Cesc in tears over Barca

[Rudo]

Is Fabregas being loyal, or just accepting that there's nothing he can do if Arsenal refuse to sell him?

Maybe a bit of both.

He does appear to have a bit of respect and class the going by the way he conducted himself in this whole saga.

Didn't go mouthing off the press every 5 minutes like a big girls blouse saying i want to go to Barca, whah whah whah.

It was more the people around him over this summer that were doing the talking for him...imo they behaved disgracefully.

I've no doubt he would loved to have been a Barca player for this season but he's 23 or 24...he'll have opportunities to join them in the future. Next season most likely.

Arsenal are quite good at signing up young talented players .. I know if I was in the game and talented, if all of the top european clubs came in for me (in my head) I would pick Arsenal everytime ... Wenger has this perception of giving young players a go, wither thats accurate or not is another matter

Aye. Wenger certainly has a nose for sniffing out young talent

Barcelona midfielder Xavi insists Cesc Fabregas's stay at Arsenal could only be temporary. The Gunners captain, subject to speculation regarding a move to the Nou Camp, revealed last week he would remain at the Emirates. Xavi said: "We've given up on the idea of him arriving now but maybe he'll come in January when Arsenal are out of the Premier League race. They can't just hold him against his will." LINK
