Not to mention he went on strike to force his move. Not sure what kind of message that sends to our players or supporters.

That he went back to his hometown team thought Pep would be there and that he would play. It didn't work out. He can come back to a club we know he loves plus at the time of the strike do you blame him for doing it. We bought no one to put around him and had plenty of time to do it. After selling him and Nasri do you not remember we only bought out of panic from the 8-2 game? Now that we are bringing in talent maybe he will see that and want to come back.

The cost to bring him back could be used to fill bigger holes than creative midfielder. and i love me some
Yea but we already seen that Arsene thinks this team is good enough and doesn't plan on buying anymore. I think he would reconsider that when it comes to Cesc. Plus if Cesc comes he can take the cam spot and Cazorla can move out wide. That would give us much needed creativity from out wide plus Cazorla has played there plenty in his career. Cesc is one the best midfielders on the planet and to say you wouldn't want him is baffling to me.

Significant amount of revisionist history there. He was surrounded with a lot of talent. Bad luck with injuries, including his own, doomed us. We didn't panic buy because of the 8-2 game. We were forced into the position to buy before that we just hadn't completed anything. That loss didn't effect our buying.

Sure we brought in talent, but there's no real difference in our policy considering we also sold our two best players from last season.

I think the main thing is you guys think he will be cheap. Barca will not sell him for any less than 30mil. And pardon me for not wanting a guy who quit on us and was a large cause of the horrible situation we had during the last transfer window. Not to mention him going on strike severely lowered his transfer price. Cost us at least £15mil.

He's a great player, but we're not in the financial position to outlay the cash for him. We would be better aided buying elsewhere.
