Barcelona go official denying pursuit of Arsenal ace Cesc

To be absolutely honest, they're fast becoming like their own rivals, Real Madrid. Enough said

I used to 've respect on this club(Barca) but it appears they are fastly eroding the reputations they built. It is beta that they denied the rumour. To u all Fab is not 4 sale. GUNNERS 4 LIFE

The blame lies solely on Mr Arsenal himself ..Mr Arsene Wenger had many chances to rectify the problem at Arsenal but chooses to do nothing. Barcelona would not have succeeded in bringing Fab to Nou Camp if Wenger had played his cards right. Now..it seems...once again the owners of arsenal will reap the benefit of the fallout by cashing in on their most valuable player. This is very disgusting.

I really pity the gunners fans...but it's all over for you and cesc...he's going for sure. Wenger must surely take some of the blame. Even Arsenal fans cannot fathom why Arsenal will not buy, will not bulk up the physical presence, will not sign a striker to boost their title challenge. You have a good squad, and you are very close to championship material..but your stubborn manager is too blind or too skint to do anything. The fall of Arsenal is complete when your best player leave and who can blame him. Arsenal has no ambition, and no top player can take this nonsense.

***** you barcelona. You people always destroy arsenal future by taking the only key players in arsenal. You people are standing in a very good position with lots of stars and arsenal are struggling. I hate you barca!

and now arsenal fans hate you barcelona. barcelona are a club full of hypocrites

Rageaholic - you're right they use the press to wind up clubs and
players, deny it and then step in when they are unsettled.
I haven't seen Enlgish clubs behave like that, I wonder if that is
because they are better behaved or just haven't got the business
edge for such practises.

Except of course just like real madrid they use the press to say what they want and maintain deniability.
