Barca's Tito Vilanova - rules out Fabregas move

Barcelona and Pep Guardiola's assistant Tito Vilanova, has told Barca
Tv and their official website that he's relishing the prospect of Fc
Barcelona's quarter-final tie with Arsenal. And that the Gunners
played "entertaining and attacking football" like their Catalan
counterpart.

He ruled out the opportunity of luring Arsenal's midfield maestro Cesc
Fabregas, whom he nurtured at youth stage. By referring to such an
attempt as been disrectpectful to Arsenal at this point in time.

"Especially now that the electrons are in the horizon," he said. "It
shows a lack of respect though to talk about a current Arsenal player
as being a signing for the future."

He expantiated on areas that he believed both teams could harness. He
made it crystal clear that just Like Barca, Arsenal enjoy keeping
possession to enable them knock their opponents off their stride:
"That is where the game would be played," he enthused.

He rubbished talks of Home Advantage for their quarter-finals second
leg and the semi-finals, if they beat the Gunners: "That does not
guarantee anything," he said.
Instead he believes that the only aspect of the match that's capable
of ensuring their qualification is staying focused.

He evaluated the Arsenal squad and agreed that many of our players
are: "young and fearless".

He showered encomiums on Arsenal's captain Cesc Fabregas, but he feels
that: "Arsenal would not be where they are without many other
players," he added. "Arsenal is a team against whom you can lose
concentration because they can score at will."

Thank goodness. . . I was beginning to fret at the possibility of been knocked out and losing our talisman.
I don't think Barca would've succeeded in their bid to snap Fabregas. They've taken a lot of stars and I doubt if Wenger and the club will encourage the trend any further. Anyway you can never be too careful.

You don't know Arsenal. . . We won't think twice before cashing in on the player. £50m and we can kiss our play maker goodbye. Hopefully he'll stay. . . .
What a relief. . . . . . Barca won't be gunning for him now, that means he isn't free yet. The summer transfer window is fast approaching. Maybe this time Joan Laporta won't be snooping around our man to assuage his ego.
wat's certain is we are gooner settle scores on field and fabregas's scoring.i bet it!

You've said it all, we can never be too careful. And I'd like to believe that Arsenal can't or won't sell Fabregas. Anyway every person is entitled to their opinion.
