FERGIE ENCOURAGES BARTHEZ
"I speak to Fabien all the time and while I don't feel particularly happy about it
because the two of them have not done anything wrong, he knows the situation.
"It has probably happened to him the other way around with the goalkeepers he has kept out and was probably in the same kind of situation when he was younger but he is all right, there is no problem.
"It's not an easy situation but he has been good about it. He has trained absolutely brilliantly and I just feel a little bit for him at the moment because the press have always got their eye on it, waiting for developments and hoping he puts one on my chin or something like that."
