Has Fabregas is did some guy speak on his behalf? Why not just say we have rejected the bid, Cesc is happy here and there will be no further developments. What they have done is precisely nothing.
Apparently Fabregas wants to stay, but if the Barca accepts a bid for him then he may feel unwanted and willing to move.
Interesting that the manager said he wanted to stay, but didn't say that Barca wanted to keep him and that it was great that other teams were making offers for their players. I wonder if that's a coded way of saying "we're willing to sell him, but not for a low offer".
I guess it can depend on the assurances Fab gets from the manager about his role in the team, if he's told it's to be marginal I would assume he'd chose to leave
True. If he's guaranteed to feature in the Barca midfield then there wouldn't be another club in the world that could prise him away. Tho' Vilanova's comments don't sound like he's going to be important - when another team bids for a player you expect more from the manager than 'that's great news, I don't really care'.
Extra security at Carrington today that coincides with Woodwards arrival in the UK. Not suggesting its for fabregas, but he's flown back pretty quickly and the thinking is that its for something thats just changed. The availability of a player.
Fully agree. Also why I have a feeling Arsenal fans will be on suicide watch before the end of the summer.
Wenger seems pretty confident he's staying at Barca and given they have first option, if they are not involved it would suggest he's probably staying (plus Barca have just sold Thiago too).
