He was offered a better contract early last year, which he and his agent stalled on. He had other offers during the Summer, early on it was United, but at City they are more than doubling what Arsenal could offer. He clearly went for the money, not that there is anything wrong that to be honest.
As for how he handled it. He was left out of both Champions League games at his own request, it's hard to judge because there are so few leaks from Arsenal no one every knows what is actually happening.

Fabregas was also honest about his situation though. Everyone knew he was a Barcelona fan, a product of their youth system, someone whose childhood friends were at a club that is accepted as the best in the world. He never denied he would one day want to return, and he always gave his best when a deal failed to materialise as it did last season.
