I'm also baffled by the lack of statements either from the club or from the player himself. Of course there could be many reasons for this Given the bollocks that's written in the media one would think that there'd be some clarification, but the player is saying nothing, and Wenger's comments are frankly laughable.
Here are his latest comments:
"He is just coming back from injury and is not ready to play in a game, but he is not injured.
"I don't think Fabregas will be ready to start the season because he has been out for a long time and has had no games.
"I do not want to speak about the transfer of Fabregas because I have done that three years now in every press conference so I don't think there is any more need to add something.
"I love Fabregas and I want him to stay, that is basically it.
"Everybody is free to think what they want. We cannot stop people raising questions."
So there we are - the season kicks off in a week and still the uncertainty.
