'Cesc loves to talk about Arsenal' says Barça defender Pique
Barcelona defender Gerard Pique says his team-mate Cesc Fabregas still speaks very highly of his former club Arsenal and ‘loves to talk about’ the Gunners.
The 25-year-old left Catalan giants Barça aged 16 to join Arsene Wenger’s side but returned to Camp Nou in 2011 following protracted transfer negotiations.
Fabregas, who recently said he wants to retire at Barcelona, was linked with a move back to Emirates Stadium recently and Pique revealed his compatriot ‘loves to talk’ about his time in north London.
“We [Barcelona squad] talk about van Persie and Rooney”, Pique told Football Focus.
“Fabregas loves to talk about Arsenal but we say they have no chance of winning the title this season!”
Ex-Arsenal skipper Fabregas played a pivotal role in midfield during his eight years at the club, but has been forced to play second fiddle to Barcelona’s Xavi and Andreas Iniesta regularly over the past few seasons.
Despite that, he has still made 29 appearances for Tito Villanova’s team this season, scoring eight goals.
his goal v milan at the san siro!
The first six years.
His goal away at the San Siro. I will never forget the look on his face when he ran across the pitch & gave Wenger a hug. A true legend.
Cesc beating the whole spurs team and scoring right after van persie scored the opener.
The penalty against Barcelona, despite being injured, amidst claims that he was leaving Arsenal. Gunner at heart
That goal against Spurs where he waltzed through the whole team straight from the kickoff.
His first start in the champions league. flicked it over the defender and volleyed it in.
I hope he has a shave sometime soon…….Not a good!
Shame we will never see him don an arsenal shirt again.
In hindsight i do think that he may believe that staying with us for 1-2 more seasons would have put him better stead interms of game time and adulation. the fact that he still talks fondly of us speaks volumes about whats in his heart. GOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNERRRRRRRR!!!!
You don’t know what you’ve got until its gone cesc! He should have translated into Latin and have it tattooed on his arm
Chucking pizza in fergie’s face!
You(Cesc) legend! Came and build ur PALACE inside the Emerates.
Wearing BFC’s jersey for the world cup celebration. Traidor!
Shut it Pique, you horse faced troglodyte. No one cares about you and what comes out of your horribly gigantic, misshapen mouth.
The number of great players that Wenger has driven away from the club is unbelievable.
A sign of a bad manager, the number of great players Utd have lost is so small we all know it; Ronaldo!
I can’t think of any other top names that forced their way out, too much respect for their manager.
The list of top Arsenal players that either forced their way out or were sold before their time is a long one.
This speaks volumes about the respective managers man management skills.
A TRUE ARSENAL LREGEND. MISS HIM!
Those hamstrings
Once a gooner always a gooner!
coming off the bench to score two goal, one from free kick against the villa side and back to treatment room being on the field only for 20 min that was wonderful
wat a great legend fab ws to us.we really miss u dude.we love you.
So what ? Who really cares to know this ?
Champion league game against juventus when he run the show in midfield.
His backheel to Messi on the edge of the penalty box, although he still had an Arsenal shirt on, which to led to Barcelona’s opening goal just before half time.
Cesc my favourit player in an arsenal shirt after wilshere. I miss him
Remember when he came off the bench injured against villa at the emirates, scored 2 goals and came back off again. Won the game
Class
Hope he comes back
Yeah, eff him. Forcing the move and mysteriously injured and unable to train. I haven’t forgotten his eff up in front of our box away at barcacheater anf playing injured and compromising the team in that match.

a great arsenal player,not a legend though!
Good riddance to fabregas sick of hearing about him,he left,get over him hes not coming back, by the way a true legend plays his whole career at one club.
Cesc left for the same reasons all the other good players left. The club has no ambition. It’s not a football club its a rip off
