My Take on the Fabregas Tranfer Saga and How Fabregas could be a man who shaped our club!

Warning: Extreme Optimism coming your way. Do not attempt to read, if can't take it.

First, let me get some things cleared up.

1. Fabregas loves Barcelona.
2. Fabregas loves Arsenal, Arsenal Fans and respects Mr.Wenger.
3. It was his childhood dream to play for Barcelona shirt.
4. Barcelona may be the club that taught the basics of football to Cesc, but, its Arsenal who made him a star that he is now, at this age of 23.
5. Wilt all the talk from Barca, he was hopeful that a deal might be struck between the two parties. He has great respect for both clubs, that is the reason why he did not make any comments about the situation in the media. Being a true professional, he decided to wait and see.
6. Barca weren't able to negotiate a deal with Arsenal.
7. Cesc knew that a deal cannot be completed because of the financial situations at both clubs and the tactics that Barca used to persuade Arsenal to sell.
8. He released a statement saying that he is focused on the coming season for Arsenal.

Now, initially I was glad that Cesc had decided to stay. How long? It doesn't matter. A player of that qwality will definitely make a difference on the pitch, no matter the circumstances. We, Arsenal fans have clearly seen that when he was injured after the Barca game at the Emiates.

My whole thought process is useless if Arsenal don't genuinely challenge for honors in major competitions. If we do and perhaps win a title(except the Carling Cup), then I think that Fabregas may be convinced to stay. He is driven by success and if we can show that we can win some trophies, I think he will be happy to stay.

Arsenal have been gaining a reputation as a selling club in recent past. The debt for the construction of the stadium is a factor. Now that the clubs finances are looking up, there is no reason to sell our best players. But, our manager needs to show that in the transfer market by starting to get world class talent into the club. I think the whole Fabregas saga might have an effect on how the club performs in the near future. If we maintain our stance in this issue, it will be an indicator to other clubs that we cannot be bullied into selling our top performers. Furthermore, if we can please Fabregas by bringing in a couple of top quality players, we will be more of a super power than a selling club.

So, that's how I think this whole Fabregas transfer saga can effect our club in a positive way. If you are one of the pessimists, there are plenty of Arsenal blogs out there covering the case in a negative(or as some opposition fans call it, realistic) manner.

Come on you, Gunners!

Going to get a lot tougher

Well, what can you say? Life is tough and you have to deal with it. I am almost at the end of completing an internship, during which i have put aside my hobbies (mostly because of my laziness and because it is difficult to find people who share my interests at the place where i work). I have had some tough times recently. The work that I've been given is not that challenging, but, frustrating. There are no openings here. And, I know that there is a high probability that I may have been placed by now if i hadn't meddled with the PS station preference order given to me by KPK.

Then there is Cesc Fabregas, whom i adore. The arsenal captain. He feels that he needs to go out to Barca. I respect Barca for the way they play football but, the way they tried to tap up Fabregas and drive down the price was absolutely disgusting. Atleast, Real Madrid pay for what the player is worth. (OK OK, they pay more than his worth).

It has been quite some time since my parents shifted to a somewhat rural part of Vijayawada. I would like to call it a suburb. But, I cannot. There is no broadband, because, there are only a few houses in the colony. An apartment is being built. A hospital and an educational institution are also under construction nearby. I would have to wait for some more time before the cable operator feels its feasible for him to provide internet in the colony.

"I am very thankful to my parents for their support through these hard times. They are being patient and I wish to re pay their faith."

On a lighter note, the above sentence might be familiar if you are a football fan. Most footballers say it, referring to their manger and fans. Speaking about football, we are about 8 days away from the world cup. And I'm one day away from being able to set up my team in the official FIFA World Cup fantasy game. Do join up, if you like fantasy sports.

Ooooh, thats a lot of gold!

I would have supported Spain for this years' world cup but, then I realized that it is only when Fabregas goes to Spain that all kinds of crap floats around in the papers. So, fu*k off Spain. There are only a very few teams in the world that have as much popularity as the Brazilian football team do. They are one of the favourites for the trophy, and I'll be watching them closely. Another team that I like to watch is the Netherlands. I hope they achieve success in this tournament. I do not believe Italy, France, Portugal and England can win it this time, but you never know. "You never know". What a phrase. You can predict whatever you want to and also be on the safe side.

Just had a quick look at the teams again and here is my final prediction.

Winners: BRAZIL
Possible Winners: ARGENTINA,NETHERLANDS,SPAIN

Well that is all for now. I will share my views on the tournament, when it actually kicks off. Till then, have a great time.
