Goes to show that managers have certain talent in identifying player's potential if they were to be given a different position. I hate to admit this also, but Pep Guardiola is smart to put Fabregas not on his original position like he was with Arsenal. Nonetheless, I am happy Fabregas has been very successful after leaving us for Barcelona. I remember in his contrat clause that Arsenal will earn more bucks depending on Barcelona's achievement with Fabregas.

wow... wat happen to man utd?
i rather man utd win epl than man city...

Cesc is good in making his runs because he is a passer, he knows where a passer will pass and esp the barca dna in him (dam i hate to mention this).

In Barca, the passing can leave it to messi, xavi and iniesta (dam so many good passer... ) so he had to play the false 9 position which i think he fits in really really well.

what with this cesc talk?he is a traitor

no lah, cesc play for 8 year, he is better than nasri... if he is traitor he will go many season ago but he still stay and fight together... until now he still support arsenal and still watch arsenal game... most of all he respect arsene wenger..

without AW he will be not be the fab right now.

Agree...maybe he still a boy that keep on FAB in the toilet only..no one know who is he!!

Whether Fabregas is a hate figure or not, it's hard to judge.

At very least, he's now in Barca which is one of our bitter rivals in UCL, therefore, I do not like it.

I see you having fun in MUST.. but at the expense of Arsene Wenger.

re : our ex #4

i do not think it's a case of hard to judge at all bro Kimhoong. like for me, it is very easy for me to say that the Catalan boy is a traitor because that is truly how I felt and I have my own reason and justification for that. I'm very sure some (or maybe a lot) Gooners in here disagree with that and with their own justification. so for me, it's more towards 'each to their own' kind of issue

re : the sale

damn the replica kit is not on sale yet. I purposely did not buy them earlier in the season due to expecting a sale starting this month

I always respect individual's opinion, whether it's good or bad.

This time on Fabregas, I'm more towards to hating him For me, Barca is always his target and Arsenal was as if his stepping stone or caretaker before leaping to Barca. Some may argue that Barca is his childhood club blah blah blah... but for me, you are committed to the club you sign with and his situation, it was him wanting to go to Barca rather than Arsenal wanting to sell him.

Yeah, it's too late to discuss on this but it's just for the sake of foruming

agree

personally i dont think cecs is a traitor. he served our club for many years. plus he's a catalan. never seen he sulking anytime b4 he off to barca. respect to that attitude. well everything must come to an end so he's gone now. life goes on. let's keep on cheering to our beloved club till the end!

well, we are not that far off in our opinions towards him then

it hurts when he left, the way he left, and it still hurts now. I'm not sure if I hate him though, but I do hate his currect club

^ well haters gonna hate.

fair enuff my fellow gooner, everyone entitle to have their own opinion.

imo fab is not a traitor and never near that at all. Compared him with others who left us such as Ashley Cole, Nasri, Adebayor... He is far from them. He is our best player, best midfielder in EPL ( that Lampard and Gerrard is not even in his league). He wanted to leave us many seasons ago. This is what I think is those spanish symptoms. Once they got enough, they will surely want to go back to their own country. So yea, he had have enough of England after 8 years and he wanted to go back to his own home. Moreover, his broke up with his long term gf made him even want to get back to his family more than ever. And needless to say, his old friends from Barca.

so he was just homesick to me. Nothing to do with loyalty. But of course he opened up his options to all clubs, we can easily sold him to Real Madrid for 70m GBP.

Is Henry's loan confirmed?

i agreed with liez.compare him with cole,adebayor or even nasri,he is too far from being a traitor.he already did the best he could during the time with us.iinm,last two seasons ago we already knew he would leave us come next summer (which means,last summer) if we couldn't win anything.he didn't left us for money.it's just his time with the club has ended and he need to move on or should i say move back to his hometown.

the arsenal direct sale already on since last month.but not for the replica kit though.maybe they're waiting for henry's signing to earn extra income.LOL

Bro..what's the length of t-shirt XS size?

Anyone knows?

Dunno why? Kinda think that since the rumor of singning Henry, the whole thing seems to me like a shirt selling program. A legend in the 125th Arsenal years. Better if he can play in Champions league, even more jersey sale. But thats just what it looks like la. In deep we know he can more or less contribute if not directly then indirectly to the forwards of our clubs.

Anyway since EPL january transfer widows is gonna open in . /fm/ mode on.

-Arsenal should sign Alexandre Pato for £20mil, to cover gervinho's temporary departure to African cup.

-Lukas Podolski should come to us too to share some van Persie's burden.

-Sign Demba ba!!! He is teh goal scoring machine!!! Sign him before his price hike again!!!

-Since fab's departure, we don't have some real AM. So signing both Eden Hazard and Mario Gotze will be essential to have a good midfield for launching attacks.

If we signed everyone above... this will be our team.

1st team:-

---------------- Szczesny------------------

Sagna--- Koscielny--- Vermaelen--- Santos

-----Gotze---- Song------ Hazard------------

---Walcott---- Van Persie© -------- gervinho---

2nd team:-

---------------- Fabianski---------------------

Jenkinson--- Mertesacker-- Miquel-- Gibbs

---- Alex Ox---- Coqueline------ Arteta---------

------- Pato----- Demba ba©------- Podolski---

Reservations:-

1) Ryo Miyaichi
2) Park Chu Yong
3) Benayoun
4) Arshavin
5) Ramsey
