Cesc Fabregas

How reliable are the feigning injury rumours though? We know he ruined his hamstrings with us

Why shouldn’t he socialise with lads he grew up with when injured and on international duty? I mean I know football is tribal but if he is injured what can he do? Imagine a mate you grew up with coming to chat to you and saying: ‘Yea I know we were mates growing up but fuck off because we’re playing for different clubs now’.

I think the real reason for the Fabregas hostility is because we knew full well we were half the team once he left. And at the start of 11/12 we really were. We know both he and Nasri left because we were a sinking ship. Fans are essentially shifting that blame from the powers in charge of the club to a player or 2.

Does anyone here really hate Overmars and Petit? No because we got Pires, Silva and Edu. If we got Suarez, Higuan, Mata and Hazard after RVP and Fabregas left less fucks would have been given.
