Is fabregas seriously not worth a punt! Can we as arsenal fans be so precious. I'm really sure if an acceptable offer was made he would love the return.

08 May 2017 21:50:05
He still has a lot to offer, even though he seems to be a 'bit part' player lately.

His assists record speaks for itself.

I wouldn't say no.

Personally I have nothing against fab but I want to look forward not back and I think we need a striker a holding mid and a central defender before we look out wide, maybe an ozil replacement? and I can't see chelski selling him to us.

08 May 2017 22:29:42
I don't understand your before we look out wide comment steve?

No beef with cesc he had ambition no harm in that. If he leaves Chelsea it will be abroad. I think seria A is possible.

09 May 2017 00:16:43
Sano after getting said positions, arguably the next positions that need looking at are our wide players, various question marks on bellerin, ox walcot, sanchez and fab couldn't play any of the roles, the only one he could play would be ozils, maybe.

Reluctantly I must say that Fabregas looks perfect for us, particularly in our new formation, where his lack of pace wouldn't be too problematic and I'm sure he wants to stay in London, where his wife and children are based. However, I disliked the way he left the club by manipulating a move, despite ring our captain and having 3 years left on his contract.

09 May 2017 07:23:37
Ah I thought I would ask before I jumped in steve! Yes you are correct.

09 May 2017 08:06:59
I really don't think another pretty psssing player is needed. We need someone with fight and physical dominance in the middle.

09 May 2017 09:08:27
I thought that cesc wanted to join us but we had ozil and didn't want him? Can't blame him for where he chooses to go after that.

09 May 2017 13:43:17
Fabregas paid part of his transfer fee to engineer a move away from Arsenal (correct me if I am wrong Eds) . For that reason and that reason alone, I don't want him anywhere near our team.

{Ed002's Note - No he didn't. Barcelona paid the fee.}

09 May 2017 14:06:44
Agree with D16. No problem with Cesc but we already have plenty of what he offers. We still need a proper DM in my view, and i would be happy for Wilshire and Coq to be sold to make way for him (Willian Carvahlo might be worth a shout - He certainly didn't do Portugal any harm the minute he started playing for them in the Euros (2nd game onwards) ! ) Also, we should find a way of getting Maitland-Niles closer to the first team, rather than loaning him out. We all look and marvel at Monaco, and probably court their 18 year olds, yet expect our 19 year old to be loaned out for experience. We may already have our own Mbappe in Maitland-Niles and Rene Adelaide but if they don't play we will never find out.

We done this to death, cesc left to win trophies and go back to Barcelona ( seems pretty logical to me ) I think he did the right thing for him, you only live once. And he has a full trophy cabinet. Result.

09 May 2017 17:12:42
I don't begrudge fabregas at all. He give us a good service and was always on form hardly injured and proud to wear the shirt. Even when at Barcelona always talked about us and followed us as a fan. I can put my money 100% on him loving to put the shirt on again.

08 May 2017 17:02:19
a media article with the head line "Romelu Lukaku tells media to stop transfer speculation over Everton future" you can only laugh at their shamelessness!

08 May 2017 12:48:00
Question, and I guess there's no way to get an answer, but is Matt Law Ed002?

{Ed002's Note - What is a Matt Law? There was Matt Dillon who was a lawman in "Gunsmoke".}

That's bellow the belt arsenalex. He's a shockingly unreliable journo at the telegraph.

Leaving Arsene's future completely out of it, what are the 3 most positive things you can come up with for this season?
For me
1 it's finally beating Chelsea and in some style too.
2 actually topping our champions league group ( thanks Cavani :-)
3 reaching the fa cup final, especially beating City in the semi.

1. The pitch still looks like a carpet
2. Seeing the bench eating maltesers during yesterday's game
3. Ravers posts which go from elation to despair and back again depending on which day or even which hour it is.

1) Gunnersaurus is our most consistent "performer".

2) Wenger has finally worked out how to zip/ unzip his coat.

3) my Kodi box works a treat.

1. i'm sleeping better due to the copius amount of consumed alcohol when we lose.
2. I don't worry about winning the league any more.
3. I've lost loads of weight on my arsenal diet.

08 May 2017 19:06:18
1. The fans have no power at all
2. Wenger thinks that trying to copy contes tactics with 6 games to go is going to bamboozle the out brigade
3. A man who never comments on signings is now openly talking about the most wanted players in Europe again in an attempt to bamboozle the faithful.

1. The UKIP party has lost 80 seats so far in the local elections.
2. Robbie from Arsenal FanTV purchased himself a new Rolls Royce.
3. Arsenal's long unbeaten streak since 7th May until the end of the season.
