Wenger ignores Barca 'noise'

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger claims there is no substance to continued reports linking Cesc Fabregas with Barcelona.
The Gunners skipper has become embroiled in a long-running transfer saga which has dragged on all summer, and shows no sign of dying down.
Barca have made it clear that they want to return Fabregas .... to his Catalan roots, and the Spanish schemer is reportedly keen to make such a move.
However, Arsenal .... are reluctant to part with their talismanic captain and have stubbornly refused to discuss a deal.

Important

That remains their stance at present, with Wenger confident Fabregas will still be at his disposal for the 2010/11 campaign.
"There are still noises from Barcelona, .... but that is all it is," said the Frenchman, after hearing the Primera Liga champions again express their annoyance at the stalemate on Tuesday.
"In our job you don't worry about things you cannot control.
"We are very happy with Cesc at the club. He is a very important player and is our captain. We have worked very hard with him."

....

....

IF he wants to go let him. Don't force him to stay, he'll play shit and get all petulant about it. Take the money (and any players in the deal) and run.

Good player, yes. But if his heart isn't in Arsenal, let him go.


DJ OD

I agree with DJ O, if he stays another season he will play shite and his value will drop. offload him now and get top price for him then wenger can rebuild

It's just turning into another Veria situation. I think Cesc is the nuts but if he wants gone then let him go. He'll only regret it when he ends up on the bench at Barca week-in, week-out/

I dont see why they want him to be honest he couldnt force his way into the Spanish squad which consists of the same midfield players.

He's better being a main player at Arsenal than a Barca sub surely.

I agree mate, but he did make an impact when he came on in those games.
I agree though, depends how bad he actually wants to play football rather than watch it from the sidelines.
