Chapter 596 : What about the promised love?

But no matter how hard the Arsenal fans waited, there was no news of Cesc Fabregas joining Arsenal.

Instead, they waited for bad news. Barcelona officially announced the introduction of Arsenal's Belgian defender Vermaelen for a transfer fee of 900 million pounds.

Although Vermaelen was the captain of Arsenal last season, his performance was not satisfactory. He was a substitute throughout the season, and his departure was not unexpected.

But the price of 900 million pounds is still relatively high for a central defender who has not played many games for two consecutive seasons. Fans said that Arsenal has started the mode of selling captains again.

Cesc Fabregas, Nasri, Van Persie, Vermaelen... Arsenal has sold out how many captains these seasons.

At the same time, Vermaelen's transfer is a one-way transfer. If Arsenal want to introduce Cesc Fabregas, they should be able to use Vermaelen to deduct part of the cash, but Vermaelen's transfer was completed alone. But the transfer of Cesc Fabregas has been delayed.

Gradually, Arsenal fans had a bad feeling in their hearts.

Sure enough, two days later, Chelsea officially announced the introduction of Barcelona's Spanish midfielder Cesc Fabregas, with a transfer fee of 900 million pounds.

After the news came out, the fans were in a collective uproar.
What about a good love story?What about Cesc Fabregas returning to Arsenal?
A love story is just a story
Arsenal fans were heartbroken. When the Barcelona official also announced, Cesc Fabregas got up from Barcelona and went to London for a medical examination, but he went to Stamford Bridge instead of the Emirates Stadium.
At this time, reporters went to Arsenal's Kearney training base one after another. They interviewed Wenger's views on this matter, but they didn't know that Wenger was still in Barcelona at this time and hadn't returned. How could he be waiting for them at Arsenal? .

Some Spanish media had the opportunity to interview Wenger first, but Wenger in the camera only lightly said that there were many reasons why the transfer deal was not concluded, although they also very much hoped to bring Fabrega Si returned to the Arsenal he was familiar with, but professional football is like this, what you think may not necessarily become a reality in the end.He also wished Cesc Fabregas new success at Chelsea.

And Cesc Fabregas, who officially announced to join Chelsea through a medical examination in London, also said: "It is a pity that we cannot return to Arsenal, but Chelsea is also a very competitive team."

Both sides are playing bureaucracy, but no one said something nutritious.

In fact, Wenger's determination to introduce Cesc Fabregas is not absolute. First of all, he doesn't want to spend so much on the buyback clause. His ideal offer is about 2000 million to 500 million euros.And for Fabregas' salary, Wenger didn't want to pay so much, and at the same time, Wenger still had a small lump in his heart.

But what Arsenal is unwilling to do, Chelsea, which "does not lack money", is naturally willing to do.The offer of 900 million pounds they gave is almost 3000 two million euros, which is higher than Arsenal's return clause. Barcelona naturally readily agreed, and they also satisfied Fabregas' agent's proposal conditions of high salaries.Moreover, after the return of Mourinho, the team also has the advantage of competing for the championship, so Cesc Fabregas also has enough reasons to join Chelsea.

And as Cesc Fabregas' mentor, Wenger is very aware of the advantages and disadvantages of the Spanish midfielder. A little bit of it is naturally very strong in organization, full of ability to insert in the back row, and can assist and score goals by himself.But the disadvantage is that the style of play is relatively soft and the defensive ability is weak.It's okay to meet a "black and hard" midfielder partner, who can support Fabregas, but if you encounter a midfielder with poor defensive ability, then the defense in the middle will pit the goalkeeper.

One of the biggest shortcomings of Arsenal's current camp is the weak midfield blocking ability, and there is no strong midfielder to support Cesc Fabregas.And when it comes to the ability to attack from the back row, Ramsey, who has just formed in the past two seasons, is also very good, often scoring some winning goals, and Arsenal already has Ozil and Cazorla in terms of passing and organization. .

Therefore, Arsenal does not have much demand for Fabregas, and the reason why Arsenal is interested in him is the "first love".

And Chelsea has a greater demand for Cesc Fabregas. Lampard is old and is determined to leave Chelsea in the new season to join the New York City team of the MLS. Therefore, the Blues urgently need an heir to the "magic lamp" , and Fabregas naturally became the first choice.

Neutral fans originally wanted to watch a big movie where "First Love" finally got together, but they didn't expect to watch a bloody Korean drama in the end.

And the first love is naturally beautiful, but there are very few who live forever.The famous Brazilian star and former World Player of the Year Kaka finally left Milan to join the Orlando City team of the Major League Baseball after returning to AC Milan for one season.

There are too many tears and laughs in the world of football and this is just one of them.

Not long after Cesc Fabregas, another former Arsenal star Alexander Song who played for Barcelona also said that he would leave Barcelona and seek a new club, and Barcelona did put him on the transfer market.

At this time, Arsenal fans are excited, because Alexander Song is also a midfielder from Arsenal. At the same time, his defensive ability is good, and his physical fitness is particularly strong. As a player from Cameroon, the African lion, his physical fitness is absolute. Strong, typically black and hard.

At this time, Arsenal really need to strengthen the position of a midfielder. Alexander Song, who once played for Arsenal, is the most suitable. First, his worth is not high, second, his salary requirements are not high, and finally his body He has good skills and skills, and can quickly adapt to Arsenal's tactical system.

And other neutral fans are also very optimistic about this transfer deal. Arsenal fans thought that Bregas' deal was missed, so can Alexander Song's transfer deal be reached?
In fact, it is not true to say how much Arsenal fans love and hope that Alexander Song will join. They just want to see the team's determination to sign in and strengthen the lineup, especially in several key positions, such as goalkeeper and defender. and the position of the lower back.

But Arsenal fans are doomed to be disappointed, because just before the Arsenal club expresses, the Premier League mid-range team West Ham United announced that they will loan the Cameroon midfielder for a season, and have a preferential purchase clause
Now Arsenal fans are beginning to be disappointed, because as the double champion of the Champions League and the FA Cup, Arsenal's competitors have already started various reinforcements, but Arsenal not only did not sign up, but also sold them. players.

And last season, Real Madrid, which lost the Champions League and failed to complete the club's ten Champions League crowns, and was suppressed by the same city's rival Atletico Madrid in the league, once again opened up heavy signings.

Real Madrid, after announcing the official transfer of Turkish midfielder Sahin, who has been on loan at Borussia Dortmund, to the Hornets, announced that the club has introduced a new World Cup Golden Boot winner from Ligue [-] team Monaco, Colombia star James Rodriguez .

Although Real Madrid and Monaco did not disclose the specific transfer fee, according to the information of the Marca newspaper, the transfer fee of James Rodriguez is about 8000 million pounds! !

This is Real Madrid's second heavy signing after Bale.

But such a huge transfer fee also made fans question, is this Colombian really worth so much money?

This price is about the same as the cost of Suarez's transfer to Barcelona. It seems that Real Madrid and Barcelona are not only mortal enemies on the court, but also mortal enemies in the transfer market.

But Real Madrid's signings did not end there. They also announced that the team's midfielder Alonso would transfer to the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich at a price of 1000 million pounds. Toni Kroos moved to the Bernabéu in 2000 for £[-] million.
This transfer once again blinded the eyes of the fans, although Alonso's departure made Real Madrid fans a little sad.But the Spanish midfielder is not young anymore, and at the same time, injuries have continued over the years, so it is also a helpless move.

But the introduction of Kroos is definitely a good deal. And with this in and out, Real Madrid is equivalent to adding 1000 to [-] million pounds on the basis of Alonso in exchange for a younger and more capable German midfielder.

As the saying goes, if the cost is huge, there must be a plan.So everyone understands that in the new season, Real Madrid must have a lot of plans!
Bayern Munich, which sold Toni Kroos, immediately announced the free introduction of Borussia Dortmund's Polish striker Lewandowski, whose contract expired, but this transfer was already finalized during the winter transfer in January. know things.Now it is just an official announcement, and Lewandowski is going to report to Bayern Munich.

And the Arsenal fans who have tasted the sweetness of the Champions League are not reconciled. After seeing Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich all making heavy signings, they are also a little anxious-they regard these three clubs as the biggest in their Champions League. competitor! !
Perhaps considering the feelings and anxiety of the fans, Arsenal quickly implemented their first signing this summer.

Wenger officially announced the introduction of the Colombian goalkeeper Ospina who performed well in the World Cup this summer and played for the Ligue 400 team Nice with a price of [-] million pounds.
Well, at least Arsenal have also started to act, and this transfer transaction may be able to stimulate Szczesny, who is not performing well, and put some pressure on the Polish international.
