Barça Make Formal Offer for Fabregas, Arsenal Laughs in Their Face

After months of speculation, wild rumors, and no more than informal conversation between the two clubs, F.C. Barcelona yesterday made an official transfer offer to Arsenal for captain Cesc Fabregas.

Turns out, that offer was for £29 million. While that might be four million more than Arsenal received from Manchester City for Emmanuel Adebayor last summer, this value is still appallingly low for a player of the caliber and role of Fabregas. So, in a move that should surprise nobody, Arsenal said no to the offer.

Arsenal's response was blunt: Fabregas is under contract until 2015, we have no intention of selling him right now, we're not making a counter-proposal, and we're not going to talk about it, so goodbye.

So, what does this mean? That this saga is long from over! Aren't you so very excited about that!?!
