ESPN reporting that Wenger has agreed to sell Fabregas.Good thing I changed my avatar yesterday.

Good thing I haven't caved and picked him in the EPL Draft, which I have thought about doing a couple of times. Especially glad since I already picked Berbatov.

US lineup for Mexico game:

GOALKEEPERS (2): Bill Hamid (D.C. United), Tim Howard (Everton)

DEFENDERS (8): Carlos Bocanegra (Saint-Etienne), Edgar Castillo (Club America), Timmy Chandler (FC Nürnberg), Steve Cherundolo (Hannover 96), Clarence Goodson (Brondby), Michael Orozco Fiscal (San Luis), Heath Pearce (Chivas USA), Tim Ream (New York Red Bulls)

MIDFIELDERS (7): Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake), Michael Bradley (Borussia Mönchengladbach), Ricardo Clark (Eintracht Frankfurt), Maurice Edu (Rangers), Jermaine Jones (Schalke 04), Brek Shea (FC Dallas), José Torres (Pachuca)

FORWARDS (5): Freddy Adu (Benfica), Juan Agudelo (New York Red Bulls), DaMarcus Beasley (Puebla), Edson Buddle (FC Ingolstadt), Landon Donovan (Los Angeles Galaxy)

EXACTLY...what have I been saying!!! you guys know how much I love Buddle.All of a sudden Buddle and Chandler want to play(and this is just a friendly) after dissing Bradley in the Gold Cup.

Love that Adu is a shoe-in invite now...we need his ball skills...I really hope he gets a fair shot from Klinsman.

How long is Holden out for? Jesus.

I'm hearing October. Bolton plays Man City early so Stu can avoid DeJong until the second half of the season.

ESPN reporting that Wenger has agreed to sell Fabregas.Good thing I changed my avatar yesterday.

I think most Arsenal fans would be relieved. That whole Fabregas thing would beat me down as long as it's drug on.

I can't speak for the other fans, but I checked out long long ago. I don't think it's a great move for him (or Barca, for that matter), but the guy wants to go home. Let him be happy. Wilshere came into his own last year and, IMO, established himself as one of the best center mids in the league. Alex Song, while he doesn't have the mean streak of a guy like Patric Vieira, is a more-than-capable holding CM. Aaron Ramsey appears to be fully back in the fold, and Diaby will be back in a month.I really have no qualms about Arsenal's midfield at all if Fabregas goes.

I agree with all of this. Curious where you saw the report, I can't seem to find anything new yet.

ESPN's Barca sideline reporter reported it during the second half of the Barca/Chivas game as "BREAKING NEWS".

A Redcardo Clark sighting! And DMB is tanned, rested and ready!Kind of an interesting list. Castillo and Orozco has seemed well off the Nats radar for awhile. I might have liked to have seen George John, just to see if he could be a bit more mobile that Ream. Or maybe Whitbread.

This is a sanctioned international friendly, but no Deuce. Also interesting that for all the talk that Klinsmann would favor attacking midfielders, we get five holding mids (some of whom can certainly play more box to box, but still).

Note that he didn't say that Fabregas to Barca was confirmed. He just said that one of the major hangups in the negotiations was that Wenger hadn't agreed to let him go, and his "sources" said that Wenger had agreed to let him go if the deal was right.

Does that mean that Arsenal will pull the trigger on Mata?

correct, no need to travel back to the states for a few meaningless friendlies...more important for guys like Adu/Agudelo/Ream

Not a great draw for Arsenal.

 

[Sebowski]

The Gunners were seeded for the draw in Nyon, and will face a two-legged fixture over August 16/17 and 23/24, which is sandwiched between some tough Premier League games against Newcastle, Liverpool and Manchester United.Arsene Wenger, Robin Van Persie and Samir Nasri are all suspended for the first game after being handed bans for their actions in the 3-1 defeat to Barcelona last season.

Wenger has to play Cesc if he isn't sold yet.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

L'Equipe reports that Nasri goes to City as soon as Arsenal can make a deal for Mata.

Maybe one of the two, I dunno.

There was another meeting between Arsenal and Barça reps on the Cesc front. It sounds like Arsenal wants 45m€ for Cesc, which isn't THAT outrageous, except when you figure that Cesc won't be a starter for a while.

 

[The Reytheist]

Can anyone direct me at some (preferably free) Fantasy Premier League advice sites. I'm joining an EPL fantasy league through my local and I'd love to get some advise on team building against the salary cap (percentages per position and so on), outlook on players that should expect to play the full 90 minutes, and so on. Doing a "fantasy football advice" and the like search on google.co.uk got me limited results, with most of the sites being defunct.

Any pointers or links you guys can provide would be quite appreciated.

(Didn't think this should be its own post. Let me know if this doesn't belong here and I'll break it out).

I believe if they play Cesc then sell him, Barca can't use him in the CL.This Udinese tie is going to be real interesting for Arsenal. A loss and the fan base is in meltdown mode before the season even gets going.

His value goes way down if he's cup-tied for the CL. Wenger is too smart of a bottom-line manager to do something crazy like that.

If they play him he stays at Arsenal for another year. And they should play him. For Arsenal and Cesc's sake. This is a huge game and Arsenal needs to be selfish here. Unless of course he actually isn't fit enough to contribute.
