Fabregas, whilst growing up never got a holiday. When not playing for the Gunners, he would find himself playing for spain. This is almost always the case across the board for Wengers young protiges

To begin this article, let us make one thing clear and that is the position that this article is coming from. That is a one contrary to the position it seems the majority of the media takes, which seems to be one where WengerBall is a thing to be slated, mocked, ridiculed and excused as a cul de sac tangent in footballing history.
This is most definitely not the case for this article, despite the fears soon to be expressed.
It does make sense that the media does not seem to support Wengers approach to football and that is as a result of the increased role played by the financeers of football rather than the artists of football.
When watching or reading media reports on the Gunners just remember who pays there bills and that the programme of football the Wenger advocates is not one of big name transfers and big budget expenditure. His frugality is frowened upon rather than praised. His ability to correctly balanced a well run team on and off the pitch is laughed at rather than applauded.
And this makes sense, since what sells more magazines, gets more hits and is viewed more, Wenger raising football genius or Kaka being chased for ridiculous ammounts of cash by Manchester/Dubai City?
We all know the answer, football is a business, if it weren’t we wouldn’t have Wenger in the first place.
The darkside of this approach in the medias eyes, therefore, has never been anything more than a refreshing fiscal frugality that undermines this rich unts trying to earn an easy buck on football, rich unts who have almost direct influence on individuals in the media.
Or maybe that paranoia thing from blunting too much has finally kicked in.
The darkside of Wengerball, that in many ways has been ignored, was what has happened to the Cesc.
The dillema with creating teenage phenomenon’s is the level to which the end up being exploited by less visionary managers than Wenger. Erikson, Walcot, need one say more?
Fabregas, whilst growing up never got a holiday. When not playing for the Gunners, he would find himself playing for spain. This is almost always the case across the board for Wengers young protiges.
But when this wonderkids hit the twenties, are the wheels going to come off a little bit? Does it matter more when you start playing professionaly or for how long you play professionally. Will these youngsters have the grit to play into their mid thirties? If The Citeh blokes are any form of benchmark for the future than these young kids will be earning more sooner.
Are they the supercars of today? Faster, sleeker, newer but try them after a couple of years and everythings bust?
If our Striking Viking, Nikki B, is anything to go by, the early twenties are the toughest in terms of head space. He’s getting there, he has the look in his eyes each time he scores and now, more often than not he has the look and doesn’t lose it as result of misses and mistakes.
Fabregas was looking tired. He definitely deserved a holiday. It’s just a pity it happened on our watch.
Please God, don’t let Capello, or whoever is after him, ruin Walcott and Wiltshere and all out other young talents. For that matter, Ericson now has access to Vela, so spread a little protection his way.
By the way, here in Jozies it’s hot as hell. Whats the weather like in London…
