Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas told the Spanish press that the “time wasn’t right” for a move to Real Madrid yet but admitted he couldn’t last a fourth consecutive season without a trophy under his belt.
Reports in Spain suggest Madrid president Ramon Calderon, resigned to missing out on Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo, has prepared a big-money offer for the 21-year-old.
“I didn’t tell Ramon Calderon no,” he told Spanish sports daily Marca.
“I told him that now wasn’t the time to go to Madrid.
“That you are wanted by Madrid, one of the biggest teams in history, is important.”
And the young star, who feels he would be certain to lift a trophy should he opt for the Spanish champions, admits another season without any silverware could see him head for the exit door.
“To be four seasons without winning any titles would be too much for me,” Fabregas added.
“Real Madrid are the favourites to win La Liga this year.”
Fabregas could follow former Gunner Alexander Hleb to Spain, the 27-year-old Belarussian signed for Barcelona earlier this month in a big-money deal.
Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor is one of the best five strikers in the world, according to a former team-mates.
Alexander Hleb, who left the Gunners for Barcelona this summer, believes his former team-mate would be a great addition to the squad in Spain.
Adebayor has been the subject of intense transfer speculation, and Hleb told Spain’s Sport newspaper:
“He’s a very good player. He’s big, has a lot of technique and is surprisingly fast for his size
“He controls the ball very well. It would be fantastic if he could join us but I don’t know anything about it.
“Without doubt he is one of the five best strikers in the world.”
Adebayor joined Arsenal in January 2006 from French side AS Monaco for an undisclosed fee reported to be £3million.
July 27, 2008 at 4:56 pm
We are completely and utterly in the shit if we don’t win something this year.
July 27, 2008 at 4:59 pm
See ya Ade, Cesc, RvP if we don’t win anything..
July 27, 2008 at 5:00 pm
So seriously if we win mickey mouse cup he stays!??. We are in shit too cos this is no Henry leaving past his prime ,this is best midfield player on earth worth more than Ronaldo in my eyes!..
July 27, 2008 at 5:01 pm
Did anyone hear Cesc say that or is this all speculation yet again?
July 27, 2008 at 5:02 pm
yeah i’d like a video of Cesc actually saying this..
July 27, 2008 at 5:03 pm
Look at rockynewsnow.info, this isn’t speculation. I might be overreacting but I can see us battling for fourth if we don’t win anything this year.
July 27, 2008 at 5:04 pm
Papers in Spain wasn’t it?
July 27, 2008 at 5:04 pm
it doesnt make sense to me, it hits on too many contentious points to be real. Its exactly what the press would pick up on to make a devide with cesc. No trophies (surprise surprise!), spanish move for cesc (oh thats new), but still worse, a madrid move for a born and bred barca boy?
It all seems a little iffy to me to be honest.
July 27, 2008 at 5:09 pm
Yep… because the Marca is such a well respected & dignified media outlet, ain’t it people?
I guarantee, give it 3 or 4 days & Cesc will come out & refute this “threat”!
So brace yourself for days of mega speculation… and anyone who believes it all, is thicker than they look!
That is all…
July 27, 2008 at 5:12 pm
He probably will cos he is loyal unlike Pleb
July 27, 2008 at 5:13 pm
Yeah I agree with SB, why would he be flirting with Real Madrid? And everyone knows Marca is practically run by Real Madrid, only printing what their supporters want to read.
This seems like bullcrap to me. Of course, If we ended up without any silverware I think he might consider his future a bit, but I doubt it would be this serious. I think Fabregas will follow his contract.
July 27, 2008 at 5:16 pm
Well im not saying i want Fabregas to leave, but i think we got a perfect replacement for him in 2-3years time. and he is……………………RAMBO!!!!! yes aaron ramsey. trust me he definetly wont go to any spanish team.
July 27, 2008 at 5:17 pm
We did all our business before Emirates cup last year didnt we?
July 27, 2008 at 5:17 pm
Wenger and the board must make sure to buy a top star midfielder, Henry left for the same reason.. I dont blame em.
July 27, 2008 at 5:18 pm
Joe Todd – You need to stop creaming your jeans sunshine and start thinking postive
July 27, 2008 at 5:19 pm
Henry left cos he was getting towards end of career and wanted to play for Barca at some point he knew it would have to be soon cos they wouldnt want him when he was past his best
July 27, 2008 at 5:19 pm
oops – positive
July 27, 2008 at 5:25 pm
I’m not wearing any jeans?!
July 27, 2008 at 5:26 pm
Bit hard to be positive when our star player is saying he will go, but not yet.. I don’t see how this papers making this up, can’t they get sued by Cesc?
July 27, 2008 at 5:26 pm
who the ^%&* he think he is ?? Now he became VIP for arsenal,
he threatens to quit for the club that makes him a house hold name.On the other side I don’t blame him or any other player who wants to leave.It’s AW policy on running the team.He should spend the money he has properly,instead of paying the dept we’ve.He should leave that to the financial board.let them do their job.
As for Cesc,I tell you the truth,it’s always been his inner will to play in la liga when he reach at certain age first playing for Madrid and finish his playing crear for Barcelona.He’s smart.
Unless arsenal break the wage structure,unless the so-called-billionaire interfere in the club hugely,……..our club is in crisis.If you don’t win trophy because you don’t spend money on established player and if you don’t increase a wage for the current player……..the consequence will be sever…….for that I would say ……………. welcome to modern football.
July 27, 2008 at 5:29 pm
Very true, Marca could be sued by Cesc for slander.
I think the interview did take place, but whether Cesc was misquoted or not is another question.
July 27, 2008 at 5:31 pm
Marca is the mouth piece for Real. They have been shown up by their pursuit of Cronaldo, that deal looks doomed, so obviously they need to save face and try and show they can get who they want.
This story is bullshit, I have no doubt.
Taking the Madrid media seriously is a dumb idea.
July 27, 2008 at 5:34 pm
Gooner Chris;
Do you understand solander?
Marca haven’t slated Cesc, or said he likes dressing up in women’s clothing. There would be 100’s of slander cases if every football story that misquoted a player/manager was taken seriously.
July 27, 2008 at 5:34 pm
Fuck ‘im, overrated slow prick anyway…
Aaron will be 10 times better AND we ‘ll get 100 million euros from those fools in Spain, so actually , why wait?
I say sell the cunt now!
DO YOU LIKE GIVING INTERVIEWS TO MARCA PRACTICALLY ASKING REAL TO BID FOR YOU NEXT YEAR?
FUCK OFF FROM NOW BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY THEN!
DISLOYAL
FUCKIN’
DWARF!
July 27, 2008 at 5:44 pm
Please buy a strong central mid and central defender Arsene if
you are listen. We are arguably weaker since last season
and certainly numbers wise so as optimistic as i am i think we could
come up short yet again.
Can we really rely on senderos up against drogbas/torres and santa cruz when others are injured i dont think we can.
July 27, 2008 at 5:44 pm
I don’t understand solander mate, no. 😉
Slander can be anything from false & misleading information (which could be Cesc’s case) to malicious and alienation of affections.
July 27, 2008 at 5:46 pm
only a succeesful season and a russian take over would save us from a summer of hell next summer
and this summer has been bad enough
July 27, 2008 at 6:04 pm
I don’t trust any paper, I don’t even trust what comes out of people’s mouths. Just ignore what you hear and just wait to see what happens. Some things will be true, some will not. This just smells really iffy, I don’t care how many people have jumped on the one story, it’s still fishy.
July 27, 2008 at 6:08 pm
I didn’t realise barca made hleb a player/scout/arsenal player unsettler when he joined them, 1st he wants cesc to join them and now he’s talking about ade. Does he not think how the fans feel when he touts these players???
July 27, 2008 at 6:12 pm
Let’s be honest Marca are cunts. Didn’t they say a couple years back that Fabregas was signing for Madrid and he didn’t and back when Wenger was yet to sign a contract they said he was having meetings with another lying shitbag called Calderon. It’s rubbish Cesc has had opportunities to say he interested in moving and he never has. He’s smart and not swayed by money or rumours.
July 27, 2008 at 6:13 pm
fuck sake, someone shut Hleb up.
July 27, 2008 at 6:14 pm
I don’t know about anyone else but no way do I want a Russian who does not care two hoots about the club taking over however much money he’s got. No way is he right for the club and he sees it as an investment to make him money as he has declared publicly. We shouldn’t be after a quick fix all the time and keep to our principles while taking the money needed in modern football in consideration when budgeting our wages for future.
July 27, 2008 at 6:29 pm
I can’t believe where sitting here dishing on Cesc. We should be putting our anger towards the board. He won EU Championship this summer and he has that winning feeling. Why shouldn’t he want to keep it? i’m so fucking sick and tired of our youth mentality. And fuck being positive for the sake of being positive, if we don’t get three quality signing we are not going to win anything of importance this year, and I don’t blame anyone else but AFC for making that happen
July 27, 2008 at 6:38 pm
I think its made up again theyve done it many times. Remember earlier this transfer window where Freddie supposidly critisised Wenger for the way he let him go to West Ham? A couple of days later Freddie comes out saying he never even gave the newspaper an interview!! Also alot of times they change the wording and nick bits from other parts of an interview i.e. Wenger about Nasri transfer where people added what Wenger said about price differences in France and Britain being less to the reason for the transfer not taking place yet.
July 27, 2008 at 6:53 pm
Anyone calling for that fat russian rapist to take over the club is a clueless glory hunting c*nt.
Gooner Chris; Yeah of course players and managers are always taking legal action that takes up loads of time and money over misquoting an interview.
Right you are mate!
July 27, 2008 at 6:57 pm
hes one of the best 5 strikers in the world Alex because AW turned
him from average to very good, just like he did with you
you fucking mug
July 27, 2008 at 7:08 pm
Its MARCA, the paper often just prints what Real Madrid want them to print.
July 27, 2008 at 7:15 pm
Haha Marca
I Laugh Fabregas Is The Last Person That Will Leave Arsenal Its Just Speculation If Were True I Would Like To See A Video
A Gooner Chris Any News On That Midfielder Wengers Looking For
July 27, 2008 at 7:37 pm
Talking about loyalty , The only One whos Really Loyal to The Club is Toure Forget Fabregas Or ade, plus I wonder why ain’t the time right to go to Madrid cesy? Oh well If he wanna to go Let him Hit the road im Honestly sick and Tired or hearing some players talking about loyalty blah blah blah , then they always make excuses In advance To leave …….. If he goes It isn’t The end of The Frigging world ….
July 27, 2008 at 7:39 pm
Plus i don’t think there is any truth to that after all its Just the Marca , piece Of Crap
July 27, 2008 at 7:43 pm
Agree with tristan, there’s so much young talent coming up through the youth ranks, not only ant arsenal, everywhere.
July 27, 2008 at 7:44 pm
i meant not only at arsenal :S
July 27, 2008 at 7:54 pm
and To be Honest I Believe in This Young Side , But I Just Hope nothing Like Last Year will Happen, and To be honest 4 Seasons Running with out a Trophy is Hard To Take even as a Supporter… I Sincerely Hope we will Something This Season ……….. Amen
July 27, 2008 at 8:00 pm
Hi gooners, I am getting fed up wit Arsenal FC’s board, wage structure and transfer dealings. Arsenal will be a feeder club for years 2 come and all the stars will leave in turns every summer in search of trophies and better contracts. Open ur eyes fellow gunners coz there is something going on in the finance section, Arsenal is not gonna win any silverware soon ‘FACT’.
July 27, 2008 at 8:00 pm
WIN ….LOL
July 27, 2008 at 8:06 pm
I don’t doubt the quotes are real — none of them honestly sound unbelievable. What I don’t believe are the implications created by the ordering and context of the quotes.
Example: Fabregas may have commented on Real Madrid, and as a top player, it’s not unusual to comment on happenings across football. But the quote “To be four seasons without winning any titles would be too much for me. Real Madrid are the favourites to win La Liga this year,” sounds to be two separate quips shoved together to give the implication that Cesc will leave without a trophy. Four seasons without winning titles could very well be too much, and Real Madrid may be favourites, but this doesn’t mean Cesc is saying he will be off to Madrid if Arsenal fail to win trophies this year. The sentences may have been several minutes apart — and when you combine things like that, you can make anything seem possible.
This is essentially yet another case of shoddy journalism — or purposely misleading journalism, maybe sponsored by a certain Spanish club with big ties to a certain paper reporting these claims. Overreaction, alienating Cesc, etc., will only lead to further problems. Jesus, people, think a little before you call for his head.
July 27, 2008 at 8:08 pm
Anyone who believes this “story” or is slating Cesc, is a muggy little cunt and obviously doesn’t know ANYTHING about football.
How many times does Marca come out with bullshit stories about our players (and everyone else’s’ for that matter)… and it turns out to be shite?
I would have thought people would have had enough brain cells to finally see this… but cunts like greek gooner & others can’t get that through their thick skulls!
ANYONE WHO BELIEVES THIS STORY… DESERVES TO BE A PARANOID WRECK!
Unless it’s on arsenal.com or actual quotes from a respectable media outlet… I’m laughing it off!
Get a grip, you supposed “Gooners”… FUCKS SAKE!!!
July 27, 2008 at 8:24 pm
Anyone That Believes This Statement Is As Big Of A Fool As The Next Idiot And Anyone That Thinks We Need Benzema, David Villa, Arshavin, Eto, {Zidane And Beckham- Jus Joking} Your An Idiot
July 27, 2008 at 8:40 pm
@Jay,
why don’t you go and support chealsea? They suit you perfectly with Russian owner. F***ing idiot!
July 27, 2008 at 8:42 pm
Remember, Darren Dein is his agent and presently maybe negotiating for a contract extension to 2016 as suggested by Wenger.
Perhaps with a 100-mil buyout clause in it as well?
Fabregas has a contract till 2014.
Can he use the Webster Clause to break the contract?
Arsene Wenger will not even think of seling him now.
But after World Cup 2010, and Fabregas becomes one of the best midfielder in the world, that is when Wenger will consider selling an unhappy player who wanted to return to Spain…..for 100-mil quids.
Adn we have Ramsey, Wilshere, and hopefully those other English lads like Lansbury, Randall, Gibbs, Jay Thomas, RHys Murphy and French player like Diaby, Coquelin..Dutch player barazite…..and Barazilian players Denilson, Botelho……..are ready and we will not miss Fabrgas in 2010/11 season.
Wonder how loyal is Frans Merida when he became as good as Fabregas?
Jump to Barca when they come a calling for him as well?
Guess we understand why Wenger “over-stocks” the Academy with so many youngsters as he knew that repalcements must be in place in case of another “Reyes Saga” again……and Frans Merida is the naturally succesor to Fabregas a few years back.
But we got Ramsey, Wilshere now plus….Merida in case Fabregas had a change of heart….after all those badge kissings……..
July 27, 2008 at 8:49 pm
And this is the guy who everyone wants to make captain of arsenal.What an absolute joke that has come out of his mouth,What he has come out and said somes it all up for me.WILLIAM GALLAS FOR CAPTAIN OF ARSENAL……….
July 27, 2008 at 8:51 pm
Sh*t dam! How easily people buy into this bull. Real are using Cesc to try and claw back some standing after losing face with their failed Ronaldo signing.
They and barca think every effin player wants to join them and they can snap their fingers to get a player.
July 27, 2008 at 8:52 pm
Guess its bye bye cesc at the end of the season cause even you Arsene knows fools will never believe that this team will win anything. But dont worry guys, at least mr Wenger will make another 12 mill for our beloved board. The player is worth 4 times that amount but Wenger hasnt a clue so he’ll be robbed again. Im sure we all trust dear Arsene to sighn up another 15 year old to replace Fab. You cant knock Fabregas for wanting sucess, I like him want success but unfortunately theres only one club for me but as long as our so called genius wenger hangs around milking us then theres fuck all chance of success. But hey, what the fuck, at least we play attractive football you say, well to you guys I say go fuck off.
July 27, 2008 at 8:55 pm
Dwane Dibbly son, they can snap their fucking fingers and take our players every time, where the fuck have you been the last few years. Pity they wouldnt take Wenger so we could get a manager in with some balls and guts, but hang on, would they fuck want him, you need to win things at the big clubs so we’re stuck with the cunt
July 27, 2008 at 8:57 pm
Paulie
Aw diddums you spoilt likkle brat. Oh what a fun guy you must be, bet your social diary is chocka innit?
Fuckin sly sports media fed sheep, glory hunting tabloid headline eater. What are you on about?
You are a footbal hacks dream, lappin up all the crap in the papers.
July 27, 2008 at 9:00 pm
Now isnt the time to leave lolllllllllllllllllllll….So when will it be cesc when the tough gets going when we really need you just like some other prick t.h.
July 27, 2008 at 9:45 pm
How can people call him disloyal??
Who wants to be at a club that dont win anything? Its gonna happen some time or another as the clubs ambitions are not what they should be.. fix up or loose out big time..
July 27, 2008 at 10:33 pm
Inler has agreed terms with us and is set to join up with the squad in Austia.
I’ve not heard a lot about him, anyone know if he is a Flamini type player?
Source: Wikipedia
July 27, 2008 at 10:43 pm
I, applaud Cesc for his views, why would he want to stick around at a club that has absolutely NO ambition? Arsenals & Wengers goal each season is challenge for a top 4 spot to get the money from Champions League football and thats it! The chances of winning anything this season are even worse than last season and the previous two.
Cesc, stay this season and give a good account of your self (as you usually do) and I will be the first to help you pack you bags at the end of the season and go to a club that is going to match your potential because Arsenal wont.
Its the board and that cunt Wenger that are to blame, HE is the one that says we will be selling our best players for the next 17 years, Cesc is only taking up his rightful position as the next player out the door. AND I dont blame him!
July 27, 2008 at 10:45 pm
Mike
Anyone Could Have Wrote
July 27, 2008 at 10:47 pm
But still, something to get excited about… and then fall down again when we sign another teenager!
July 27, 2008 at 10:57 pm
Didnt i tell you so.I almost frightened myself with another look at the future………..we are crumbling and we are crumbling big time……….and all the time the management and leader Mr.Wenger treats these mercenaries with kid gloves we will experience this from every joe,jack and dick.When they are given the chance they praise Wenger and call Arsenal the best club in the world and then as soon as Barca or Real Madrid come knocking they drop their drawers like a cheap whore…….disgraceful.The modern day footballer as loyal as a one dollar whore.
July 27, 2008 at 11:06 pm
Money talks.Chelsea are about to spend yet another 1 billion and United are setting up another 600 million pounds of spending how much longer can we keep up.Wenger have performed miracles but our squad are thin and getting thinner are we gonna keep this tight fisted for another 17 years then it will be a real problem.Wenger himself once stated that it could be problem if other teams keep spending money and we dont.
July 27, 2008 at 11:07 pm
I fucking hate Madrid. I hate them with a fuckin passion. They don’t make players like we do, they let other teams develop them and then come in with offers of money and promises through the media. Thy’ve done it for years and I’m sick of it. Calderon is a cunt who made piss promises when he was trying to get elected. He promised Kaka, Fabregas and Robben. Wow he’s a man to be trusted. Here I’ll make a promise to you fine Gooners and if I’m wrong Find me and shit on me. I promise in the next couple of weeks Arsenal will sign either one of a defensive midfielder, a striker, a goal keeper or a lolly popman. Now one is realistically possible. This is what people like Calderon, Laporta and that Mafia prick at Milan do. Unsettle.
I’m starting to sound like a bit of a dick now.
July 27, 2008 at 11:40 pm
well fact is that any foreign player that originates from a league just as big as the premier league, would want to go back to his home land. fabregas came to arsenal to make a name for himself, as merida. and when they are spotted doing well by real or barca they’ll make a move back to the LALA LIGA. but i think cesc had second thoughts and so decided that maybe he could be something at arsenal. but then as you have seen players will always want to go back to their homelands no matter what.
if you played for arsenal but you found it hard in the reserves, and so barcelona came to get you would you join? ofcourse you would as you would feel like they need you and you would have a better chance of making it there. then when you have finally at the age of about 22 have made the first team of barca, and then arsenal your lifelong team come after you with an offer to good to turn down, wouldnt you go????
yes you would because england is where you belong, and with your lifelong favourite team. what else could you want.
hmmm makes you wonder doesnt it.
July 28, 2008 at 2:18 am
c’mon people… Put yourself in Fabregas’ shoes. You have great talent, you love the club (Arsenal) and they have made you who you are today. However, he must look at his own career as well. All WINNERS likes to win whether its just one game or a whole cabinet of trophies.
If Arsenal do not win a silverware for another season, it’ll not only unsettle Fabregas but Wenger will have enormous pressure on his job. This is serious, whether or not Fabregas said those words. Can you blame a player for having a higher ambition? If you’re Cesc, would you stay for another 5 years and (touchwood) and win nothing again and again with the team getting younger each year?
Look at it as an employment, if your company only shows potential and not gain success, you’ll be frust too and think of alternatives to futher advance your career. Right, no?
Right now, Arsene and Arsenal needs to show ambition and I mean stop looking into the future and future and then future again. The club needs ‘stop-gap’ success as well. For the very reason of keeping our star players and also attracting other star players to come.
I’m not saying we have to spend 30 mil on a player, but rather get players who comes with experience rather than youngsters which i think we already have a lot and they should get their chance.
July 28, 2008 at 7:19 am
You bunch of fucking ungrateful cunts! You new breed of “Gooners” make me sick! I bet 90% of you don’t go matches… U just buy the new kit every year & use Arsenal on PES or Championship Manager… And then call yourself loyal! Thank fuck u little mugs are only the minority and don’t represent the club properly! Anyone slating Wenger, the board, calling for Usmanov the rapist & wanting to get in debt like the Chavs & the Munichs… IF SUPPORTING OUR CLUB IS GETTING TO HARD OVER THESE PAST 3 YEARS (IN WHICH WE GOT TO THE C.L. FINAL, C.C. FINAL WITH KIDS & BLEW A 5 POINT LEAD BECAUSE OF INJURIES & BOLLOCKS DECISIONS), THEN FUCK OFF & SUPPORT CHAVSKI!!! THEY NEED ALL THE LITTLE GLORY SEEKING CUNTS, AS THEY CAN GET! BUNCH OF CUNTS!!!
July 28, 2008 at 11:21 am
weve had this all summer, questions about barrys, ronaldos (not entirely unjustified) and fabregas loyalties to their clubs. we even had it with gerrard. fact is that players want to win things, want to write their names into the history books. if arsenal dont win anything next year (not that they wont, they have as good a chance as any) thats four years as the article says. its a long time to wait when as a player, you KNOW you can win things. gerrard for example, was on the brink of going the year before the champions league win. only when he was told we were going to strengthen did he stay.
players having ‘loyalty’ is very well, but in our terms its like going from mcdonalds to an buisness executive somewhere (nots: this comparison is not arsenal to real madrid, just a random comparison) more oppurtunity, able to do more with your life. hell, could get some good players for the money you get from the fab gas
July 28, 2008 at 11:41 am
can you really see us winning the prem this year? we wern’t good enough last year. and if anything we are going to be weaker this year.
we’ve got less experience, and as rosicky said; the mid field we had last year (Hleb Flamini Cesc Tom) had a telepathic understanding.
it’ll be hard to get that groove again. I just hope cesc doesn’t leave.
July 28, 2008 at 12:18 pm
http://www.arsenal.com/article.asp?thisNav=News&article=494481&lid=NewsHeadline&Title=Fabregas+-+Some+people+are+just+trying+to+make+mischief
Everyone follow this link – Marca was telling bullshit and Fabrebas has made a statement to put the record straight. Fucking dickheads Marca. Fabregas is a class guy and would never bull shit arsenal for anyone!!
July 28, 2008 at 12:19 pm
He didnt even have a fucking interview with Marca!!!
July 28, 2008 at 12:27 pm
I knew it!!!!!!
July 28, 2008 at 12:32 pm
Wow! that is what i call an excellent professional 🙂 Straight rebut on the statement. Henry used to do that too, until his head got turned and packed.
The club has seen other pros who really behave like professionals when it comes to things like this such as Dennis Bergkamp who played on even with 1 year contracts and Gilberto who gave it all even if he had to sit on the bench and lose his captaincy. Cesc will be another model pro for Arsenal’s modern history under Wenger.
July 28, 2008 at 12:38 pm
Wenger is still a cunt. Time he pissed off now and let someone else have a go, someone who has no interest in making this board of hungry leeches more money and someone who dont make himself the highest paid manager in the premier league while at the same time putting on the crying mouth and refusing to pay the going rate for players. Dont anyone fool themselves about Cesc, he will be gone soon and who can blame him, what top player would want to stay and know they were going to win fuck all
July 28, 2008 at 1:28 pm
Great news!!
July 28, 2008 at 1:29 pm
Typical fucking Marca.
July 28, 2008 at 1:34 pm
btw, its funny why there’s news about us bidding for victor moses… but aren’t we looking for an established midfielder to partner Fabregas?
July 28, 2008 at 1:59 pm
hey chris, you jumped the gun on this story…but good to cesc clear it out the very next day…shows his maturity.
Cheers
July 28, 2008 at 2:17 pm
nasri is in the squad for the game tonight…its up on his site.
July 28, 2008 at 4:21 pm
Dont matter if he made that statement as he will still leave if were not matching he’s ambitions..
I hope we set our priorities straight & focus on football & not business..
