Days before it happened, Cesc Fabregas announced his move to Chelsea by posting a photo of him holding a Chelsea shirt by himself in front of a mirror ("Congrats to myself"). Those days have passed but the little boy inside me still wants to share something with my fellow Gunners. So here I go.
Arsène chose not to bring back Cesc a few days before, and Cesc chose Chelsea as a club with hopes and ambition that matched his. Luckily, this time we didn't hear any “Little Boy” screaming in the papers.
This is the player we all loved to the roots - Mr Cesc Fabregas. I can still remember the faces at The Emirates after Cesc scored the penalty against Barça in a night which no Gunners will forget in a hurry. What happened to him? Why didn’t Arsène want him?
Cesc may be a great player when playing, but what if he is no loner guaranteed a starting place? We have seen enough of him at Barça and recently VDB knocked him off the training pitch. At Arsenal he is no longer guaranteed a starting place or the captaincy, and that's the first reason.
I would have been happy if Arsène bought him back, but am happier now. Arsenal is not a place where you go and come back when you wish. This a club with pride and passion. Our supporters are classy and brave enough; we struggled for years without a trophy but we are still the Arsenal.
Cesc took a pay cut to go to Barça claiming "Barça is my home". Now what? Home isn’t sweeter any more? José was your enemy till the day before you talked to him. A man with no pride and value like you is not eligible to play in red and white.
If you loved Arsenal to the core, and if Arsène told you not to come back, why Chelsea? You could have gone to PSG, Juventus or even Atletico. The reason may be that your wife wanted to be in the UK. Haha; your wife didn't make you the player you are. She came after we made you a star. We don't need a boy who makes his decisions after asking his girlfriend because, we are the Arsenal.
I’m glad that you and RvP are not in the book of legends at Arsenal. You don't even posses the passion of Tony Adams’ boots. You can fill the void left by Mata behind José's technical area. We wished you the very best when you went Barça. But don't expect the cheers that you used to get when entering the E******s pitch.
Cesc, you never wanted to share the struggle we had, so don't expect us to share when you are having one. And look at you - what a mess you have made out of yourself.
