Maybe it's because you sign players from their academy before they can tie them down to a professional contract and then claim that you are the ones who have developed them when really it has been down to Barcelona's youth system.
Barca didn't want Fabregas when he was 16 - So Arsenal gave him the chance to be a great player, which he has achieved. Whinging about it is just sour grapes.
If they wanted them badly enough they would have tied them down to long term contracts with good conditions and assurances of playing in the first team. As it is these players know they'll get that at Arsenal - Barca's inability to give their youth players the same opportunities is part of the reason that they chose to play for Arsenal.
Hmm, well I guess you can't expect youngsters to get many games ahead of Barcelona's current midfield.
Not true at all, if they wanted him they would have kept him and not sold him to us. They are moaning about nothing. And if they want to start moaning about taking young players how about they give Messi back, as he was taken as a young child. Oh and the fact they poached two Arsenal youngsters last year before they signed pro contracts, except the Arsenal boys refused to sign for Barca! So maybe have a little knowledge on the subject before commenting.
Same with Fab; i'm sure if they actually rated him when he was younger he wouldn't have been allowed to leave for us. However they didn't and the rest is history. At the end of the day, c'est la vie
Berbnanidez: You complain about us 'stealing players' from Barca and then say 'Well they won't get many games ahead of Barca's current midfield' I'm sorry but what? Contradiction aside, if the player wanted to stay at Barca, he would have signed a contract with Barca, and if they didn't want to give him a contract, THEY DIDN'T ****ING WANT HIM.
jesus christ Luke... What have i told you before?, Get the fook off the arsenal board and carry on playing with your plastic dinosaur toys!!.
Basically every team does it, even barca took 2 of our youngsters a couple of years ago... You should all get off your high horse and start getting real!
Barca approached Aneke and Afobe last year. Their hypocrisy is disgusting. What a vile football club. http://younggunsblog.co.uk/2011/02/hypocrisy-is-rife-as-barca-point-the-finger/ - Great Article.
