So i've had a few hours to have a think, and the way I work is heart over head, which gets me into trouble a lot of the time. I know that

a) Cesc left us when we needed him
b) We could have signed him, reportedly for 140k a week but he's got 200k at Chelsea

I can't help but feel even though we may have made the right decision, I feel sorry for Cesc. Why? Because he spent he early days at Barca, sold to Arsenal, spent 7 years at Arsenal and then home to Barca, only to be rejected again by them, and then to be rejected by us. Now he's signed fro Chelsea, a lot of fans hate him, and he has to cut ties with us as part of a PR front. He wanted Arsenal, a lot of the fans wanted him, and Arsenal decided no.

So my question is, if the fans wanted him, the fans pay the tickets, 27 million is 1/5 of the puma deal, the ticket prices rise, and we are ignored.

There is, whatever the details, something wrong with the way this sorry story has ended up, and I don't know if I can stomach 'we've got Cesc Fabregas' if Chelsea walk the title and smash us 6-0 again as Wenger smiles and counts the beans.

It does hurt, no denying it. This tranfer window needs to be justified with a large buy or it's a disaster all around.

We have Arteta, Diaby, and an aging Rosicky - 5 years of Cesc was not crazy for £27 million

Ozilbaggins. mate I couldn't have said it better myself. This nonsense has instantly reminded me of Wenger substituting Podolski for Sanogo after about 60 mins in the FA Cup final. Utter b*******! We will never win the league or champions league under Wenger that's the truth a cup maybe. but not the two that we covet. Sad times.

Sanogo was fantastic when he came on. Podol didn't turn up for the final

Sanogo made all the difference in the final, I doubt we would have won if he had kept Poldi on. He had a very poor game.
