Cesc Fabregas the Phenom Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Is £21m silly money for a player we signed for £3.5m 2.5 years ago. I'd go with a yes. He's got a hell of a lot of learning to do and other fans/clubs won't be as tolerant as us. I suppose he could score 6 goals against Getafe or Osasuna to bulk his tally, like he did with Derby here. Hate for him to go but I'll be cheesed off if he does, as it'll be because he wants to leave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin Connolly Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Was it really that little? I can't remember... Anything above £20 mill is enough for any of our players, in all honesty.

We have to be tolerant, he's young and is nowhere the player he can become. He goes missing too often, misses far too many chances. Something if his progress is anything to go by, he can improve on that at least. Tolerance and patience for me go hand in hand here. We have to tolerate his complete ineptitude at times but we have the patience knowing he can become quite fb. It's amazing how workrate and adding a different dimension to our game makes him some kind of superstar-irreplaceable. Give him 2-3 years of banging in 30 goals a season and yeah, then we'll go for a pint in Islington and discuss how no money can replace him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
goon Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 There were plenty tbh. Although it was a little unfair on him considering he had to play up top on his own which means when he doesnt play well he'll get a lot more flack than he deserves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point, hard enough playing up top alone when your still learning your trade and all the pressure in on you to score coz your mates can't shoot (won't shoot), have half a foot or are made of balsa.

Since joining Arsenal from AS Cannes in August 2003, Clichy (22), has become a first team regular, and has now made 146 appearances for the Club. Left back Clichy, who became the youngest ever winner of a Premier League champion’s medal in 2004, made the most Arsenal first team appearances of any player in the 2007/08 season, featuring in 49 of the Club’s 58 matches in all competitions. Gael’s performances last season also earned him great acknowledgement from his fellow professionals, as he was voted into the PFA Team of the Year. Everyone at the Club is looking forward to Gael’s continued contribution in the forthcoming years. Mon Ade doing the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly Damp Shrew Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Scoring 30 goals can forgive a lot of poor performances, however that's not what I'm suggesting. I'm saying that playing as a lone striker (a position that he's not suited to and which Wenger even came out and said he regrets being forced to do it because it does him no favours, and isolates him, sacrificing his performances for the good of the team) and still managing to score better than a goal every 2 games, is something only very players in the world can do. Scouts at Milan and Barcelona (and here for that matter) aren't known for being mugs, especially when it comes to attackers. If they think he's good enough to put so much effort into signing then he is. And is worth just as much effort to try and keep. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
