Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas has raised further questions on whether his former club Arsenal will win any trophies this season.

The 24-year-old left the Gunners this summer for his hometown club, after only winning one FA Cup winners medal in eight years in north London.

The Spain international has now won two cups in his three games at the Nou Camp and believes Arsenal are still someway away from ending their six-year silverware drought.

Fabregas maintains he will always hold a special place in his heart for the Gunners, but admits uncertainly over the club’s short-term goals did play a part in his decision to leave.

“I want to be in a club that is able to win the big titles year after year and I don’t see that kind of future for Arsenal,” he told Sport magazine.

“I still have many feelings for Arsenal, but I fear that they won’t be able to push the other big clubs in England away.

“If you look at the team this season I can’t see them finishing in front of teams like Manchester United or [Manchester] City, or Chelsea.

“There’s just too big a difference between the squads.

“I respect that Arsenal don’t have the same financial opportunities as the others, but it was part of my decision to leave that I find it hard to see Arsenal winning the Premier League or Champions League in the near future.

“I hope they will replace me and the others that have left with some quality players and maybe they can take Arsenal back to their level as champions.”

'bout time.

Cesc is humble and respectful.

DNA shows up). Nothing wrong with what he said, but kinda troll, because it comes from his mouth. Benchwarmer LOL

Fabregas left Arsenal because of the trophies?!? shocking.

We all knew he left for Barca for trophies, nothing wrong with that, and he also took the Arsenal curse with him, looks like Barcelona have to work their ass off now.

Sensationlist Title much?

The OP is a tube

In other news, moon still orbits earth.

LOL anyone else misread this at first and thought it said

Cesc Fabregas "I want to be in a club that is able to win the big titties"

It was obviously Xavi in a Fabregas mask

It's probably fake. There is nothing about this on Spanish sites only on Caughtoffside which is garbage source which creates sensational fake stories and fake transfer rumours. http://www.caughtoffside.com/2011/09/15/cesc-fabregas-doubts-arsenal-will-win-silverware-this-season/

Nothing wrong with what he said. I agree with cesc

lol so he runs to a team thats already stacked, what a true champion.

Looks like he wants more honours sitting on the bench then.

he's not sitting on the bench though....

With both Iniesta and Sanchez fit in matches that matter, he would.

My reaction: No shit, which professional player doesn't want to be at a club that wins titles?

so in this case what do we call Cesc a Glory Hunter ot Band Wagoner?

Neither because, apparently, the whole thing was invented by the media

Mind you, like Shushi Master said in another thread, funny how he's so quick to come out and dispel the allegations now.....

Then I guess I'll just wait till he actually says it.

He joined the wrong club? :vagi:
