Done deal according to press today 33mill joining Costa (32) not bad swaps for Luiz and Lukakuo!

Slipped out at Spanish team presser yesterday by Pique.

To many done deals over the years that have never happened means I'll believe it when I see it.
 
Moyes wanted him, but he's gone. Arsenal have Ozil, liverpool probably cant afford him. city dont need him, although that could change i guess.

That doesnt really leave much choice in England...
 
The arse have said they are not interested, that doesnt leave many options in england
 
Seems all a conspiracy theory to me!

Arsenal had the 'first refusal' clause in his contract with Barca, so were offered when he was made available.

I'm sure the possibility of him going elsewhere in England was part of the consideration when the offer was declined.

Just the sort of mischief Maureen would enjoy though! :rofl: And doesn't mean it won't happen!
 
Its a done deal, worth it just to see the sad arse fans crying at the site of him in a Chelsea shirt.

I know Arsenal have a glut of good midfielders but it does still surprise me that Wenger didn't snap Fabregas up. Perhaps wage/agent demands had something to do with it or simply Wenger doesn't think Fabregas is still the player he once was? Strange also that Barca allowed him to go, you would think they could do with keeping him.

Not sure but only time will tell whether it was a good decision not to buy.

Arsenal may have a glut of good midfielders but Cesc is a world class midfielder. Lunacy from Wenger not to bring him back, but then sadly that's all I now expect of the man.
