Arsenal boss Wenger: No Barcelona offer will be considered for Cesc
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger insists they won't consider any offer from Barcelona for Cesc Fabregas.
Barcelona defender Carles Puyol, an international team-mate of Fabregas, maintains Arsenal are trying to keep hold of the player against his will.
Wenger, however, insists there will be no more dialogue.
"We do not negotiate. If I want to buy your house and you do not want to sell, you do not negotiate with me, that is completely normal."
Wenger, though, fully expects his captain to knuckle down and get back to what he is paid for, regardless of what may be going on off the field.
"There are all kinds of situations, but I believe what happens after is that when a player stays it is about how much he focused on playing football," said the Gunners boss.
"It is always in the interests of the player to perform.
"If he is a champion, he goes on the football and wants to be the best he can. All the rest is a poor excuse for a football player."

dumb sss foucault..blve me u dont hve brain..just big m0uth 4sure, let your ball goes, is dat dficult?? no shame haa
Faaz is the man. Focault? A knobhead!
Wenger should look inwards and bring the best of english talents to arsenal, this foreign imports are ***** offs, when they are earning fat pays they dont remember that they have a home but when their pockets are loaded its then that they remember the idiotic DNA stuff, cesc is not the alpha of arsenal and he & his likes to come will never be the omega..,the time he was injured by xabi alonso and was out 4 five months arsenal kept winning, going to barca is no guarantee to winning trophies, ronaldo de lima never won the champs league in all his travels while liverpool won the champs league when owen left, so what is the big deal if cesc leaves, it may be a blessing in disguise. I think wenger is adamant only because of the mannerless courtship from camp nou, its idiotic and annoying.
