Firstly, thank you Cesc. What you have contributed to Arsenal in the time you have played for the Gunners has been invaluable. But I guess everybody has to move on. Cesc Fabgreas should be a Barcelona player by the weekend, after Arsenal have accepted Barcelona's bid, believed to be around 35 million.
This has arguably been the biggest transfer story in football since Cristiano Ronaldo, and it should all finally come to an end this weekend. Cesc Fabregas was clearly unhappy, and I said before in a previous post that Arsenal should just sell him. Get the money and reinvest it into several new players. The basic "money ball" approach, what Liverpool did with Fernando Torres.
Now, at least for me, comes the more worrying and frustrating part: Samir Nasri. If he leaves to Man City as expected for 25 million, it really will be a big blow. I felt that last season he was a key part of the team, more so than Fabregas. But again, he is clearly unhappy and I think that when that's the car, for the harmony of the squad, it's best just to let them go.
Nasri will I think be harder to replace than Fabregas, but I do believe it is possible. Jadson of Shakhtar has been linked to Arsenal, and I think they should spend half of the money from the Nasri and Fabregas deals to sign not one but two world class centre backs. Vermaelen is fairly injury prone, and Koscielny, who is a good player, is a bit irregular. As for Squillaci and Djourou, they should be back up.
