Yes, because signing him from a regional team at the age of 10 is the same as signing him from the academy of another big club by taking advantage of a loophole in the contract laws

No, basically it says that it is time for Arsenal to act a bit more realistically. It is a player that wants to leave, that was signed due to the fact that contracts cant be made at that age in Spain (which Arsenal then did for a second time with Merida, and seems to be doing as a general rule all over Europe).
You two are jokers.
We did to Barca exactly what they did to Mataro(Fabregas' 1st club). Difference is, we do it when players are 15, 16 or older whilst u do it when they are younger. You go to these regional clubs and take all their best players from them, nothing they can do coz players can't sign contract aged 10 or 11.
“.........At half-time I asked the coach why I had not seen this kid before. He admitted that when he saw me coming, he had decided not to play him because he knew that if I saw him I would take him.”
Those quotes are from the Barca scout who discovered Fabregas.
As i said, get over it, just because he spent 6 years at your club doesn't mean you own him forever.
We made a lot of sacrifices, took a lot of risk to develop Cesc to the player he's. Wenger sold our captain and a player who was the backbone to all our trophy winning sides to make way for a kid who could barely talk. We changed our style of play and built our team around him. Not that we couldn't afford better players who could give us better chance of winning trophies, but we did that with the belief that this kid would one day be good enough to lead us trophies. And just when he's good enough to do that you want us to gift him to u(yes 30m for Cesc is a gift)? Fuck off!
Oh i forgot to add, be happy he signed for us which means u always have the chance of signing him coz he was thinking of joining Espanyol which would have made it virtually impossible for u to ever sign him again.

So now that Barcelona is ready to pay a good price for a player that was raised at the club and wants to come home, Arsenal needs to act with some realism and allow the player to go.
I'd like to visit Catalonia one day, great comedians u have over there.
We did not force u to buy our players. Most of those players were key members of our team, so it's not like u helped us by getting rid of our weak links. We gave u Hleb for peanuts which affected us badly and we even had to buy 2 players to give us what Hleb used to do. If anything we shoud be mad at u for fucking up our season.
The fact that u can't get the players to perform at the required level is entirely your fault, coz they all did when they were with us.
