Carles Puyol may get to touch his nose a lot more next season
Despite all the talk of Arsenal’s ‘impotence‘ and constant referrals to his desire to return to Barcelona, The Spoiler believed Cesc Fabregas was destined to stay at Arsenal for at least another season. This confidence, however, has been shaken by a story in this morning’s Sun, which claims the north London side have set a £40m price tag for their captain:
A Gunners insider said: “Nobody at Arsenal wants to see Fabregas go but there comes a point when the money is too good to turn down.
“If Arsenal receive a bid in the region of £40m there will be an enormous pressure to sell.”
After signalling their intention to make a bid, Joan Laporta’s Barcelona are favourites to land the young Spaniard. Yet if Real Madrid can scoop some more cash out of their bottomless pit, there’s every chance he could join Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka and the kitchen sink at the Bernabeu.
So, do you think Cesc will leave the Premiership this summer? Let us know your thoughts below…

So…you’re falling for this too, huh? The constant stream of crap that comes from Kastrinakis at The Sun is enough to fertilize the Tigris River valley.
You really should put some kind of disclaimer on these articles to warn Arsenal supporters that’s it’s nothing more than a poor attempt at humor.
Something like this ought to suffice:
“It is the sole purpose of The Sun, its staff writers (especially Anthony Kastrinakis) and employees to make every effort in order to foment discord and unrest among Arsenal supporters; To take every opportunity to link, without confirmation, a rotating list of Arsenal players with other teams in Europe or the EPL; To work ’round the clock to imply such a sense of disharmony between Cesc Fabregas and the Club so as to force him to leave The Arsenal simply to halt our production of said articles; And finally, we are obliged that all articles pertaining to Arsene Wenger, The Arsenal’s finances and any other aspects of The Club are presented as negatively as possible. Thank you, The Sun management.”

Are you seriously suggesting that a tabloid newspaper would lie and make up an ‘insider’ source, TheSKAGooner? Next you’ll be telling us that Bruno isn’t a real fashion journalist….
We know the Sun aren’t going to win any truth telling contests in the near future, we are merely reporting their claims.

Oh god not this again?!? Every bloody week The Sun gets bored and decides to fill its pages with this rubbish and will keeping do so until Cesc comes out for the 40th time this summer and says ‘no - it isn’t true’….then they’ll forget about it for another 48 hours and make up some ‘insider’ source to start it all off again. Why are people this stupid??

Yes, according to that font of truth The Sun. I’d rather believe the tea leaves.

Yawnnnnnn! It seems the sun is walking around with their fingers in their ears singing, ‘LA LA LA LA, i can’t hear it, LA LA LA LA’ everytime cesc comes out to bust these scurrilous attempts to unsettle a relationship between player and club.
The Sun, the hack who puts his name to said article, and Barcelona can all go swing as far as i’m concerned. That is where this all coming from, direct from Juan Laporta’s desk. Barca back at it again, using the press to unsettle a player. I’m sick and and i am tired of the bahviour of madrid and barca. They call themselves ‘Great clubs’……., all i can see is a baseless, moral-less empty shell, goverened by sewer rats. These two clubs are a law onto themselves, certainly FIFA nor UEFA will ever intervene, after all it falls outside their jurisidiction of trying to hammer the english club, any english club.
And as for ‘wayne’ he’s a chav who should take more responsibility in his life, no doubt i’ll be paying for his kid to be raised through my taxes. Get a job, use a condom you chav!

A few days ago Cesc said to the Spanish press he’s going to stay in Arsenal, and I think he’s going to be at the Premier at least another year.
I’m a Barcelona’s fan since I was born and I would be very happy if Fàbregas decide to return home, but everbody knows it won’t happen this year. So cut off with this “never-ending” story.
