From: Mark V. on
Rather interesting that he sought out Van Persie before whooping it
up. Perhaps it wasn't such an exhilarating climax for somebody whose
play time wasn't commensurate with their star status.

While Barca's financial realities probably do have an impact on his
transfer prospects, I also imagine that he realized that the same two
guys who kept him on Spain's bench will be right in front of him when
he transfers to Barca.



Fabregas "proud to be" at Arsenal

July 12, 2010

Cesc Fabregas has hailed Arsenal as a "world-class club" and suggested
he is ready to stay next season.


Fabregas had earlier indicated that he wanted to return to Barcelona
this summer but, given the current economic difficulties at the club,
it appears new president Sandro Rosell is unwilling to pay big money
for the player.

Following Spain's victory over Netherlands on Sunday, Fabregas said:
"All I can say is that this World Cup victory is for all the Arsenal
players and fans. They are a world-class club. I am an Arsenal player
and proud to be."

Fabregas also revealed his first thought after beating Netherlands was
to console Arsenal team-mate Robin van Persie.

"The first thing I had to do after the final whistle was go to Robin,"
he said. "Instead of celebrating with my friends, I wanted to talk to
him. He has been injured a lot and if it wasn't us he was playing
against, it would have been different. I just hope he has his chance
again, because he is a great guy and a great leader."

This really warms my heart on a cold night :-) I thought it might be
a bit silly to want a Spain-Holland final before the WC started
(simply because our two best players would be there)....but then our
captain, who made the winning pass, goes and says this.....

We love you Fabby!
