Where will Cesc and Samir Land When the Music Stops?
July 13th, 2011 by adminThe Summer Transfer market is a case of musical chairs. Where will Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri end up when things are all said and done?
In the case of Fabregas it’s a more delicate situation. Born in Barcelona, he was signed by the Barcelona Academy at the age of 10. He went to Arsenal when he was 16 on a promise of first-team football and broke into Arsene Wenger’s side shortly after. Since Thierry Henry’s departure in 2007, Fabregas has been the club captain.
He won the World Cup with Spain in 2010 alongside several Barcelona players, many of whom are childhood friends so, obviously, there is a strong pull to return home, and with Barca winning trophies left, right and centre, there couldn’t be a better time to move.
Nasri signed for Arsenal from Marseille (and relative obscurity!) in 2008. He had a great season last year and wants to capitalize on that, or at least that’s what he’s being advised to do. There are reports that he will sign for Manchester City who are, in turn, prepared to treble what he is currently earning at Arsenal, although Nasri himself doesn’t seem fussed and, as speculation increased about champions Manchester United expressing their interest in acquiring the Frenchman’s services, Nasri was with his Arsenal teammates on their tour of the Far East.
If Arsenal were to sell two of their best midfielders, the negative message that would send to the fans may be irreversible and their future amongst the Premiership’s elite could be in jeopardy but, however this unfolds we’ll know everything by the close of the transfer window at the very latest…
