Cesc Fabregas not for sale - Wood

No comments  

Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood insists Cesc Fabregas will not be leaving the club after the Gunners captain was linked with AC Milan.

Following the departures of Kolo Toure and Emmanuel Adebayor to Manchester City, reports had claimed that Fabregas could be the next big name to leave Emirates Stadium.

Italian giants Milan were rumoured to be planning a �30million bid for the Spain international, who is under contract to Arsenal until 2014.

However, Hill-Wood has ruled out selling the 22-year-old and is confident Fabregas does not want to leave the Premier League club.

Hill-Wood said: "There is absolutely no chance of us selling Cesc and all this talk is just fabrication.

"This sort of thing crops up from time to time and it is something we are perfectly used to. Cesc is happy at Arsenal, as far as I am aware."

Arsenal have only signed Thomas Vermaelen over the summer, but Hill-Wood says manager Arsene Wenger can have money to spend on further additions.

He added: "We are pretty happy with the players we have got.

"Everyone says we've got a very small squad, but we played a lot of youngsters in the Emirates Cup and not one of them looked out of place.

"Arsene is talking about adding one or two to the squad and there is a certain amount of money he has to spend.

"If Arsene wanted to buy a decent player he could, as long as the figure was not ridiculous."

Arsenal 1 vs 0 Hannover

No comments  


Cesc Fabregas stuck early to round off the Gunners mini-Euro tour with another win.
The skipper's ninth minute goal was enough to see off the challenge of Hanover 96 despite this proving the toughest test for Arsene Wenger's young side so far.

The confirmation of Kolo Toure's departure to Man City, didn't throw Arsenal off their stride and they played their usual brand of neat, attractive football.





Robin van Persie was the provider for Fabregas, who latched on to his reverse pass to sidestep the goalkeeper Robert Enke and tuck away a finish.

Andrey Arshavin could have doubled the advantage but was thwarted by Enke, and Van Persie and Nicklas Bendtner also came close as the visitors controlled proceedings throughout.

Wenger was literally given an armchair chair ride - from a real armchair pitch side - to watch the action from in Hanover's impressive AMD Arena.

Arsenal's are now looking to regain the Emirates Cup this weekend.

Thierry Henry says Cesc Fabregas must stay

No comments  

Thierry Henry has told Arsenal they must do everything in their power to hold on to Cesc Fabregas.

The Spanish midfielder has been linked with a £40million move away from the Emirates, with European giants Barcelona, Real Madrid and AC Milan all keen on signing him.

And with the Gunners having failed to land a trophy since their FA Cup triumph in 2005, speculation has mounted that Fabregas, 22, could be tempted away from the club.

Last month, Fabregas criticised the Gunners over their lack of silverware, calling the club 'impotent'.

But former Arsenal ace Henry — now at Barcelona himself — has warned Arsene boss Arsene Wenger he cannot afford to lose his skipper.

Henry said: "It is vital Arsenal keep Cesc. Vital.

"He is the Arsenal captain and he is young and I'm sure he wants to give something back to the club. Knowing him, he will.

"But it is vital they keep Cesc."

Henry, 31, insists if the Gunners can keep Fabregas at the club, they have a squad capable of challenging for honours next season — despite being unable to compete with the Premier League's big spenders in the transfer market.

He added: "When I talk about Arsenal, my heart will always rule my head. It is not easy to lose [Emmanuel] Adebayor and what happened to [Samir] Nasri was not what Arsene would have been hoping for.

"But I hope they can win the league and win everything they can, that's always my feeling about my old club.

"What I know about Arsenal from my time there was not about finishing in the top four — it was about winning the league.

"That's how I saw it when I was there and I still see it like that, they are a big club. Arsene has proved so many times he can win things without spending a lot of money and hopefully they can do it again.

"The only thing that matters to me is not who is in the top four, it's who is going to be top and I know that's how Arsene sees it too."

Henry also moved to dismiss rumours he could one day return to the Premier League, with megabucks Manchester City said to be keen on signing him.

Asked if he would ever return to England, the Frenchman added: "No. You guys were talking a lot about that for me!

"Seriously, I had a difficult first season here but when we won the Treble we had a very special bond on the pitch.

"I wasn't happy enough with what I did in my first season at Barcelona and I wasn't happy with some of the games I played in last season when we won the Treble. It's just the way I am.

"There's a lot of pressure at Barcelona and it's not always easy, but trust me, it is enjoyable."
