Alves urges Fabregas move

The moody Brazilian, who is disliked by many for his arrogant demeanour, will have done little for his reputation with comments about Fabregas.

“I understand that he doesn’t want to leave Arsenal on bad terms but I can understand why he would force a move to Barça,” he told Spanish media. “Players always end up playing where they want to play and a club shouldn’t keep an unhappy player.”

“I forced my exit from Sevilla; I saw the train passing by and I wanted to be in business class,” he said.
