I'm not disputing whether Fabregas loved Arsenal or not. All I said was that I've read Arsenal supporters compare Nasri's departure more favourably to Fabregas's and I personally can see why.
Nasri may act like a **** on twitter etc but unlike Fabregas, he kept on playing and performing for you right up until he was sold. Also unlike Fabregas, you got a huge fee for him given his ability and the fact he had 1 year left on his deal. Because Fabregas was demanding a move to Barca and only Barca, despite him being one of the best midfielders in the world and having a good few years left on his contract, you ended getting a fairly poor fee for him.
pack it up, firstly I've never seen an Arsenal fan say this secondly, Fabregas wanted to move to Barca for several years and Wenger persuaded him to stay for an extra year on at least two occassions. This was a move coming for over 3 years that Fabregas HELPED Wenger by staying longer than he wanted. This move was certain from the last game in May basically and its rare that with a player you KNOW is moving they play a lot.
He also did have a hamstring injury, it was something that didn't prevent him playing all the previous year, but knocked him out of many games, and it knocked him out of plenty of games for Barca over the season.
Also Nasri continued to play up till he left... he played a SINGLE game, that was it, and that was more because it was looking increasingly likely he wouldn't leave, he missed multiple games, and Wenger, unlike with Fabregas who he'd persuaded to stay for at least two seasons longer than he wanted, was trying to keep Nasri at that point, not let him leave.
Fabregas compared to Nasri, when Fabregas made it clear he wanted to leave instead of winding down his contract like Nasri, he was persuaded to stay, sign a new contract and like Modric make the club a HELL of a lot more money than if he'd let his contract wind down like Nasri did.
Fabregas gave the club 2 more years after he was certain he wanted to go and did his best to get Arsenal as much money as he could, it could have been a free transfer and a **** you to Arsenal, it was neither. Nasri had one half decent season and then forced a move when Wenger clearly didn't want to sell.
The fact that City(and Utd) wanted to massively overpay for a average player with less than a year on his contract has no bearing on the money we got. Nasri is barely worth 10mil, maybe 15mil, and with a year left on his contract should have gone for similar money to Clichy, the fact City randomly paid 4 times more than he was worth, like they paid 2-3 times what Adebayor was worth, has no bearing on the fact that Barca didn't randomly spend 3 times as much as Fabregas was worth.
Whatever you want to believe lolwe never stand a chance either with our wage structure.
