If you were to ask 100 Arsenal fans who they would like to sign this summer, you would get a lot of different answers, but surely a few would pipe up with the name ‘Fabregas’. A truly wonderful player at Arsenal, some may believe that Fabregas is no longer needed since Jack Wilshere found maturity. But you can’t have too many world class players in your team – Fabregas is of that ilk.
Let’s state from the off that we think it’s unlikely Fabregas will return to Arsenal. Even if the player hasn’t been quite the success that everyone thought he would be so far, he remains an important player at Barcelona and is still the heir apparent to Xavi and Iniesta in the creative midfield area. His form would have to drop off a lot more before the best team in the world would consider letting him go. But let’s have a look at some recent sound bytes from Fab and people around him.
Arsene Wenger, Jan 12th 2013
‘He’s an Arsenal man. He loves Arsenal. He watches every Arsenal game. Barcelona was his home town where he grew up and you have to accept this, especially as Barcelona are the best team in the world.
‘He won’t return in the next two or three years but, after that, maybe…’
Fabregas, 14th Feb 2013
‘Now I have returned and I want to stay, if I can and if I deserve to, forever,’
Gerard Pique (Barcelona) – March 8th, 2013
“Fabregas loves to talk about Arsenal but we say they have no chance of winning the title this season!”
Daily Star, April 28th 2013
CESC FABREGAS could be sold by Barcelona this summer to pay for a big rebuilding job at the Nou Camp – putting Arsenal on red alert.
So, Arsenal fans, do you think that there is any substance to this tale or is it just a load of tabloid fanny? Would you like to see Cesc back at Arsenal, or is the money better spent elsewhere?

I would take him back in a heartbeat carzola, fabregas, wilshere, arteta and walcott with ramsey as the utlity player (ray parlour) figure we would be lethal especially with a new potent striker.
