he's acting like a little boy who's always dreamed of playing at Barca and would gladly agree to be their waterboy. i cant see any other explanation, he;s the captain at Arsenal, more than just a player for the fans but he'll be just average at Barca...

He would play with iniesta and xavi. either fabregas or xavi would probably be asked play a bit more like pirlo. or barca would rotate a lot...busquets, xavi, fabregas, busquets iniesta fabregas, xavi, iniesta fabregas...its gonna be very offensive

It's getting that Boooooorrrring now i wish he'd just go.....he has a contract until 2014 so we'll make a pretty penny on him if we do sell him i hope..

We don't need him as much as others think, we went on an 18 game unbeaten run last season when he was injured, so go figure.

FQ - He won't get in the Barca team, but he wants to go and sit on a bench that's up to him.

Who cares he aint that great anyway would not get in the team at Barca.

Tis but a ruse, before he makes the switch to join my blessed Blues!

It's becoming a bit C Ronaldoish this 'transfer' , is he going, isn't he, do i care?
