The End Is Nigh by GilbertoSilver Gunnerblog http://gunnerblog.com/2011/08/11/the-end-is-nigh/ Whisper it, but it may almost be over. 听闻许多这事的传闻，但这次可能是最後一次了。 图片：El Mundo Deportivo: "Today, Cesc" http://gunnerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/mundodeporcesc.png A transfer saga that has hung its miserable shadow over us since the day Cesc Fabregas first arrived in London, and that has spent two years showering uncertainty on to our captain and our club, may be about to end. 自从 Cesc Fabregas 来到伦敦起，一次又一次的转会传闻总是让枪迷们难受，尤其近两 年来对於我们队长和俱乐部的不确定性，这次可能将划下终止符。 Widespread reports in England and indeed Barcelona (click images on the right) suggest a deal is imminent. Of course, we’ve been here before, but the sheer weight of speculation suggests there may be fire at the heart of all this smoke. The impending commencement of the season, too, may have hurried negotiations along. 英格兰境内的媒体报导以及 Barca 都指出这笔交易即将完成。当然，我们之前也经历过 同样的事件，但这次传闻以相当的份量直击漫天乱喊的八卦消息。随着季初开幕战即将开 打，更是加速了这次协商的进度。 Barcelona’s supposed final offer, which they expect Arsenal to accept today, totals €40m. It’s unclear whether that’s a full €40m, or if the Catalan club are including in that figure the €5m Arsenal will save by not paying Cesc any kind of loyalty bonus. Whatever they end up paying, it won’t be more than about €29m upfront – and it’ll be a bargain. Cesc will go for marginally more than Andy Carroll. 盛传 Barca 提出最後的报价并认为 Arsenal 今天会接受的价码是：总共 €40m。不确定 是否为完全以€40m购入，或者加泰罗尼亚俱乐部还开出 Arsenal 不需付给 Cesc €5m 的荣誉奖金。无论最後付了多少转会费，都不会超过 €29m ─ 着实地对我们杀价。 Cesc 可以算是稍微比 Andy Carroll 贵了一点。 图片：Sport: "Cesc – Yes" http://gunnerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/sportcescthurs.png As I said a few days ago, the specifics of the deal don’t matter that much to me. In fact, I’d happily lose out on a million euros or so if it meant we could get it done quickly. Going in to the new season with this huge issue resolved and a new captain appointed would provide a welcome boost. 就如我先前所说，交易的细节对我来说无关紧要。事实上，即便少了一百万欧元或更多一 点，若能赶快搞定我也不会太在意。在进入赛季前搞定这重大事件，并指派新任队长，会 带来不少激励打气作用。 When the deal is finally done, both clubs will declare the fee “undisclosed” . Barca well tell the Catalan press they got a bargain, and Arsenal will brief the English press that they got a fair price. We’ll never know the truth. 等到交易确定完成，双方俱乐部都会表示“不公开”转会费细节。Barca 可能会向加泰罗 尼亚的媒体们表示他们做到了低价买入，而 Arsenal 则会告诉英文媒体们取得合理的转 会费。谁也不会知道交易的细节。 There’s plenty more to say about Cesc and his departure. I’ll save it for when any of this speculation is confirmed. The next days promise to be painful, but I think it’s best for everyone now that this gets sorted. The night is darkest just before the dawn; we can and will emerge from this still unbowed, still Arsenal. 关於 Cesc 和他的离去有很多要说的。但我还是等到被证实那天再跟你们谈。接下来的几 天肯定不会好受，但我想这事的结束对大家会好一些。黎明前一刻总是最黑暗的一刻；我 们可以从中站起来的，以永不屈服、永远的 Arsenal 的身份。 (【蝙蝠侠：黑暗骑士】的台词！！"The night is darkest just before the dawn") Parting with Cesc will certainly hurt more than seeing off Samir Nasri. If rumours are to be believed, he could follow Cesc through the door marked ‘ exit’, with Manchester City ready to pay upwards of ￡20m for the midfielder. If we’re going to lose Nasri, I’d rather do it now for that sort of money than in a year for nothing. He played for France in their 1-1 draw with Chile last night, so if he is left out at Newcastle on Saturday it’ s safe to say he has little future at Arsenal. If, that is, he’s still here. Nasri 和 Cesc 一起转会比起仅是 Samir Nasri 单独离去更叫人难受。若传闻属实，他 会跟随 Cesc 走向‘离去’的转会门口，并有 ManCity 以提高至 ￡20m 的报价来等着他 加盟。若是将会失去 Nasri 的话，我宁可现在接受报价并获取收益，而不是明年让他自 由转会而什麽也没有。昨晚他代表法国国家队以 1-1 平智利，如果周六对 Newcastle 时 没有上场，才能保守地说他可能未来不在 Arsenal。否则只要他上场比赛，他还是会留下 An Arsenal executive told the BBC that “all the funds generated by the sale will be reinvested in new players”. I don’t doubt the board would be willing to do just that, but the final decision, as ever, will rest with Arsene. Will he be pragmatic enough to forget some of his principles and spend the money required to settle an unsteady ship? Time will tell. 一名 Arsenal 高官告诉 BBC “所有从转会得来的收益将用来投资新球员”。我并不怀疑 高层愿意用这笔钱去买人，但是真正买人的决定，一直以来都在 教授 身上。真的能够实 际地忘记所坚持的某些原则而敢花钱去买关键的位置来补齐战力？交给时间来说明吧。 One signing that does appear imminent is that of Joel Campbell. I told you on July 29th he’d agreed to join, and last night a Costa Rican journalist who met the U-20 international side off the plane from the World Cup in Colombia confirmed to me that Campbell intends to hold a press conference announcing his decision on Friday before travelling to England on Saturday to finalise things. The club have applied for a special talent visa as they did with Ryo Miyaichi, and, if successful, would make Campbell part of the first-team squad for 2011/12. 预期会加入枪手的转会消息，是 Joel Campbell。早在 7/29 时我就说过他同意加入枪手 ，而昨晚一名哥斯大黎加籍的记者向我证实，Campbell 有意周五当天举行记者会并宣布 消息，周六便前往英格兰完成合同。俱乐部已经申请优异球员签证，如同宫市亮(Ryo Miyaichi)的情形，若是申请成功的话，Campbell 将成为 2011/12 赛季里一线队的成员 Right, that’ll do for now. Something tells me I might be back here before the day is out. 没错，现在就开始了。我很快就会回来发文。 ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ Gunnerblog 最近发了好几篇文。 这篇是在 BBC 发布法布交易即将完成的新闻之後。 接续第二篇。:) --
