Cesc is staying at Arsenal!

7 August 2010

After months of transfer speculation ,Cesc Fabregas released an official statement yesterday on Arsenal’s website, committing himself to the club:

“Firstly I would like to apologise to all the Arsenal fans for not speaking sooner about my future but I have not known what I was going to do until this moment.

“I cannot deny that joining a club like Barcelona was not an attractive move for me. This was the club where I learnt my football, it is my home town where my friends and family are and a club where I have always dreamed of playing. There are not many players in this world who would not want to play for Barcelona.

“I have had many conversations with Arsène Wenger both in person and over the phone over the last few months and although the content of those conversations will remain private, the conclusion is that Barcelona have had two formal offers rejected by Arsenal.

“I am a professional and I fully understand that it is Arsenal’s prerogative not to sell me.

“I owe a lot to the Club, manager and the fans and I will respect their decision and will now concentrate on the new season ahead with Arsenal.

“I can assure all the fans that now the negotiations have ended I will be 100 percent focused on playing for Arsenal.

“I am an Arsenal player and as soon as I step out on to the pitch, that is the only club I will be thinking about.

“I am looking forward to the start of the season and putting this speculation behind me.

Thoughts on the statement?I’m happy with the statement, because he was honest about everything rather than trying to sugarcoat things.

    in some ways he should join braca on a loan, a few months of sitting on the bench and being the butt of xavi, puyols and insttiua’s joke and of course the unwanted attention from pique. he’ll soon get fed up and see what everybody else see’s. that the grass is never greener on the other side, better to be a fan then play for them and that these “friends” are real but plastics.
    anyways i read that we’ve got someone close to him on our side. Carla has said that she likes london and doesn’t want to move. (she works here i think). this is not the first time i’ve read this and cesc said a similar thing in an interview.
    CESC LISTEN TO YOUR FANS, MANAGER AND CARLA!

    i do belive he’ll give his all and lead us to glory!
