Why We All Love Bartha

Looks like Bartha's Txiki "Tickle-me-Elmo" Begirikazakhstan is continuing with his rather annoying habit of talking through the nether regions of his anatomy:

''It's great news that he wants to come here and I think that one day Cesc will have to come to Barca. But what matters is Arsenal and what their decision is."

''They think he is a very important player for them. We have to respect that. At times the wishes of players do not come true because they are under contract. That he says that he wants to come to Barca is a synonym that things are being done well here."

''I don't know when but I have the impression that he is a Barca (style) player and that he will enjoy it very much. I wish it was as soon as possible. But we have to respect Arsenal's wishes and the contract he has.''

In response then, our own Peter Hill-Wood has suggested that:

''I do know there has been no official approach from Barcelona. Under those circumstances the best comment is no comment!"

Actually, no, my dear friend. The best comment would be:

"Kiss my sorry arse. You won't get away with that feeble attempt at a derogatory slight towards us. Cough up the GDP of a small European economy and we might just think about it. Actually, not a small European economy (like Spain). No point getting paid in euros these days."

So yes, pay us something nice in gold, and we can think about it. I mean, why do we have "no comment", when over there in Spain, there are these who would continue with their shitty comments more often than they empty their bowels? Should we not give some back? Shiver me timbers, there's something really wrong here if we're always the ones forced to maintain any semblance of decency in the "debate".

Here's what we should put out in arsenal.com - as a comment attributable to Arsene Wenger.

1. Cesc Fabregas is contracted with us till 2014. That's 4 more years.

2. So you want Cesc? Sure. If he wants to leave, fine.

3. But pay up. Pay up now, and you'll have him for 3,800 kilos of gold. Put a down payment of 3,700 now, and you can have him at a discount of 1 ounce more in 2013.

4. Of course, you could have him for free in 2014. But if the boy is going to be sulking about not joining his childhood club, then go figure if you still want someone playing in the Reserves for 3 years lining up at Bartha in 2014.

On the latter, really, how much is it going to cost us? Let's see: 100,000 quid a week; multiply that by 52, by 3, and that's what? 15.6 million. We've made our profit of 24 million from Adebayor that we haven't even spent a cent (or penny) of, so why not.

You deal with friggin' gangsters, you gotta have the balls and cash to cough up. [Come to think of it, why is it that all we ever hear of is that stupid Yaya Toure-Cesc swop? Can't we just say, if you can't cough up Lionel Messi or 3,700 kilos of gold, or the Camp Nou, bugger off?]

If you can't deal with thugs as a thug, you just gotta rethink the whole Arsene Wenger approach then. Which in my mind, is a lot more difficult than just rethinking Arsene Wenger.

Anyways. Enough of this shit. This shall be the last of anything I'll say about Cesc. Tomorrow onwards, unless we really sell him, I shall begin my look at the World Cup too.

Ciao.
