Cesc raps Arsenal: Playing well is no longer enough

Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas says building a team of young players is no longer enough.

Speaking with Don Balon, he questioned whether developing young players could be put ahead of short-term success.

Cesc said: "From 2007 I had already started saying 'we're not winning, but we're playing well'. And then you realise that's no use.

"You enjoy yourself, during a phase of the championship - like this year, for example, when we were still in four different competitions. And you say to yourself 'here I have everything!' But then that final point is missing and it's then when you have to make a decision: either go out and win or develop players."
