There have been a few reports around that Fabregas is not interested in a move to Real Madrid and as usual the media reports tend to turn whatever a player says about another club into a transfer story!

Fabregas has said the he wants to stay at Arsenal and he wants to win trophies this season with Arsenal: “To be four seasons without winning any titles would be too much for me. Real Madrid are the favourites to win La Liga this year.”

All that has been said so far is that Madrid would be interested in Fabregas, like they’ve done with Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United…Fabregas says: “I told him that now wasn’t the time to go to Madrid (Calderon).

“That you are wanted by Madrid, one of the biggest teams in history, is important.”

I think Fabregas is absolutely right when hs says that if it wasn’t for the sucess of Ronaldo then Manchester United wouldn’t have won the Premier League or the Champions League.

Of course we all hope more silverware will grace the Emirates stadium this season and I hope the continued club mentallity of bringing in young players rather than buying big brings success this season.

Bringing in good young players is great, but we seem to be selling them as soon as they prove their class, which is not a good strategy…
