Cesc Fabregas was welcomed by Arsenal fans during yesterday's members' day.

Heavy rain also forced the club to postpone their official team photo, which may ultimately spare them being left with one that includes Fabregas were he to leave.

However, PA Sport says both Fabregas and contract rebel Samir Nasri are understood to have posed for annual in-house photos and videos on Thursday as well as completing the usual pre-season pictures for other media outlets.

"We are not a spending club but we still managed to stay up there with the top teams," he said. "And we have to win things this year.

"Maybe if we had a few more faces we could really push on. If we get a few more players we can really challenge for the title.

Arsene Wenger Hits Out At Jeering Arsenal Fans

Arsene Wenger has hit out at home fans after their 1-1 draw with New York Red Bulls.

The Gunners' perennial frailties struck again and they conceded a late equaliser to surrender the trophy to the Red Bulls.

"The most important thing is to prepare and to take the pressure on when results really matter."

Arsene Wenger Unhappy With Ryo Miyaichi U-22 Call Up

Arsene Wenger is unhappy that he faces losing Ryo Miyaichi to an unusual U22 call-up by Japan.

Wenger was asked about the situation after their draw with New York Red Bulls.

He told arsenal.com: "We have now in football the Under-16, Under-17, Under-18, Under-19, Under-20, Under-21, Under-22… soon we will create the Under-60 and we’ll have to let the players go.

"I think at some stage the clubs should be within in their rights to use their players because these competitions are organised when the season is already started. I think we have to become serious. Players under 20? You take our midfield from yesterday. Frimpong is 19, Ramsey is 20, and Wilshere is 19.

"They can now play in the World Cup Under-20, so we could be in a situation where we could lose our players and cannot even field our midfield. That’s where people inside the clubs raise questions about how we can continue to give a chance to young players if during the season they go away with the national teams."

Wenger : Thierry Henry Is Still Top Quality!

Arsene Wenger has paid tribute to Thierry Henry after their 1-1 draw with New York Red Bulls.

"They say great clubs never die and it looks like great players never die. Thierry has shown us today that he is still top quality with his feet and with his head," Wenger told arsenal.com.

"With his head, I knew [he is still top quality], but with his feet I wasn’t sure. He still has good physical potential and has prepared exceptionally well for this game. I am very happy to have seen him today and he played a good game.
