All jokes aside, the situation is getting desperate; for Barcelona, Arsenal, but particularly Fabregas. Even of people Arsene Wenger is getting increasingly agitated and exasperated, citing concerns over focus just two weeks away from season kick off at St. James' Park in 13 short days;
"I'm just worried that the player has to be completely focused and committed to our club. At the moment he's coming back from an injury and we have to sort out that situation.
"He is the captain of our club and we have to make sure he is really focused on being with us."
with speculation surrounding the Arsenal captain, not once has Cesc spoke out publicly or come out and stated the way things are. sensible enough, ok, not to get involved with media speculation as frequently he gets misquoted, but the way things have occured is almost clandestine. Not Cesc speaking, but instead quotes come from Pique, Messi, Puyol and repeat offender, Xavi. Thats not to say he's been getting him to do his talking; make his soundbites, but for them to come out, and for him to then add further fuel to the fire by not making a statement, it just doesn't sit right.
But thats not what is angering me. In so much as its Barcelona's general decorum. President Sandro Rosell is a disgrace. He has stated that Fabregas' market value has gone down since last year; this for a player they are trying to get to come to their club. They will not pay more than £34m was the statement. Arsenal want £40m. Barcelona know they will not pay that as they repeatedly try to drive the price down to no avail. Its almost reaching an impasse. Check, if you will.
Also if I was Cesc Fabregas, I'd be looking at this situation, trying to unsettle him at Arsenal, because he wants to go home.
Let there be no doubt about that...
And yet they arent exactly trying to bust a gut in trying to sign him. They were more concerned about securing Alexis Sanchez. If I were Cesc, I would be nothing short of 'pissed-off' or muy annoye if you will.
On Saturday, much to my surprise, Cesc was in attendance at the Emirates Cup, sitting above with Tomas Rosicky and Carlos Vela. (and some bespectacled, bearded chap, who is that? : /) Good that he was showing face. But then at half time, he shot off down the tunnel, accompanied by a burley minder, out the stadium and into a silver Audi before being whisked of back to his
mansion (I assume).
I was not impressed. He claimed to have respect for the club.
thank god he didnt attend yesterday; he might have booed us off....
