Fabregas: "I'm an Arsenal player & I'm very happy there"
Cesc Fabregas has finally spoken on his future at Arsenal this summer, telling Spanish reporters that ‘Barcelona are great club’ but he is ‘happy at Arsenal’.
The 23-year-old came through the Barca youth ranks before joining Arsenal as 16-year-old in 2003 and he has been linked with a return to his former side for the last three seasons.
Fabregas admitted his frustration at the Gunners’ repeated failure to win some silvereware but said he believed the club had the resources to end their barren run.
“A player who is not frustrated at not winning titles is either lying to himself or lacks ambition,” he said.
“There is a good team and a good manager and one of the most faithful fan bases in Europe. With those I believe we can make progress and one day win an important trophy.”
“I’m an Arsenal player, I’m very happy there and there’s nothing more. The rest is speculation. He (Wenger) is the boss, the one who makes the decisions. You should ask him. I was injured at the end of the season and I haven’t seen him for about six weeks.
“Barcelona are a great club, the best in the world, and playing there is a guarantee to win but I’m part of Arsenal.”
you can tell cesc desperately wants to go to barcelona but at least he goes about it in a dignified manner… wish more of our players had this respect for the club
i guess the media will just use the line
‘Barcelona are great club’
Lets hope he is happy enough to say he is staying and put this to bed once for all, i think most people are fed up with it going on and on. Yes i want him to stay and i am sure most fans do But if he is going to go then go now and lets plan for the future.
Nice…!
this goes to show that there’s power at Arsenal and that we are still the best. I’m happy that he finally says this though it won’t be a problem for us if he can go there as long as we know that he respects Arsenal as a team and as his employer. Good luck boy all the best in the future.
i think cesc and nasri will stay providing arsene buys good players to challenge for trophies…Go GOONERS!
AW shoulda let him go last yr, taken £50m for him and got Hazard! Watch how he’ll end up @ Barca and we’ll keep Cesc (not what we need!) Nasri to take over Cesc’s role, Hazard replaces Nasri, a couple of decent CB’s in Jan Vorteagnon and Samba or Cahill, another DM to play with/in place of Song, and allow a few ‘youngsters’ to come through, Ryo, Bartley, JET, title winning side if we can keep RVP fit! oh, and Falcoa (we can dream!!
Sunny, u r right! They hav already hyped up that ‘he has admitted frustration’…!
hey cesc ur the best captain of arsenal!!!!! proud to b a gooner!!
what a punishment for his talent if he still plays week in week out with this current squad of arsenal players. He deserves the best and sincerely barca is the best so far..Go Fab! Fulfill your dream! How could he be rated among arsenal legends without winning trophies with the club,..these same fans would one day look back and say ”how could he be an arsenal legend when he only won the FA cup”
…….Arsenal is capitulating……
Fabregas..a class act.
Fab will be here next season i think, so will some new players. If we feel were heartbroken look at Atsenes face and tell me how you would feel. I feel were on the brink of something big! i urge All Gooners to stay focused and defend the football we play the players and the manager. Hope Cesc gets a good hol and then comes back fit and redy to dust out the trophy cabinet,barca style and win everytthing we can!!!
Will he and won’t he saga continues….
everyone knows his oppinion, sooner or later he will join barca, because thats his dream. but i praise the fact that he doesnt pressure wenger and his team mates-if barca come with a good offer, he will be glad to go, id they dont, he remains arsenal player and he will be glad too. lets wait and see what is going to happen, imo if barca dont come with an offer untill pre-season, cesc will be arsenal player next season!
Nice try, this quote is from weeks ago
