another arsenal summer heartbreaker

for the whole week, there's news about cesc fabregas leaving for barcelona.
it's nothing new to hear an arsenal player going to barca, think overmars, van bronckhorst, petit, hleb, henry, and the list goes on.

for those who need history lesson, cesc was bought to arsenal from barcelona instead back in 2003 when he was 16 (born in 1987, same age as me.) every fan watched him grow and develop to become the heartbeat of current arsenal. but everyone knows he'll one day leave and return to camp nou, but maybe it's sooner than most people expect. every season, there will be news about barcelona wants their boy back, but just never happened.

but now, it seems like it's likely to come true, after what was reported as an "emotional meeting" with arsene wenger. again, the key player of the team to leave in the summer? captain, talisman, heartbeat, whatever you want to call fabulous fabregas, is leaving after signing a long never-been-more-expensive contract with arsenal? many fans feel cheated. i'll say it is as expected that he will leave, though i am expecting it'll be next summer. but still this will break my heart to see him leave. no one can blame him, arsenal is going backwards and barcelona is the best team in the world. his former team mates and childhood friends have been winning silverware every season, but arsenal wins nothing. so it is stay and be a legend, or leave to win titles.

with all sort speculation, there is still no news of advance negotiation or confirmation. when such news appear, fabregas will always step up and claim those are rubbish and he's loyal to arsenal. or wenger will just deny such trash. but none spoke this time, but maybe no news is good news? it does no one any good to keep an unhappy player, so lets just farm a good deal out of it.


kiss goodbye?
