Bollocks About Cesc and More

So the Cesc Fabregas rumors have started up yet again. It seems like we just got done with summer transfer season and now Barca are once again going after our young Spaniard. Cesc's agent has done quite a job of letting Barca know that Cesc might be interested in a way that doesn't get anyone into trouble. As we know from the Cashley Cunt case, you are not allowed to talk directly to a player while he is under contract with another club, but Cesc's agent decided to fuel the fire with this:

"Neither the player nor I have considered the news, really, and all we're thinking about is the match against Denmark. What will be, will be," Diaz told Radio Marca.

"But if we do hear of an offer from Barcelona, the club that taught him so much, then that would be a real compliment to Cesc."

Now this is obviously all horse piss because Barcelona didn't teach Cesc anything. We know that, Arsenal knows that, Barcelona knows that, and Cesc and his agent know that. He learned everything while he was at Arsenal, when he got into the first team like he never would have at Barca.

So now Barcelona have responded to this cuntery by Cesc's agent by saying they'd love to have Cesc but they don't want to pay big money. Ok then Barca, piss off then because you aren't going to get a Thierry Henry 16.1 million deal for him. Some twat that works for Barca named Txiki had this to say:

"He is a great player but the circumstances of his departure make things very difficult," Beguiristain told Avui.

"We cannot pay a great quantity for a homegrown player that decided to leave us.

"To start with he would have to show his desire to return."

That's the most ludicrous statement I've ever heard. Do they think because Cesc is from there that we'll just pitch him off there for 5 million pounds or something? We don't care where he's from, you aren't getting our little magician for cheap.

If these stories don't get you mad then I don't know what will. Once again Barcelona is using the press to talk to our players indirectly because they think they can do anything they want. It's bollocks and hopefully Cesc will honor his 10 year contract that he just signed last year.

So now that I've ranted on about that for a while it's time to talk about Jens Lehmann. He played for Germany this weekend which shows that he is fully fit and he's told the press that he expects Arsene to play him this weekend against Bolton. Now I really think Mad Jens has lost his mind and won't be playing much for Arsenal any longer. He's always been quite a nutter but he used to keep it mostly in his comments but this season in his two matches he had two quite easy plays turn into goals. I think Almunia will still be in the match against Bolton.

To add to the drama, the German National Team manager has added fuel to the fire by saying if Jens won't be first choice he needs to move in January. There have been reports that Man City will pay 1 million for him, and I say we take it. We can bring in another keeper if Wenger isn't happy with only Fabianski and Almunia and get rid of Jens. He is only causing problems by talking bad about Almunia every day and it may be time to see the back of him.

We've been linked with Sporting Lisbon centre mid Miguel Veloso while Gilberto Silva has been linked again with a move to Juventus.

Fran Merida spoke to Arsenal.com about how great it was to play for two minutes against the Newcastle first team. Surely it's all rubbish about him not being quick enough to play in the Premiership? I don't think Wenger would play him in the Carling Cup at age 17 if he didn't think he would ever make it.

That's about all I have today. Comment if you will. Later
