Chapter 596: What about good love?

But no matter how much Arsenal fans waited, they just didn't wait for the news that Cesc Fabregas had joined Arsenal.

Instead, they waited for bad news, and Barcelona officially announced the introduction of Arsenal's Belgian defender Vermaelen for a transfer fee of 19 million pounds.

Last season's Vermaelen was Arsenal's captain, but his appearance was not ideal, and he was a substitute all season, and his departure was not unexpected.

But the price tag of £19 million is still relatively high for a centre-back who hasn't played much for two seasons in a row, and fans say Arsenal have started to sell the captain again.

Cesc Fabregas, Nasri, Robin van Persie and Vermaelen don't know how many captains Arsenal have sold in recent seasons.

At the same time, Vermaelen's transfer is a one-way transfer, if Arsenal wants to bring in Fabregas, they should be able to use Vermaelen to deduct some cash, but Vermaelen's transfer is completed alone, but Fabregas's transfer has not been reported.

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

Sure enough, two days later, Chelsea officially announced the introduction of Barcelona Spanish midfielder Cesc Fabregas for a transfer fee of £29 million.

After this news came out, the fans were in an uproar

What about a good love story? What about Cesc Fabregas' return to Arsenal?

A love story is actually just a story

Arsenal fans were devastated and when Barcelona officially announced it, Cesc Fabregas picked up from Barcelona and headed to London for a medical check-up, only at Stamford Bridge instead of the Emirates Stadium

At this time, reporters went to Arsenal's Kearney training base to interview Wenger's views on this matter, but they didn't know that Wenger was still in Barcelona at this time and did not come back, how could he be waiting for them at Arsenal.

Some Spanish media outlets have been close to the water, they interviewed Wenger first, and Wenger in the camera only lightly said that there are many reasons why this transfer deal did not go through, although they also very much hope to bring Cesc Fabregas back to Arsenal, which he is familiar with, but professional football is like this, what you think, may not be a reality in the end. At the same time, he wished Cesc Fabregas new success at Chelsea.

Cesc Fabregas, who officially announced his move to Chelsea in London, said: "It's a bit of a shame not to be able to return to Arsenal, but Chelsea are also a very competitive team"

Both sides are playing official, but no one says anything nutritious.

In fact, Arsene Wenger's determination to bring in Cesc Fabregas is not absolute, first of all, he does not spend as much as a buy-back clause, and his ideal offer is around 20 million euros to 25 million euros. And for Fabregas's salary, Wenger also doesn't want to pay so much, and Wenger still has a small pimple in his heart.

But what Arsenal is not willing to do, Chelsea, who are "not short of money", are naturally willing to do. They made an offer of £29 million for almost €32 million, which is higher than Arsenal's return clause, and Barcelona readily agreed, and they also met the conditions of the high salary offered by Cesc Fabregas' agent. And Chelsea also have the advantage of competing for the title after the return of Jose Mourinho, so Cesc Fabregas has more than enough reason to join Chelsea.

And as Fabregas's mentor, Wenger is very aware of the strengths and weaknesses of the Spanish midfielder, a little bit of a natural is very organised, the back row is full of ability, can assist and can score 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" midfield partner who can support Cesc Fabregas, but if you encounter a midfielder who is not very good defensively, then the defense in the middle will pit the goalkeeper.

One of the biggest shortcomings in Arsenal's current camp is the lack of interception ability in midfield and the lack of a tough midfielder to support Cesc Fabregas. And when it comes to the ability to insert attacks in 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 have Mesut Ozil and Cazorla in terms of passing and playmaking.

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

Chelsea has a greater need for Cesc Fabregas, Frank Lampard is old, and it is determined that he will leave Chelsea in the new season to join the New York City team in Major League Soccer, so the Blues urgently need a successor to the "magic lamp", and Fabregas has naturally become the first choice.

Neutral fans originally wanted to watch a big movie where "First Love" finally came 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 have been old for the rest of their lives. After returning to AC Milan for a season, Kaka, a famous Brazilian star and former world footballer, finally left Milan City to join Orlando City in Major League Soccer.

There are so many tears and laughter in the world of football, and this is just one of them.

Shortly after Cesc Fabregas, another former Arsenal star who played for Barcelona, Alexander Song, also said he was leaving Barcelona in search of a new club, and Barcelona did put him on the transfer market.

At this time, Arsenal fans were excited, because Alexander Song was also a midfielder from Arsenal, and at the same time, his defensive ability was good, and his body was particularly strong.

And Arsenal does need to strengthen a midfield position at this time, Alexander Song, who has played for Arsenal, is the most suitable, first of all, his value is not high, secondly, his salary requirements are not high, and finally his body and technique are good, and he can quickly adapt to Arsenal's tactical system.

Other neutral fans are also very optimistic about this transfer deal, and Arsenal fans think that the Bregas deal is missed, so Alexander Song's transfer deal can be done, right?

In fact, it is not true that Arsenal fans love and want Alexander Song to join, they just want to see the determination of the team to strengthen the squad, especially in a few key positions, such as goalkeeper, defender and midfielder.

But Arsenal fans were doomed to disappointment, as mid-table Premier League side West Ham United announced that they were on loan at the Cameroonian midfielder for a season with a buy-first clause before Arsenal had yet to say so

Now Arsenal fans are starting to be disappointed, because as the Champions League and FA Cup double, Arsenal's rivals have begun to strengthen the squad in various ways, but Arsenal not only did not bring in reinforcements, but also sold players.

And last season, after losing the Champions League last season, did not complete the club's Champions League ten-time title, and at the same time was suppressed by the city's rival Atletico Madrid in the league, Real Madrid, who had no results, once again opened a blockbuster recruitment.

Real Madrid announced the official transfer of Turkish midfielder Shahin, who has been on loan at Borussia Dortmund, to the Hornets and announced that the club have brought in a new World Cup Golden Boot winner, Colombian rising star James Rodriguez, from Ligue 1 side Monaco.

Although neither Real Madrid nor Monaco have revealed a specific transfer fee, according to information from Marca, James Rodriguez's transfer fee is about 80 million pounds!!

This is another blockbuster financial recruitment for Real Madrid after Bale.

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

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

However, Real Madrid's recruitment did not end there, they also announced the transfer of midfielder Marcos Alonso to Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich for £10 million, while Bayern Munich's midfielder Tony Klos moved to the Bernabeu Stadium for £22 million

The transfer has once again blinded the fans, although Alonso's departure has saddened Real Madrid's fans. However, the age of the Spanish midfielder is not young, and at the same time, there have been injuries over the years, so it is also a helpless move.

But bringing in Klos is definitely a good deal, and with this in and out, Real Madrid is equivalent to adding 12 million pounds to Alonso in exchange for a younger, more capable German midfielder.

As the saying goes, if you spend a lot, you must have a plan. So everyone understands that Real Madrid must have a lot to do in the new season!

Bayern Munich, who sold Toni Klos, immediately announced the free acquisition of Borussia Dortmund Polish striker Robert Lewandowski, whose contract expired, but the transfer was already finalized in the winter transfer in January, and everyone knows it. Now it is only an official announcement, and Lewandowski is going to Bayern Munich to report.

Arsenal fans who have tasted the sweetness of the Champions League are not reconciled, and they are also a little anxious after seeing Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich all making heavy additions - they see these three clubs as their biggest competitors in the Champions League!!

Perhaps considering the feelings and anxiety of the fans, Arsenal quickly made their first signing of the summer.

Arsene Wenger has officially announced the £4 million acquisition of Colombian goalkeeper Ospina, who played for Ligue 1 side Nice at the World Cup this summer

Well, at least Arsenal are also starting to act, and this transfer deal may be able to irritate the poor Szczesny and put some pressure on the Polish international.
