Cesc Fabregas insists he's happy at Arsenal and can fulfil his
ambitions at Emirates stadium.
The 20-year-old disagrees with former Arsenal stars Thierry Henry
and Freddie Ljungberg's claims that Arsene Wenger's side are
unlikely to be serious title contenders this season.
"While I respect the opinions of Henry and Ljungberg, I believe
this team can fight for the title," the former Barcelona trainee
told the News of the World.
"What I say is not madness. We got to the Champions League final in
2005, often playing without players like Henry, Ljungberg and
Ashley Cole.
"I have matured very much over the last two years and I am prepared
to be the leader of the team.
"Maybe then people won't ask me any more about becoming the next
Patrick Vieira!"
Fabregas added: "I would love to captain Arsenal. It is a matter of
enormous pride to me because the fans are always with me and that
support is very valuable.
"I know how the fans suffer when we lose."
