my beef is morons (mostly akbs, and i imagine all akbs will be doing this) calling cesc a *word censored*.

my beef with topgoon here is him saying people shouldnt be bothered and taing pops at the club as cesc is yesterdays man. and yet he himself keeps posting this point on cesc threads, so is thus by proxy banging on about cesc.

that is all.
I'm not an AKB by any sense of the word but I am calling Cesc a *word censored*.

No one made him sign for Chelsea for whatever reason we said no for. There are a number of possibilities as to why we said no, one being he pissed a lot of people off at Arsenal for the way he forced a move to Barca. I'm not saying that's why we said no but its possible. As to why we said no is irrelevant, you do NOT make statements like he did then join the chav scum and not expect being called a hypocritical scumbag.

You may choose not to feel the same way and you do so because that is your free, fundamental right but who are you to insult others for having a different opinion to your own?

I'm not an AKB, I'm not aware of all the facts but I accept that there are all sorts of possibilities as to why Arsenal said no and I personally feel Cesc is a typical modern day mercenary scumbag because of his conduct and then his devout undying commitment which has now conveniently gone out the window because we wouldn't have him back after he screwed us to go to Barca. I'm entitled to that opinion. I guess that makes me a moron because you don't feel the same?
he didnt screw us. he spent years carrying us. he left for his team. the best team in the world at that time. he owed us nothing. why we expect top class players to waste their careers under the latter day wenger is beyond me. why begrudge him the chance to win trophies at the club he supported as a kid rather than stay and chase 4th at arsenal for ever more?

realistically he was forced out of chelsea, and when we turned him down he had little choice.
I don't begrudge anyone anything they don't earn. Cesc was a very good player for us but he forced the move, he was club captain and he could of been much more diplomatic about it.

He wasn't forced to go to Chelsea at all, he stated he had other offers, if you didn't have any you wouldn't mention it . Furthermore, he could of actually stuck to his guns and fought for his place at his boyhood club. A club he spent so hard to move to. That's what I would do. Earn my place, earn the respect etc. It wasn't a case of its Chelsea or retire.

Anyway, regardless of how you or I feel about Cesc I still want to know why any negative opinion of Cesc is considered moronic?

Agreed. I know people got pissed off with him leaving, to me it was understandable but could probably have been handled better...and once we've turned down re signing him he doesn't owe us anything and is entitled to do what's best for him, his family and his career.

Dearie me where to begin, didn't call him a :censored: , if you can find where I did you sir will get a star,not an AKB, if you read even a tiny portion of what I write you'd know that. When did I call Fabregas yesterday's man.

My point remains, stop crying he's gone Get.Over.It Seriously read before getting your frilly knickers in a twist. I clearly said wait till August 31st before you get bothered and still only if we don't sign what we NEED.

AKB's have a different opinion from you do that makes them morons :rubchin:

We didn't buy him, someone else did. I am not arguing the toss with you anymore about it because quite frankly it's all a bit sad. I neither love nor hate Fabregas. He is a player for another team. Good luck and god bless.

I will stop 'banging on' about Fabregas....that's his name Fabregas. He is a Chelsea FC player. Or do we start calling vibrating phone lover ash now :oops:

Assuming that wasn't meant for me otherwise I'm confused as my whole post was directed at Mantis.

If you bothered reading his statement you'll notice that he said he had other offers but picked the fucking chav scum.

As for Barcelona being 'his team'.......why on god's green earth did he leave his beloved team to join us in the first place then? And why did he leave them now to join a club managed by Mourinho (a man hated by everyone connected to Barcelona - 'his team')?

3 more years of this depressing bollocks. Is it really so much to ask for a summer where we actually strengthen all of the positions required?

I've given up, we got the FA Cup and that is as good as it gets.

Chelsea signed in two windows, Matic, Cesc and Costa.

3 players that we easily could have done with. Cost money, but that's quality.

Bargain basement for us again.

But but, if we signed Matic everyone on here would've been up in arms because he failed with the chavs when he was younger, just like they would be if we sign Vela (because obviously young players don't improve).

I'd personally let the transfer deadline finish before spouting endless amount of bollox, this transfer shit is no different to 2005, 2006,2007,2008,2009,2010,2011,2012,2013

What makes people think 2014 will be any different??

We will buy an average player or 2 and possibly 1 top player. That top player will be played out of position and the other 2 will do whatever for a few years, we will have a great start to season , everyone tossing off to only end up throwing everything and the kitchen sink out the pram at the end.

Only one thing will remain the same - 2015!
