we handed utd 9 pts when we sold them RVP.
we've just handed Chelsea 9pts having let them bid freely for Cesc.

Cesc Fabregas: Arsenal not pursuing Barcelona midfielder

By David Ornstein
BBC Sport
Arsenal have informed Barcelona they will not be exercising a buy-back option on former player Cesc Fabregas.
The Gunners inserted the clause when selling Fabregas to Barcelona for £35m in 2011 and were given first refusal after Barca decided he could leave.
It is understood Fabregas, 27, was keen to return to Arsenal but manager Arsene Wenger is not looking to recruit a creative midfielder.
The decision raises the prospect of the player joining one of Arsenal's rivals.
Mesut Ozil arrived at Arsenal from Real Madrid last summer for a club-record £42.4m on a five-year contract, while the likes of Aaron Ramsey, Santi Cazorla, Jack Wilshere, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Tomas Rosicky are all part of Wenger's plans.
Cesc Fabregas factfile
Born Spain, May, 1987
Joined Arsenal from Barcelona aged 15
Scored 59 goals in 305 games for the Gunners
Scored 35 goals in 129 appearances for Barcelona
Has won La Liga and Copa del Rey
Arsenal's priority is to bring in a striker to compete with Olivier Giroud and a right-back to replace Bacary Sagna, with goalkeeping cover also needed after the exit of Lukasz Fabianski.
They may also look to sign a defensive midfielder if the right deal is available but their stance over Fabregas, who is available for £30m, means he is now open to the market.
The Spaniard, who started his career at Barcelona and still has two years of his existing contract to run, has been linked with Chelsea following the departure of Frank Lampard and his future is expected to be decided in the next two or three weeks.
On Thursday, his international team-mate Gerard Pique was caught on camera apparently telling Spain coach Vicente del Bosque that 'he [Fabregas] told me that it is already done, he is leaving already, 33m euros he said', but the pair are thought to have been joking.
Fabregas was the subject of two unsuccessful bids from Manchester United last summer and told BBC Sport in February he was "flattered" by their interest.

Well done Fabregas , bleat like fxxk to go to your beloved club and two years later they blow you out and you go to Chelsea , Ok the decision might have been taken out of his hands but him and the biggest Judas should have stayed here.

Costa and Fabregas , easy to finish above chelsea then

Did I miss something? Has he signed for Chelsea?

I don't get the anger towards him. I reckon most players would push pretty hard to go the hometown club who were at the time the best team in the world, I certainly would if I was a player at another club and Arsenal wanted to sign me. Now they want rid of him, we don't want him and people want to slaughter him for considering other English clubs. I'll be gutted if he ends up there but if you were him now, what would you do? He isn't going to go to Madrid and it seems City don't want him so in England the only three possibilities are Chelsea, Man U and Liverpool, all of whom would be considered rivals. The only other option might be Bayern, but again who knows if they want him.

I can understand some bitterness at the way he left and smugness that things haven't worked out but having a go at him because we don't want him? Especially given that these are typical English media rumours at this stage. But if as it seems his choice will be between United and Chelsea do people expect him to come out and refuse to move from Barcelona who are alienating him?

That's what we need, another fat Brazilian that can't live up to the hype.

Yeah I don't get why some gooners are bitter about this. He wanted to come back to us, players have left and come back in the past (martin keown and of course flamini) so its not setting any precedence. If anything the club should take the wrath for allowing him to go to Chelsea, not Cesc.

Moaninho will stifle the creative side of Cesc's play mind, and we all know what happens to attacking midfielders that don't follow orders.

You can't help feeling there are not a lot of options for him.

With regards to our club, so much for kicking on, looks like another summer of spin with last minute panic buys. Still with the cup win, not feeling pissed off for three weeks about the club is good I guess.

This is apparently rubbish. It was originally published by some guy pretending to represent NBC, but he's been outed as a fraud.

"We'll need a goalkeeper, a right back, a midfielder and a striker," Koscielny said... "Having a striker who scores more than 30 goals a season can help us win the Premier League."

Well Kos is clued up! So why can't Wenger see the light??

TH14 pushed for a transfer to barca for the whole 2005/2006 season and then did a U-turn after the champs league final cos of some sort of feeling of injustice A few months into the following season he decided that he had made a mistake staying with us and then spent the remainder of that season organising the transfer to barca. So despite spending a season and a half trying to get a transfer to barca, the vast majority of Gooners practically wanked themselves to death when he re-joined us as a 35 YEAR OLD Contrast that to the reaction that cesc is getting now from many Gooners - he left us to return to his boyhood club and to play in what is probably the best club side ever, but now he is regarded as a judas despite the fact that he wants to return to us again in what is HIS PEAK YEARS We would not be signing a player for sentimental reasons......we would be signing one of THE best midfielders in the world and would be getting the peak years of his career - it should be a no brainer even ignoring the threat of him joining the chavs
