FC Barcelona: Don't Hate on Cesc Fabregas, He Just Wanted to Go Back Home

Another transfer saga has been put to rest as former Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas has signed a five-year deal with his hometown club FC Barcelona worth £35 million.

Fabregas signed his contract, which also states a buyout clause of €200 million. But I doubt any club will take a swipe at attempting to sign him after this saga.

On his arrival at the Nou Camp, Fabregas underwent a medical which went well with doctors saying he is ready to join training immediately.

Arsenal fans across the world are furious by the decision taken by Fabregas to leave the club that gave him so many opportunities.

Furthermore, Fabregas kissed the Barcelona badge as he was presented to the media and fans at the Camp Nou, which could add fuel to the fury lashed out by many of his former supporters.

Taking a look at Twitter, thousands of messages both of praise and disgust where coming through. Amongst them was a notable tweeter, Manchester United center back Rio Ferdinand, who said:

"

rioferdy5: "So the Fabregas transfer saga is over as he signs for Barca. Good luck to him, top player. I'm interested to see where Barca will fit him in"

"

Another tweeter said: 

"

TheLifeOfKoya "So cesc fabregas is definitely gone...so what happens next"

"

Which is a question many Arsenal fans will ask. What will be used with the money? Will Wenger bring in experienced players who are needed, or will he look to the youth to carry the flag?

Fabregas said of Wenger in his first Barca press conference:

"

"I'll never have enough words to thank him for all he's done for me. I'll never forget him. I don't think he has such a good image here, he has been portrayed as something he's not, in my opinion. If today I am here with you then it's greatly due to him. I can't express my admiration for him strongly enough, I owe it to him that I am here."

"

Nevertheless, Arsenal fans will now hope Samir Nasri stays at the club as the Gunners have an uphill battle with a shaky start to the season after new signing Gervinho was red-carded at the weekend and is set to miss some important matches.
