well for us.

by Spider Fri Aug 12, 2011 2:46 pm

Wojciech has taken the #13 so if Almunia Lift then Fabianski should wear the # 1

by bloodless Fri Aug 12, 2011 2:47 pm

Wenger knew all this from the start of the season and took his sweet time with it, I blame him for not dealing with right away and just before the first game of the season 4 players might leave.

How can we deal with this, this is bullshit.

by ArsenalWenger Fri Aug 12, 2011 2:48 pm

mundodeportivo MundoDeportivo.com
El Arsenal no ha aceptado oficialmente la oferta del Barça. Cesc sigue en Londres a la espera

If my Spanish serves me well, this translates to:

Arsenal haven't accepted the official offer from Barca. Cesc is still in London waiting. (or something like that)

Don't know what is happening.
