Jack clarifies Cesc comments
Wilshere was quoted in the press on Wednesday as saying that he hopes Fabregas will be a "real man" and show the same loyalty to the club he did last year. The England international also stressed the importance of keeping key players like Fabregas and Samir Nasri as the Gunners seek to win some silverware next season. Both Fabregas and contract rebel Nasri have been heavily linked with moves away from the Emirates this summer, with Fabregas again being courted by his former club Barcelona, who failed in their bid to take the 24-year-old back to the Nou Camp last summer. Wilshere praised Fabregas for his loyalty on that occasion and is keeping his fingers crossed the midfielder - and other key players - opt to stay with the Gunners this summer. However, the 19-year-old was disappointed with the way his quotes were presented in the press, and has now offered a correction. Wilshere tweeted on Wednesday morning: "Have not read any papers but just so we get it right i actually said 'cesc showed he is a real man by staying and being loyal last season'.. "'And hopefully we can have a few more players like that'..... "I also said he has been a great role model for me! So why would i tell him to 'man up'!? Get it correct please..." In the interview, Wilshere was quoted as saying: "Loyalty is a big part of football and it shows if you are a real man or not. "If you are loyal, that means you're a real man. We have got loyalty at Arsenal - players have shown that in the past. Cesc showed that last year and hopefully a few more players can show it this year. Then we will see if we can get a trophy or not." He added: "We have to keep our best players if we want to win things. Any team wants to keep their best players. Look at Tottenham and what's happening with Luka Modric. "Robin (van Persie) said he would be devastated if we lose Cesc and it's the same for me. He has been a role model for me and he is the player I want to aspire to. "It would be a shame if we lose him but hopefully we can keep hold of him."
