There is a strong rumour doing the rounds of some press agencies that when Manchester City made a recent approach to Arsenal to enquire about Cesc Fabregas they were immediately informed that he was off to Spain this summer. It looks as though the Gunners captain will finally get his wish for a move to his beloved Barcelona.

As for Man City, they have now turned their attentions to Barca’s Iniesta as Fabregas’ arrival at the Camp Nou will surely put someone’s nose out of joint. Barca can’t/won’t play Messi, Xavi, Fabregas AND Iniesta in the same team, surely. City have recent previous of doing business with Barca when they bought Yaya Toure last summer.

Iniesta at 27 is just the type of playmaker that Roman Abramovich loves and I’m sure would get a huge thumbs up from Fernando Torres. Is it beyond all reason that ‘if’ Chelsea were to bring in Mata, the flying Spanish winger to join Torres that Iniesta would also welcome an approach from Chelsea?

Like many English Premiership fans I will be watching this weekend’s Champions league final and rooting for Barca to really turn it on. Some may say that I should be supporting the English club but there is no way on gods earth I could ever bring myself to support Sir Alex Ferguson or his Manchester United team. I really hope they get thumped as I watch the likes of Iniesta and co and just wish one or two of them were wearing a Chelsea shirt.

    lol

    you guys are delusional

    fabregas when he leaves arsenal wont be for another english team. What manager tells an opposite manager that his captain is goin to brarcelona? answer no one not even rafa benitez would make a cock up of that magnitude.

    I seriously can not understand the ill will towards man utd. have you guys forgotten that barca cheated you guys out of a champs league 3 seasons ago, same as they did to arsenal this term and last?
    Barca are a good side but they are very beatable. They con referees into making dodgy decisions by diving all over the place going down like wounded animals.

    Eden hazard by the way has publicly stated that he will sign IF he moves for eirher Liverpool or Arsenal.

    And Dan, tell the author those magic beans cost a million each lol

    cheers

    Iniesta is good but we must aim younger and build for the future. Any new purchase should be under 24. And don’t forget Neymar. He is not just a striker. He attacks from deep in midfield and is very tricky and great at laying off through balls for others.

  5. Peter jude says:

    If iniesta come chelsea dat is great but i no he can not come to chelsea because England football is not as easy has Spain football.
