Don't leave Arsenal, Cesc!

Fabregas has heavily linked with Barcelona move, and he already desired his will to come back to his childhood club. Barca is said to already offer Cesc Fabregas with 30 millions pounds but Arsenal turned it down, because Arsenal wants 40 or maybe 50 millions for the gunners' captain

Well, Fabregas is definetely the key player of Arsenal, including the Captain of the club. Of course, Barcelona need to make a higher offer! Without any disrespection, Berbatov was bought by Man. Utd 30 millions, and Robinho was bought around that price too. Robinho was the one Madrid wanted to offload, and Man.City paid 30 milliosn. Fabregas, who is key player, and labelled not for sale, should be priced more. 50-60 milllions is reasonable for 23-years old star. Fabregas would be able to play at the highest level at least 7 more years.

Well, another reason is the competition for first team places in Barcelona. IF Fabregas leave Arsenal, would he still guaranteed first place? Barca has another excellent passers, Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta. While it isn't likely to see Barca changed their formation, Fabregas would play in midfield alongside Xavi and one defensive midfielder. Would Iniesta pushed forward, and forcing Ibrahimovic to the bench? Or Fabregas would only become supersub??

Fabregas could only be Prince in Camp Nou, while he is now a King in Arsenal!
Remember what happened to Thierry Henry and Aliaksandr Hleb when they moved to Barcelona! You could suffer the same too, Fabregas!

So, don't leave Arsenal, Cesc!

It's so similar

EPL has ended, and so Serie A. Even the Champions League has finished yesterday, while we saw Internazionale Milano beats Bayern 2-0 by two goals of Milito.

Well, now I don't write about the champions league, I write about similarities between Premier League and Serie A. I've just realized there are some similarities between two of three big leagues in Europe

1. The League's winner wears Blue Shirt, and also won the Domestic Cup
Chelsea, the EPL winner uses Blue Shirts, while Inter Milan, the treble winner uses Blue shirts with black stripes. Chelsea also win FA Cup, While Inter seals the Copa Italy. Both teams also using trequartista in their formation


2. The League's runner up and third place wears Red Shirt

Man. Utd and Arsenal finished second and third in EPL, while AS Roma and AC Milan gets second and third respectively. All of them uses Red Shirts. AC Milan uses Red Shirts with black stripes. Arsenal also had one more similarities with AC Milan. They both doubted with many pundits, but they performs very well, and surprised the pundits. Arsenal and AC Milan also using 4-3-3


3. Newcomer to big four

Tottenham finished fourth to qualify to Champions League next season, while Sampdoria gets the same position in Serie A. Both teams isn't the big four in their country, but managed to seals Champions League Spot

4. Three horse race until two horse race
It was three horse race until the mid-end of the season (Chelsea - Man. Utd - Arsenal), and (Inter - Roma - Milan), but in the end, it's only two horse race between the winner and the runner-up

5. Title decided on the last gameweek.
Inter seals Champions after beating Siena 1-0 and Chelsea destroyed Wigan 8-0 to ensure the EPL trophy comes to London

6. Teams with most titles falls
Juventus failed to get to the Champions League next season, and so did Liverpool. Both teams didn't perform like what they should perform. Both teams have the most league title in their country. Both teams had a good squad, but injuries hit them and they only get the ticket to the Europa League.

Gene's Best EPL team

EPL has ended and we have seen Chelsea to become the champions. Congrats to Chelsea since they performs very well this season, and deserved to get that trophy.


Well, there are so many players have performed well this season, and I'll pick 11 best player. Here they are:

Goalkeeper:
JOE HART
He made numerous of fantastic saves with Birmingham. Capello should considers him as England 1st goalkeeper

Defender Left:
Patrice Evra
Very consistent on the left flank of Man.Utd, while defending well too

Centre-Back:
Thomas Vermaelen
Could be said signing of the season. Rock at Arsenal's heart of defense. He is very important for the Gunners.

Centre-Back:
Michael Dawson
Very strong and consistent this season, bringing Spurs to the fourth place

Right-Back:
Branislav Ivanovic
Slightly better than Arsenal's Sagna, and offers attacking option on chelsea's Right flank

Center Midfield
Cesc Fabregas
Arsenal's maestro, top assister, and top scorer; even he only plays for 27 matches for the Gunners. Top world-class playmaker alongside Xavi Hernandez.

Center Midfield
Frank Lampard
Engine of Chelsea's midfield, alongside Malouda. He is also very sharp in front of goal.

Left Winger
Florent Malouda
Last Season Chelsea's outsider is now the keyplayer. He always become the livewire of Chelsea's attacks

Right Winger
James Milner
He made the most assist for Aston Villa, and could be said consistent on this season.

Centre Forward
Didier Drogba
Complete striker: fast, strong, good aerial ability, and very composed; Chelsea's target man become the top scorer of Premier League

Centre Forward
Wayne Rooney
Another Complete Striker. Arguably one of the best striker on nowadays. Few season before he couldn't head well but this season he has scores some header goal.
