Merida has no regrets over joining Madrid
Midfielder Fran Merida says that he has no regrets over leaving Arsenal to join Spanish club Atletico Madrid.
The 20-year-old rejected a new contract offer from Arsenal to move to Madrid as a free agent.
And having just played six league games since joining from Barcelona in 2007, who can blame him?
Merida said: "I'm an Atletico fan and I feel enormously proud to be here.
"Atletico is a big club and so is Arsenal, but there were some circumstances there, particularly on the sporting side, which I wasn't happy with and I couldn't fit in.
"I made Wenger aware of that and as soon as I knew Atletico were interested, I didn't think twice."
