All over BBC at the moment.

Barcelona say they are in official negotiations with Arsenal to sign Gunners captain Cesc Fabregas.

The Spanish giants told BBC Sport that talks with Arsenal over a deal for the 22-year-old, who is with Spain's World Cup squad, "became formal" on Tuesday.

"An informal conversation with Arsenal became formal on 1 June and now an official approach has been made to the club," said a Barca spokesman.

Arsenal declined to comment when they were contacted by BBC Sport.


Where does Wenger go from here?

I thought Yaya played a more holding role?

theres not much wenger can do if he really wants to leave. just get a good price for fabregas. although id imagine the board will have the final decision on how much he goes for. anything above 30 mill will look quite appetizing to them imo even if he is worth more in todays market.

Get as much money as he can and then strengthen a number of positions and I don't think Arsenal will be any worse off tbh, they might even perform better on the whole...

it depends on who they get, they first need to decide if they will go 4-4-2 or stick to the 4-3-3. if the first then they need a quality cm, cb and a better winger than walnut/arshavin/rosisky.

if the 2nd then 2 cm and a cb imo
no

I think the undersold Henry, so will want to try and make up the shortfall here.

If Cesc hadn't of publicly said he wanted to go, it would have been £50m possibly (budgets permitting), but I think it may be £35m

Yea he does and cesc will slot in there IMO, i think iniesta will slot back in alongside xavi and villa/pedro will go lw



........................cesc................

.................iniesta.......xavi......

they will have 75% possesion most games so they dont need a great tackler

yes, I don't doubt that.

Frighteningly good midfield. (Even if Iniesta is over rated! :lol: )

Changing my tune since 2008.
If they sell Fabregas I have a horrible feeling Arsenal will come snooping around for Stephen N'Zonzi much sooner than we expected him to :( He is a player who will be able to fill the central midfield berth very soon in the future and in a couple of seasons could be in the Arsenal squad. I just hope that if Fabregas goes, they don't step up their rumoured interest for him.

Barcelona have got bargain of the century if they get him for £35m! I think the price for Henry was about right. He didn't do much in his last season and hasn't done much at Barcelona.

They will probably stick with 4-3-3 i'd imagine. Bring in a top keeper, midfielder and winger and I think they will be better than last season.

id swap xavi and cescs positions around personally. xavi is much more composed on the ball then cesc.
