Cesc Fabregas Transfer To Barcelona Could Be A Massive Mistake

Posted by on May 24, 2010 | 12 Comments

The major football transfer news this week has been the proposed move of Cesc Fabregas from current club Arsenal to Barcelona. If Fabregas moves to the club with whom he started his career he will be able to line up alongside the likes of Xavi and Andres Iniesta, or maybe he will actually be a sub for when these players are not available.

Since his move to Arsenal Fabregas has developed into a world class player and in recent years he has also added the one thing that was missing to his game – goals. He was Arsenal’s top goalscorer this season and is also their captain so if he does move (the bookies have him long odds on to go to Barcelona) then he will leave a massive void at the Emirates.

He will be moving to the best club side in the world but there will be no guarantees he will get into the team, he is not the ball winner that Yaya Toure is and he is still probably not in the same class as the likes of Xavi and Andres Iniesta, he certainly isn’t going to replace the world’s best player Lionel Messi. That leaves the question mark about how he will fit in at Barcelona and it appears that Barcelona have already signed the player that will really make the difference.

Barcelona this week completed their transfer of Valencia striker David Villa for a comparatively cheap 40m Euros. Villa is currently the best finisher in the world and he simply guarantees goals. Barcelona also play the perfect system for him and he could set all sorts of new scoring records next season, but in the mean time he has the World Cup to think about, he is currently the hot favourite in the World Cup Golden Boot Odds and is expected to be lifting the World Cup this summer with the Spain World Cup Odds making them favourites for the World Cup 2010. Interestingly Fabregas could spend plenty of time this summer warming the bench for Spain, a position he may have to get used to.

    In deed it will be a very, very sad mistake should Arsene Wenger sell Fabregas to Barcelona.
    Let Arsenal remain consistent and resolute to their words.

    Let him go but rest assured that will be the end of his football margic: Where is Flammini, Where is Helb and Henry… all stars at Arsenal but when they left they became a shadow of themselfs.

    For sure Fabregas is a king in arsenal and if I were him I would not leave this kingdom for a position lower than the one of a king. He may go but be rest assured to warm the bench most of the time at the Nou Camp stadium
    he still needs arsenal and arsenal still needs him

    fabregas is replacable. he clearly wants to leave. i think wenger should cash in on him. if barca desperately want him then they will pay 60 mil for him. in 60 mil alone we can buy two world class CAM’s if needed. wenger will surely sign gourcuff if he gets the slightest feeling that fabregas is leaving

    If fabregas leaves,infact that will be the end of his magic touch.though all arsenal fans will miss him,but he will end up been a shadow of himself at barca.we pray he stays back.now he’s a king in arsenal,so he stay and enjoy all the first class treatment

    look yaya toure is leaving and no fabregas wont be on the bench guardiola will have a 4-3-3 with probably iniesta acting as the defensive role as he has demonstrated before
    so i do hope fabregas comes to barca coz this will be our line up
    keeper-valdez
    defenders-alves,puyol,pique,maxwell
    midfielders-xavi,iniesta,fabregas
    forwards-ibrahimovic,david villa,messi

    simply the best and you are stupid if you think the worlds 3 best midfielders and getting subbed

    you see fabregas can also play on wing.
    with messi on the right flank, xavi and iniesta at cm and fabregas on the left, that is perfect. also xavi is getting old. fabregas will easily steal xavis place when the time comes.

    There is no reason fabregas couldnt start at Barcelona. Yes Xavi and Iniesta will not be benched, but barca play 4-3-3 and Iniesta can play defensive or attacking, meaning fabregas and Xavi can play along side at center mid. Depending on whether or not Iniesta plays defensive or attacking, barca have mascherano, busquets to play defensive and Pedro to play on the left. barca are already arguably the best team in the world, so all that’s left to do is to add up whether or not having fabregas starting and either Pedro or busquets on the pine will make barca better. And that answer is yes. Pedro and busquets are young and developing, but remember fabregas is young to. Plus it would probably be good for fabregas to get a bit more of a break for his future, or he will run out of puff at top flight before he is 27 odd

    I think we should buy fabregas in an amount less than 50 millions euros

    Santro Rosel certainly not the same afford to Laporta but should move vigorously in the market if it wants a competitive Barcelona!!!!!Aid in goal and on defense

    1)Lukasz Fabianski = Arsenal
    2)Davis Louis = Benfica
    3)Wan Nte Wiel = Ajax
    4)Adem Ljajic = Fiorentina
    5)Kun Kun Aguero = Atletico Madrit

    The Atletico madrit because it builds a new stadium will sell some players, I think that aguero is a good solution for the attack!
