Considering Wenger said we were certainly Fabregas' first choice, how come John Cross' statement can be called confirmation that we weren't?
He's never said we were his first choice, just said we had first option

Well like I mention below Wenger has said this himself. You can sit here and cry about Cesc but if they hadn't signed him they could have gone for someone else. He might not have been as good but they still would have done the right business in that role.

John cross talks shit.
I would hate to see the stats about assists and goals at the end of the season for Cesc.

Wenger is on record as saying he has gone where he wanted to go. He has also said he believes the deal to Chelsea was done in early 2014. John Cross is just quoting Wenger, not giving his opinion.
