The deal could be great for us because we have some extremely talented youngsters in our lineup, especially Gnarby. So I am hoping we can work something out with them.
Honestly, stuff Fabregas, I would rather us throw the cheque book at Isco to get him to come. Use Monreal, Cazorla, Arteta and Fabregas to get into his ear to join us. Cesc made his decision and while I loved what he done for us he was kinda disrespectful to us in the last 6mths and clearly wanted to go so he can now make it work. Hopefully now he realizes what he had at Arsenal before he threw it away. Same with Alex Song, no coming back now they made the decision to join Barcelona and now both their careers have suffered for it.
Cesc was probably, along with Iniesta, the most creative midfielder in the game when he left us and now look at him? You look at what Song done last season and compare him to this season? It's amazing it's taken this long for Messi to pull his hamstring because with so many Barca lips attached to his ass it must get kinda heavy after a while.
And Damn it. Betis only drew. What are the Europa qualification spots for Spain?
Most of those talented youngsters will probably not get a chance to play in the first team anyway as we've rather buy players who've proven themselves. Might as well send them out to other big leagues and let them get that experience. A few years later and who knows what level these youngsters will be playing at.
Omg imagine Isco at the team. Monreal, Isco and Cazorla....so good. We should buy Willy as well (not Valdes), he's been amazing this season. If not Willy then Lopez if Madrid let go off him, Wenger pls. At the same time I would have liked Malaga to keep all these top players they sold. Seriously if they still played for Malaga then Malaga could have proven itself to be a great and strong club within a few years which would certainly be a good thing for La Liga. Bit of a shame really. Not going to say no to quality players from Malaga but not going to be angry either if they keep them
Cesc and Song really wasted their career. Cesc would have had so much more respect at Arsenal and most of all he would be playing regularly and be a central part of the team. I know it's really tempting to join a big club like Barcelona but damn if that didn't hurt. Also like you mentioned his career (Song's too) really went down the drain, what a waste of football strength. I've only laughed at Song this season...I don't even know what the fuck he does for Barca :lol. FootballFan explain.
I think the Europa qualification in La Liga is this:
1-3: Direct entry to CL group stage
4: CL play-off round
5: EL play-off round
6: EL third qualifying round
7: Depends on Copa Del Rey. If winners of CDR have qualified for CL then spot goes to runner-up. If runner-up has qualified for CL as well it goes to the next highest ranked team which would be the 7th one
