Hmm... so if Arsenal sell Fabregas & Nasri, they're no longer a big club? That's what Monsieur Wenger said.
..till Sunday.Following years of interest and speculation, a spokesperson for the European champions announced on Friday lunchtime that the transfer of the Arsenal captain, which is worth a speculated £35million, could finally be completed 'within hours'.
Fabregas was therefore set to fly to Spain this afternoon in order to put the finish touches to his return to his boyhood club before attending Sunday's Super Cup between Barcelona and Real Madrid.
But Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola has told the midfielder, who is expected to sign a five-year contract and is viewed as a long-term successor to Xavi, to cancel the flight in order to avoid upsetting Arsenal.
Arsenal Football Club has agreed terms with Costa Rican side Deportivo Saprissa to sign teenage striker Joel Campbell.

Rick Astley signs
Arseblog said:Barcelona’s defensive cavemen Puyol and Pique were on Twitter gloating in a not very subtle way that the Cesc deal was done. Arsenal immediately denied this and to punish Barcelona for making news public against a non-disclosure agreement, refused to send them confirmation of the deal so they could announce it officially.
As staff waited in offices at the Camp Nou, Arsenal simply left them hanging. Then, just to let Barcelona know they were still around and working in London, they announced the agreement to sign 19 year old Costa Rican striker Joel Campbell. This is the Joel Campbell who we’d been after a couple of weeks back but who failed to turn up to a meeting with Dick Law. Even the announcement that we’d agreed to sign, rather than actually signed, is unusual enough for Arsenal.
