Arsene Wenger insists http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-Maseru-c38430 are not ready to off-load Cesc Fabregas
Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger has gone on to hit back at the rumours that stated that Arsenal were looking to off-load Cesc Fabregas in the summers, and has stated that the team is not looking to get rid of the player just yet.
The Gunners are currently to see the rest of the season out without lifting a single trophy for the sixth year in a row. The team is currently sitting in the third spot in the league and are nine points behind league leaders, Manchester United.
As a result, the team is virtually out of the title race and having been eliminated of every other cup contest, the Gunners are now only playing out the rest of the season for pride. Due to this very reason, it was believed that Fabregas would be looking
to make a move out of the Emirates, in order to quench his thirst to lift a trophy of some sort.
However, Wenger has come forth and stated that he is not looking to sell any of his players, unless he feels it is necessary to do so.
When talking to the press, Wenger is reported to have said, "We are not on the transfer market. We do not want to sell our players - so all the players who have contracts will stay here unless we decide otherwise."
The manager then went on to add, "We want to keep our best players. This is a subject that in fairness is not very creative. We have answered that in nearly 80% of our press conferences and at some stage it has to stop, because the past has shown that this
question is useless."
It is safe to say, that by now Wenger has started to grow a little ticked off with all the rumours linking his captain with a move to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604. Fabregas has in the past stated that he would like to someday return to Barcelona, but he has also stated that
his upmost priority is to win some silverware for Arsenal.
Nonetheless, with that being said, most experts are taking a completely different take on this and are still stating that Fabregas is going to be on his way out of the team at the end of the season, irrelevant of what Wenger is saying.
This is because according to numerous insider sources, the team has placed a value of around 35 million pounds on the midfielder already, and should the Catalan club match that valuation, then there is very little that Wenger can do to stop the move from
going through.
