Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas is reluctant to enter the buying debate at Emirates stadium.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger insists he was right not to splash out on a new striker in January, despite their thumping by Manchester United on Sunday.

"I cannot say anything about it," said Fabregas. "The boss has the money and the ideas, so he knows what he has to do.

"Every team, even the best team in the world, can always improve. But that's up to the boss; that is his job.

"We want to believe we are still in the title race. I am always realistic and I am not going to lie to myself or to anyone. We know it is very difficult. Chelsea were better than us, Manchester United have been better than us. So it's something we have to think about to make sure it doesn't happen again."
