on cesc - it shows the two of them have clearly been talking, and that wenger will most likely activate the release clause if he can. given there is more to the quote then you posted.
on the others, thats not an encouraging quote, but who listens to wenger anyway, those that claim he is full of bullshit will take this quote as gospel. its just him being wumger, remember he denied knowing who cazorla was about two days before signing him. its worrying but ill judge in september.
on the city signing players we are linked with, only one is jovetic and i dont think he is offically signed yet, the others are hardly world class signings either.
higuain wont go to chelsea, tahts for sure, you dont want to leave madrid because the manager doesnt play you enough, to then go and play for that same manager
