Wenger – Barcelona are hypocrites about Fabregas

Posted on February 15, 2011 by admin

Arsene Wenger has reacted to yesterday’s statement from the ex-Barcelona president Joan Laporta, who said that Fabregas should return to Barcelona in the interests of “justice”. He implied that Arsenal had stolen Fabregas as a youngster.

Wenger strongly disagreed with his arrogant words, and hit back at Barca’s double standards. He said: “It’s part of the game. Where do they get their players? Where does Messi come from? Barcelona? At what age did they take him? Thirteen!”

“There’s no reason for any bitterness, because we did nothing illegal. Everything was legal. We did not force a gun somewhere. We respected the rules. They could come and take our players, we accept that as well.

“They take their players from all over the world. Don’t expect them only to get players from Catalonia.

“And you must remember that every young player in Catalonia wants to play for Barcelona. Not every young player in London wants to play for Arsenal. Some want to play for Tottenham, some for West Ham, some for Chelsea and some for QPR.

“In Barcelona they don’t have the same choice.”

That is something that has never been mentioned before. Does Messi have Newell’s Old Boys DNA????

    I wish someone would shoot Laporta in the face. This story really is getting old. Fabregas is an Arsenal player he’s happy here end of story. If you want him so bad pay the 65+ mil and then we will talk other then that keep brainwashing those Catalonia boys with the “More then just a club” BS.

    On the quarterfinals, i have the hunch that we would draw RM. And then the fabregas saga would have the biggest heat, the positive dimension for us is that we would receive a certain offer for a number around 70mil.

    I dont know if wenger would sell him, but you can evidnece now how crazy this so called spanish giants are, today they will sink in their stupid egos.

    Well done boys!!! How I wish AA23 will and could be up for every game like he did tonight. What a match and a FANTASTIC result.
    I know it’s only half-time, but I am entitled to enjoy the euphoria. In the return leg (March 8), Barca will have to attack more, that will make them more open and susceptible to our pacey counter-attack.
    Looking forward to another mouth-watering match.
