The CRAZIEST and most DRAINING transfer saga: Fabregas to FC Barcelona

Рет қаралды 67,967

Күн бұрын

Three years of courting, public statements of intent, and accusations of “tapping up” ended with Cesc Fabregas finally joining FC Barcelona in 2011. Having gone through La Masia with FC Barcelona and having grown up as a supporter of the club, the yearning to return to Barcelona and their super team was understandable. However, the way that Barcelona went about their pursuit of Fabregas was out of this world: constant quotes from players such as Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, Puyol and Pique; constant quotes from Laporta and Sandro Rosell. It was perhaps the most public pursuit ever, with Barcelona not trying to hide their intentions at all, or that they had been in contact with the player when they didn’t have permission to be.
Then, of course, there was the 2010 FIFA World Cup and the Barcelona shirt incident, as some of the FC Barcelona contingent forced a Barça kit onto Fabregas during the celebrations. This was a wild time, and Arsenal fans would have been happy it finally ended when it did (despite losing a great talent).

Fabregas was superb, but it feels like he underachieved a lot. He was a top Premier League player as a teenager, had this huge transfer to Barcelona, ready to become their next great midfielder, then, yeah, he suddenly joined Chelsea, had one last top season there and left top teams pretty early. He was barely 30 when he started to decline. While guys like Modric are not the norm, Xavi and Iniesta were still playing at the highest level when Fabregas was leaving the PL for the second time. Fabregas is 36 and hasn't played top football (Ligue 1 included) for what? 2 years? He was great, but he could've been more.

One of the reasons why Arsenal fans hate Barcelona. We all knew he was gonna end up there at some point - but the lack of respect shown by the entire Spanish club ultimately caused Fabregas to go on strike and forced Arsenal to accept a lower bid. It was also at a time when they ware buying a lot of Arsenal's standout players, like Hleb and Song. This tactic has also become a standard way of doing business for Barcelona: "we don't have the money/don't want to spend much but we still will let everyone know that we want a certain player".

@progerrard 10 ай бұрын

Can't blame them for it though. It's not their fault that they were successful and had plenty of pulling power. They didn't need to pay the full price of the asking clubs because they made the player want the move as well. Especially when the club in question is one with limited success at that time like Arsenal

This Fabregas saga was heart breaking. He was my favourite player growing up, the pedestal we put him on post invincibles was almost to the level of Thierry’s and he showed no reciprocal love or respect for Wenger or the Arsenal fans who adored him.

@gentleken7864 9 ай бұрын

If Fabregas had gone for 60+ million or so, then I'd have been fine with it. He was an equal to Ronaldo at one point based on goals and assists, and you see how much Ronaldo was sold for. But the constant tapping up by his teammates talking about Barca DNA turned his head and he got his move, on the cheap.

Only been in top four 3 times in the last decade. Thats much more of a decline, if you ask me

Depressing stuff, but we as a club are moving in a direction now where we don't have to sell our best players to suit our financial needs because they are being openly "tapped up" by other teams.

Plus why are you acting like Arsenal didn’t qualify for the Champions league every season from 1998-2016? The last few years are an anomaly because of years of mismanagement. Despite this Arsenal are still in the top 10 for wins in the competition and made it past the first group stage in every season after 1999-2000, the club lacked complete success in the competition because Wenger would rather play the right way rather than adopt a more pragmatic style that has more consistent success in Europe hence why the only time Arsenal made the final was the only time Wenger used a more pragmatic style out of necessity because of injuries which lead to 10 consecutive clean sheets in the competition which is still a record to this date.

Definitely one of the most messy transfer saga ever. Fabregas was a baller at Arsenal and captain despite Arsenal went through mediocrity and disillusionment. I enjoyed watching Fabregas at Arsenal and he's one of those players I would sign up when playing Fifa when I was a teenager when doing a Barcelona career mode. In 2011 Fabregas got his dream move to Barcelona however joined at the wrong time and failed to be a starter. 3 years later he tried to return to Arsenal but Wenger refused since Arsenal still had Özil and Cazorla then and had to join Chelsea and won two Premier League titles. Moral of the story, it's not always greener on the other side for players when wanting to join a dream club. Ask Fabregas, Sancho and Pepe.

I wholeheartedly despise Xavi to the core. FCB had no reason nor need of someone like Fabregas, and Xavi himself wasn't retiring anytime soon but he said all the ridiculous accusations against Arsenal. What Fabregas did during that time left no room to be an Arsenal legend, not that that's something really matters to him. He just wants trophies to vindicate himself. He did won some titles at FCB, although he never established himself among the very core to that team, and Xavi never wanted to relinquish his place to Cesc. Now that Fabregas retires and I really wonder which team football fans can associate him with, and whether he would be regarded as one of the very best midfielders in that generation. However, in retrospect, Arsenal was not going well both on the pitch and in the transfer market, which gave Fabregas and other standout players realistic hope that they would win major trophies. Arsenal was in their stadium debt and Wenger was always replacing star players with cheap inferior ones like Song, Eboue, Danilson, and Chamakh. If I were Fabregas or RVP I'd also be impatient as players careers are short.

@@eL--RaL I don't care how many titles FCB won because they've shamed themselves. Their winning history is forever tarnished with referee bribing scandals and financial failures. You're addicted to chase success but your future is owned by financial institutions. And guess what Xavi doesn't care about you too no matter how hard you defend him by attacking ppl on a personal level. They just want you to continue lowering your moral standards and keep licking their trophies.

And now Fabregas isn't respected at Arsenal, is a nobody even in that one generation of Barcelona's and isn't that big of a deal for Chelsea either. It was a childish move done the wrong way and leading to nothing good. Could've been the Tony Adams of midfielders in Arsenal. Now he has no true legacy fitting of his talent anywhere!

He came to Barcelona for nothing. He could’ve stayed at Arsenal and be a Legend. He was nothing but a glorified sub at Barcelona and it costed him the rest of his career.

You drill down on Barcelona and you can easily start to dislike them. I really wish Sociedad could win the league now! I remember elements of this, but didn't realize the level of "tapping up' or "tampering" as it would be called in North America. There really should be have been huge fines. It's interesting that his Barca career ended up being short, and while he was very good there, did not become the player he was expected to become (though he was a part of the 2011 CL win). His career rather peaked at Arsenal in fact. Then going to career-killing Chelsea.

I would say that karma had its way, Cesc and Guardiola ended up on terrible terms, with Pep refusing to shake his hand in a match. Pep ended up resigning, one of the reasons other than hating Rosell is that he had "a mole" in his team, suspected to be Fabregas. So Barca ends up losing their best manager and Cesc never won a UCL. Also terrible for Arsenal as it started a trend of the club being seen a "selling" club and lead an exodus towards other clubs. A lesson in mismanagement.
