Gunners right to keep Fabregas - Guardiola

08 August 2010 17:30
Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola believes Arsenal were right to hold onto Cesc Fabregas. Barca made two bids to sign the 23-year-old midfielder, but Fabregas announced on Friday he was staying in north London. And Guardiola said he would not have allowed Fabregas to leave either if he was in Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger's position. "I understand Arsenal and I understand Wenger, I wouldn't have let him leave either," he told reporters after Barca concluded their Asian tour with a 3-0 win over Beijing Guoan on Sunday. "I just hope Cesc carries on enjoying what is such a special and competitive league, the Premier."
