John Cross is up to his usual trick of forgetting things that he has put his name to in the Mirror this morning. Today his subject matter is Cesc Fabregas. Droning on about Cesc Fabregas needing now to show some loyalty to Arsenal after the summer saga with Barcelona, there’s plenty we could pick apart.
We could, [...]
It’s the story we just can’t stop from being forced down our throat get enough of this summer - Cesc Fabregas may leave Arsenal for Barcelona. John Cross, the man at the Mirror with all those Arsenal contacts, has unearthed more evidence of Fabregas’ disenchantment with things at the Emirates. Gather round, y’all:
Fabregas risks Wenger’s wrath [...]
We can accept the rumours that Robinho may want to move on from Manchester City, given that he headed home to Santos in January and seemed really quite happy not to be in Eastlands. We suppose it’s just about conceivable that Zlatan Ibrahimovic might leave Barcelona despite having had a pretty good season in which [...]
Despite being told that this year would not see another horde of Fabregas back to Spain transfer stories, this summer seems set to provide exactly that - and even more vociferously than in previous years, now that Cristiano Ronaldo can’t be the transfer rumour of the day, and Arsenal have gone another year without winning [...]
Thanks for this, John Cross. Thanks so much. This is what the Mirror brings you that no other newspapers in the world have bothered with:
Real Madrid planning record-breaking £120m bid for Lionel Messi - World Exclusive
We’ve often wondered if Leo Messi is the only player in world football who’s completely transfer rumour immune, but no, there it [...]
Thanks to one of our readers, Ron, we were alerted to a delightful story doing the rounds yesterday about Newcastle’s transfer plans for the summer. Barcelona may have conceded just 20 goals in 34 La Liga games this season, but it turns out that they would like to spruce up their back line with Newcastle’s [...]
So much for the chairman’s word being final. The Cesc Fabregas to Barcelona saga, now officially the most tedious transfer rumour in all football in the wake of Cristiano Ronaldo’s sale to Real Madrid, just won’t go away, and yesterday, it was Peter Hill-Wood’s turn to put his reputation on the line and say that [...]
Whilst many games that are talked up as potential classics fail to meet expectations, the first leg of Arsenal v Barcelona lwas certainly not one of them. Barcelona threatened to end the tie as a contest within 15 mins, Arsenal somehow held off until half time, then went twice behind before, against the odds launching [...]
The majority of fans who watched the Champions League quarter final draw were left salivating at the thought of Barcelona, unofficially the Best and Most Stylish Team in the World, taking on Arsenal, unofficially the Most Attractive Football Playing Team in the Premier League.
With the added spice of the 2006 final and the decisive sending [...]
Simon Jones at the Daily Mail is doing his best to guide us through a transfer window in which virtually nothing at all has happened. Lots of deals are proving fairly unlikely in his reckoning, few more so than the prospect of Wayne Rooney going to Barcelona. It didn’t stop him knocking together 117 words [...]
