'I considered all other offers carefully'

He said that we turned him down.

his father rejected him, the unwanted oprphan ends up at chelsea where he may win trophies.

Yes, but to go back to the PL to our rivals is like spitting in our face.

Don't get my wrong Wenger has a lot to answer for too, but for me this is a footballing equivalent of when Campbell left Spurs to join us.

Maybe both Arsenal and Barcelona rejecting him was like spitting in his face?

How is it? If you offered to have him back he would have signed.

You didn't. You made it clear that players like Ramsey, Wilshere, Cazorla Diaby and Arteta are better than him.

It's probably more akin to Owen joining Man U, however, Fabregas is at the peak of his powers which is probably a major difference.

Not in the same ballpark pal

Free transfer
Wound down his contract
Rivalry somewhat bigger
Direct transfer

We are not morally obliged to sign him, yet he is not morally obliged to sign for Chelsea, if he meant the things he said about Arsenal he wouldn't have done what he did!

He goes wherever he wanted, the way he left arsenal proves he doesn't care about the club, not that it is a surprise

Hampstead eh? D'you get to live there by turning down good offers?
