"We had a lot of possession but didn’t have anyone to go in behind the defence apart from Carlos Vela. We had lots of players who like the ball into their feet. Sometimes you need a different kind of option. Overall, I saw a Chelsea team that was normal but a team that has probably the best striker in the world. We had lots of players who like the ball into their feet. Sometimes you need a different kind of option.

"Cesc is a player who is an exceptional talent. But part of the exceptional talent is that he is never happy with what he is delivering. There is a lot more to come from him, because these players always get better." - Arsene Wenger, on Cesc Fabregashttp://www.world-track.org/sportsnews/?p=6939

"You can never say never, but I feel grateful, wanted, comfortable and important at Arsenal. Some people will never understand if I ever leave, but you have to feel comfortable with yourself. I’ve given my all for Arsenal. I’ve played when I’ve felt ill, and through injury. I even played in the Champions League a few hours after my grandfather died. I’m proud to be a part of this club, and I’ll always be proud of what I’ve done." - Cesc Fabregas, on staying with Arsenalhttp://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/leagues/premierleague/arsenal/7033760/Cesc-Fabregas-Im-proud-to-be-a-part-of-Arsenal.html

"To be honest, I think Cesc sulked a bit last season. It was as though he wanted to be in the holding midfield role, that he wanted to be the man who pulled the string. Just look at the vital goals he has scored and the match-winning influence he has had. Arsene wants him more ­forward where he can be both dangerous and creative – and you have to say that it is ­working well." - Tony Adams, on Cesc Fabregashttp://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Alex-Song-has-given-Cesc-Fabregas-a-new-lease-of-life-says-Arsenal-legend-Tony-Adams-article306801.html
