Having left for his boyhood club Barcelona in 2011, Cesc Fabregas reportedly wants to return to Arsenal where he spent 8 long years of his career. The former gunner captain was a super star at the club and the fans have been asking for his return since the day he left.
Fabregas signed for Arsene Wenger’s side 10 years back in 2003 when he was just a 16 year old boy. Wenger showed faith in young starlet who went onto become one of premier league’s best center midfielders. Fans will be overjoyed if he does return but the question is:
Why Fabregas wants to come back? Or if that is the case then Why did he leave Arsenal in the first place?
Surely it will make no sense that Fabregas is returning to win trophies. Not that Arsenal have failed to win one in 8 long years but the point is that Barcelona are a club that seemingly guarantee titles and well they do win every year.
With Arsenal, Cesc could only win one FA Cup in his long stay whereas at Barca he has already won more in just 2 years. Fabregas has won his first ever league title of the career recently with the Catalan side. Won Copa Del Rey and Super Copa in his first season and only Champions League prize is missing. No points for guessing which club has more chances of winning it between Arsenal and Barcelona.
He can claim that there is unfinished business left at Arsenal but then why did he leave when gunners were building and needed him the most.
Understandable when a club like Barcelona comes calling, it is hard to say no to them. Pepe Reina is a recent example. For Farbregas, the craving was always going to be more as it was his boyhood club where he grew up as a kid.
However, it was at Arsenal where he grew up professionally and became the star he is right now. Nevertheless, he left for his boyhood club and well he should love every aspect of living at home. Then having got his dream move back to the place where he belongs, why does he want to return and if that is the case, why did he leave in the first place?
Yes, he loves Arsenal, the supporters and he may feel that Emirates is his second home but he cannot possibly come up and say that Arsenal is now more of a home than Barcelona just because he was always treated as a super star with Gunners but things are different in Spain where he plays in an already star studded side.
When Fabregas was leaving for Barcelona, all the talk was about him being the one to replace Xavi. Although Cesc claimed that he is not going there to replace Xavi but to play alongside him.
As far as things are going, he is getting his wish fulfilled and must really be content. Cesc featured in 32 leagues games last season and out of those he started 30 of them. The only odd factor is that sometimes he is playing as a second striker or sometimes as a center attacking midfielder whereas if we all agree, Fabregas is a natural CM.
So in that case, he cannot possibly claim that now he is dissatisfied with his role in the side as he moved to Spain while already knowing and accepting the fact that Xavi is going to be ever present in the Barcelona side and being the bigger star, Fabregas will have to adjust.
The question remains the same, why does/will he want to come back when he got all that he desired.

Completely agree he was mad about move to Barca and left when we needed him
I still like him but some fans treat fab as legend which he is not
I truly agree with the fans that believe fab is a legend. We really welcome him back to add the wengerball that is missing in our team.
He may have something to do at emirates because we fans love him,but he left emirate when we need him alot.
Well it a welcome idea if he wish to do so let him come that means the club is good and has a quality. Hs welcome
we don,t need him any more
I’m not sure if we realy need him cos he may still return after some good outings. Let’s build our team around people that deserves it and move on. Fabregas should continue his development and trophy desire in Barca and let Arsenal fans concentrate on our new team
Henry did d same n viera did d same bt if guud players want a kom back,4get abt y dey left n simply bring em back 2 du d biznez dats all..even bring in flamini n we will luv him
Cesc is not the first player to find the grass is not always greener on the other side. I would welcome him back with open arms.He is not only a more mature and experienced player, but he may be a bit more humble. He has added even more goals to his game and we can apparently get him back for 10m less than we received from Barca. Damn good piece of businness in my opinion.
Weather fab is comin bk or nt, wat we need is a good player who is able to bring arsenal bk to its glory days.
I don’t think fabregas coming back is anything dat we should b proud of if we really want 2 context 4 d EPL title,my reasons are simply he left us wen we needed him most and went 2 barca and on reaching dere he realised dat it’s not all dat glitters dats gold and now thinks he kan kom back and and b accepted wit open arms.Barca as a team knws dat dey kan not get d ammount dey paid arsenal 4 fabregas nw cos 2 me his market value has reduced and arsenal are entitled 2 half of his transfer fee,xo my thought is dat barca are trying 2 make sure he is signed by arsenal so as not 2 pay arsenal any compesation.Arsenal should pls look 4 oda alternatives dat would bring a new dimension 2 d club and 4get d issue of fabregas afta all he wuz wit us 4 8yrs and we won nothing so plz arsenal let’s sign players dat ave won nothing and are eager 2 do so.players lyk BENTEKE plx.
Pls dnt blame him 4 leaving instead blame wenger who was building a team wid no wining mentality. . .a useless almunia, lazy defend as joaurn jouru n sqilachi, ova speed walcout, injured prone rvp n chicken hairy chamak as strikes, also drama eboue n clichy. ARSENAL TEAM LOOK MORE SOLID NOW THAN WEN HE WAS HERE. WID PLAYERS LIKE CARSOLA, MATURED WALCOUT, KOSELNY, ARTETA, PODOLSKI WID FAB HIMSELF, HE CAN BE SURE OF CARRING TROPHY.
Fabregas is talented player,we should welcome him back and the reason why he left emirate is bcos he want to add something to his medal which he has achieve at barca,and no player of calibre like fab will serve one club eight good years without trophy dat would like to stay in dat club,so nobody should blame him for dat bcos he moved at right time and if he decide to come back let us welcome,for arsene wenger and boards unless they change their club policy,dat is only way arsenal can collect trophy l mean by buying a quality players not from ligue 1 or ligue 2 bcos arsene wenger suppose to learn from dis past season bcos he should not fight for only top 4 he fight for trophy like other big team in england.I am a gunners till last breath.
I cannot Agree less Aras1973. Its not easy to detach emotions in businesses most especially if u have flare. If Flamini remains at Arsenal n cesc along van persie song hleb n d rest. Who would say Arsenal will b lacking in trophies es at did stage. If Wenger decides to bring cesc back its an awesome addition n a plus for any side to have him.don’t allow negativity cloud Ur judgement. Cesc will ultimately b welcomed n without cesc Adebayor was useless check statistics.
We have Santi Cazorla, we don’t need him
Cesc is a player I’ll always welcomeback to North London anyday,anytime;It’s true that he left when he was needed but just come back HOME kid!
I am very happy with you all my fellow gunners faithfuls. I hail your courage and encouragement. Concerning the issue of our runaway soldier cesc, I think he will be a great addition 2 our club. With him playing behind carzola or wilshire our midfield would regain its missing flavour. With attackers like Giroud who to me is better than Adebayo arsenal could get more goals with cesc’s dead balls from deed midfield to attack. Let us put away all sentiments and support only what will move our club forward. We are the strongest of all fans. Arsenal til last breath.
Religiously and Traditionally a man and woman divorced each other. once they realised their mistake the marriage was reconnected again. from all this indication you people have to support SESC FABREGAS to come back to arsenal.forget the past/present and think for the future THANK FABREGAS WALL COME TO ARSENAL
i think fab plus cazola will be like inesta xaxi too for really and if we have other players like wanyama it will make our midfield strong and solid players like wilshire, arteta,coquellin, ramsey rosisky will always rotate in appropriate for many matches and competition to be played. but diaby shuld be sold after recovery or loan out to teams like crystal palace, hull city or cardiff. we need sharp strikes. just too jovetic 20-22mill and benkeke15-18mil fab25mill wanyama 10mill, a very good defender for 10-15mill cesar 2-3mill or alder 6-8mill then we will have a compact team with young with experience players. Gervihno out arsavin, squalacci,djour,denilson,bentnar,park,charmak santos should all go
