Cesc Fabregas's Chelsea move angers former Arsenal captain Tony Adams

Tony Adams not impressed by Cesc Fabregas’ Chelsea move

Cesc Fabregas’ £30million move to Stamford Bridge has angered former Arsenal skipper Tony Adams.

“It saddens me a little bit, I have to say,” said Adams.

“He’s an Arsenal captain of the past, so when you see these people go from club to club, it’s just sad. It’s like Ashley Cole, I could never have done what Ashley did. I understand why he questioned Arsenal, regarding their ambition, but I couldn’t have gone from one side of London to the other.”

Adams accused Fabregas of being money minded and says he has gone where he is getting more money. “It just seems these players go where the money is” said Adams who won four league titles for Arsenal during his 22 year old career with the Gunners.

“Not a lot of them do it for love anymore, so that’s the bit which saddens me.There’s so much money in the game now that greed comes in.”

Fabregas will reportedly be paid £200,000 per week at Chelsea.

Tony Adams though backed German midfielder Mesut Ozil to do well in the next season.

“Arsene bought Ozil for £40m and he’s a top player,” said Adams.

“By his standards, he had a poor first season, but there’s a lot more to come from him.We’ve also got Jack Wilshere in there, the Ox, Aaron Ramsey, Santi Cazorla, so Arsene has got a lot of those types of players. Does he need another one? He probably doesn’t to be honest. There are other areas I think we need to strengthen.” said Adams.
