In the world of the premier league, we have been hearing about one thing for the last 24 hours. No, it's not Ben Foster's move from Man. Utd, it is the fact Cesc Fabregas has asked Arsene Wenger for a transfer from Arsenal to Barcelona.
Now, we all knew that this was going to happen eventually, Barcelona was Fabregas' original club, Barcelona is his home town and he has openly spoke about how he will one day play for Barca at some stage in his career. It was going to happen, it's just nobody thought it would be as soon as it was and as I glance over the Barcalona squad, I now realised what an amazing signing he will be for them. He will make that midfield a force to be reckoned with.
We all know the famous 4-3-3 formation of Barcelona, the centre midfield taking the defensive role, normally, taken by Busquets with Seydou Keita covering on the bench and the 2 other wider midfielders going more forward, taking on this dual attacking midfielder role which has been filled by Xavi and Iniesta for the last 2 seasons and, if you look at the squad, there is not much cover for either of these players, that seriously showed against Inter in my opinion with Iniesta out. Yaya Toure who is a natural defensive player or someone like Messi dropping back from a forward position, they need cover. Now, I am not for a second saying that Fabragas would be just cover for Xavi and Iniesta but if you rotate the three players and to always have that option on the bench. Amazing! They will be quality.
On to Arsene Wenger. This could not be more of a nightmare for the Frenchman. He has basically built that team around the cunt. Not only does he have to think big in the goalkeeper and defensive department this summer but he, now, has a leading playmaker to think about as well and a fucking captain. It is not looking good at all. But, you know what, there is a way out if this and it is very simple. What every Arsenal fan I know has been saying for the last 2 seasons - 'Wenger, to open your fuckin cheque book,' and you know what, he hasn't got much choice now. What a start to the summer. I can't wait to see who get buys.
Maybe Van Der Vaart from Real Madrid, he only played 20 games and he might be a bit pissed off, see how he gets on in the World Cup for Holland or Stephen Ireland, we all know how good he can be and he is gagging to move. Arteta would be also a sweet signing or, the coming of age, Charles N'Zogbia who basically ran the Wigan team out of relegation this season.
Should be interesting
