I RESPECT CESC AFTER READING THIS. Arsenal fans can hate me - but I had no choice Changing clubs is part of the game and people must remember it was Arsenal who didnt take up the buy-back option for me, he said. What am I going to do - retire? No way. I can understand some people at Arsenal are sad, some people are upset, some people are even angry. But I have to look after myself. I had to make a decision. I wanted to keep playing football, enjoying myself and my career and I felt that joining Chelsea was the best option for me. There would have been a reaction wherever I had gone. If I had moved to Manchester United they would say, Hes gone to a club that have been our big rivals for such a long time. If it had been Manchester City they would have complained, too. Any team I would have gone to, apart from Arsenal, it would have been bad to them. • I would never intentionally do anything to create any problem with Arsenal or any other club. They can say to me whatever they want now, they can dislike me, they can hate me - but nothing will change my feelings for the club. • I used to watch all the games even after I left. I still have friends there, I always supported them and I have a really good connection with Arsenal. But in football things change. I left Arsenal for a reason and I didnt come back for a reason. I left because it was always my dream to play for my hometown team Barcelona. I hoped people would understand that. Arsenal had the first option - it was written in the contract - and so they could have said yes but they decided not to. They told me now Ozil was there, there was no need for me. Thats life. No problem. We move on. Life moves on. Football moves on. Cesc Fàbregas
