Loyalty is very important in football and shows that you are man. If you’re loyal, you are a man in the true sense of the word. At Arsenal we know this word, like all the other players showed it in the past. Cesc is part of them. We must continue so. We’ll see if we can win a trophy this year together, “said Wilshere.

Fabregas didn’t made the flight to the Asian tour with arsenal because of an injury, and his teammate from Spanish national team, Xavi Hernandez, said that Fabregas is suffering because he can’t play for Barcelona: “He’s in the same situation like last year. It speaks much about it, but nothing concrete and it is bothering him Clubs must understand once! We want him here at Barca and he suffers because the transfer cannot be complete. He did everything that depends on it, but the problem is still not solved. ”
