CESC FABREGAS is backing Arsene Wenger to confound his critics again and keep Arsenal at the top of the English game.
The controversial sale of star striker Robin van Persie to Manchester United has prompted many to write off the Gunners’ chances this season.
Just like they did when Fabregas was sold to Barcelona last summer.
But the former Gunners skipper argued: “Arsene Wenger is amazing and I’m sure he will prove it again this season.
“He always finds the best young talent in Europe and has the courage to bring them in and give them their chance.
“That is his special talent, the way he works with a player to build their confidence and encourage them to play, to perform at their best.
“That’s why I’m confident that Arsenal will again be up there challenging.
“I hope so. I watch them every weekend because Arsenal still mean so much to me.
“It was a privilege for me to spend eight years at such a magnificent club.
“But now is a new chapter at Barcelona and I said when I signed here that it was going to be the most exciting and difficult challenge of my life.
“I knew I was coming to compete for a place against the best players in the world. But I like big challenges.
“If I didn’t I would have stayed at Arsenal where I was the captain, where I played every game and where I was treated so well.
“I have a big heart, a strong character and I have the courage to carry on competing for my place.”

Arsenal legend Ray Parlour believes Theo Walcott must sort out his future and concentrate on playing after failing to start a match for the club so far this season.
Walcott’s existing contract runs out next summer and the winger has been strongly linked with a move to either Manchester City or Liverpool after recently rejecting talks over a new deal.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has previously admitted his concern over Walcott’s current situation, and Parlour says he fails to understand the contract wrangles.
ARSENAL LATEST
9/1 Arsenal are 9/1 with Bet365 to beat Montpellier 2-0 on Tuesday evening
“Everyone wants to see Theo Walcott sign a new contract,” Parlour told talkSPORT. “He’s got a lot of work to do on the pitch though and, at the moment, he’s not playing.
“He’s a good player, but he needs to say whether he’s staying or he’s going and then concentrate on his football.
“All these contract talks can sometimes affect your game. He’s probably thinking more about money and less about his game.
“It’s one of those situations where the player has got to be happy with what he’s got. I can never understand these wrangles over contracts.
"Sure you have a figure in your head which you’re happy with and once that’s been agreed then it’s done. Whether Theo is holding his cards close to his chest and saying, 'well, I’ve got one year left on my contract, I want £100,000 a week', I don’t know."
:lol:
Phone Theo in his 4x4 and offer him £55k pw and be sure Shitmack has been left at the side of the road.

Former Arsenal captain Tony Adams says the club’s selling policy is chipping away at their credibility as one of Europe’s top sides.
Adams, who spent his entire career with the north London club, believes that allowing star players such as Robin van Persie, Samir Nasri and Cesc Fabregas to leave the Emirates Stadium has given other sides a poor impression of them.
"It sends out all the wrong messages for me, being a selling club," he told the London Evening Standard.
"Piece by piece for seven years, it chips away at your credibility. Selling your best players is part of that.
"I very much see Arsenal as the biggest club in the world, so I can't understand why anybody would want to play anywhere else - but I can understand it was very different for me.
"I am looking at it not as an ex-player or pundit, but as a fan and giving what the fans are thinking and feeling."
The Gunners have made an impressive start to the current campaign, remaining unbeaten in all competitions with the addition of Adams’ former defensive partner Steve Bould to the Arsenal dug-out being cited as an improvement in their back-line, which has shipped just one league goal this season.
However Adams’ feels that the mentality and style of the team is not set-up to be a success.
"The problem for me in the last seven years is the defensive vulnerabilities as a team - the goalkeeper, the back four, even the central midfield players, the mentality of the team," he added.
"I don't think they are a team that are set up to do what Chelsea did last year in the Champions League and I don't think Arsene wants to.
“Year in, year out the team with the best defence wins the league and we saw the team with the best defence win the Champions League, so it makes you wonder why a lot of teams aren't focusing more on defending."
Arsenal got their European campaign off to a good start with a win away at French champions Montpellier on Tuesday.
And despite that early win in the competition, Adams is not optimisitc about their chances of lifting the trophy for the first time at Wembley Stadium next summer.
"I expect them to score goals, but they cannot win the Champions League with their current mentality," he said.
"I hope they prove me wrong, but against the better teams I think they will fall short again. I am not alone here - I think most of the Arsenal fans would agree with me.
"To actually think you are going to play Barcelona or Real Madrid off the pitch...I don't think this team are good enough to do that."
Spot fucking on
Adams :bow:
Time he came back home
We're a buying and selling club.
Arsenal in not as good as Barcelona/Real Madrid shocker.
I have no particular issue with what he is saying, but at least we are tring to address the defensive issue. Rome wasn;t built in a day.Quote:

As for being a selling club I agree with the credibility chipping point. But what these ex players/pundits never do is suggest an alternative. Reality is that with the rise of the Petro-Dollar billionaire clubs we don't have much choice. Plus the trend was started in order for us to get a new stadium - something that is going to be a problem for most of our competitors in the years to come.
generally because defending in your penalty area for 89 minutes wont win you a matchQuote:
"I don't think they are a team that are set up to do what Chelsea did last year in the Champions League and I don't think Arsene wants to.
how often does anyone do that?Quote:
"To actually think you are going to play Barcelona or Real Madrid off the pitch..."
that's right, they didn't play either of those off the pitch.
They did Barcelona tbh
In the semis
With 10 men
Barca :lol:
Anyway the point is, we all know the like of Barca and Real will have the majority of the ball against most teams. Whilst the likes of Chelsea can adjust their tactics/formations accordingly to go on and humiliate Barca as we saw last season, Wenger wont change a thing and will try to out football them and we'll end up getting slaughtered as shown whenever we have been to the Nou Camp in recent seasons
i can't abide anything that comes out of adams mouth.
so even if something he says for once may be close to the truth, i refuse to hear it.
he should've stayed drunk, finished his career a ledge and died quietly somewhere of liver failure.
A drunk mans words are a sober mans thoughts.
Yes it was.Quote:
Rome wasn;t built in a day.
Wenger would rather play pretty (though I question whether it is always) and lose than play ugly and win.
Sometimes you have to look at the opposition and recognise their threat is greater than yours and that you can't just play your own game and win, top managers look at the problem facing them and adapt, Wenger doesn't.
