“I understand that Arsenal means a lot to Cesc.
“But there comes a point in your life when you have to think about winning the biggest prizes in football, and I think it has got to that point for him. He has given Arsenal great service, but he should be winning league titles and European Cups.
“I played for him with the youth team at Barcelona and you could tell he was a special player – he had great vision and passing range even then.” (Leo Messi – Various)
You have to admire Barcelona’s persistence, and by admire I of course mean “hate them to the core”, the way they have attempted to unsettle our captain has been as relentless as it has been tedious and clearly must in some fashion break tapping up guidelines in some manner.
Previously other Barca players have decided to court Cesc Fabregas in interviews and the likes of Gerard Pique have been repeating the same mantra for ages but now impish attacker Leo Messi has decided to have his two pence worth.
Surely by stating in no uncertain terms that a player MUST leave his current club to join another when you are employed in some way by that club is ‘tapping up’. I do wonder why UEFA have stood by and done nothing as this continues to go on and it has gotten to the point that even if Pepe Guardiola was to buy a very large villa 100 yards from the Nou Camp and then dangled the keys in front of the massed media and then stated “Come and get it Cesc” even then no action would be taken.
Thankfully I am sure that Fabregas is so well versed with such speculation that I am confident that he will continue to pay little heed to these rather amateurish mind games.

It’s about time that Real and Barca kept their mouths shut along with their players in trying to tempt Cesc to join them, what will it be next bribery. He’s come out I don’t know how many times and said he is happy at Arsenal so why don’t these two teams open their ears and not their mouths and listen to what he’s said.

I understand at some point in his career he will go to Barca but he has previously stated that time will not be at least for another couple of years so leave it and watch Arsenal develop into the team captained by one of the greatest young prospects in world football go on to achieve greatness take him away and that is completely unacceptable with the methods used by Barcelona and i’m sure Real Madrid are not gunna sit back and watch a player of that calibre just go ahead and sign for Barcelona when they know what they have to offer financially is most probably superior. But anyway STAY AT ARSENAL CESC! bad result against Sunderland still got a game in hand on scum bags United Arsenal to finish second need i even mention who the champions will be….. ok i will CHELSEA by a long way

Barca has problem and it is called deepsitted lowself esteem and selfdoubt.It doesnt end there:It will cost them heavily becos its beginning to show.Firs it was presidential candidates promising to deliver Cesc asan election campaign promise.Then next came Pep.Finally, the stars of the treble winners have all echoed same lines(Pique, Puyol, Xavi and now its Messi).
I cant but conclude that if three of the best players in Europe who are in same club continue to pine after a player, there is a problem at the nou camp dressing room.Could this be as a result of the Robin Kazan test?Or is it the equally unsettled stars at the Bernabeu? What exactly will Cesc do at Barca that Xavi and Iiniesta havent been doing with even more?
These are worrying times at the Camp Nou and with arguably the best player in the world right now joining the chorus calling for Cesc, the writing on the walls of the Barca dressing room has become clearer;Pep’s losing it somehow.
I would worry if my team of world class stars keeping looking outside the team for a better ‘player’ who hasnt achieved what they have.

It will be a bad time for al lenglish football fans if Cesc goes. he is a great player and I enjoy watching him perform for Arsenal…..if Arsenal lose him it will be devastating….

From a liverpool fan i think this is pathetic i hope arsenal keep Fabregas as h is a great player to watch and is still young!! he can only improve on his greatness and it hink Barca wuld be a bad move for him in my opinion….at Arsenal he is by far the best player their and he is their talisman and their prized asset and is reated like a god in the emirates and a feared player by all teams……..if he went to Barca sure he might win more trophies but he won’t be there talisman, their star or prized asset as he will be in the shadow of Messi,iniesta,Xavi and ibrahimavic (can’t spell his name) and he is to me a player who thrives on being number one and i can tell his heart is set on Arsenal!!
So from a Liverpool fan my adivice is Keep Fabregas!!

A better team wants your player and are saying that such a player should be winning trophies and medals, nothing but truths there. Get over it.

Their pursuit of fabregas and mascherano is totally out of order any english club would be banned. Seeing as though they are quite happy to use messi publicly have no doubts about the messages he is sent with for mascherano on international duty and the messages all barcas spanish contingent give fabregas

Now now lets retain a bit of perspective here shall we? You stole him from Barca in the first place and secondly if agents, presidents and actual managers can come out with even more inflammatory things than Messi et al have without getting punished for tapping up what makes you’s think that anything will or even should happen in this situation? Players have been saying this about other players since football started its when you have the money men and presdients and managers saying these things that it is not on. And having said all that Madrid and Barca have form for doing this the last decade or so so I can see why its getting up everyones noses. Especailly with Madrid for me as they are not even good!!!!

I think Cesc is waiting for the right time to make the move to be honest. He may be happy at Arsenal but its not just this love thats keeping him at London for the time being but its the fact that he might not get into the current Barca starting lineup.
How many time does he start for Spain when the other players (usually Xavi and Busquets or Xavi and Alonso or Xavi and Senna) are all fit. Most of his starts have been when either one of the other guys have been injured, rested or in a game where the manager is willing to experiement a bit. He does get a shot when the manager goes with a single striker option thereby allowing him to play an extra man in midfield, with Fabregas the usual candidate for the same.
So for the same reasons if he does join Barca now, he might end up warming the bench as opposed to being Arsenal’s most important player. But in about two years Xavi will become 31, and Cesc can then basically replace him directly and perfectly.

Why would Cesc want to move from a better footballing side like Arsenal to Barca who are a good team, but have the same chance of winning trophies this year as the gunners.
Barca used to be the football brand, fullstop. But now they are not known for playing the best football in Europe, that mantel goes to the gunners.
Barca are about individuals, Arsenal are almost poetry in motion from 11 players.
