OK, not really. But the mayor of his hometown is now seriously claiming that Arsenal have snatched him. Even though Cesc willingly signed a contract with them and they're not keeping him in a basement with his hands tied to a radiator. And they're paying him very well. But none of that matters to the mayor of a small town whose opinion is totally irrelevant to this tedious matter!

From the Guardian:

"We want him to come right away, he is experiencing a kidnapping," Estanislau Fors i Garcia, the mayor of the Catalan town Arenys de Mar where Fábregas grew up, was quoted as saying in the Barcelona-based daily newspaper Sport.
"If the English are so honourable they should behave properly," he added. "He [the Arsenal coach Arsène Wenger] has to stop clowning around because it's disorienting for all of us."


The only thing disorienting here is how ridiculous these statements are. How can a man who has nothing to do with any of this accuse others of not behaving properly when he's making accusations of kidnapping?
After seeing those pictures of Arsene Wenger going down the boat slide, I think this guy does have a point about the Arsenal manager's "clowning around," though. Actually, that was pretty disorienting for all of us, too.
