Fabregas isn't known for his happy bunny moments and when somebody gets paid that much you just want to smack a smile out of them. He's overjoyed at staying with Arsenal, as you can tell:
"Firstly I would like to apologise to all the Arsenal fans for not speaking sooner about my future but I have not known what I was going to do until this moment. I cannot deny that joining a club like Barcelona was an attractive move for me. This was the club where I learnt my football, it is my home town where my friends and family are and a club where I have always dreamed of playing. There are not many players in the world who would not want to play for Barcelona."
"I have had many conversations with Arsène Wenger both in person and over the phone over the last few months and although the content of those conversations will remain private, the conclusion is that Barcelona have had two formal offers rejected by Arsenal. I am a professional and I fully understand that it is Arsenal's prerogative not to sell me. I owe a lot to the club, manager and the fans and I will respect their decision and will now concentrate on the new season ahead. I can assure all the fans that now the negotiations have ended I will be 100% focused on Arsenal."
I almost wish Wenger would turn round and tell him to fuck off to Barcelona but he's not in the planetpmc xi* for nothing, so just shut it and play the beautiful football, yeah?
* coming soon
