Looking at Fabregas reports of him going to Chelsea & claiming that Pique apparently was over heard at a press conference saying to Del Bosque that Cesc has told me the deal is done, €33M Objectively; £26M is a very low amount in todays climate. But what it also is, is the price we sold him and in theory, the value of any subsequent buy back or first refusal clause that Arsene confirmed is in place last summer. Surely if any deal is done at €33M, it has to be Arsenal, as Barcelona would surely just trigger a bidding war if we waved our buy back rights. That would fetch a lot more than £26M for a player of his stature. Subjectively; Im shitting myself and would be physically sick if Cesc joined the Chavs or any other EPL side. Most probably; Any transfer reports that use the words TalkSport Understands, Sources close to, is believed to be/have, Is alleged to have or uses other equally flimsy press reports as evidence is to be ignored. Arsene, do the right thing. This is about more than just a player and a position. Cesc, do the right thing. You are a cult hero at Arsenal, just like Eboue! Dont ruin that.
