Barca bid for Cesc

It emerged today that Barcelona have made their first bid for Fabregas a pathetic £27m which when you compare to the £31m they offered last year which we also turned down, is rather insulting to Arsenal, the fans and Cesc himself. The argument that they gave that over this season he's undergone "wear and tear" is complete bullshit. Thats simply Barcelona not wanting to pay top prices for top players. Claiming that a player who is 24 is suddenly worth less than when he was 23 is absolutely pathetic. I can imagine once they stated the offer our representative simply getting up and walking out. When they pay 40m euros for David Villa, they should be aware that we aren't letting Cesc go cheap.

Anyway rant over. So what else is on the grapevine? Well quite honestly nothing new. Apparently we are preparing a bid for Samba who has stated that he is open to a move, which I would welcome should it materialise. I think he's a strong, tall player who is what we need at the back. The other piece of old news once again links us with Cahill. Another play who I would welcome at the back as he clearly has talent. However not talent worth £17m.

I understand a lot of fans are getting impatient with Arsenal as we dont appear to be doing much, but apart from Manchester United who have signed Ashley Young (why?) not a lot of clubs are doing tonnes of business. I'm sure behind the scenes we are sorting things out, Arsenal have a habit of doing nothing, then out of the blue making a signing. I also see that we have apparently signed Ricardo Alvarez according to the Metro (about as reliable as the mirror). Hey even his Wikipedia page says he's an Arsenal player so it must be true!

Well should anything dramatic happen (not bloody likely) then I'll keep you posted but until next time enjoy the weather while you can!
