    Chelsea buy him but if Barca want to a deal that would allow them to sign him back then Chelsea should leave him for them. We don’t a situation where they’d not allow the boy to settle and consentrate with his new club just like they did Fabregas!

  8. kaka says:

    Chelsea are doing a whole lot of good by trying to sign him but it should be without any buy back clause…….

  9. I equally do not know him but with a clause of Barca buying back again, can be a good trade en the boy should understand he is not loved at Barca but he is liked.
