Barcelona going for Fabregas Really??? But where are you going to play him? Who will you bench?
I feel this might not be the best move...
BBC Sport - Football - Barcelona ponder move for Arsenal skipper Cesc Fabregas
I feel this might not be the best move...
Barcelona are considering making a move for Cesc Fabregas after the Arsenal captain's admission that he would like to return to the Catalan giants.
Last week Fabregas, 23, who joined the Gunners from Barca in 2003, said he would only leave Arsenal for Barcelona.
Barca president Joan Laporta said: "It is remarkable the player has said that. If we believe we must make an effort, we will and we will talk to Arsenal."
Meanwhile, Barcelona are close to signing Valencia striker David Villa.
The Spanish international is holding talks with the La Liga champions and Laporta said: "We are in the negotiating process and everything is going in the right direction.
"We hope it is resolved soon. We have set a specific date and will do what is best for the club."
Laporta's reign as the Catalan club's president comes to an end this summer and two of his potential successors, Sandro Rosell and Alfons Godall, have mentioned signing Fabregas as part of their election campaign.

Saw this earlier and not really sure what to think. I'm not sure who he would replace. To me it just sounds like they are trying to stack up on players, but nobody of his caliber is going to want to sit on the bench and only play once in a while.
